Sky Sports, quoting Bild, brings the news that Hertha are set to offer Jaroslav Drobny a new deal. As anyone who’s watched Hertha this season can tell you, this is brilliant news.
The 29-year-old Czech has been in fantastic form all season, so much so that he was not only voted Herthaner of the Hinrunde, according [...]

What is up with Wolfsburg?
By: Abby | No Comments
The Hertha story of this season, to hear it retold from neutrals, is of Hertha winning a lot of games where they should have lost. That’s been the standard line. The one exception that’s usually brought up was the game against Wolfsburg, where Hertha should have won but instead drew 2-2. And the new exception? [...]
Back to earth, now?

It’s been an euphoric week for Hertha fans. After last week’s win we’ve been one of the stories of Europe, our unprepossessing little club without big-name stars or big-name spending in with a chance to win our first title in over 70 years. Hoffenheim? No way. We’re the story.
It hasn’t all been positive. In fact, [...]

And a win over Bayern is what we have.
A win over Bayern- deserved, damn it, deserved!- and first place in the table, a point above Hoffenheim (and Hamburg), and two above the Bavarians. It’s the first time Hertha has been on top this late in the season in ever. And we did it all [...]

Normally, the talking points of a Bayern Munich-Hertha Berlin game is about the Hoeness brothers, or more likely, the difference in fortunes between them, with Uli lording over the perennially successful Bavarians and Dieter with the less-successful Berliners. (Not that there still isn’t some of that.) If there was talk of the table, it would [...]

Our chance to go top at the weekend (and possibly hold it, with other results) ended in how I expected/feared- by not happening.
Instead, a 1-1 draw at Bielefeld, combined with a draw for Hoffenheim and a win for Bayern (along with Hamburg’s loss) means that we’re third instead.
Most comments I’ve read have had [...]

Even when they’re old, and even when I reference them too much. Which means that every time I do a match preview for a game against Arminia Bielefeld, I will make a reference to one of my very favorites, the Bielefeld Conspiracy.
It’s still funny, damn it.
Anyways. We’ve got the Friday match this week, which used [...]

Back in August, an incongruous 2-0 away win over Eintracht Frankfurt heralded the beginning of the season. Five months and 36 points later, an incongruous 2-1 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt leaves us at second in the table, two points behind the leaders.
Frankly, incredible.
Saturday’s game was one much like the one’s we’ve been winning [...]
