    From those numbers i can only ask one question
    HOW THE F### ARE WE IN DEBT?

    there is something going on, most likely bad managment with financial investment and handling of money as well as player contracts
    the number of fans doesnt surprise me though:rolleyes::p:cool:

    Hey, a big win down there last April that cost Klinsi his job...seems like this is probably a good time to be playing them.

    Well, not a great performance...especially in the 2nd half. Still, a point at Bayern is nothing to sneeze at.

    1st half was pretty good for a good period of time, second half was ugly
    whens the last time we played a decent team and played well through out the whole 90mins?

    Again well done Felix and FC Schalke 04.

    btw What was the average age of our midfield? 20?

    i missed the 1st half but the second half or (to be exact) the final quarter
    schalke came and started to play, Monchengladbach defense didnt let anything go through for quite a while,
    well next game is vs hertha who are last in the table with 5 points
    lets bring our A game (or B):D to crush these guys lol jk
    seriously we should win

    That was pretty weak. Rakitic did not exactly do much to make anyone miss him when he is gone before next season.

    The only question is if Magath can unload him in January or not. He is clearly surplus to needs with the VERY young and cheap midfield that is being put together. How did people like seeing Holtby start vs. Hannover?

    well the financial situation most likely will set for rakitic to leave and we make some money out of it
    i like holtby and moravek to play together for at least 25+ minutes(when they are not injured)
    and kenia as well, this is probably going to be our future midfield

    those rumors mostly came after he played well in euros for croatia..rakitic has been a big disapointment..i remember when i first saw him play i thought this kid had a chance to be a really good player..all the early hype has gone to his head which i think is his main problem..

    pretty much yeah
    and the #10 doesnt really help him out, in fact most fans question and even state that he doesnt deserve it
    lets see if he can redeem himself in another league

    to be honest there arent really any true #10 in todays games..you dont see too many wizards on the ball like zidane riquelme or prosinecki anymore..

    which is funny since todays trend is becoming more involved in the middle of the pitch, the true winger is becoming extinct except in holland

    good win today vs hertha
    2-0
    schalke with alot of chances, hertha had chances too
    but not as much
    rafinha did an excellent job
    we are 3rd with 28 points, pretty good for a new coach
    lets see how we rank vs bremen on sat. 12th
    jermaine jones is back for training

    Was that first goal onside or what? The first hour was classic Schalke...dominate play but have nothing to show for it. In the end, they did the business and this does seem to be the different under Magath. The Bremen match (NOT on GolTV :mad: ) will go a long way toward determining just how for real this club is.

    to me it looked offsides......but the feed i was watching didnt give enough replays to really determine that
    yeah
    the bremen match will really test magath and schalke
    im more worried about us not scoring first
    games that we have scored 1st, we have won and drew but not lost which is good
    lets see if we can grind a result

    It was a dreadful game, no talking around it. Thats pretty much the way I expected the team to play the whole season and why I don't trust their current league position.

    The only reason Schalke "dominated" the first 60mins or so was because Hertha didn't even try to attack and constantly made horrible mistakes. You play a different team than this Berlin one and you lose 3:0 with such an performance.


    I'm not sure if Kuranyi really was offside. He could have been on the same level as the ball, when Bordon headed it, which, as far as I know, isn't offside. Off course the commentator just blabbered about the position of the defenders....

    As the season is 34 games, you are wise not to trust the table after 15.
