if you cannit, let me know.

I failed to connect the wk 17 with the fact that this round decides the Rückrunde title!

Must have been drained after visiting 4 matchticket webshops, from 3
countries, on Monday. Only got tickets for 3 matches, though, as Burton
Albion couldn't process my MasterCard.

I for one look forward to a 2nd div with the Hoff! Who needs first div football, it is not even real!

Kiel - Dortmund 4-2 (1)
Leverkusen - Mainz 1-0 (19)
Frankfurt - Freiburg 4-1 (15)
Wolfsburg - Gladbach 5-1 (11)
Bochum - Pauli 1-0 (10)
Stuttgart - Leipzig 2-1 (2)
Bayern - Hoffenheim 5-0 (21)
Werder - Heidenheim 3-3 (10)
Union - Augsburg 0-2 (7)

Hoff isn't any better, but now they have a manager who can get the badge
in. That's something.

Binder 21
Jesper 20
Werner 19
MH 15
FM 14
Doc 7

Bochum's win and Heidenheim's draw puts Binder on top.


Red Jersey
Jesper 368
FM 368
Werner 362
MH 357
Binder 287
Doc 200

Bochum gives, and Gnabry takes away - the Hinrunde title is shared.


Stage wins
MH 6
Jesper 4
FM 3

Meanwhile, in 2. Bundesliga Magdeburg are now provisorily leading the
league despite not having won a single home game all season.

That cant be right? But they do have 8 draws, so possibly.

It doesnt matter Koeln are back on top and we are projecting they will
return to the 1st div.

We are at the end of our Polar Vortex event. Still -15 C this morning,
but should go up to - 6C this afternoon and a balmy 0C tomorrow. Ice
fishing guys gotta be real happy this winter, not to mention the longest skating rink in the World is fully open for the first time in years. I
bet Mr lily White has been catching all sorts of Lings and Catfish and
jellied eels.

This could be a week where picking 2-2 draws win the tipsliga.

14:30 GMT
Augsburg
Heidenheim
Heidi needs points to stay up, so could end draw.


14:30 GMT
Dortmund
Werder Bremen
The Pretenders are dropping points all the time and played midweek, so
Werder should be confident of a point

14:30 GMT
Freiburg
Bayern
Freiburg no longer have to take bike rides in the midweek to far off
places like London. Bayern cant win either. Losing at home to Dutchmen
in the midweek! The harrykane curse is for real

14:30 GMT
Mainz
Stuttgart
Two teams trying to make Europe. Mainz the surprise pkg of the season,
not to mention VfB had midweek

14:30 GMT
RB Leipzig
Leverkusen
Leipzig at home could get points, should be close, I think, Red Bull
cant be as bad as their record suggests.

17:30 GMT
M'gladbach
VfL Bochum
Not much of a topspiel, any of the early matches are better. this should
be a win for BMG, but all the others could be draws.

Ciao,
Werner

Ok, no draws at HT, but every match still could end 2-2, so the dream is
still alive.

Better leave your bananas at home in Hamburg. 2-1

What have bananas got to do with German football?!

Baxk in December, someone in the Union Berlin crowd threw a lighter at
the Bochum keeper, who went down and was taken off. After the match
Bochum complained and the 1-1 was turned into a 0-3.

Union naturally appealed, and we're still waiting for the final verdict.

Back in the day (can't remember the year), St. Pauli fans threw bananas
at Oliver Kahn. Hence the warning against repeating that.
