Not Quite as Planned, But Better Than Bayern

Why do we keep dropping points to Cottbus? Do we think the name Energie is cool? (It kind of is, I must admit.) Because we don’t have much of anything that can be called a derby, so we must do our best to keep the one we have in the Bundesliga? Because Chancellor Merkel makes [...]

Oh, Right, Cottbus
By: Abby | No Comments
Tomorrow, Hertha head a bit south to the Stadion der Freundschaft to take on Energie Cottbus, who are as of writing officially the bottom team in the Bundesliga. They’re two points behind Bielefeld and Duisburg, 16th and 15th respectively on 22 points, and are fighting for their Bundesliga lives after being promoted two season ago. [...]

That just about sums up Sunday’s game against Schalke 04. Not bad. Not good enough, but not bad. Considering that Schalke are definitely a decent team and we played well enough against them, we can hold our heads up despite the loss.
Still, though, I’m not sure how we managed to lose this game. (Well, I [...]

The next visitors to the Olympiastadion, challenging our six-game unbeaten streak, are Schalke 04. Currently ranked fifth in the table, the only German side in the Champions League quarterfinals, and in a good run of form themselves, they’ll be a stern test. They’re in good form, they have a lot to play for, and they [...]

From Football Shirts News comes this picture of what may be next season’s Hertha shirt. We’ve had stripy shirts on and off before and these aren’t bad, although I really like the shirts we have now. They’re unique. Lots of teams have stripes.
But as stripes go, these aren’t bad, and I do like the bit [...]
Could Be Worse

Lucien Favre went to Frankfurt today to appeal, and it could have been worse. While he still has to pay a fine- up €5,000 from the first fine, to €20,000- he will be on the bench for the upcoming game against Schalke. It’s always better for the manager to actually be around to do important [...]

I’m back home from Anaheim, having had my fill of sun (I am a very pale person- I managed to get a sunburn sitting on a patio having lunch), and now I’m back home with the rain. And back to Hertha.
Not Really Here

I’m not really here. I’m actually at a trade show, in a hotel room, resting from spending all day on my feet doing my job. But, it’s almost the weekend and things happen on weekends.
So, a quick little roundup/preview of everything…
Tomorrow Hertha are off to Hansa Rostock. Not too far from us, up north. Lulu [...]
Category: match previewContracts: Total Crap
By: Abby | 9 Comments
And yes, every football fan knows that. Contracts are constantly broken in football and if they’re not (and the player leaves on a free transfer) the club is doing something wrong. But even so, this one is a bit surprising.
Malik Fathi is gone. Not going, gone. Left. Because, you see, the Russian transfer window closes [...]

While I’ve been working and forgetting to blog (which I do apologize for), things have been happening. Players are staying, players are wanting to go, players are discussing their futures, players are being watched…a flurry of activity, or something.
Official things first. Berlin-born defender Malik Fathi has extended his contract until 2009, in a deal that [...]
