Schalke won 2-1 at Hertha Berlin tonight. Pukki with a sweet strike for the winner. Huntelaar got the opener, that's 14 goals in 15 league games for him. Hertha had a mini break in the last minute when lasogga stormed through the middle, rode a challenge and was about to enter the box when he was tripped, buuuuut the ref had dropped his whistle and was looking on the ground for it instead of watching play so missed the foul.

Does that make Huntelaar top scorer in Germany?

The ex-Spain, Barcelona and Middlesbrough ace was once the most expensive footballer in the world, costing Italian giants Lazio a whopping £29m.
Mendieta became a firm favourite with Boro fans, starring in a famous 4-1 victory over Manchester United, and to this day lives in Yarm on Teesside.

Chelsea have confirmed that André Villas-Boas has asked his players to involve him in goal celebrations.
The Portuguese manager made the request at a recent team meeting and a Chelsea spokesman told the Sun: "The manager has asked the players to look across and recognise him and his staff on the bench after a goal.
"He believes that by celebrating together it shows we are all in it together. That's the players, the manager, the subs, the staff, the medical people – everyone working and celebrating together."

Villas-Boas suggested his team's start to the season – they have taken 28 points from 14 games – had been made to look inadequate by the leaders' excellence. In support of his argument, he produced a laminated chart that compared his side's points tally with those achieved in the past few years."Chelsea, at the moment, have the same points as the champions last year and the same points as the champions three years ago," he said. "And they have two points less than the champions four years ago."

2pts a game is good enough for top 4, not good enough to win the league. AVB should stop frontin'. Also WTF with manager's press conferences turning into powerpoint presentations, first Dalglish with his 'poor lil luiz' dvd, now this. Have some fucking dignity.

AVB should be grateful he only has to deal with G Nev, he could be dealing with Andy Gray and his 'last fucking word', a whole other level of idiocy.

'laminated' is a beautiful detail here, it looks so much crazier (I laminate things with sellotape, sometimes)

there's a defender in there somewhere apparently. I'm guessing it's Evra, he's eaten him and left a poor copy in his place.

Sam Sheringham reports: "The Specials were at number one in the pop charts the last time Wolves beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in February 1980. Mick McCarthy's men certainly need a special performance to get something today against the wounded Reds.

not that i'm expecting much from this afternoon, especially with Fergie in a savage mood following the CL exit. given Utd's defensive issues i'd say the best thing wd be to go out and have a go, it's not like we've been defending anyway. so i assume mick will field some kind of 6-4-0 set-up with 9 Karl Henry clones he's had made specially.
