Pretty good match on ESPN Classic at the minute (it is a live game though), Nurnberg and Frankfurt.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Typical Friday game so far.
Brilliant goal that. These Japanese fellas aren't half bad.
0-2 Inui, tidy goal that
Kiyotake's set pieces seems to be Nürnberg's only attacking outlet.
Aye, their first two goals last week came from Kiyotake's delivery. And against Dortmund.
Kiyotake assist 
Quelle surprise.

1-2 Polter

What a miss from Polter
Hate when refs do that. FT.
Four wins from four for Frankfurt. (just wanted to type that).
Rode looks decent.

Dortmund at Hamburg starts in 15 minutes.
Crazy game at Hamburg, 3-2.
Dortmund lose for the first time after 31 (!) unbeaten games. Current record-holders Hamburg with theirfirst win of the season. Bayern 2-0 winners against Schalke - five points ahead of BVB now.
How did Dortmund not get an equaliser... Kuba and Schieber especially had amazing chances.
That was a cracking goal Son scored.

That was two lovely headers by Mandzukic against Wolfsburg, nice assist from Shaqiri for the first one.
Perfect start to a season by Bayern. Dortmund seem to repeat last year's start, where they slipped at the beginning of the season. Their defence, at the moment, is simply leaking too many goals, easy goals.
Dortmund looks tired atm.
Their pressing isn't working really well and they sorely miss Bender in front of their defense.
A lot of players are totally out of form atm.
Schmelzer, Hummels, Piszczek are far from their best and Weidenfeller seems to have caught up to their bad form.
Leitner isn't really ready yet for a starting spot and they sorely missed Gündogan and Bender imo.
Götze on the other hand was really amazing once he came on, a bit wasteful with two good chances but he really is such an outstanding talent, just a joy to watch.

Hoffenheim's Boris Vukcevic in a life-threatening condition after a car crash, according to media reports. Vukcevic exceeded the speed limit, lost control over his car and crashed head-on into an oncoming truck, according to "Bild".
Hope he makes it!
Hope he makes it!Who's going to stop Bayern?
It's usually only Bayern who stop themselves.
Still a long season but they look really strong and the rotation seems to do them a lot of good.
Of course the season isn't over but Dortmund and Schalke will have a hard time stopping them and they are the only ones I can see competing with them this season, maybe Leverkusen if they can keep up their good run they started this week but then again they always come second, so no it's either Dortmund or Schalke if anyone.
Naturally for Dortmund to compete again they will have to sort out their defensive problems as soon as possible.
You forgot that Schalke is always second, too.
And at Bayern not even everybody has shown up. Right now Müller leads with 9 scorerpoints (4 goals + 5 assists) in front of Mandzukic (6 goals + 1 assist) and Schweinsteiger/Kroos/Gustavo with 3 scorerpoints. Ribery and Robben are on 1 or 2 in this list... Let them get in gear...
Dortmund 5 Gladbach 0. Back on track?
Maybe. But Gladbach likes to give their points to Dortmund. And I asked myself if it is smart to run in high gear after a 2:0 lead if you play Manchester City midweek and away in Hannover on Sunday. If you win all of this matches this week you could bring back the enthusiasm - but if you do fail that might be different.
I just doubt that Bayern does the same mistakes they did last year - especially as they have so much options this year, are warned and seem to really be hungry.
Both of Reus' goals were quite nice.
Bayern look good for sure. Looking forward to City v Dortmund.
I do not think they looked good today. Bremen defended very nice and they had to wait until late to overpower them with better fitness. There were two or three that were doing the energy-saving modus and the match was to slow. It is difficult for the front three to go against a couple of defenders when the defense of the opponent has time to position themselves.
I think Dortmund should start with Gündogan and Bender in the upcoming games now that he's back. If Hummels and co can get their heads straight they'll be a force this season.
Finally a good performance from Dortmund today. A good win and hopefully it will give them confidence moving forward.
Well, Bayern won again yesterday, and a late equaliser from The One for Hannover today means Dortmund drop another two points.
Also, it seems that this happened,

Arango has one of the sweetest left pegs ever. He used to score rockets all the time too for Mallorca.
Dortmund was dominant in the first half but Hannover dominated the second half after fouling two Dortmund players out of the game.
Also Dortmund was denied two pretty clear penalties, one in the 92nd minute.
Still Dortmund looks too inconsistent atm.
Non the less Hannover is a team that keeps impressing me, they always fight like lions and make the most out of their limited abilities you have to respect that.

How was that not a pen, the one on Reus at the end? Didn't see a replay but it looked clear as day.
The Bayern match wasn't great, not much happened apart from the goals. They look a great team though. Think Shaqiri will be an amazing player.

No way that was a penalty. Check it out again, the defender got the ball.
With Dortmund drawing tonight, Bundesliga is done. Crown Bayern champions now.
I'll take your word for it, as I said I didn't see a replay.
It's not over yet, but Dortmund can't really afford to be any further behind by the time they play Bayern in December.
Takashi Usami against Darmstadt.
Dortmund are a machine, they will find the consistency domestically again.
Really interested to see how they fare vs Madrid.
Dortmund vs Schalke is on later. It sucks that it clashes with the United game.
