Younger Faster Better Stronger

By: Abby | Comments 3 Comments

“Hertha has to become like the city of Berlin: young, passionate, brave, open and direct.” So says Michael Preetz, the new Berlin manager.

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

I needed a bit of a break before I could write this- the mix of emotions for a Hertha supporter over the last just about a week and a half. From highs to lows, hope to despair, and the final confusion of what, exactly, to make of everything?
