It’s changing every week in the Bundesliga at the moment. Schalke took their chances last week and with a home game against a weak Bochum team, they should stay at the top. But wait, this is a local derby, so throw the form book away. Bremen are at home too, and after beating Chelsea mid-week, will be in a confident mood. Major concerns for Hamburg though, who have only won once so far this season. And they have to play Bayern. At the relegation end, Mainz need to start winning sometime soon, as do Gladbach who are currently sliding down the table. Can’t see it happening in Stuttgart though. Viel Spass!
Schalke – Bochum 2-1 (Schalke looking good)
Bremen – Bielefeld 3-0 (Getting into shape for Barcalona)
Hamburg – Bayern 1-2 (Doom and gloom in the North)
Hertha – Aachen 2-1 (Berlin on the up)
Hannover – Mainz 1-0 (Crucial points for Hannover)
Frankfurt – Dortmund 1-1 (Two mid-table teams)
Wolfsburg – Nürnberg 1-1 (Quiz question: In which city are VW’s made?)
Leverkusen – Cottbus 3-1
Stuttgart – Gladbach 1-0

Thanks for your questions Damian. Here my humble two cents worth:
1. ‘Pizza’ scored the winner for Bayern against Hamburg this weekend. I have never rated him as that great, but he has been with Bayern for several years and is a prolific scorer in the Bundesliga (this was his tenth goal against Hamburg!)
2. Hargreaves? Yes they miss him, though Deisler is making his comeback at the moment. Though his health is a concern, his talent isn’t. He set up both goals. I don’t know if Hargreaves will leave, but Bayern have insisted he is not for sale. Name the price though, and I think he will be gone….
Tschues
Two questions on Bayern Munich:
1. What do you think of Bayern’s striker Claudio Pizzaro? I saw him score 2 great goals in mid-week in the Champions League, is he any good?
2. Do Bayern miss Hargreaves and will he move on?
Cheers
