It would be nice if he takes the Champions League to cap off his Dortmund days. I would like to see him back at Gladbach, but perhaps the USA is more likely.

Congrats! Tremendous season.

Congrats, Rucksackfranzose!

Are you going to this world class chess tournament in Düsseldorf, Tommy? WR Chess Masters / 15-26 Feb / Dusseldorf (wr-chess.com)

Do people feel enthusiastic about the coming season? I must admit I have lost much of my passion for the game in the last years. Covid did not help. I will try to follow Bundesliga and European football a bit more again though, and see if I can muster some interest.

Happy birthday, captain my captain.

Happy birthday nudgey.

Congrats Padre. May you live long and prosper.

That does sound very interesting to me I understand Python has some useful packages for AI/ML. I really want to get some handle on what these topics are about, it all seems very intriguing, but for now classical scientific computing is more than enough to handle. If you ever need a quick intro to the basics (for instance I think the good old optimization methods are abundant also in machine learning) these videos are recommended: https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/scientific-computing-dphil-students

I have got a bit of a sore throat, so I think I try to avoid people as much as possible. I often have that in the winter, but I guess one must be on the safe side. The plan was to visit my parents for Easter, but my father does not have much of an immune system due to chemotherapy, and is not a young man either, so I am very unsure what I should do there. I hope my doctor will have some conclusive advice. There is no excuse for not cleaning the apartment, and the chance of getting a lot of reading done should be good. Are you studying something interesting?

So, do you beautiful, though cynical and dark hearted, experts, think anyone can challenge Bayern for the title this year? Who would be more likely? RB, BVB, Gladbach, someone else?

Mylady, I hope it is not out of place to offer my sincere wishes for your happy birthday. If I have overstepped, I humbly beg you to forgive me.

I am sure you would make a very interesting Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt.

Be careful at the airports. The police are on the watch for females entering from south-east Asia. Something about threats towards the DFB.

I am tipsy. Hi!

Yes. I watched the game and could not see it from the replay, so I thought he must have said something. but I read just know that he spat at him. The reaction of Havertz and the ref immidiately running to him with the red in his hand it makes absolutely sense with that piece of information. Ascacibar seemed out of control. I cannot imagine Havertz is the most provocative guy on the field either. Exept that that the effortless way he plays would be pretty exasperating.

Ackacibar not impressing by spitting at Havertz today.

Happy birthday o captain our captain!

Quite a a video. I imagine the song is much better with the film than without. I wonder what everyone's favorite facist Leverkusen fan would have made of it. Anyway people ought to be more provoked by people making cheap feely melodramas with WW2 as a background to ad emotion and earn more money.

Length is not an indicator for the quality of a conversation... Something to say to your wife!

Thanks, I will check it out. I am planning to watch your game tomorrow. Should be a good one.

Thank you for the reply. I also hope it works out for you guys.

nudge: do you still think that Kohlfeldt will prove to have been be given the the big job to early like Nouri and Skripnik, or is his success of the more sustainable sort?

Knowing history is important. But specific family ties to atrocities discussed openly, I believe is not. And i think it illusory that there would be no element of pride or shame involved concerning your family. If one has an interest in one's own grandfather's story is a totally different issue, and should be up to the individual

My country did have a lot of Nazis during the war, and afterwards their children were bullied extremely harshly. Those children were of my parents generation, and to me the idea of burdening young men with the actions of their family is a low thing to do. If the media or anyone else knows of players with family ties to e.g war criminals they should keep quiet about it.
