A Huge Week…
By: Evan |…and a short post to sum it all up. As of Monday, I have exams for two weeks, so I’m going to keep this (and every any posts during those two weeks) brief.
This week’s been like a true roller coaster. After the elation of getting into the UEFA Cup Europa League, we felt the sheer [...]
End of season awards
By: Chris |With the Bundesliga season complete and a spot in European competition secured, Evan and I have decided to hand out awards. There are 8 awards to be handed out, so let’s get down to business. Without further ado, we present the 2008/09 Hamburg Offside post-season awards.

Dear readers, I give you Evan, [...]
Europa, here we come!
By: Evan |Well Ladies and Gentlemen, after some very tense games last night, HSV will be playing in the new Europa League competition! Unfortunately, living in the second most isolated city in the world means that I was stuck watching Wolfsburg (but when it’s Bremen being beaten thrashed, it’s all good!)
