Hands up, I've got absolutely no idea what state German professional basketball is in at the moment, but the fact that Bastian Schweinsteiger is making their players look pretty damn scheisse is hardly a glowing testament.

We consider it to be a testament to our bluffing skills that we manage to cobble together (barely) enough posts on this website to fool people into thinking we are taking it seriously. We do, don't we? It's not entirely obvious that a good 90% of our attention is generally on drinking, shopping or a frighteningly expensive combination of the two, is it?

Frank McParland has today saluted the crop of talent emerging from the club's Academy.
