    Schalke should not be so far down the table.

    That was a very good game. Not an inch given. Some great passages of play and great players on show working for their wage. Schalke back heel goal disallowed and all. Fans non stop singing and banners, makes the difference. Something very noticeable in the EPL, 30,000 plus stadiums up and down England doubling up as libraries. Anyway Bayern 1-1 Schalke.:50:

    German league must be the best supported in the World by a distance. Amazing the size and enthusiasm the support of even their lower league teams can be.

    Looks like Dortmund vs Leipzig is the best live game at 5.30. Quite a huge game in the Bundesliga I imagine.

    What's Leipzig's story anyway, I hadn't heard of them before. Did Red Bull buy them and provide a huge transfer kitty? I did read they are the most unpopular team in the Bundesliga for some reason.

    Dortmund not having the best season, hope they're still playing with their usual style and verve. Great team to watch in full flow.

    Small club bought over by Red Bull, spent quite a lot of money buying players and taking them up.

    Having a very good season although the time i've watched them they don't actually look that good. More of a Leicester than a Spurs.

    @ILoveTheCeltic Wow so they've just been promoted and are challenging for the title? That is quite incredible, they must have signed some players. Mind you as you say they might just be having a Leicester season and caught everyone off guard.

    I guess Red Bull are known to be a rich company who are just making teams successful by finance and that's what makes them unpopular. Mind you Bayern just buy all the best players from other teams, they can't be too popular either.

    News of Bayern leading RB at halftime in their match was greeted by cheers at grounds up and down Germany. Even Bayern hate is trumped by RB hate.

    Did Red Bull not buy Lokomotiv Leipzig who had a real history and great side in the 60s 70s. Not done well in years. And don't quote me, but I think Red Bull bought the club, scrapped Lokomotiv and started again as a new club.(sound Familiar) No they are basically just a promotion tool whose head quarters are in Austria. Just another corporate * in the world of fantasy football. Real football suffers.

    Dembele's having a really good game so far, past few times ive watched him you could see his quality but he'd been inconsistant. Looking class here, skinning * for fun.

    Even with a win Dortmund will be 12 points off Bayern who dropped two points today. Not really have a great season domestically. Though they've been very impressive in the champions league. Still a very young team mind.
