Well first and foremost I must say that Im sorry that I have not posted in eons. This was do to college, track, social life, finals and work. Plus me getting an xbox 360 did not help matters at all.
Now on to the team. We finished third in the league, so we gained that all important CL spot. That’s all you can really ask for. Well, you could have asked for us to get that second and auto group stage spot but ohh well. It’s better to be in the CL qualifying rounds than not in it at all.

Sorry and some updates
By: Mike | Add Comments
Sorry about not posting in a week. I have just been swamped with school work and track. And pissed that I tore my hamstring sunday so that has not helped me want to post.
CL: I did not get a chance to watch the second game. But from what I have read it was a close encounter with yet again, only one goal. Thats about all any team can ask for against a team like Barça. And we are now second in the league. Thats pretty good.
Thats all for now, as this is the only 5 minutes I have that I can post tonight. Im sorry guys. I hope after next week I should be back to normal posting.
The Football gods do not like me

As the title says, the Football Gods do not like me. Or so it seems anyways. Here I am saturday, I get up and get ready to watch Schalke, as I am home and actually have the chance. But nooooooooooo, the said gods decided to only have the game online, and stream off of Bwin or whatever. Seeing as how I live in the grand ol’ US of A, I cannot use Bwin. So here I am, stealing the match review from the Schalke website again. But hey, at least we are in that third CL spot now!

Schalke04-2 1-Hertha BSC Berlin
By: Mike | 5 Comments
Copied right from the Schalke website. Told you I would not be able to post over spring break. But now that I am back and going home for a few days, I might be able to watch the game this weekend.
With their rivals dropping points elsewhere Schalke completed a successful Easter weekend by winning 2-1 at Hertha BSC Berlin to move within touching distance of a Champions League berth. The Royal Blues grabbed a vital three points despite being without several key players.
In addition to Ivan Rakitic, Gustavo Varela, Mladen Krstajic and Levan Kobiashvili, head coach Mirko Slomka also had to manage without Marcelo Bordon at the Olympic Stadium after the Brazilian was ruled out by a groin injury. Heiko Westermann and home-grown talent Benedikt Höwedes thus formed the central defensive pairing in what was a very young Schalke rearguard. But the Royal Blues displayed some clinical finishing in front of goal, racing into a 2-0 lead before the home side had had a chance to find their rhythm.

Just to let everyone know
By: Mike | 4 Comments
I just need to let everyone know that I might not be posting this weekend. This is my last week before spring break, so I have some midterms I will be needing to study for. I also am going to North Carolina this weekend for a track meet and will not be able to watch the game. I will try and get a preview up(not guaranteeing the upmost quality haha), but if I do not, I am sorry.
Plus one of my RA’s is a complete douche-twat-assfuck and got me in trouble tonight. So Im going to be pissed off for a few days.
alright, thats about it for now. Like I said, I will try and get something up for the game and if not, sorry.

(I just thought that this images was funny. Ohhh, and he scored a goal.)
Alright Im cheating as I did not get a chance to watch the game. I am pretty much just copying and pasting directly from Goal.com as Chris(roma one) has yet to give me some Bundesliga sites.
Schalke made hard work of overcoming relegation candidates MSV Duisburg at the Veltins Arena having to come from behind to seal the all-important three points. Bulgarian Blagoy(say that five times fast) Georgiev stunned the home crowd on 21 minutes with a very well taken goal. Schalke had the better possession and territory but were failed to make it count.
The second half however brought the reward for the home side’s efforts with goals from Kevin Kuranyi and Heiko Westermann.

Category: Schalke Team NewsHey Everyone

Hey Everyone. Thanks goes out to chris for setting me up with the page. Now a little info about me. My name is Mike and Im your typical 19 year old college student. I run on my colleges Track and Field team. I actually jump, both long and triple(45ft!!). If I cannot watch a game it is usually because of that, or it’s not on myp2p, or god hates me and is conspiring against me. You know what, it’s probably a combination of all three really. I also have a Mac and have to load up Bootcamp so that could also pose a problem.
Anyways, on a more serious note, Schalke and I. I’ll be the first to admit that Schalke is not my first team, AS Roma would occupy that spot. But Schalke definitely fills the #2 spot. They are kind of like that freshmen kid in high school who has spunk and stands up to seniors. or something along those lines, you get what Im saying(i hope). I really don’t know why I started watching them, just something about them that I like really. I just happened to be watching GolTv one time last year and watched the game. Im pretty sure that I saw Kuranyi totally own a defender. I try to watch the games whenever I can. Like I said above, it’s a combination of those four things above that usually stops me from seeing the games. So my apologies if I am not able to watch a game and review it. I’ll try my best to watch the games though. So if anyone has a site where i could download games that I miss, that would be pretty sweet.
Well Im going to go now, before I embarrass myself any more. Once again, thanks go out to chris for setting me up with the blog.
