For Some Reason, This Happened
By: Abby |No, that is not a random Photoshop job. Arne Friedrich met with Prince Charles and Camilla during their trip to Berlin. I’m not sure exactly why, except that he’s apparently a good person to have a photo op with these days.
It’s been exciting times for Arne, although perhaps not in the way he’d like. While [...]
It’s Comforting, In A Way
By: Abby |A “highly efficient” Hertha performance, featuring defending described mostly as “solid”, produced a 1-0 win away to Hoffenheim. It was another one of those games in which the other team dominated, should have won on multiple occasions, hit the crossbar, and yet lost as we managed to score with our one shot on target.
It [...]
The Fashion Pack
By: Abby |It’s the way you can tell the season is, sadly, wrapping up, but with the promise of next year – the debut of next season’s jersey.
On Monday, in the train station as we’re still going to have Deutsche Bahn on them, the new jerseys made their first official appearance.
My opinion? I rather like them, [...]
We’re Not Dead Yet
By: Abby |Just when it seemed like the dreams were dead – 70 minutes into what looked like our fourth loss in a row – they showed a flicker of life. After the full 90, they think they’ll go for a walk.
The first half was one of those games where it looked like proof that our luck [...]
On And On And On
By: Abby |In a lot of ways, our Bundesliga season should have been Werder Bremen’s. A build-up of good results, topping the table in the second half of the season for several weeks, perhaps a collapse towards the end of things. Werder Bremen are one of the more recognizable names of the recent Bundesliga and the neutral’s [...]
It Pours
By: Abby |As the spring approaches and the Seattle weather turns to the sort of thing that we don’t tell outsiders about, all the clouds and gloom are coming instead from Hertha Berlin.
Saturday’s game against Hanover didn’t fail to stop our bad run of form; it just compounded it, with a 2-0 loss. That’s now three in [...]
Chins Up, Chins Up
By: Abby |Right, then. I’ve had my sulk and now it’s time to get back to anticipation and support. These next few weeks are going to be hard, but damn it, there’s still hope. And whatever the case, we’ve got some great memories to fall back on.
Right now, we’ve got a decent game to recover our form [...]
Thud
By: Abby |Did you hear that?
That’s the noise of the season crashing back to Earth.
It would come when I was starting to believe; when everything seemed to be falling into place and we would make things happen. I’d gone the whole season without letting myself get too far ahead of ourselves. I wouldn’t think of us as [...]
