How the mighty have fallen

[kingn6]

Trying to put kids to sleep I was bored and started watching Bundesliga 2. Just realising how the might have fallen with both Hamburg ans Schalke slumming it in B2 for several seasons. Schalke are not even slumming it that well.

In the match I was watching Schalke were playing at home to Darmstadt (a team thst had yet to win this season). Schalke raise to 3-0 and are just waiting for the half time whistle to blow. They concede a stupid goal, fair enogu a 2 goal cushion should not be an issue to defend. No aschalke decide to conced another 4 in the 2nd half :-). Looking forward to seeing United in this state in a few years.

It happens. Huddersfield were the kings of English football back in the 1930s. Or Wolves in the 1950s. Spurs; double winners in 1961, couldn’t win an argument these days. Eras of dominance come to an end. Look at the dips; one league title in 34 years. Or our lovely neighbours; no title in 11 years. How many did they win in the previous 11? The decline can be slow and painful, we know all about that.

Yes, Sunderland won the title six times in the time it took united to win it twice and liverpool three times. These history clubs need to check their history.

I saw a post on Facebook earlier today about Portsmouth FC.
I never knew that they won Division One in consecutive seasons in 1948/9 and 49/50.
And have done virtually fuck all since then.
'Play up Pompey '

Schalke and Köln have really hit the buffers.

I honestly thought this was another thread on the Rags.
