yeah and Stuttgart is back in the upper half, but missing ten points on the leading team . with both Freiburg and Karlsruhe winning, my dream of 4 teams from Baden-Württemberg in the Bundesliga draws closer again.

Tomorrow the Bundesliga will start the second half of season and King kang is still missed.
Tem is a fan of Stuttgart, what isn't much better then King's disapperance.
So be it. let the teams play, as long as they do have enough money.

What interesting season. Bayern who was almost sure favourite is not doing so well as expected. Hertha is ahead and 4 points behind Bayern, Hoffenheim, VFL and HSV. Who would have thought that Bayern having Toni, Ribery, Podolski, Klose, Ze Roberto will struggle for the second spot after 23 matches. Is it a coach or do they have similar problem like Real when it became too Galactic. Still I think Bayern should win it though I would prefer HSV from the top 5 teams.

it's now highly unlikely Bayern is going to win this season, i'm not sure yet who will make it. as for DFB Cup i assume Bremen will make it.

Good for Wolfsburg. I hope that they won't fall apart, since it should be interesting to watch their trio of Misimović, Džeko, and Grafite, next year in CL, playing against the best European defences.

Dzeko is actually doing very well in the BiH national team, too. Something I am more happy about, :), than the Wolfsburg success. Them making it to the World Cup could make up for Bayern's failures easily.

not so big surprise, moeny does shoot goals afterall. Stuttgart after first round was 10th and ended 3rd. too bad Dortmund narrowly missed the UEFA Cup or European League or whatever they call it next.

7. Leverkusen
8. Bochum
9. Hertha Berlin
Good to see FC Köln back in the top league.
Go over more in details as the season goes on but here is little Dortmund preview for Ulrich. |
if i were you i wouldn't publish that list though, i don't even know where to start my critics. bayern might but maybe not win again this season but this season is less likely than last one. but Schalke on 2nd? i don't know what Bremen did to you to be on 4th spot but they are definatley ahead of Schalke and on Bayerns tail big time. Stuttgart on 3rd well we'll see, they had a strong start which is uncommon, but it will be good if it remains like that, i think after the last season the position of our coach is maybe not very secure even if there was no critics but you'll never know in football and his position was never secure in the first place. the rest of the clubs on your list are not even worth a single comment. you've forgotten two clubs big time: Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. yeah they are "new" names sort of but those two clubs, particularly Hoffenheim have the bayern factor, that is a uber-rich sponsor big time. Wolfsburg has a good coach that doesn't need much itnro and their cadre was well last year and with Volkswagen as sponsor they want to attack the UEFA Cup with flying colours. and Hoffenheim, they play their first ever season in the Bundesliga, just like they emerged from obscurity and had a sudden rise thanks to money money money from a generous sponsor. their story of sucess would be worth a movie but no it isn't, money don't shoot goals as they say but money gets you good players, and those shoot the goals, so yes, money does dominate the bUndesliga big time. this is also my big grudge this season and certainly i won't watch it as excited as i would otherwise. Hoffenheim, my new pet hate after Bayern will most likely establsih themselves in the Bundesliga just like Bayern did (remember it was money again, Munichs traditional major club is 1860 München, as the name suggests a club with tradition). Ok my rant is finished :P

looking back at the beginning of the season, yeah you can call me The Prophet if you like... almost everything i predicted happened.
