The Bundesliga's top two will both look to keep their leads at the top of the table today, but both Dortmund and Mainz face difficult tests against Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen respectively. Elsewhere, a struggling Stuttgart side will look to improve their fortunes against St. Pauli. With Bayern Munich dropping more points, wins for Dortmund, […]

With the champions stuttering yesterday away to Hamburg, some of the league's stronger sides had the opportunity this Saturday to take a lead over Die Roten and confirm their title aspirations. Also, the relegation dogfight got a little bit scrappier as some of the league's less fortunate sides were condemned to further defeats. Here are […]

Matchday nine has started off with an anti-climactic nil-nil draw featuring Hamburg and Bayern Munich. Chances are, though, that the rest of the weekend will be packed with goals and excitement. Let's get to the games. Borussia Monchengladbach v Werder Bremen Gladbach continue their slide to the lower reaches of the table with little hope […]

Louis van Gaal's side were lucky to leave the Imtech Arena with anything at all after Die Roten were outplayed by their hosts for large parts of the match. Bayern Munich's inability to sustain periods of possession nearly cost them, but some heroic goalkeeping from Hans-Jorg Butt and a little bit of paint off the […]

Bayern Munich will be looking to continue their recent good form with an away win here over Hamburg. Louis van Gaal will be well aware that if his side drop any more points, they will be too far behind the pack leaders to defend their Bundesliga crown. Hamburg currently occupy 5th place, and hold a […]

The Bundesliga's other two Champions League representatives took to the field tonight after Bayern Munich's 3-2 win over Cluj yesterday. Schalke hosted Israeli champions Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Werder Bremen travelled to Holland to take on Twente. Schalke 04 3 – 1 Hapoel Tel-Aviv Felix Magath's side have had an awful start to the Bundesliga […]

Bayern Munich have all but secured their passage into the round of sixteen last night with a rather fortunate 3-2 win over Romanian side CFR Cluj. Two own goals and a Mario Gomez strike were just enough for Bayern Munich to pick up another three points, and the win, although slightly nervy, was more important […]

Ever since the news broke there was a palpable sense of disbelief amongst fans, the media and Blogs. We awaited hearing from the men at the centre of the story and we got that hearing today. It appears that Sir Alex Ferguson is as shaken by this news as we are even though he has […]

Louis van Gaal will be looking to build off of a great 3-0 win over Hannover on the weekend tonight against Cluj. Three points most certainly means a place in the round of sixteen, so a win is definitely the priority here for the Bavarian side. Die Roten will undoubtedly be favourites, but with their […]

In goal, I've got Frankfurt's Oka Nikolov. The Macedonian shot stopper saved a potentially game changing penalty against Kaiserslautern when the scores were still level. While he wasn't troubled too much other than that penalty incident, he was pretty confident and composed when dealing with crosses and through-balls. At right-back, I've got Hoffenheim defender Andreas […]

Kaiserslautern 0 – 3 Eintracht Frankfurt I definitely didn't see this one coming! Frankfurt's Theofanis Gekas was once again the man of the match for his side as he scored a brace and lifted his side to what ended up being a comfortable win. Kaiserslautern had the chance to go ahead after 25 minutes, when […]

After the emphatic win for Everton, we continue our discussion over to the match of the Haves and the Have Nots. Blackpool V Man City EPLtalk Live Blog

Kaiserslautern – Eintracht Frankfurt This match is a pivotal one as far as the relegation dogfight is concerned. Both teams play a similar system and it should be a very tight encounter. Kaiserslautern's Srdjan Lakic and Frankfurt's Theofanis Gekas have been banging in the goals this season, and their aerial ability and physical strength will […]

Great drama in Saturday's Bundesliga games, and goals to go with it. Mainz's winning-streak ended at the hands of Hamburg, St. Pauli showed they can score goals, Bayern Munich's second string proved themselves, Werder Bremen picked up the pieces, and Bayer Leverkusen confirmed themselves as a genuine title threat. Let's get to the games! Werder […]

After what was another really boring international break, I'm sure everyone's just really looking forward to a Saturday devoted to club football. So, for this week, I'm going to skip the dramatic build-up and just get straight into it! Werder Bremen v SC Freiburg Werder Bremen have recently had a well-publicized dressing room rift that […]
