Yep, I thought the two goals stood as very isolated random incidents. We were really poor throughout the game, gave the ball away much too often, played without self-confidence or elan. Bear in mind we scraped a win at home against a team that has a very high chance of being relegated from Ligue 1 t...

Equalizer is coming boys, let's hope we can hang on for a draw.

Ajax playing like shit, but are winning 2 - 0 anyway.

Football's a funny old game.

Anders Lindegaard is Manchester United's number 1 target for next summer, (or possibly even this winter, after van der Sar's catastrophic blunder yesterday), so Steks is mostly likely going to Arsenal, I reckon.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, M.P. When you talk to people about Oranje in the World Cup they never mention football, it's all about van Bommel's multiple brutal fouls and De Jong's drop-kick.

I think this has embarrassed the KNCB, and they are looking to change Oranje's image.

Enoh was my man of the match, he just concentrates on doing the simple things well. He gets the ball off the opposition and gives a simple pass to one of his (relatively) more creative team mates. He reminds me of a young Claude Makelele. Every team needs an Enoh. Unfortunately, every team also need...

Seedorf was definitely off-side, and it looked to me as if Ibrahimovic controlled the ball with his upper arm. But anyway, Ajax defend in a flat line too close to the half way line, this makes them very vulnerable to the ball dinked over their heads into space. The warning signs were there for all t...

Cracking game of football, probably the best I've seen in any league so far this season. Pretty good result, all things considered.

Milan have 'issues' at the moment. Coach Massimiliano Allegri has a very distinctive playing system with three up front, and the Milanese players are struggling to come to terms with it. Likewise, at his previous club Cagliari, he lost the first five games straight. Untypically, the Cagliari board f...

Apart from the result it was all rather sad wasn't it? De Kuip looked half full, and this Feijenoord side would struggle to survive in the English Championship. They stayed in the game via violence and intimidation rather than playing football. Why Bahia wasn't red-carded for the elbow assault on (I...

But Ajax displayed a total lack of guts and confidence. Completely agree. There were roughly three categories of Ajax player last night. 1. Those Ajax players who played as if they felt they were not worthy to be on the same pitch as Real Madrid. (Enoh, De Zeeuw, El Hamdaoui, van der Wiel, Sulejman...

I don't think that this Real Madrid team is all that good, they may just struggle to get out of this division ahead of Auxerre. Certainly I can't see them making it past the Q.F.'s unless they improve out of all recognition. Ajax just don't belong in this competition. Like MSK Zilina, Hapoel and Bra...

Anita was the closest man to the scorer... Anita WAS the scorer, ultra-slow-motion replay showed that conclusively. Unlucky goal, but no more than R.M. deserved. We need to find some control of the midfield from somewhere, the two forwards have had no service whatsoever, though Suljemani has looked...

Not a bad time to be playing Real Madrid, the team hasn't really jelled yet, and both the team and Jose came in for some serious stick from the home fans last weekend.

Ajax are going to have to find a way of stopping Mesut Özil, their best player by far.

Stop Özil and you've got a chance.

I think it's an exciting group, I'm really looking forward to it.
And it least it's not fucking Inter again.

I want Elizabeth Lambert to have my babies…

This is her..

...I love her already.

As long as Ajax don't draw fucking Inter Milan again I'll be happy, we always draw Inter, it's so fucking boring.

I think Ajax's best player was the referee, certainly a 'thuisfluiter' - but hey I'll take it, we have been shafted so often by shit referees over the years, we deserved this break. It's karma I tell you. Impressed by Stekkers who seams to have got over his early-career problems of 'freezing' in imp...

Shame, Anita is the best defensive player on the squad.

Can I just big up Vurnon Anita for a moment?

He's a proper defender! who knows how to time a defensive tackle, not just some frustrated winger. He's the best looking left back we have had for some years.

If the Suarez - El Hamdaoui partnership doesn't work out (and I agree it's idiotic to give up on it after one game) it should be Suarez that we get rid of - not El Hamdaoui. We know that Suarez is going to be with us one more season max, so then if teh partnesrship doesn't work out we should sell Su...

This game is live on SKY, fellow U.K. based Ajacieden.

A true story, I can tell you. He actually did throw a pair of scissors at Zlatan once. In the dressing room at the ArenA. Not that it matters a jot, but I heard that it was actually a bandage razor, and it was at Celtic Park before a C.L. game. Looking at the various 'personalities' around at that ...

Jol and Bradley are seen as the two most serious Villa candidates over here. This is going to happen everytime a vacancy comes up in the U.K. everyone knows that this is where Jol actually wants to be. Now we can see the folly of not allowing Jol to go to Fulham when he wanted. This is going to cont...

really, dude? is this not just a bit dramatic?

I would love to be wrong, but I have a horrible feeling this is shaping up to be August 2004 all over again. The board made a serious mistake in not letting Jol go.
