It would be a hell of an achievement Jim. Not quite on par with Leicester, but in the same ballpark.

The Opta numbers make them favourites, but there's a lot of games yet to play and Bayern's experience will likely kick in down the stretch.

If you offered me a "level with 3 games to go" situation I'd take it now...the head-to-head in ~3 weeks will be huge.

I'd say Bayern are delighted with today's Klopp news. Xabi Alonso already being quizzed about it at press conference. Will add another facet to title race now.

Christ you'd never let them win one if you were Bayern so the whole country doesn't die of boredom, with them winnowing it every year.

Nearly for never?

The big clubs have voted to accept new investment into the top two leagues. Selling a stake in television rights etc. Loads of protests at games over it. Currently watching the Hamburg v Hanover match, which has been stopped for over 20 minutes with people chaining things to the goal and constantly throwing things on to the pitch.

Watching Stuttgart-Leverkusen, great game 2-2 after 80mins, German cup

oh yeah, no live up, didn't even notice
Don't tell me who won.

Edit, Leverkusen just scored in the last minute (which was actually 3 days ago)

The big one tomorrow at 17.30. Leverkusen v Bayern. One of the best sides to watch in Europe at the moment against a disjointed, hard to watch Bayern. But obviously the latter still have some top individual talent. I really hope Leverkusen do it.
