Organization and a reference to our defenders appears to me not to really go together well in the same sentence.

Our favourite is:

Also highly recommended is 1st Klasse on Platform 2 @ Amsterdam Central station

Always remembering Van Dobens of course for a great Amsterdam experience

Apparently Petri wants to leave Werder in the summer ... . Anyone reckon he's coming back? From that generation of defenders, we could do with Chivu and Maxwell coming back. Though with Chivu playing at a winning Inter and Maxwell possibly kicking Urby out at AC Milan, I don't hold much hope. Trabe...

philippe schreef:Another game without El Hamdaoui. Given our difficulties to score during the home game, I find it difficult to understand.

What is difficult to understand Phlippe - the coach and player just don't get on and that is the end of El Ham's career @ Ajax.

So Jamcocteau there are no problems in the likes of Turkey, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, Russia, Germany and Belgium then.

I will hold you to that drink - lets hope it is to celebrate a victory. As to your statements you are entitled to your views (even though you are Scottish) just as the middle class twat is. BTW it seems that you are categorising rugby fans into middle and above - I can assure you that at least at th...

Interesting article on COYS website. Don't necessarily agree with all the points but a most hit home Interesting read but just a bit biased - the writer is obviously a Rugby Union fan (he describes his 'local' team) and I don't think he actually likes football. I'm not aure anyone over primary scho...

Totally different types of games with a number of different players that are meant to be 50 over specialists.

One question for you regulars have you flown Easyjet and are they ok . From Gatwick its either BA (hope they are not planning a strike) or Easyjet. Will book my flight in the next couple of days but thought I would ask about Easyjet . Haven't been for a tear or so but unless anything has changed Ea...

Feel a 1-0 defeat coming on for us tonight.

It seemed to me that we out muscled them in the tackle and then used the ball well. A very good win indeed

Saints then didn't turn up for the second-half at all. It was totally bizarre and frustrating to watch. It just goes to show that any game that involves human beings can be so random. The mental side of the game is so important. IMO this is the one area that we have been deficient in over the past ...

Confused here - on other threads we all seem to agree that we are a poor team by Ajax standards and then all of a sudden on a Sunday afternoon in mid-February we appear to get really upset because guess what ...........our play equates exactly to a team that is poor. Lads just accept it that the cl...

Just read a thingy about a battle between West Ham and Tottenham: they both want to play the new Olympic Stadium... That is beyond me. If you have a fantastic home ground like Upton Park or White Hart Lane, why in the name of Christ would you want to play a horrible UFO with a running track around ...

I know this will shock some of you as I have posted for years but I am going to finally come over to Amsterdam , before the end of the season.I keep putting it off but as its my 60th birthday this month the wife says I can go on my own as its football. I was originally looking at Heracles on 3rd Ap...

I can see no logical reason for being optimistic : we lost Emanuelson and Suarez. Stekenlenburg and van der Wiel will leave at the end of the season. Maybe others like De Zeeuw and Verthongen will follow. The management of the club has no intention of investing in worthy new players. It’s only due ...

I am not too sure that we are missing a striker. From what I have seen this season we have been fairly adept at taking the chances, but what we have missed in spades is creativity. Remember Suarez was more than just a goalscorer unlike say Huntelaar (but remember Huntelaar's goals to chances was not...

My god I didn't realise that Feyenoord were that bad - I think that Braintree Town would give Ajax a better game

Today (weather permitting) is the day for the biggest "classic" in the world if not the universe - namely Braintree Town versus Bishop Stortford in the Bet Square South League. The importance of the match is highlighted by Braintree asking for supporters to clear the pitch of snow - with the support...

Which one is you in the photo?

Hey guys, Just had a quick question for the English fans around here. Do you happen to know how I can get tickets for a home game of Leeds United? I want to visit the game against Middlesbrough on the 1st of January and I was looking around how to buy tickets from Holland, but I can't really find t...
