    Notes
    - Another embarassing loss for FCZ. I don't see Lucien Favre in Zurich much longer...
    - Basel stays undefeated at the winter break (with the only tie coming against Aarau.)
    - Servette's win brings 'em back closer to YB.
    - YB with a lucky draw against GC. Grasshoppers could not hold on to three leads and missed several quality opportunities to put YB away. All this despite being a man down, after Ionel Gane got a ridiculous 2nd yellow card for "celebrating his goal too much."

    Now we still have the cup quarterfinals next weekend, and then the ball will rest until spring (except for Sion that has to play until shortly before x-mas).

    Nice way for Servette to end the first half. This has been an interesting first half of the season. It should be fun to see if GC can make a run at the top teams. Also it should be interesting to see if Servette can catch YB.

    I imagine that as the season progresses, the fight at the bottom will also intesify. The last one goes down for sure, and there is no promotion/relegation round for salvation.
