[Det the Threat]

Not even a 3-0 is enough to guarantee 3 points for us haha. Team gave me a heart attack in last 10 minutes. Still a good win.
Another win against Nürnberg next week and we might have a season without much risk to be relegated

Well you got your win against Nürnberg and are now 13 points clear of that relegation spot.
I'd be surprised if you would have anything to do with those spots given how poor Hannover, Nürnberg, Stuttgart and Augsburg have been so far this season.

BTW: We somehow found a way to beat Augsburg and are now eleven points clear of 7th place.

On to the next one now...beat Augsburg and their disgusting Baum/Reuter duo with no abilities whatsoever to acknowledge own mistakes.

Relegation spots seem pretty set this year. Neither Hannover nor Nürnberg look like they belong.
Augsburg and Stuttgart are desolate as well but seem to have higher quality

Bayern with another loss.

They really need some wingers and a capable defense.

While we won 2-0 at the stale beer gym at Gelsenkirchen and are now at 2nd place.

What a garbage performance today

Hummels is so garbage these days.

If I was Bayern I would sell him for a donut to the highest bidder.

Guy is the definition of a player lacking motivation.

Only five points behind Dortmund.
Bayern can plan for their next to title!

I will never understand why Hertha is sponsored by Tedi of all brands.
You are the biggest club from the biggest city in Germany. Ambition should be to build a team which is continously in the Champions League. Go get yourself a premium sponsor or none at all. Being sponsored by a low Euro drug store absolute ruins the image of your club, no?

[JohnPferdelack]

Maybe it was the only serious suitor?
You also have to know that Berlin wasn't way long in a european contest. No CL, no EL, so good competitor when's about good brands.

You are the biggest football club from Berlin, biggest city in Germany. Your strategy should be to position yourself as luxury/prime brand with the vision to play CL every season.

Seriously, rather wait a season, play without a sponsor and loose a few million than throwing your brand value down the toilet by being sponsored by a 1 € drugstore. They could've just waited until some global concern wants to position itself in the German market.

What Hertha is doing with this sponsorship is choosing short-term money over long-term brand development.

Surley, everything you said/wrote is understandable.
But the big difference is direction of the club. The Club itself decides which brand is sufficient.
And when you look at this decision you can recognize that sponsor for their jerseys hasn't no high priority.

One of the reasons why out of the top 5 leagues capital cities Berlin is the only one who never appears in the CL.
Because they dont have a clear long-term strategy.

Hertha is a so called a plain Jane!

[Foye]

Schwarz needs to go. This team has no vision how to play football going forward.
Each and every game they play like the just met first time and nobody knows where the other guys will be standing.
1 win in 6 games. We are fortunate there are even worse teams around.
Unfortunately, we just resigned him.

Loss at Bremen
Draw at max at home against Freiburg
Loss at Dortmund

And we are back in the relegation game, yay!

[JohnPferdelack]

No relegation game this year! Trust me.
Nuremberg, Hannover, Schalke, Augsburg and Stuttgart are a good deal worse than Mainz.

Well Nürnberg and Hannover are gone.

Gotta pick up another win and that should be enough...but given the current form of 6 losses in 7 games

I see no development with this team. No offensive plan at all and the defense that was improved in the 1st leg of the season has gotten significantely worse.

Watching Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg right now and there's this fearless dove that doesn't give a damn about the game at all. Several players have been really close to it but it just doesn't seem bothered at all

Also, what the heck is happening in Dusseldorf? Leading 3:0 after roughly 20 minutes against Gladbach.

[Basti]

Going into half time, the dove has made its way into Dortmund's six yard box and is still not giving a single ****
