Also going to throw this out, time to get rid of Vermeer. Not that he isn't bad apart from his kicking/distribution and his reactions have been great, but it's time to get the $$$ for him and I think it's time for Cilessen to step up and give it a go, he's done well in most of his recent appearances.

Siggi 0-4! :blub.gif: I wish we had him all season at striker, I think things would have looked different if we had him since October(?) or whenever he went out. 2 goals in 15 minutes, he has a nose for goal. IMO we've been playing 3rd or 4th choice at that position all season (I'd take Babel at #2 ...

0-1 Hoesen early

Don't get to see many midweek games these days. I'm hoping we pound them after what we gave up last weekend.

Thought Fischer had a great game, first time I've seen him. Hope Sigthorson stays healthy this season, and Boerrigter too, though if Fischer can play like he did today that's not a bad backup. Midfield is pretty full, less so if Anita goes, considering Eriksen and Jansen didn't play. Defense is the ...

K.

That's great.

I think Adidas has done a good job with these commercials, pretty creative and memorable, like the ones with playing against people in Vondelpark and kicking balls from the canals.

Just need AZ to lose now to complete things.

I was at the university quite a bit later, got my undergrad in English in 05, although I did grow up in Champaign and lived there until I graduated.

I just finish my application process to study a masters in cultural and social anthropology at the University of Amtsredam. Good luck, I've been thinking about going back to study in that field. Hey - another anthropology student. When I was a graduate student in anthropology at the U of Illinois. ...

Hup Ajax

Interested to see how they perform today, some back (Jansen out, let's see how the midfield performs) and first match after the Cruijff decision.

I agree with the above, but would make one other point. In sports, it seems the really good teams are the ones with the mental strength to overcome adversity and fight back when things don't go their way. That's something that Ajax has seemed to be lacking for awhile now and don't see it changing an...

Undeserved 1-1 draw given the poor level of play by our non-existent midfield. We cannot pass the ball at all and players seem to have no clue about what to do under adverse conditions such as with today's wind. . Cuz I haven't posted in a bit, my thoughts (agree with the above, although I might be...

FdB was quoted in de Telegraaf that it was not a penalty on van der Wiel but should have been a free kick. I don't think he saw the replay as it looked like Mertens was in the box. That one is always a tough call in terms of when it is obstruction and when the defender has the right to the position...

Blind3 schreef:Dmitri Bulykin would seem the perfect cup fighting option at striker come Wednesday evening. More minutes in an Ajax shirt for him . Figure Sigthorsson picked up a knock today and is not likely to be risked if available.

Agree. 1 match, 1 goal. Let's see what he can do

Fulham is below his standards, average at most in the PL. Still seems to be difficult to get to a (real) big club when you're at Twente. Doesn't help that Elia and Arnautovic both failed in other competitions. I'm curious to see how he turns out in England. I never rated him that highly, though he ...

The best thing is that we are a couple of minutes away of earning our first clean sheet. Miracle!! I was thinking about the same thing with 10 minutes to go. Then we conceded. I like de Boer's post-match comments on it, basically some arrogance from Jan (even though why not at that point in the gam...

Group D it is, so far with: Real Madrid, Lyon

Here's the setup Pot 1: Manchester United Barcelona Chelsea Bayern Munchen Arsenal Real Madrid FC Porto Inter Milaan Pot 2: AC Milan Olympique Lyon Shakthar Donetsk Valencia Benfica Villarreal CSKA Moskou Olympique Marseille Pot 3: Zenit Ajax Bayer Leverkusen Olympaikos Piraeus Manchester City Lille...

Everyone put on your helmets. The sky is falling. Also, De Jong should not play. It should be Anita. Agree with the comments here. I really don't see a place for de Jong in this team, he doesn't seem better than the other choices in the midfield or at striker. He can't distribute and can't finish. ...

Rent a car and drive up the PCH as far as you can. LA isn't one of my favorite cities but it is pretty close to a lot of neat things: the coast, the mountains, Joshua Tree, Vegas, etc. I'd recommend this if you've got the time. I went to LA earlier this year with my girlfriend for a conference she ...

I hope Roma pays. I'm really a bit surprised there has been so little interest in him this summer. As much as I like Stekelenberg, I think it's time for him to move on so Vermeer gets more action. If we keep both, I could see a worst case scenario where they both want to leave in January and we are ...

Not sure if it's changed in the last few years, but I went to the Ajax-Feyenoord match in 2009 with tickets and the pre-match tour purchased through the Ajax site. This was also the last year they allowed away fans, which is why I don't know if it's changed.

souras84 schreef:Wijnaldum and Schaars in the light bulbs?? Shit man!

Doesn't seem quite as bad if this scenario also includes them losing Dzsudzsak, Toivonen and Engelaar. Especially if Gomes is back in goal

Still not a terrible looking side, I expect PSV will be in the running next year like usual.

Agree we could use another defender, especially if Vertonghen (and possibly van der Wiel) leave. Seems like that's the case every year. I'm also not sure about Jannsen, he's the type of player few opposing fans can stand. I think there may be better players we could get, but I also read an interesti...

Good thing Maarten had better hands than this during the season :
