A somewhat rare midweek group of games see Hoffenheim clinging to a one point lead, while Bayern start to move up the table, I kind of doubt Bayern will be Christmas champions but that is kind of a curse anyhow? Hertha Berlin are another team that is quietly moving up the table. Vedad Ibisevic is the top scorer with 11 goals in ten games! So this guy must be the new Gerd Muller?!?!? Who is he anyhow? Well he has played everywhere from Switzerland to St. louis to the Mustard regions of france and of course Germany. Depending on who I talk to he may have had a father who was a professional players, he possibly broke all kinds of US college records and has played as few as two times for Bosnia or as many as 18? Well this weekend the good folks at GOLtv are showing the Hoffenheim game so I can see if he actually will be the new Gerd Muller or just another Sergei Barbarez?

Fr 31.10.08 20:30 Bayer Leverkusen - VfL Wolfsburg -:- (-:-)

It is a good thing that Leverkuesen has a pharmeceutical company in town because the players will need some help after playing only a couple of days ago ( I really could as well after tearing a hamstring last night playing againt some hard running oafs, but i refuse to take NSAIDS or any drugs that do not come from a Chinaman or Columbian or beer bottle) . this should be an interesting game and the KDF team can prove if they are for real with a good performance.

Sa 01.11.08 15:30 Bayern München - Arminia Bielefeld -:- (-:-)

Bayern looked OK against Frankfurt but still are not that impressive, Borowski finalyl started a game and Ze Roberto played Left back. Against Bielefeld it should not matter who plays but I still think they can be beaten by the likes of a hard running well trained team.

Werder Bremen - Hertha BSC -:- (-:-)

The way Bremen is playing I can see Hertha winning this easily.

VfB Stuttgart - 1. FC Köln -:- (-:-)

Same sentence as above just replace Bremen with Stuttgart.

Hannover 96 - Hamburger SV -:- (-:-)

Hamburg are still in the running and need to win.

Energie Cottbus - FC Schalke 04 -:- (-:-)

Same sentence as above replace hanburg wit Schalke

1899 Hoffenheim - Karlsruher SC -:- (-:-)

Ah the game of the day! (For me at least.) If they score five goals and allow three i will become a Hoffenheim fan!

So 02.11.08 17:00 Borussia Dortmund - VfL Bochum -:- (-:-)

If Dortmund win and all the other top 3 to5 teams lose it will be a real tight top of the table in Germany and anybodys guess who to pick for winter champions?

Borussia M'gladbach - Eintracht Frankfurt -:- (-:-)

The commentator on GOLtv for the Bayern v frankfurt game made it known to everybody dozens of times how badly hit with injuries Frankfurt is but regardless I though they played well againt Bayern and think they will win this game.
