Bayern are already looking like making us do a 2nd season going 6 points clear after 7 games. Far to early to get excited for anyone from 2nd to 15th split by 5 points. Most concerning is BMG's start to the season. Of course it was Hannover a unowned team that nicked a point from Bayern
Champions League
Dortmund follow the trend of our Serie A save with a easy win over Olympiakos before being soundly beaten by Man Utd, They should have easily qualified by then. Mixed news from Leipzig. A great win in Benfica was balanced with a draw a home to Ajax not the way to go into the Barcelona double header. Bayern drew both there games.
Europa League
Koln won against Brugge then lost to Fenerbahce, Better news from Hoffenheim loosing there game to top seeds Lyon but winning in Cyprus against APOEL. Hertha make a shambolic start with only 1 point from two games and bottom spot of a hard group to be fair with CSKA, AEK and Bordeaux. Frieburg got 4 points from there two easy games with a PSV double header up next

Bayern move 8pts clear at the top but its still very tight from 2nd to bottom split by 8 points
Champions League
Dortmund are all but through to the last 16. There 6 points clear of Olympiakos with 2 games to goand a +10GD They will lock down 2nd place if they avoid loosing 2-0 in Greece, Leipzig win in the Nou Camp with back up striker Augustin getting the only goal. We lost at home but 3 points from two Barcelona games is beyond a dream, Bayern are tied at the top on 8 pts with Napoil
Europa League
Koln lost again but are still in 2nd but just 2pts ahead of Vitesse. Finally Hertha are still bottom of the group of death but if results got there way in match 5 they could go top! Hoffenheim are 5pts clear in 2nd spot Freiburg are 3 pts off qualification

Bayern are still well clear and there's only Levekusen in chase with Schalke leading the chasing pack. Bremen are the chairman team that plummets to the bottom this month but dont be despondent . It was Hoffenheim last month and look at them now
Champions League
Dortmund are in the last 16 making up for there awful league form. If they beat Man Utd 2-0 or more in the Westfalenstadion they top the group
Leipzig are held by Benfica who get there first point and we need to go to Ajax and avoid defeat to reach the last 16.
same for Bayern when they go to Monaco are held by Napoli
Europa League
Koln win against Fenerbahce to all but secure a last 32 spot, Hoffenheim only need a draw at home to APOEL in a 2nd place decider. And Hertha almost fulfilled my prophecy and win to go 2nd but still anyone can go through in an amazing group.
For shame on Freiburg as they loose to Zorya and are out of Europe.

Leverkusen breath some life into the title race, or ate at least keeping it alive with th egap down to 6. After that we have chairmen teams from 3rd to 13th in a 11 point pack while at the bottom with the worst goal difference and coming off 6 defeats in a row are Bremen. How can dporter8999 turn this around?
Champions League
All 3 teams get the results required to get 2nd place
