Basically a place for anything related to German football that doesn't fit in any existing thread and doesn't warrant a new one... Came across this stats overview thread on twitter today and though it's quite interesting:

I love it in principle but it's not very good for my health

We're about to sign Leonardo Bittencourt Used to be one of the players I loved to watch when he was still at Köln, we wanted him last year already but he chose Hoffenheim... It looks like the deal is as good as done now. Love it how it's another attacking player who needs defending anyway.

I assume you gave him some tips?

Where to in Thailand?

From my experience Asian TV shows and movies can be very hit & miss; some great stuff there but also a huge amount of cheesy overly dramatic ones that are just as insufferable as Mexican soap operas haha. This one looks good though... Thanks for sharing. Will give it a go; I see it's available on Viki too; that's where I watch most of my East Asian movies.

Plenty of time to become one

Better story in 7 minutes than both Star Wars sequels together. Amazing work.

I actually got a reply "Gerne" (with pleasure) to that too so that was quite hilarious To be fair as things turned out he was indeed doing the riding part a few months later anyway so I suppose that was more of a Freudian slip than a typing error

To be fair my worst was probably typing "reite mich" (ride me) instead of "rette mich" (rescue me)

Haha most definitely the worst autocorrect that ever happened to me. I feel violated and need to puke.

Haha give it a go; I've read reviews of people who enjoyed it...

Lang deal is officially done! A one-year loan with an option to buy. Perfect really; if he does well we can always make the deal permanent but this gives us freedom to look for a young talent to be Gebre Selassie's replacement for the future.

Doubt we'll sign any more defenders; we already spent around 15 million this summer (including Lang) and if we don't manage to get Bentaleb from Schalke I don't think we will sign anyone else before the window closes.

Full 2020 race calendar has been released. 22 races; Hoffenheim is gone

So SpaceX has successfully complete the final Starhopper test flight yesterday where the prototype launch vehicle lifted 150m into the air, moved sideways and then gently put itself back down onto the ground. One step closer to a manned Mars flight. Beautiful capture: Also an image showing the actual size of the vehicle: More details: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2019/08/faa-spacexs-starhopper-hop/

We're apparently looking into signing Gladbach's Michael Lang. Wouldn't be the worst of transfers; a reliable right back who can also help out in CB or even in LB if need be. Not the most spectacular one but I don't think we're in a position to complain at this point.

They pretty much applied the X-Wing design to a car; very clever

Bingo! Nah FIA banned it in time before qualifying at Monaco

Still better than this one: Bonus points for naming the driver.

The Kid (2019) A western about Billy the Kid with Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio; the trailer was decent so I thought it would be enjoyable enough. Turned out to be way too slow paced and, frankly, just plain boring- and that's coming from someone who enjoys both Westerns AND slow build up normally. Meh. Waste of time. 5/10

MRT screening confirmed Toprak's muscle and tendon injury; he'll be out for about 6 weeks. It's getting ridiculous.

Oh I can definitely relate to that haha. Astronaut sounds cool but these days I would prefer working on the technical side of things if I had a chance...
