I hope Hertha keep Voronin and it looks like he may not go back to Liverpool, from Soccernet:

“I could not care less about the idea that Liverpool know what I am doing for Hertha. I am scoring goals for Hertha, not for them,” the Bundesliga club’s top-scorer told Bild.

“I really do not give a damn about the way they are thinking about me.”

I feel like this is some sort of existential question. Maybe it’s just “written” as they say in Slumdog Millionaire. There’s no clear reason why Bayern’s defense should be this insanely crappy as it is more or less the same as last year. The difference is Oddo, Rensing, and the coach, so maybe these tweaks are it. Hertha fell out of UEFA Cup awfully early in the fall… I think if Hertha keep Voronin, they’ll be in excellent shape for next year.

Is it all really down to luck? Can your entire season be lucky? What do all those statistics mean anyway – I mean if you 60% of the possession but you stuff around in your own half does the statistic mean anything? 20 Shots at goal of which 18 were nowhere near the keeper?
If Hertha win it all, it’ll be because they were the better more consistant team throughout the season. Winning by 1 or 5 goals doesn’t matter, you still get 3 points. Chelsea won the EPL twice thanks to boring football – do you think their fans care? They have 2 years of winning memories!
If Hertha don’t win it, it just means we dropped the ball when it counted, but it won’t have anything to do with luck.
In the meantime I’m enjoying the ride!
