On Sunday Hertha released via Twitter the squad for the derby against Union. The squad that was anounced is as follows:
Keepers Kraft. Burchert.
Defenders Lusti, Brooks, Bastians, Hubnik, Pekarik, Kobi, Morales
Midfield Niemeyer, Ronny, Kluge, Ben-Hatira, Ndjeng
Strikers Ramos, Allagui, Wagner, Sahar
The match ended up being an epic comeback for Hertha who went 2:0 down before grasping honour from the jaws of defeat!
Unions Terodde scored after just 9 minutes which was a bit of a shock! We put a few chances together but threw too many of them away and went in At half time at 0:1. I was kind of hoping that Luhukay would give a stirring team talk that would inspire the team to come out fighting but, just four minutes into the second half . . Nemis scored again for Union whilst surrounded by three Hertha players! Thomas Kraft was not very happy. This was not the plan at all and everyone went very quiet for a few minutes . . But the Hertha crowd, the Ostkurve in particular, came back and were singing and chanting like there was no tomorrow!
Hertha fought back and Ramos gave us a lifeline on the 73rd minute. Ronny, who else made it 2:2 with just four minutes to spare - awesome!
Photos and videos to follow when I get off this train ha ha ha!

| Arriving at the Olympiastadion S-Bahnhof alongside a many Hertha and Union, fans before the big match. The train was totally packed - like sardines without the oil! |  |
| The Ostkurve at its very best! Fantastic chanting and singing not to mention the giant artwork sweeping up from the front to cover the whole lower tier! |  |
| Eiseners, Union fans with their pyrotechnics when the Hertha fans were singing NurNach Hause. Forbidden of course . . . Very dramatic, creates some great photos and things for the press and politicians to latch on to but . . not so sure I would be quite so happy if I was next to them going off or in the lower tier below it. |  |
A couple of clips that I took with my phone before the match showing the crowd and just a small taste of the atmosphere that you never really get from watching it on TV.
People tweeted to me at the time when I commented about the noise that you just couldn't hear it on German TV that night. Yet other commented on the noise from the Eiseners on TV - not sure what was going on there and why it appeared they couldn't hear the home fans . .
