Go Back To The Start

A battling 1-0 win that my Bayern-supporting friend (bitterly, after I teased him about which team had won and which team didn’t on Saturday) referred to as “boring”?
Oh yes, it’s good to be back.
Hannover, much to my pessimistic predictions, put up more of a fight than they appeared capable of in pre-season. They had the [...]
Hey, Remember That Swedish Guy?

You know, the one I said signed for Lazio and that our Lazio blogger said signed for AZ Alkmaar?
Turns out neither of us were right, and as of today, he’s a Hertha Berlin player.
His name is Rasmus Bengtsson and it’s got all the signs of a transfer coup. AZ are the reigning champions of Holland, [...]
Things That Hertha Berlin Are Not

Number 1: a cup team.
At least, in all the time I’ve known them. They’ve not done particularly spectacular in any of the cups they’ve been involved with. Last year was a bit better than others, with us going out from the DFB-Pokal to a Bundesliga team in extra time (Borussia Dortmund), and being not entirely [...]
Meet the New Simunic, and A Few Others
By: Abby | 3 Comments
So, after a bit of the standard transfer hemming and hawing, we’ve got our man. 21-year-old Nemanja Pejcinovic, billed as the ‘new Josip Simunic’ by some in the press, has joined Hertha after impressing Lulu in a week-long trial. While at one point it seemed like the deal wouldn’t go through, something was worked out [...]
The Transfer Dance

Jan put it best when he called our transfer targets those that “cost nothing and earn less”. It’s not an easy job that Michael Preetz got for himself, finding and signing players for Hertha.
So, what are we looking at, according to the papers?
We had young Serbian Nemanja Pecjinovic on trial, where he apparently impressed Lulu. [...]

That’s what Hertha has right now.
A 2-0 friendly win against Ferencvaros of Budapest (just a bit over the border from the Austrian training camp) was more notable for the trouble at it than the game itself. Goals from Cicero and Gojko Kacar were overshadowed by the events away from the pitch. 3 Hertha fans were [...]
Vielleicht Hertha

So, where were we?
The Battle of Berlin ended in a 5-3 win for Hertha. A festive Alte Forestei was treated to two goals from Artur Wichniarek, and one each from Amine Chermiti, Raffael, and Valeri Domovchiyski. Also a laser show. And fireworks. (And three goals from their own team.)
Having not watched it (work gets in [...]
The Return of the King

A new striker before Austria (on the 10th of July)? How about a new striker today?
Well, not so much a new striker. A returning striker. Artur Wichniarek has come back, signing a two-year deal. At Armenia Bielefeld he was known as King Artur and was their main line of offense, scoring the goals that kept [...]

It’s signed, sealed, and exit-interviewed: Josip Simunic has left Hertha after nearly 10 years.
I honestly thought it wasn’t going to happen. A bit of a boy-who-cries wolf scenario. A player can talk about leaving only so much before I stop believing him, and it seems that my entire time doing this blog he’s been [...]

Also, Josip Simunic is going to Hoffenheim.
More discussion later.
