I think the simple explanation is that almost all of Germany is so bored of Bayern's dominance that it got to the point where even some Schalke and Bayern supporters would prefer Dortmund winning the league to Bayern winning it one more time.

Fair enough, I suppose I have to take this on the chin. I do still feel emotionally attached to the Bundesliga. :lol:

It's been quite amazing to see how one relatively harmless tweet by Dortmund's social media department has triggered so much anger over the past year. I truly hope this comeback of their social media department will give closure to all United fans.

I think his main point is that Dortmund have made great progress financially. Dortmund has gone from the brink of bancruptcy in 2005, to being debt free with a large amount of savings and a greatly increased turnover. That is the main reason they are harder to bully, because they don't depend on...

Honestly, you are making a fool of yourself. There was some banter aimed at Liverpool: Followed by a decent comeback aimed back at United, mirroring the structure of the original post: And then you ride in on your high horse, accusing someone of racism, because he made a connection between...

Thats a fair assessment, he can be a real weapon at corners and set pieces too, with his heading ability. He is defensivly strong most of the time, but prone to the occasional stupid error and his build up play is not top notch, but decent. I also think he can still improve in both regards. I...

I don't get the abuse johnny boy is getting, for not considering Rashford, "one of the best young players in the world". You don't have to be 18, in oder to be a young player, in fact to be considered one of the best young players, you should have been around for a little, to prove that you...

Schalke looked completely shit against Frankfurt, but since the addition of Bentaleb and Stambouli in midfield played pretty well against Bayern and Nice. The performance today wasn't that bad either, they were on par with Hertha for most of the game, but two mistakes by Stambouli and Bentaleb...

Oh well, maybe there is hope for Geis after all. Stambouli and Bentaleb giving away the ball way too easy and it's 2:0 Hertha. They do counter very well and defend well as a unit. What a rough start to Schalke's Bundesliga season.

There were no news about him being injured, against Nice Weinzierl already chose Kolasinac over Geis, to see out the game. It is incredible how quickly he went off the radar, but Bentaleb and Stambouli are playing so well, that it is going to be a very difficult season for Geis. They bring the...

I bet he hates looking in the mearror now.

I am not so convinced that this move comes too soon for him, it might just be the perfect timing. I don't know how much good another season at Schalke would have done him. I believe it will be better for his development, to get out of his comfort zone, play with the likes of Aguero, Silva and De...

He is just incredibly talented, a real joy to watch. He is extremely fast, has great technique and a strong drive for goal. At times last season he looked head and shoulders above any other player on Schalkes team. Then again he is still inconsistent, sometimes when he failed to beat his man a...

Dortmund signed Sebastian Rode from Bayern for ~15 Mio Euro shortly after the Hummels transfer.
