Selke is allegedly willing to take a pay cut, but RB are asking 12 millions for him

Depends on the financial side of the transfer, i.e transfer fee and his wage requirements. Other than that, why would anyone resent him? Selke played with open cards, his transfer to RB was properly done, and we got quite a bit of money from the deal.

Started watching The Handmaid's Tale, an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel. Very well done, just as frightening and depressing as the book.

I meant politicians, du Nuss

Rumours say it's related to drug-trafficking.

Kruse got a text message from Jögi and is apparently "an option" for the Confed Cup.

The problem that those who seem to recognise current problems turn out to be proper mental cases. Haha @Tanksie, your government are paying Cambodia over 55 milllions to "resettle" a few refugees detained on Nauru. There have been six of them who agreed to move to Cambo, but four of them have already chosen to leave and go back to their home countries

How is Groningen doing?

Yes, and scored twice in Torwand

Santi Garcia has rejected our first offer for a new contract, and it looks more and more unlikely that he'll stay in the club. In better news, Baumann confirmed new contract talks with Nouri who is willing to stay

The Son keeps getting better and better, 4 episodes out now, good story, and Pierce Brosnan is quality. Also, American Gods premiere is next Sunday!

Prost!

I do listen to audio books sometimes, but the narrator has to be really great for me to be able to enjoy it, preferably the author himself. I have a lot of ebooks, but have trouble and don't really enjoy reading them, to be honest. It's just not the same.

Always reminds me of this:

ooooh I love the Triffids, one of the most underappreciated scifi novels of all time. The premise of mobile, flesh eating plants is very weird, but somehow it works, hehe. There's actually a sequel as well, albeit by a different author...

I think Goodfellas is a better movie, but I personally prefer Casino; there's more nuance, it's more aesthetically pleasing (I love the backdrop of Las Vegas) and if it somewhat lacks in script compared to Goodfellas, it certainly makes up for it in depth of characters and social dynamics. Also, I prefer more screen time with de Niro and Pesci, not a big fan of Liotta. Both are 10/10 for me though. Anyway, the last movie I watched: They Call Me Trinity (1970). A Terence Hill and Bud Spencer classic, brilliantly entertaining, unpretentious and funny spaghetti western parody with a lot of action, shootouts, brawls, silly cheap jokes and over the top characters. A cult movie. 8/10

Started watching The Son: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3839822/ It's a western drama following three generations of a family building an oil empire in Texas, starring Pierce Brosnan. Started out okay and looks quite promising. @Viva la FCB you might want to check this out.

Sounds good enough for me! I thought about decorating some eggs for Easter, but screw it, I will just have huevos rancheros for breakfast instead

What a weekend coming up, Khmer New Year celebrations start on Friday and will last for 3 days at least, then it's Easter on Sunday, as well as Nordderby. Hope the weather will play along and I can enjoy some beer and seefood at the beach... Have you got anything planned for Easter Sunday?

Have fun! I'll drink to that

Happy birthday Thomas! Are we having a party?

Haha, I love Garcia, but he's been dropped for a reason. Once Augustinsson arrives, Garcia will surely be second choice behind him. If he extends his contract in the first place, that is. Bauer is a beast, even when he plays out of position, and he still has sooo much potential. Wouldn't be surprised to see him getting a call up to the NT in the future.

Except Bauer, he's been great and much better than García!

Luca Caldirola out for the rest of the season with a broken foot Sané, Caldirola, Bauer, Delaney, Bargfrede, Fritz, Gnabry, Hajrovic - all injured at the moment, although there's hoping that Sané and Gnabry will be fit for the HSV match next week. Bargfrede could be an option too.

I haven't actually seen The Magnificent Seven yet, although I intended to. Will have to give it a go, as I enjoyed the original one. Now with rainy season starting, I will have a lot of time for movies anyway Oh and yes, I completely agree when it comes to 3:10 to Yuma, haha! Good remake, terrible ending. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is still probably my most favourite modern western, although it's certainly a bit different. Have you seen Meek's Cutoff, by any chance? I was meaning to watch it years ago when it was released, but never did, for some reason, although it looks very interesting at a first glance. I would love to see more remakes of the classic western in the future, Winchester '73 or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid would probably be my top choices. Somewhat related, Deadwood the movie should come out next year! Lee van Cleef is great, both as a "hero" and as a villain. After Clint Eastwood, he's surely my most favourite when it comes to western actors, but then there are so many others who were all so fucking great...
