That's what I'm worried about, Jan. These guys get tired. But we have just signed a new defender and it looks like there will be more where that came from, so. Yeah.

It seems that - just because it's Berlin - they expect no less than Champions League football. Though, if I paint a "worst case" scenario, then all five Bundesliga sides make it to the group stage. The DFL just brokered a deal with TV stations that they can have a third Sunday game to accommodate the UEFA Cup. Spreading out four teams over three games might still be manageable, but with five you might again end up with situations, where teams have to play on Thursday and Saturday. And then it's really going to test squad depth. Well, how about Hertha fans get a bit excited about their club for a change?

Even when we were in the group stage stage last time, no one turned up to watch.

I'm coming around to it. I found the possibility worrying for a while (the Nuremburg situation), but now I'm actually a bit excited. (Which means that someone's going to get himself sent off on Saturday and it'll go to Frankfurt.) Yeah. I’m coming around to it.

It'll be fun, and the club will make a tiny bit of extra cash. I know its a mixed bag for a building team, but you should enjoy a little European football for your club.
