Great to see Munich slip up again and only draw; Stuttgart played very well and deserved at least a point.
Good to see Schalke win.

Copa 90 did a feature on the Scummer v Skate (Saints v Pompey) derby down here. Hilarious for those of us who live down here.
They were interviewing in Portsmouth when a 60ish bloke interrupted and asked them what they were doing.
The interviewer said he was asking about their attitude to the Derby to which he replied “them? They’re only good for one thing!” At which point he clenched his fist and made punching motions….
