Eins, Zwei, Drei, Neun
By Abby | May 10th, 2008Apologies for lack of posting in a week where actual things were going on, but I've been having a birthday and therefore without time to write up posts. But in my absence, Hertha's done surprisingly well for themselves. Three wins in a row as of t ...
Thanks Buddy!
By Abby | May 5th, 2008It feels nice to win again. Even if it was a bit lucky in the end, every team is due a bit of that now and again. It's our turn. KSC started bright, missing several good chances before giving us a present- keeper Markus Miller misjudged a lon ...
Joleon Lescott Has A Large Forehead
By Abby | May 5th, 2008And thank God he does, because otherwise I would have had nothing to talk about while watching the game yesterday. Because really, nothing happened. It was very much an end-of-season game where the team couldn't quite be bothered to actually play. ...
A Visit From Some Friends
By Abby | May 2nd, 2008Karlsruher SC, our friends from Baden, come up for a visit on Saturday. When we went over to their place earlier in the season we left the points with them. This week, I hope that they return the favor. Despite falling off a bit lately, KSC have ...
Totally Not Mind-Numbingly Dull
By Abby | April 15th, 2008You mean a game between two injury-or-suspension-hit teams in indifferent form wasn't going to be super-exciting? Er, well, that's what can really be said about today's game. It wasn't all that interesting. It was a 0-0 draw against Hamburg, who'v ...
Three in a Row
By Abby | April 7th, 2008The thing about Werder Bremen is that, even now, you don't know which Werder Bremen will show up. Will it be the one that beat Arminia Bielefeld 8-1, or the one that lost to Duisburg? Majestic or tragic? Thrilling or mundane? You never know, with Bre ...
Not Bad, But Not Good Enough
By Abby | March 25th, 2008That just about sums up Sunday's game against Schalke 04. Not bad. Not good enough, but not bad. Considering that Schalke are definitely a decent team and we played well enough against them, we can hold our heads up despite the loss. Still, though, I
We Need A Pretty Goalkeeper: Schalke 04 Preview!
By Abby | March 23rd, 2008The next visitors to the Olympiastadion, challenging our six-game unbeaten streak, are Schalke 04. Currently ranked fifth in the table, the only German side in the Champions League quarterfinals, and in a good run of form themselves, they'll be a stern te
Ladies and Gentleman - Our New Kits
By Dave Martinez | February 26th, 2008HOME AWAY Not much has changed. The away looks . . . ummm . . . louder. The Home is basically the same. But we have all been waiting for the 08 look - and here it is. Enjoy!
Better To Read For One Minute
By Abby | February 19th, 2008than watch for 90. At least, that's what I understand from friends and match reports, having not watched it. The game was petering out to a 0-0 draw when Raffael made the most of a poor clearance from former Hertha player Thorben Marx after a throw-in and
Whatever the Case, Arminia Bielefeld Exists
By Abby | February 16th, 2008My very favorite random discovery relating to German geography on Wikipedia is the entry for the "Bielefeld Conspiracy." Basically, it's a German internet meme which states that the city of Bielefeld does not exist, that it's a hoax perpetuated by shadowy
A Young Striker Had A Dream Bundesliga Debut Saturday
By Abby | February 6th, 2008Unfortunately, it was Martin Fenin of Eintract Frankfurt. The 20-year-old Czech got a hat-trick at the Olympiastadion in a 3-0 victory over the capitol city side, wowing onlookers and winning new fans. So not exactly the start we were looking for.
Actual Games? No Way!
By Abby | February 2nd, 2008Yes way! Wow, it feels good to use this category again. It has been far too long. The Bundesliga's winter break is far too long for my liking, but it's back now! Instead of just speculating on how the new signings will be, we can actually see them in
A Much Better Weekend
By Abby | December 18th, 2007Note to self: remember to name the correct historical region of Germany in each match preview. The mighty Bayern Munich came to visit, and left with only a point. A fine result, I'd say, and very encouraging going into the winter break. Bayern may be h
Bavaria Approaches. For Real This Time.
By Abby | December 15th, 2007Okay, so talking about Bavaria last time didn't much help. Clearly, the Franconians were upset that I'd called them Bavarian, and showed it by taking it out on Hertha. This time, though, the opponents are actually Bavarian. It's in their name. Also, they
Toss Out Your Asprin
By Abby | December 1st, 2007Tomorrow's visitors to Berlin are Bayer Leverkusen, a club based in the North Rhine-Westphalia region (like so many others, as I like to say). If their name sounds familiar, you're probably thinking of your medicine cabinet. They were formed in 1904 by wo
Early snow and late goal
By Abby | November 13th, 2007I wasn't shocked when I read that there was a late goal scored in the Hertha Berlin game on Saturday. That's fairly common. What was a pleasant surprise was that the late goal was scored by Hertha. Also, that it was scored by Andre Lima. And it was the
Hannover 96 Preview
By Abby | November 10th, 2007Hannover 96 are, for whatever reason (snazzy red uniforms?) in 5th place. Hertha BSC Berlin, on the other hand, are in 10th. There are 5 points separating them. That's not insurmountable at this point in time, particularly in the Bundesliga. Admittedly, I
Hertha Win the Swiss Battle
By Abby | October 30th, 2007Jan may have been complaining about the lack of goals in the Bundesliga this weekend, but someone forgot to tell Hertha that no one was scoring. Granted, two isn't a huge amount, but I think fans of most teams would take a solid two-nil victory. Whi
Bochum Preview
By Abby | October 27th, 2007My very first match preview as a real live blogger. I should bronze it and send it to my mother, or something. Anyway, the boys in blue are facing…well, another group of boys in blue. VfL Bochum, one of the approximately 8,000* Bundesliga clubs l
