Like I predicted in Saturday's Bundesliga preview, round fourteen has so far been full of surprises and close encounters. What was most interesting, I think, is the beginning of a real split between sides who look set to establish themselves in the upper echelons of the Bundesliga, and sides who may just fade away and […]

After Mainz's impressive 3-0 win over Nurnberg, the pressure is on the rest of the Bundesliga's would-be title challengers to get positive results and keep pace with the leaders of the pack. Let's get to the games. Bayern Munich v Eintracht Frankfurt Bayern Munich's capitulation in Rome in midweek may weigh heavily on some minds, […]

Thomas Tuchel's side look back to their best after a bit of a down period that saw them drop out of top spot in the Bundesliga table. Tonight, they put on a top performance against a Nurnberg side who hold a respectable mid-table position after some strong results earlier in the season. Andre Schuerrle was […]

With Bayern Munich's place in the round of sixteen booked despite their loss in Rome, the pressure was on the Bundesliga's other two Champions League representatives to step up to the plate and deliver. Unfortunately, only one of those two sides managed to get the right result. Schalke 3 – 0 Olympique Lyon This is […]

Bayern Munich went into Rome knowing that their spot in the round of sixteen had already been booked. Still, they would have wanted to avoid what ended up happening at all costs. The visiting Germans held a two-goal lead at half-time thanks to Mario Gomez, who has been in stunning form this season. Louis van […]

Bayern Munich's loss in Rome yesterday meant little in terms of their actual European ambitions, because qualification to the round of sixteen had already been sealed. The situation for the Bundesliga's other two Champions League representatives is far different, though. Werder Bremen are very nearly out of European competition altogether this season, so a big […]

The sporting director role, it just doesn’t work in English football does it? Except it does, well did; very recently in fact. Chelsea’s double winning side of 2009/10 had a sporting director and his name is Frank Arnesen, the only other man besides Roman Abramovic a Chelsea employee dare not cross. Arnesen has been at Chelsea since a […]

Louis van Gaal's men will travel to The Eternal City to take on Roma in an epic European encounter. Bayern Munich will be less concerned with the result because their place in the round of sixteen has already been booked. Roma, on the other hand, have not earned any guarantees, and a positive result in […]

After Sunday's results, the pressure was on Wolfsburg to pick up three points at St. Pauli to keep pace with the rest of the Bundesliga's big boys. But, as has been the story for Wolfsburg this season, they failed to impress. Elsewhere, Stuttgart were expected to deliver in front of their home fans against Koln, […]

In late October this website asked, Why no praise for West Brom? West Brom then promptly went on to win one more point in the following games. It is with that lesson that I must apologise to any Bolton fans if their team suddenly goes on a slide but it cannot go without saying any longer. […]

There are so many candidates this week. I almost wanted to nominate all three of Raul's goals against Werder Bremen, but that would have been a little bit unfair. Last week's winner was Sergio Pinto, who scored an incredible long range volley. Pick your favourite and comment below! Here are the nominees in no particular […]

Saturday's games were representative of how this Bundesliga has gone so far. Goals galore, shock results, and one clear leader of the pack in the form of Borussia Dortmund. Here are the results! Borussia Monchengladbach 2 – 3 Mainz Mainz have finally ended their poor run of form with a comeback win here against Gladbach. […]

Werder Bremen striker Marko Arnautovic has been the subject of quite a bit of debate over the past few weeks. His arrogant, selfish actions have caused a bit of a stir around his club, and it's possible that some mental supporters took their revenge on the young star. He refused to shake the hand of […]

With no Friday match this week, Saturday is busier than ever. Dortmund will look to continue their domination of the Bundesliga with an away win at Freiburg, Bayern Munich will be hoping to continue their resurgence at Bayer Leverkusen, and Schalke will be looking to dig themselves out of the relegation zone with an away […]

Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner has emerged as a transfer target for Bayern Munich after the Danish striker issued an unsuccessful ultimatum to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, in a plea to receive more playing time. For the ultimatum, Arsene Wenger dropped Bendtner from the playing squad, although the French tactician cited 'medical reasons' for the striker's absence. […]
