HSV News and Notes
By: Chris |Please accept another apology for the lack of posts. Between the Euro ‘08 (lack of club news) and what’s been happening in the town where I reside (follow the link and look for Cedar Falls), I haven’t had a chance to write and not much to write about. . .
Oh no, MoMo or CATFIGHT!
By: Chris |A bit (OK-a WHOLE lot) of fur flying between former manager Huub Stevens and, ahem, underutilized striker Mohammed Zidan over the last few days.
Where’d that come from?
By: Chris |To all that read this blog, my apologies–I’ve been on a wonderful and well-deserved holiday sans laptop for over a week.
Circling the drain
By: Chris |Our Hanseaten heroes are back to their blundering ways, having lost any momentum they may have gained in their well-played defeat to Bremen, with their away loss to relegation-strugglers Cottbus.

Nevermind
By: Chris |Nevermind that the Dinosaur lost to Duisburg (?!) at home Saturday. Nevermind that 4 regulars will be missing from the next match, including captain VDV. Nevermind that the side are in a complete freefall (I have had Tom Petty in my head non-stop since Saturday morning) right now, having collected exactly 2 points in their [...]

*Despite having one foot out the door, Raphael van Der Vaart is still doing the right thing in the Hamburg community.
*The players feel, that despite the result versus Stuttgart, they [...]
