Stuttgart were the big winners in Germany this week as they were the only team in the top four to record a victory and move into second. Scalke 04 and Bayern Munich who were 2nd & 3rd at the start of play drew 2-2 and were both overtaken by Stuttgart ,leaders Werder Bremen were surprisingly held 1-1 at home by Cottbus.
Standings Werder Bremen 20 pts, Stuttgart 18, Bayern Munich 17, Shalke 17.

I think the Bundesliga is really going places ,the standard of football is high they get bumper crowds and the title race is genuinly competetive.
