Only Andriy Voronin Can Keep Andriy Voronin In Berlin

By: Abby | Comments 2 Comments

In a manner of speaking, anyway.
Reports are coming in that we’ve got an agreement to purchase sexy-chested Ukrainian striker from parent club Liverpool. The only problem? It hinges on our qualification for the Champions League- the only way we can make enough money to afford him.
So basically, if Voronin keeps scoring the goals that [...]

I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

The way this season has gone, it only makes sense that when we do finally lose, it’s to the team that we always beat.
Grumble.
It was a bad day for us. There’s not much more that can be said. Sometimes we’ve been bad and still won; this time, we were bad and just bad. It’s not [...]

Old Friends

By: Abby | Comments No Comments

The first ever Hertha game I went to was against Stuttgart. It was at home, and after going behind Hertha came back to win it. This was before Hertha was winning games on a regular basis, back when Stuttgart were defending champions, and it was an exciting outing for me.
Since then, Hertha has played [...]

Das geht ab

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

Signs that things are different for Hertha this season: they’re the live game on GolTV’s Bundesliga coverage, and they’ve got the superstar commentary team (Ray and Phil, of course) talking over it. True, Hertha v. Leverkusen is on paper more exciting than Bayern v. Bochum, but it’s still probably something that wouldn’t have happened last [...]

How can you expect to be taken seriously?

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

When does this become real?
It’s a question that I’ve been asking myself, in regards to Hertha’s season. I’ve long been against considering us as title challengers. It seems odd that we would be. We didn’t start out even considering that option. The UEFA Cup was a serious consideration, and the hope was that we would [...]

The Bogey

By: Abby | Comments 6 Comments

Normally, when a team at the top of the table meets a team towards the bottom, there’s not much to talk about and not much is expected. But nothing is normal about Hertha Berlin this season. So why should this be any different?
The bottom team in question is our Brandenburg neighbors, the consistently non-glamorous but [...]

Second Chances for First Place

By: Abby | Comments 4 Comments

I think that Dieter stole a good-luck charm from Uli at a Hoeness family gathering. Just as I was lamenting our time on top of the table lasting only a week, results conspire to go our way and we’re back again. That sort of luck usually only happens for the elder Hoeness, but that seems [...]
