Today has been much anticipated and indeed looked forward to. I'm not able to go to the match (very limited numbers of tickets) but it is being broadcast live on the telly so no dodgy streams are required!
I am a little nervous about the reputation of the ref - Peter Gagelmann who has a but if a reputation of being trigger happy with his cards. Hertha will need to keep their discipline tonight - no more repeats of yellow or even worse red cards please.
Thomas Kraft is back tonight which is great news for Hertha he has been sorely missed since that fateful day in Düsseldorf last season. He should make a big difference at the back. Let's hope our new strike force can make a difference - Ha Ho He!
