  1. i don't think you have to worry much about it .. even if Chelsea still has concrete chances to go to the final they have very little possibilities both vs Real and vs Bayern for me
  2. nice invasion of the pitch hehe

  3. Originally posted by MacStripey:the news are just out, and the man said it himself:

    Raùl is going to leave Schalke by the end of this season. This is -

    just one more home game with the Senor. Just one. I never cared about one single player in particular, but in this case I do.

    I ust heard it too. So sad for you right now...

    Well, enjoy him while you can, and just try to remember the great years he's spent with you all
  4. So the press conference of Schalke is over. Raul said reasons to leave were for family,not money. He didn't say yet where he'll go,still planning.
    He thanked the Schalke fans in particular for the love and respect towards him.

    Raul will get a farewell game in 2013.

    The no. 7 jersey won't be given to another S04 player in the future, in honor of Raul.

    Raul will be suggested to be voted into the Schalke Hall of Honor.

    You might get an idea what this extraordinary player and honorable gentleman means to us fans. When he walks his last round after next week's final home game vs Berlin, there will be many tears.
  5. "The no. 7 jersey won't be given to another S04 player in the future, in honor of Raul."

    Really? I thought only dead players got that honour...
  6. don't tell that to Maradona for example hehe

    Ajax doesnt play with number 14 anymore,because of Cruijff and he is still alive

    But, although I really love Raul, isnt it a bit excessive to not use a number anymore for a player who ''only'' played 2 season at a club?
  9. Wow That's really... deep and meaningful. I knew he loved Schalke and Schalked loved him, but I didn't know it reached to that extent!

    I think it's not about how long he has played for S04, but the way he did it, the way he behaved on and off the field. We had others playing over a decade for the club but who would never ever get this "honor". Several things play part in such a decision, not just the years they were part of the team.

    that being said, I've only quoted what they said at the press conference, it's not my personal opinion

    I know, but since I dont really follow it that much I really didnt know he was so popular. I still have a Real Madrid shirt here with number 7 Raul here just to prove that is one of my favorite players

    By the way, Ronnie since your a Inter fan, will they let Chivu go after this season? And is he still good enough ?
