Well, the winter brake is over. To short if you ask me. Hope that Vermaelen and Wan der Wiel be fit for this. Or at least one of them

Im in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA...what channel can I watch the Ajax vs AZ game?

It's on Setanta North America, I believe. I think that's pay-TV.

Yanks?

K.

No Police strike in the pipeline.Looking forward to the game

It will be on Setanta, but unfortunately it's not being shown live on Sunday (They are showing PSV/Feyenoord). The first air is Monday morning at 06:45 am EST.

Check the schedules here: http://www.setantanorthamerica.com/TVSc ... dules.aspx



Your best bet for watching it live is to use a p2p video program, like Sopcast, Sunday morning. It's a big game, so there should be good feeds for it (hopefully).

I dont know shit of dutch but i kind of read somewhere that Siem de Jong was going to play right back for this game....any truth in this or am i just stupid ?

You´re stupid.LOL.

Kidding , yes ,according to Het Parool ,he´s going to play as a right back, since he has played in that position against stuttgart ,in Dubai

Ok so we have De Jong,Heits,Vertonghen and Urby in defence......what the hell !!!! this could be our midfield any other given day....I know that the dutch style is to play ¨Total Football¨ but....i for one dont like this switching of positions every once in a while.

Trouble is we have no fit defenders. Actually Colin is fit and the fact that we are fielding 2 proper midfielders Vertonghen and De Jong makes me ask the question ,WHY IS COLIN STILL HERE?

What do you want to do with him then ?
I'm not sure there are many teams interested, and I don't think it's an option to fire him...

Sorry to labour the point but at present for today's match we actually have 3 fit out and out defenders Urby Heits( both have played midfield I know but are defenders) and Colin.
Given that we now think an 18 year old midfielder should play right back instead of Colin yes I would pay him off.He is unlikely to figure in the first team again and should not be played in the reserves at the expense of an 18/19 year old defender of which we have a few already contracted.

1-0 down already - Ari. Gabri lost the ball right in the box but I can't blame him - where was the defence?!! And De Zeuwe was offside, blocked Steks view so must be interfering with play!

Who was the minutes silence for anyway? - Setanta didn't seem to know...

WHY DON'T THE FUCKING MORONS SIGN A CENTREBACK

ARE THEY THICK?

0-1 What a surprise! Don't worry there will be more

This is getting to be like a bad rash -- unfortunately I don't think anything is going to change until they fire the board and bring in people who care more about football than how much money they can put in the bank.

RJF

de jong - heitinga - vertonghen - emanuelson

i mean, for fuck's sake

i could score against them

alledgedly this is called policy.
'there is nothing better than this for sale'
or so i've heard.

Vertonghen! 1-1

Perez and its 2-1

2-1 to Ajax and De Zeuwe sent off for handling the ball 'behind' the line from the original shot.

Setanta are saying that the original goal should have stood and he shouldn't have been sent off but I can't be too sorry as I remeber AZ's "goal" against Steks at their place last year.

So 2-1 up against ten men....

Perz! 2-1! And red card to De Zeuw!

that's because they don't know what they are looking for

they are obsessed with "opbouw-verdedigers" and keep trying to sign the next rijkaard, but they can't find him anywhere.

what we need at the moment is a meat and potatoes defender who gets the job done. leave the opbouw to somebody else.

just to cheer you up Heits yellow means he misses NEC next week!

Lets win today though.

That was absolutely right desicion by ref, the ball didn't cross the line, so goal couldn't be allowed

Yeap, and if Vermaelen or Wan der Wiel won't be able to play again, i don't even want to imagine how our defence will look then
