They're at the beach and crawling through their teammates legs? What? Can someone please explain what exactly is going on at Schalke these days? First they take their team photo in a coal mine and now they've got Kevin Kuranyi playing sandbox games while half the squad gets repeated headbutts to the crotch as they stand around like human croquet wickets.

Big clubs rule the pages, which would have you believe at least half of this is 75% made up.

Tonight Schalke started the post-Rutten era with a 2-0 win at the Schüco Arena against relegation threatened Arminia Bielefeld. The first half started the same way most games had during Rutten's reign, dreadful and boring. In fact Arminia were the better side in the first half and missed four clear cut opportunities.

With over three goals per game the Bundesliga is currently enjoying it's highest scoring season in over twenty years. In fact it's probably more difficult to miss the goal, than to put the ball into the back of the net at the moment. But there is no task too small for Schalke's Kevin Kuranyi, who [..

Apoel Nikosia's Skevos Christou is stretchered off the pitch and receives a yellow card for his troubles.

Schalke's 3-3 draw with hated local rivals Borussia Dortmund this weekend was a Shakespearean affair in just about all the senses of that adjective.
