Rumours at the beginning of the season said that this would be Zanetti's final season anyway.

Dortmund's Geschäftsführer Hans-Joachim Watzke have just denied the De Bruyne rumours.

Vampires => Zombies =>??

I reckon it's going to be aliens next.

Story of a 17 year old boy who stumbles across a crashed spacechip and has his DNA infused with the millenia old genetic code of the dying spaceship pilot, making him the only person who can carry on the ancient bloodline that will prevent the destruction of the galaxy.

\Something like that.

Sounds fairly similar to Taken.

Write a book about Indians vs Vikings.

That's probably the next bandwagon when zombies/Game of Thrones fizzle out.

There's actually a historical basis for a story like that

I'm aware of this. But you'd never say "Just watched The Departed. William Monahan makes really good films.

Having said that, I actually didn't like Good Will Hunting very much.

I know screenwriters don't typically get the credit for films, but given the kind of involvement they had in GWH that film is probably just as much Matt Damon's and Ben Affleck's as it is Gus van Zandt's.

I think it is a very sweet film with a nice feel-good story (and I know you hate those kinds of films), like, it's not the greatest film ever made but I really enjoyed it.

Good Will Hunting was co-written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Seriously, have those officials behind the goal any power whatsoever? Are they supposed to just stand there or are they there to aid the referee? They don't do jack shit. I think I've seen them one decision, in the Lazio-Spurs game, I'm not too sure though.

They are not meant to show any visible signals. They communicate directly with the referee by headset.

Regarding Draxler. - Is it really that unthinkable to move from Schalke to Dortmund?

It's the biggest rivalry there is in Germany. There is absolutely no chance of someone like Draxler making that transfer.

Course they do.

Sure, many do, but in comparison to other demographic groups young men are the worst readers you can find.

Men aged 18-35 don't really read books. If there is one fundamental issue with what you've written, that's going to be it.

2006 featured the (on paper at least) worst Swedish World Championship team that I can remember and that team won the gold.

The 2011 team that lost in the final was also poor on paper, the general trend with Tre Kronor is that they suck when they are expected to have success and find success when everyone expects them to suck.

Yes. The final is in Stockholm.

The potential Swedish team this year looks pretty awful on paper, which means we'll probably be winning it.

It will remain that way until there are no Czech and Slovaks left.

Only if all Czechs and Slovaks are absolute morons right down to the marrow, which I doubt is the case.

Change begins with you.

Okay. It might not be the best way, but it's like that for the last 100 years.

And if people keep reacting to it in the way that you apparently do it'll remain that way for another 100 years.

Long story. The Czechs who are as old as me were brought up that Slovaks are the worst ones, that we're just construction workers, they call us čobolovia (čo bolo = what was, in Czech it's co bylo), and they behave like there were "ubermensch".
Yea, I forgot, a country that has always had a big German minority calls us nazis (because September 1st is Constitution day in Slovakia, and they think we celebrate the start of WWII)

So you think the best way for you to respond to that is to sink to their level?

And what have Czechs done to you specifically to make you "hate" them?

Didn't you do that before and just made yourself look worse?

I think that time it was about how she "hates" Hungarians.
