Ground floor. You missed the "2013/14" bit in the title but I don't think it matters much. Also you didn't copy the BB code from my Leverkusen bit (just quote my original post, it'll show up) so it's missing some formating.

So, are we going to do a manager game this season?

re:Managers, I'm looking at the Kicker ones and I think the Interactive one would suit us best. The Pro version seems a bit too dependant on having 18 teams in your league and I am pretty sure we can't fill that. Does someone want to take over starting a Kicker Interactive league? I'm running the Kicktipp again this season.

Is there a kicktipp league for this season yet?

The kicktipp is still under https://www.kicktipp.de/goons, I just restarted it to 2013/14. Feel free to enter your tipps, I set it so that everyone who was signed up last year is still registered. Actually add the Kicktipp to the OP, and the Kicker thing once it opens next week and Dunban has set it up.

I picked HSV semi-randomly as my Bundesliga team to plastic for a few years ago, but now I'm really turned off by the politics (right-wing) of some of their ultras.

Do all HSV fans have a reputation for that?

The proud Sportvereins of Hamburg are not more or less racist than other (non-east German) clubs so you're good.

Also Kießling is the best Striker, deal with it.

Yesterday, Stuttgart's fans voted for switching back to the team's old crest, effective immediately.



Honestly, the new one (left) looks better and they're paying 300,000€ for this. Their choice I guess.

Aww, you guys! :allears: (They're correct)

*edit: While we're at it, Kießling just extended his contract until 2017. I didn't expect him to leave despite the good offers he got, but I'm glad Leverkusen realized how important he is to both the team and the fans and decided to compensate him accordingly.

Meh, who gives a poo poo. Two gifts and one offside goal plus us missing Neuer, Ribery, Götze and Martinez, in addition to Schweini and Dante not at peak condition.

It's a pointless mickey mouse cup but it was the first game this season which counted for something and you conceeded four goals. I do agree that's after winning next weeks cup match you'll dominate the league just like last year though; in a way, losing like this today was probably A Very Good Thing.

Leverkusen vs. Freiburg, 10.08.2013, 15:30. Your friend should be able to order tickets through the website (bayer04.de), which are super cheap and frankly, you could do much worse than this game. Tickets also cover (part of) the train fare, you'll only have to buy a ticket to Langenfeld (basically you're in the VRR, Leverkusen tickets cover the VRS. Ask your friend what that means. :v:) Just as an example, the RE train from Essen to Leverkusen takes, like, 35 minutes. I don't know where exactly you're located, but even Dortmund to Leverkusen is just an hour.

So we just sold Emre Can to Leverkusen. For some reason it's not a loan deal, instead his contract has a buy back clause installed.

I saw Kicker posting about this yesterday but guess it has just been finalized. As for why it's not a loan, I guess Bayern just don't think he has the potential to matter in the long run. They can buy him back if he turns out to be a hit, but otherwise he's our problem. Personally, I don't really see why we needed to buy him in the first place; I don't think he is good enough to play significant minutes and God knows we buy enough loving Perspektivspieler already. I think Bayern made the better deal here.

DFB-Pokalorama continues today, and after football managed to escape murder yesterday, we have a slew of games to watch:

15:30
Sportfreunde Baumberg - FC Ingolstadt 04
SG Aumund-Vegesack - 1899 Hoffenheim
Neckarsulmer Sport-Union - 1. FC Kaiserslautern
SV Lippstadt 08 - Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Fortuna Köln - 1. FSV Mainz 05
TSG Neustrelitz - Sport-Club Freiburg
1.FC Magdeburg - FC Energie Cottbus
SV Wilhelmshaven - Borussia Dortmund
Bahlinger SC - VfL Bochum 1848

18:00
TSV 1860 Rosenheim - VfR Aalen

20:30
SV Eintracht Trier - 1. FC Köln
Karlsruher SC - VfL Wolfsburg

Who will be the scrappy underdog to defeat the seasoned Bundesligist this year? SV Wilhelmshaven supposedly switched their jersey numbers around in their last practice so as to mess up Dortmund's scouting, advanced tactics ITT.

Bayern fans (not plastics), how much truth is there to this article? http://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/fanszene-beim-fc-bayern-vorbild-barcelona-1.1737896 From an outside perspective, I think it does make more sense to keep 300 tickets per game on hold and raffle them out so everyone gets a chance to see the team, at least ideally.
