The Successor

It’s official: Friedhelm Funkel is the new coach of Hertha BSC Berlin.
He spent the past five years as manager of Eintracht Frankfurt, before leaving at the end of last season. At Frankfurt, he got them up, kept them up, and even brought them to Europe via a cup final, so he has the sort of [...]
Break His Heart, Not Mine

First off: everyone’s got to go and read the conversation in the last post. Some great insight into the situation currently at Hertha. (I pretty much agree with Jan, for what it’s worth.)
A tough stretch awaits Hertha BSC Berlin, a stretch that would be tough even if we weren’t in the position we find ourselves [...]
Tell Us Something We Don’t Know, Milan Kacar
By: Abby | 2 Comments
According to some quotes in Sport Bild, helpfully translated by goal.com, Gojko Kacar’s uncle-agent Milan says that “this could be his last year at Hertha” because Gojko wants to play for a title-winning team.
Tell us something we don’t know, Milan Kacar.
I love Gojko Kacar very much- he’s a wonderful player, a fantastic find, and he’s [...]

In April, last season, the come-from-behind 2-1 win against Werder Bremen caused a lot of us to believe that we were really going to do something. True, it was late in a disappointing season for the northerners, and even truer, we’d been pounded on earlier in the season for the away game, but it was [...]
Geh’n Wir Nicht

Rumors of our demise have been exaggerated.
Not, you know, that there wasn’t a reason to start them. 45 goalless minutes started the game, although the official Hertha liveticker (it’s very hard to watch a game when you’re supposed to be working) assured me that they had the better of the chances. But chances haven’t been [...]
All or Nothing

Valeri Domovchiyski gave Hertha a lifeline in Denmark. The young Bulgarian scored the 1 in a 2-1 loss (and missed a chance for a 2), giving us a hope that we can overturn the result at the Jahn Sportpark. A 1-0 win would see us through.
My anxiety about the team was detailed pretty well [...]
I Blame GolTV For This

Bochum hadn’t had a win yet. Politely, we gave it to them.
It’s the story of the first few games. We haven’t been looking too terrible, or at least we’ve been creating chances, but our scoring just hasn’t happened. It’s certainly worrying and it seems to be taking its toll on the confidence of the players. [...]

Brøndby was somehow what I expected- a tough game from an opponent that I knew would never be easy. I couldn’t watch the game, being at work, but it seems like that was somewhat of the case. It seems like we had chances to equalize but couldn’t finish, and Artur Wichniarek limped off after half [...]
Out-Hertha’d

I think that’s the best description of Saturday’s game.
Over the past season we gained a reputation for taking our chances, turning lack of domination and possession into three points and generally baffling pundits with our ability to keep winning while not playing well in a conventional fashion. Borussia Mönchengladbach, after miraculously escaping relegation last [...]
The Tightrope
By: Abby | 7 Comments
There’s a fine line to managing Hertha this season. Success and failure are balanced on a razor’s edge, and there’s no room for error. Other teams can afford to make a few stumbles in the transfer market, but we truly can’t.
We also can’t really afford to keep players that aren’t, at the moment, completely [...]
