Schalke and Energie Cottbus matches last year were completely “night and day” with both clubs winning at home. Lausitzer were not very friendly winning 1-0 at Stadion der Freundschaft but in May Schalke demolished them 5-0 with Kevin Kurányi netting the final four goals.

Schalke answered Fred Rutten’s call to arms with a definitive 3-0 defeat of Karlsruher SC. The victory ends a twelve year win-less streak at Wildparkstadion and keeps Schalke four points behind first-place Bayer Leverkusen (who coincidently maintained the Werder Bremen “new blogger curse”).

Left out of their normal lineup from my notes were Claude Makélélé, Guillaume Hoarau, Stéphane Sessegnon, Ceará, Zoumana Camara and [...]
