Hello world champions.

I'm here to follow Mainz 05 because now Junior Diaz is cool and good.

I have officially set up alerts in fotmob and will watch whenever I can (so whenever they play Bayern probably because Bayern is mostly all the bundesliga they show around here).

enjoy the Bundesliga, buddy :respek:

Probate me for a week if Köln beats Leverkusen in any game this season.

Probate me for two weeks if they beat us twice.

Probate me for a month if they finish the season ahead of us.

Summer break is over, football is back! It's only the 3.Liga and you lot probably don't give a poo poo, but there are some more prolific teams battling for promotion including Osnabrück, Cottbus, Bielefeld, Dresden. They are however up against such crowd magnets as some Bundesliga second teams and the mighty SG Sonnenhof Großaspach.

I am sort of hosed since I can't go to matches any more and nobody bothers to show them on tv as far as I know, so it'll probably be a season spent in front of the liveticker. :toot:

WDR, MDR, BR and NDR show some live games, and highlights of most of the others; Sportschau shows highlights of one or two games each week as well. I'm super hype for 3. Liga because Fortuna Köln got promoted and I like my local teams, even 1. FC Köln to an extend (as long as they're worse than us and we beat them I'm cool w/ the Ziegen).

Coincidentally, this will also be the date when the Bundesliga Kicktipp will be reset. Same rules as every year (Liga, Pokal, German UEFA games), but we're going to skip the first day of DFB-Pokal games again unless enough people are strongly opposed to it.

We can always use another CB and the consensus in our fanbase seems to be that Papadopoulos, if he gets back into shape, would fit perfectly with Toprak into the center of our defense. While I do agree with that, I personally think Spahic and Wollscheid are more than fit to rotate next to Toprak, so the transfer puzzles me as well. However, pert of the reason why we always "invariably crumble" toward the end of the season is that we never seem to have more than 16 Bundesliga-capable players in our squad and fatigue eventually sets in, so I'm all for adding some depth to the roster. If it works out, all the better.

Also, we didn't sell any defenders, we actually bought some! 3 including Papadopoulos (the others are Wendell as LB and Kedvaj as CB). So I guess we have 5 CBs now?

Toxx time is over, so here's A POST OF :toxx:ES (just quote this into the OP, Frankenfreak)

FC BAYERN
Healbot: Probate me for eleven years for a week if Bayern don't win the league (you read that right).
Smirr: Probate me for 6 hours if Bayern don't win the Schale.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND
MuLepton: Probate me for one week each time Dortmund beats Bayern plus one additional day for each goal they score more in that match.

FC SCHALKE
Myron: Probate me for 2 weeks if Schalke doesn't get rid of Keller. (If he goes back to being youth coach, that also counts as getting rid of him.)

BAYER LEVERKUSEN
bignose: Probate me for a week if Leverkusen beats Köln at the RheinEnergie Stadion.

Katana Gomai: Probate me for a week if Köln beats Leverkusen in any game this season.
Probate me for two weeks if they beat us twice.
Probate me for a month if they finish the season ahead of us.

General Probe: Probate me one day for every -1 GD Leverkusen finishes with in Europe this season.
Probate me for one week if they fail to finish top four this season.
Probate me for three weeks if they get no CL/EL spot.
Ban me if they are relegated, but that's not going to happen.

FC AUGSBURG
Honj Steak: Ban me if Augsburg gets relegated.

VFB STUTTGART
bignose: Probate me for a month if Stuttgart fires Veh during the season.

HERTHA BSC
Smirr: probate me for a month if Hertha get relegated.
Ban me if they play in the EL or CL next season (unless it's by that fair play poo poo again).
Permaban me if they win the league.

WERDER BREMEN
scourgeofthe7bees: For the point difference between Werder and first-place team, multiply that number by 12 and probate me for that many hours.
If this number is 0, that means Werder have won the league at which point I would like a custom title of "WERDER PLASTIC - MILLIARDEN JAHRE GRÜN-WEIß" (I don't think it works that way - KG.)

HAMBURGER SV
Frungy!: Please ban me if HSV gets relegated.

azathosk: I'll jump on the toxx train as well. Probate me for a week if HSV does NOT sack Mirko Slomka before January.

1. FC KÖLN
Gold and a Pager: probate me for a month if 1. FC Koeln get relegated and/or for one week if Fortuna Duesseldorf get promoted.

1. FC NÜRNBERG
frankenfreak: gently caress it, I'll toxx as well. Taking my inspiration from Katana Gomai, probate me for one week every time Greuther beat us and ban me if they finish the season ahead of us.

nippythefish: Nürnberg advances to 1.Bundesliga at the conclusion of the season. I'll take a ban if this doesn't happen.

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI (lol)

For now it only consists of the Bundesligatipps as well as the DFB-Pokal (starting in the 2nd round). The German UEFA games will be added as soon as the group stages have been drawn. The only rule change this season is that I changed the deadline from 5 minutes to one minute prior to kickoff.

Apparently Dortmund is going to (needlessly) sell more of their club shares in order to earn some 110m (gauged by today's stock quote so it'll probably end up being less). BVB fans seem to be psyched by this, personally I wonder whether they realize the amount of shares in a club is finite so basically BVB are selling themselves for a quick buck. Signal Iduna and Puma each want to pick up ~5% it seems. I wonder what percentage of shares will still be owned by the club itself after all this is done.

I always do a big lol when I remember Keller is their coach and he's way out of his depth.

Horst Heldt was on Sky before the game and the entire situation is so bizzare. Basically the interviewer asked him if he's aware that Keller is already being criticized constantly (not that he ever really wasn't) and Heldt just refused to acknowledge it. The next question then was how long he thinks it'll take for Schalke supporters to turn on Keller again and he once again claimed that the only people criticizing Keller are/were "outsiders" and the management/supporters will not turn on Keller.

Yea right.
