these thursday/saturday schedules have a special reason in germany.
There are TV contracts which require 2 matches at sunday but dont allow more than 2 (different TV channels have the rights and neither side wants changes in this area).
Due to the fact that there are still 4 german teams playing in the UEFA Cup (Bayern, Bremen, Hamburg and Leverkusen) the problem exists that most of the time just 2 of em can play at sunday to get the needed regeneration time while the other two are forced to play already again at sunday.
Though in the end is doesnt really matter, all current BL top teams have this problem, so no reason for anyone to complain that its unfair.
Btw Gomez is simply amazing.
14 Goals in 17 BL matches (not to mention his CL and cup goals) and in the year 2008 12 goals in 7 matches and this despite the fact that he had some injuries throwing him back.
Currently for sure the best german striker (and will mostly likely partner Klose at the EC) and i doubt that he will stay at Stuttgart if they dont qualify for a european competition.
Even the UEFA Cup would be a waste of Gomez class.
