    On this occasion, I agree and it's a fair point, my apologies. It annoys me when posts get overly political all the time and I haven't helped here.

    Moving on, I think promotion is beyond their reach. HSV are four points clear and Darmstadt and Heidenheim can't be caught.

    Shout out to Heidenheim btw, who gave never been in the bundesliga and were in the 5th tier until relatively recently.
    Weren't Heidenheim Glatzel's old club? ooops, don't want to re-open that one! :hehe:

      It is!

      What German football needs more than anything is for someone, anyone, other than Bayern to win the league

        Agree completely. I'd even prefer if it was someone other than Bayern or Dortmund. Leipzig (much as I dislike them), Union and Freiburg have at least kept things a bit competitive this year, but Bayern winning every time makes it very dull. (Part of the reason that I was hoping Arsenal could stir things up here this year!).

          Yeah absolutely. RB Leipzig are my least favourite team of the lot. I've objected to Red Bill since Dietrich Matecschitz took over Salzburg and totally rebranded them. That said, I would rather they win than Bayern, at least for once.

          Freiburg and Union having amazing seasons. But what amazes me is how very big clubs from very big cities (HSV, Stuttgart, Schalke, Hertha, Eintract, FC koln, Fortuna Dusseldorf etc) continue to underperform.

          German football gets so much right but it does seem to have lost its way a little in the last decade, and a large part of that is Bayerns dominance..and fair play to them, they deserve it, but it weakens the entire league structure
