From Football Shirts News comes this picture of what may be next season’s Hertha shirt. We’ve had stripy shirts on and off before and these aren’t bad, although I really like the shirts we have now. They’re unique. Lots of teams have stripes.
But as stripes go, these aren’t bad, and I do like the bit [...]
Could Be Worse

Lucien Favre went to Frankfurt today to appeal, and it could have been worse. While he still has to pay a fine- up €5,000 from the first fine, to €20,000- he will be on the bench for the upcoming game against Schalke. It’s always better for the manager to actually be around to do important [...]

I’m back home from Anaheim, having had my fill of sun (I am a very pale person- I managed to get a sunburn sitting on a patio having lunch), and now I’m back home with the rain. And back to Hertha.

While I’ve been working and forgetting to blog (which I do apologize for), things have been happening. Players are staying, players are wanting to go, players are discussing their futures, players are being watched…a flurry of activity, or something.
Official things first. Berlin-born defender Malik Fathi has extended his contract until 2009, in a deal that [...]

Earlier today (or tonight, depending on in what time zone you’re in- for me this was all happening around noon), the Hertha boys were off in Dortmund to play the men in those nice bumblebee outfits. And the good run of form continued- we picked up a point at the Signal-Iduna Park in a 1-1 [...]
The Early Season High Is Awesome

That’s really what I have to say about that. After losing to Frankfurt in the opening day of the second half, we’ve bounced back with assured performances both home and away. Duisburg was the most recent victim of this trend- a 2-0 victory where the only criticism was that we didn’t make it a greater [...]

At least, that’s what Arne Friedrich is theoretically doing.
Category: Team NewsWhere Did the Week Go?

Somehow, last week disappeared. I’m not sure how. But suddenly I looked up and I was watching the Oscars while drinking pink champagne (no, really). And the week had gone by and I hadn’t written about any of the things I wanted to write about.
Including a preview of the Wolfsburg game. I would have said [...]
Important Serbians and Young Americans

This weekend Marko Pantelic showed his worth to the club with two fantastic goals, and the Hertha website makes a note of it. Not only does he get a nice article, he’s also replaced Gilberto as the main image. He was the offense for the first half of the season, and it’s likely that he’ll [...]

When I left for work this morning, everywhere (including the English version of the Hertha website, which has yet to change) was reporting that the Gilberto transfer had somehow collapsed and we would be paying his salary for another six months, and then not getting any transfer fee for him when he left in the [...]
