Huub Stevens
It’s official
By: Chris |Uli Hoeness scooped everybody on his new signing on Saturday.
This one’s for Angela
By: Chris |I ran across a story today on Welt.De which describes the leadership on the pitch for HSV (there isn’t any) and the potential solution. Who you may asK?
Wednesday musings
By: Chris |Lots of news coming out of Hamburg following yet another 3-0 loss on the road. A little bit of finger-pointing, followed by some introspection, and finally the gaffer questioning his tactics and lineups.
Manfred Kaltz’s ramblings
By: Chris |An interview with former HSV star Manfred Kaltz (who is 55, b-t-w. I cannot FREAKING believe that Manny Kaltz is 55; that makes me . . .) reveals that Kaltz doesn’t like HSV’s long term prospects.

Nevermind

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 [...]

Stevens announced his intention to move in late November (while I was on Thanksgiving holiday, thank you–couldn’t you have waited until I [...]
