Hamburg come into the match 2nd in the Bundesliga on 46 points, but only 2 points up on Leverkusen, Bremen and Schalke (in 3rd through 5th places, respectively), and thus need the whole 3 points from this match against the bottom feeders. Hamburg have 3 wins and [...]

I was trying to come up with a WWE-esque title for this post, which really is about the chase for 2 of the 3 Champions League spots in the Bundesliga. I am not conceding the title to Bayern Munich by any stretch, but it will take a collapse of 1964 Phillies/2007 Mets proportion for the [...]

. . . and not Rothosen. Saturday past saw HSV take a point from Wolfsburg at the VW Arena, on a first half goal by ‘Basi Reinhardt of all people. The final 10 minutes of the match were marred by a couple of red cards which leave Hamburg without the invaluable services of Da Man, [...]

Ran across this article today looking for pics of Sylvie van Der Vaart. The story details much of the mainstream media’s surprise about Van der Vaart’s transfer from Ajax to HSV in 2005.

I was reminded that one of my promises in starting up this blog was that I would post photos of the lovely Sylvie van Der Vaart. She is, as they say, very easy on the eyes.

The Dinosaur* now sit 2nd in the table on 45 points following a 1-0 victory over Dortmund this Saturday past, with the lone goal coming from Paolo Guerrero, who has recovered nicely from the bout of social disease he contracted during last autumn’s international break (JK-at the time, there were reports that he was out [...]

Like a bad case of the clap, the story about Slaven Bilic taking over at HSV just won’t go away, and if we extend our clap metaphor just a little more, it would seem that this bout has gone from acute to chronic. A story today says that Bilic has been told by HSV they want [...]

Just like that the European season is over? Seriously? I swear I have been watching Intertoto and UEFA Cup matches since May ‘07. Out of the German Cup, out of the UEFA Cup, Huub leaving and VDV with one foot out the door. SIGH. At least we had an Atouba sighting. :P I suppose we could [...]
