Yeah, but our position in pot 2 is still a bit shaky, I think... We need a few surprises: big teams that don't make it, smaller teams that finish in the top 4 of their countries (Osasuna, etc.). Our position in pot 2 does not feel 100% 'natural'. If we do well this year, we might settle ourselves i...

Here are the UEFA co-efficients for the coming CL season - 1 Barcelona (Spa) 127.0pts, 2 Real Madrid (Spa) 120.0, 3 Inter Milan (Ita) 112.0+, 4 Liverpool (Eng) 105.9*, 5 Arsenal (Eng) 101.9*, 6 Man Utd (Eng) 100.9, 7 Valencia (Spa) 95.0*, 8 Lyon (Fra) 89.7. Second seeds: 9 Porto (Por) 87.5, 10 PSV E...

I could make it to the game. I hope we get enough people.

This is some scary shit. I mean I know they were missing Vidic & also had squad troubles but this is crazy. Also they were down to 10 men.

Holland better pull up their socks for next wednesday.

Holy crap. The Argies have now hit 6 against Serbia.

Has anyone else observed the fact that the english version of the Ajax.nl website is getting updated with news items almost everyday?

They seem to be finally doing their job now.

If anyone wants to watch the Ajax - Inter game in NY, they're showing it at Dempsey's Pub in midtown. :cheer:

I'll be heading over at like 3.

This is so strange. I'm originally from Bombay, India & the native language in Bombay is Marathi.

The word for pineapple in marathi is the same as that in swedish - ananas!!!

Well, if you consider the words 'take' & 'bring' in relation to a destination, then you can use both - eg. I'm going to take a 12-pack of beer with me or I'm goig to bring a 12-pack with me. Now, according to me, the usage changes when you take into consideration the location of the person you're ta...

I saw the highlights of the Turkey v Switzerland game & the stuff which happened after the game was seriously shameful. Just as the players were running off the field while dodging stuff which being thrown at them, Alpay (I think it was him) ran at a swiss player from behind him & kicked him in his ...

Picked this up from the UEFA press kit. The inaccurate bit isn't really shocking, but possesion figures are way up there. If only one of the strikers remembers how to start putting those chances away. • Ajax have proved to be the most inaccurate team in front of goal with 36 shots wide in their open...

Not that I want to sound like a know-it-all asshole, but if you use 1756 & 1755 next year, it'll still work.

Interesting observation - the world's largest democracies viz. USA (with respect to size) & India (population) are 44th & 106th respectively.

Its strange to see strife-ridden countries like Angola & Nicaragua have more press freedom than India.

Strangely though, Ajax stuff has been popping up in the Macy's here in NY. The ugly away kit was available for a good 6-8 months. Also, saw some Ajax stuff(ugly away colours) in a discount chain (Marshall's) two weeks ago. I would say that we are among the top 5 most visible teams which Adidas sells...

So finally we get a 4-1 with two goals coming from the strikers. Is this where we turn a new leaf or is this another false start (hopefully not... :eusa_pray: ). Just noticed that Roda are having a really shitty start to the season.

Waiting for the ultrasuid highlights now.

I don't know if you guys have already seen this, but here's the latest thing which AJAX stands for - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML... :D . Its like a few years down the line, technology is going to take over all our names & make acronymns out of them. :worshippy:

Finally...do you guys know of any stream.

Also we won the "Soviet Union Cup" in 2003 :worshippy:

Well, they had Raul Bravo as a defender, who I think was
& still is the best comic genius cum defender.

I'm not passing judgements on Filipe, but Real's signings have stopped making sense a long time ago. Currently they have 5 forwards!!!!!.....Raul, Ronaldo, Owen, Robinho, Baptista.

Just saw the Live 8 concert on tv....seeing Floyd together after so many years......man it was seriously emotional.

They were the only people who VH-1 & MTV didn't screw up while they were in their performance ( like cutting to go to a commercial break).......finally a show of respect.

Yowza!!! Well if they can come back from 3-0 down to beat an Italian team, that too in a final, then they really deserve it.

We are now in the shoot-outs. How shocking!!! ......not

Ahhh, what the heck. Make the eyeties suffer. We'll win one in the next couple years.

I still wouldn't count my chickens though, there's still extra time & penalties left the way it stands now.

Its 3-2 now !!!!! :X :blush: This is more like it. So now Liverpool will equalize & then Milan will win it in the 123rd minute. Where have I seen all this before? I'm not Italian football's biggest fan, but Liverpool have been playing stuff which is worse than catenaccio Holy crap its 3-3 already.

So ummm....Liverpool are getting spanked in the final. I'm not watching the match, but is it really as lop sided as it looks?

Well anyway, I really didn't want Liverpool to get their 5th CL title before we got ours. This way we are still on the same spot on the 'Most CL medals won list.'
