• BILD are desperately rolling out cheap new wags each week. When will the van der Vaarts show pity for a mass circulating tabloid and return to the Bundesliga? (BILD)
• Deutsche Welle get something BILD failed to get for years: an interview from Borussia Mönchengladbach’s coach Hans Meyer. Not a good week to be a tabloid. (DW Bundesliga Kick Off! – MP4 – VOD)
• Raphael Honigstein gives Wolfsburg their 15 minutes of fame. (Guardian Sportblog)
• It will be squeaky burn time in the Bundesliga soon; and normally there is only one particular team that can cope with it.* (Some People are on the Pitch)
