| Months ago I promised to announce which Bundesliga team would bask in the glow of my adoration, and, loath as I am to run contrary to readers' opinions (you said I should support Bielefeld -- and they got close), I've decided to extend my love to FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04. And ever since I made the decision the bad news doesn't stop rolling in. Results from the second leg of the season have been like multiple stab wounds to the chest -- the most recent of which was the 4-3 loss to Wolfsburg last week. But now, even as the team works to reclaim its title as the "struggling also rans" and "perennial bridesmaids" of the Bundesliga, the Royal Blues are looking to plunge the knife into my back. Ollie Kahn? In Gelsenkirchen? Say it ain't so. Even though I don't doubt his qualification for the job (much) is looking at the one-time "King Kahn" really something Schalke execs have the nerve to ask their fans to stomach? Please, give me something to be happy about on Sunday in the match at home against Hamburg. I'd like to hope for a UEFA Cup spot, but part of me is already resigned to the fact that I've sworn allegiance to Schalke in a season that will go down as (another) one that leaves fans in tears. |
