Rucksackfranzose

@Michael You're rating the players much too much according whom they played for previous so you rated Lasme better than Schnellbacher for having played in Sochaux, although he's amazed a whopping 4 goals for Schalke since 2023,while Schnellbsachert shot more than double , 11, in the same time. What clubs players have played for is irreleveant, anyhow: Rensing wasn't anywhere near world class just because he was at Bayern from 2000 to 2010. Also you're mentioning Hojlund was playing for Copenhagen, yet conveniently overlook he played only with their youth and made a whopping 1 (in words one) appearance for their first team, if he was that good, why didn't he make the cut from U19 Drenge Ligaen to Superliga? Back to your logic: Stefan Kießling must have been he better forward than Miro Klose during the time both were active than, since Kießling played for Nürnberg's youth as well as Germany U20 and U21 national teams, while Klose only has played for SG Blaubach-Diedelkopf and Homburg until he joined Lautern in 1999.

They are always the player, who predicts Bayern would win their game by a larger margin than all we others, this time it's paid out. Viva correct Bremen 0-5 Bayern call is prediction of the matchday. Matchday 4 1) Rucksackfranzose 13 points 2) CaaC(John) 11 points 3) Bluewolf 7 points 3) nudge 7 points 3) Viva la FCB 7 points 6) Michael 6 points 6) Stan 6 points 8- 6666 5 points 8- nawoo 5 points 8- Tommy 5 points Whopping 4 players are trailing our new leader by only 2 points. Table after 4 matchdays 1) Rucksackfranzose 33 points 2) @nawoo 31 points 2) @nudge 31 points 2) @Stan 31 points 2) @Tommy 31 points 6) @Michael 29 points 7) @Viva la FCB 28 points 8- @6666 24 points 9) @Bluewolf 23 points 10) @CaaC (John) 21 points 11) @Coma 15 points

These scores aren't impressive. Matchday 6 1) CaaC(John) 7 points 2) Stan 6 points 3) Viva la FCB 4 points 4) Tommy 3 points 5) Bluewolf 2 points 6) Michael 1 point 6) nawoo 1 point 6) nudge 1 point 6) Rucksackfranzose 1 point Although he scored only 2 points himself Bluewolf isn't only the sole leader but also extended his advantage over shared 3rd spot. lol Table after 6 matchdays 1) @Bluewolf 43 points 2) @nudge 42 points 3) @Michael 39 points 3) @nawoo 39 points 5) @CaaC (John) 37 points 6) @Stan 34 points 7) @Tommy 33 points 8- @Viva la FCB 32 points 9) Rucksackfranzose 30 points 10) @Coma 23 points

At the bolded part: That's not unique, to be fair. Every politician that bases his followship on so called charism is to some extent

Okay then, name a Schalke forward better than Luca Schnellbacher! And be so kind to point out, why Justin Heekeren is better than Nicolas Kristof!

And I firmly disagree! But let's stop at this point, feel this debate leads to nothing.

At the bolded part: I didn't ,said they were the same ilk, while you said Schalke were most definetly superior. As for the table standings, have a look at the final table last season Schalke finished on 10th spot with 43 points, while Elversberg finished on 11 th spot with 43 points, so they deciding factor was GD. How does this support your thesis from Schalke being "most definetly" superior than Elversberg? Or is the end of a season alse early to read something into the table standings?

Matches played from 27th to 29th of Sep: Fürth - Düsseldorf Ulm - Braunschweig Darmstadt - Magdeburg Hamburg - Paderborn Regensburg - Lautern Münster - Schalke Köln - Karlsruhe Hannover - Nürnberg Hertha BSC - Elversberg

Matches played from 27th to 29th of Sep: Dortmund - Bochum Leipzig - Augsburg Freiburg - St Pauli Wolfsburg - Stuttgart Mainz - Heidenheim Gladbach - Union Bayern - Leverkusen Kiel - Frankfurt Hoffenheim - Bremen

First sacking of that season happened. Geraerts ain't Schalke manager anymore.

Schalke destroyed Braunschweig correct, still you forgot to mention Braunschweig got the great total of 1 point and a goal difference of -12 in 5 matches, as well as losing 1-4 at home in their cup match. Do you really think that win indicates anything other than Braunschweig having an abysmal start to the season? Well plyed 6 matches, threee against top half three against lower half teams, out of this Schalke won 1 match against a bottom half team and lost both the others, since they amazed 4 points they lost 2 and drew 1 of their matches against top half opponents, and that against Magdeburg, who will finish the season in the bottom in my honest opinion, while Elversberg played 5 matches 4 of them against top half teams of which they lost 1, and 1 against a bottom half team, Darmstadt at home, which they won 4-0. So although Elversberg played less matches in total and more matches against top half teams they managed to amaze more points than Schalke. Both teams played already 4 opponents the other team played as well . The results were: Elversberg 4-0 Darmstadt, Schalke 3-5 Darmstadt; Magdeburg 0-0 Elversberg, Schalke 2-2 Magdeburg; Karlsruhe 3-2 Elversberg, Karlsruhe 2-0 Schalke; Elversberg 2-2 Köln, and Schalke 1-3 Köln. Yea, have to admit the reality supports your thesis of Schalke being most definetly better than Elversberg immensly.

Doesn't matter, we can even go back to the 16th century and the percentage of murdered persons in a society stays pretty constant.

At the bolded part: Really? Are you serious? I'd rather say their squad is bang average for 2.Liga, at best. Much worse than Köln, Paderborn, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, and even Hertha BSC. More of the same ilk as Lautern, Fürth, Nürnberg, or Elversberg.

As someone with more life experience it absolutely isn't. Why do you think Speaker's Corner has been a thing for such a long time?

Good ! Here's hope Augsburg end up, where they belong, in Liga 2 together with the some Hannover. of all these other investor clubs, like Hertha BSC, Hamburg, Lautern, and Hannover.

Can't watch that match, Schalke are amazing, though. Which other team manage to bottle a 3-0 lead? They led 3-0 til deep into first half's injury, now they're 3-4 down.

Well, that's also a question of media-induced hysteria. When my parents were children, Germany in the 4ties shortly after WWII, there were more than a handful villages in Saarland, where it would have been a welcome surprise, if not at least 5 people would have been stabbed to death during fair weekend, nobody batted an eyelid. Nowadays it makes the headlines, if there's a stabbing, even in nobody dies.

It's always been that way. People were never less opionated or more accepting other opinions than today. Only difference is the world wide web made it much easier to make your opinion known to a wider public and to publisize disagreement with other opinions than it was during my childhood and youth..

Interesting and arrogant take given neither Man Utd nor Newcastle belonged to the best 24 teams last season.
