The Bundesliga - Week 23
Posted by Pete in Bundesliga | 28 February 2006
Well, I didn't believe it was possible, but Stuttgart won a game. Away from home too. At Hamburg of all places. But that really was as far it went in terms of shock results. Cologne predictably rolled over at home, while Hertha are still maintaining that there's no need to panic, despite not having won a Bundesliga game since the first week of December.
Nevertheless, Sunday's result from Hamburg means that only Bremen are still challenging Bayern for the league title, although I should really include the words "snowball's", "in", "hell" and "chance" in that sentence.
It's not all good news for Bayern though. Some bright spark has decided to refresh the rumours surrounding Michael Ballack's future by throwing Chelsea's name into the mixer. Purely because Real, Man U, Arsenal (haha), Barcelona, Juve have already been touted. The cases of Stevie G and Vieira certainly spring to mind. Yes, his contract's up for renewal and the press have to sell their newspapers, but guys, it's already getting tedious.
