    Its the same if Feyenoord will dissapear (although I dont hate them) you need exciting games in a lower league like the Dutch and Scottish one.

    They are liquidated in their current form but there will still be a 'Rangers' of sorts. At worst, they will be back in the Premier League in 3 seasons. At best - they will be voted straight back in and be in the same league next season. Not a bad deal for them given what they have done.

    And to answer any potential questions - yes I am a Celtic supporter, I have a season ticket and I am revelling in their plight.
  2. Juan Sebastián Verón has called it a day, playing his final game for Estudiantes whilst Gabriel Milito plays his final game for Independiente. Two players I'm sure Pato will know all too well. Verón obviously played for some of the supported clubs here, Man Utd and Inter as well as other high profile clubs like Lazio and Chelsea. Milito on the other hand spent most of his career in Spain with spells at both Zaragoza and Barcelona. The shame with Milito is that he is only 31, his older brother Diego is still going strong in Serie A.

    Obviously I have more of an interest in Verón, didn't have a great spell at United but no-one can deny that he was a talented player and at times, although few and far between, he showed exactly what he was capable of.

    Tim :

    Both still can play here in Argentina but lot of injuries stop their carreers now. Verón made a great effort by his club resigned and invested money for your club to improve and he did win titles and playing a World Cup final against Barcelona clubs (lost narrowly) , here is very respected and in Estudiantes is a full idol ....
    And Milito has a really sad history .... he is 31 , a year ago was in Barcelona winning titles , then went back to his first club Independiente - where he is loved- .But his knee and others injuries bothered him much and he say stop . In Argentina ´s level he could play 5 years more ...



  4. right now is the final for the German championship of the u19 / A Juniors going on. Schalke 04 vs Bayern Munich (click for livestream)
    Since the Bundesliga team of S04 hasn't won the German championship since 1958 (:| ), all we royalblues are keeping our fingers crossed for the professionals of tomorrow. Olé
  5. Good luck to them, there's always something satisfying about watching the youth team play and spotting the future stars.

    1958? Your time will come again soon

    haha, you wish it's almost part of S04 tradition by now that our team never makes it to the title... second place, sure, even first during the season, but in the end we always fail but there is hope, right - I just hope it will happen within this century so I'll have a chance to witness this, lol

    btw, the S04 youth just won the title, have beaten Bayern with 2:1
    Incredible experience to watch an S04 team celebrate the German championship.... feels surreal, haha
  7. First two matches of all groups predictions processed What a work


  8. must have cost you hours and hours of your time

    I totally fail so far (as usually), but some of the matches I just couldn't imagine to end the way they did in the end
  9. Hmm...what a surprise, Remy processes and Remy is top You should process them on a daily basis, there's only two games a day. If you need a hand, just shout.

    CONGRATULATIONS, K So glad for you and for them Beating Borussia would have been more epic because of your legendary rivalry, but beating Bayern is even better because they're the best team of your country, and beating their juniors is like saying "Hey, everyone, here's Schalke 04 for you all! Suck this!!" hahaha
