Ko, I might actually begin believing our Belgians 'R Us CB pairing is THAT GOOD if we keeping hanging zeros on the scoreboard .

[Cedric]

A kick-off time wasn't announced by Ajax Netwerk.

Now it is : it will be 20h45.

Tough period to play that game by the way: Zagreb - AZ - Dordrecht - Feyenoord - Zagreb - Twente . I will wait mid-november to trust our defence then.

Yes, that's a very tough string of games, with the Dordrecht one three days before the Classic...

[Kowalczyk]

F*ck me. AZ are really struggling against Hoofdklasse amateurs Spakenburg in the cup. 2-2 after 90 minutes. Game is in extra time. 3-2 to AZ now...

Will this be Ronald Koeman's last game as head-coach of AZ...?

Hopefully not

K.

[Rooie]

Hopefully not en probably not. Even if the board would like to sack him, the curator will say no to any expenses on that behalf.

[Cedric]

Less than 15 minutes left. Go Spakenburg!
Jong Ajax, Spakenburg. This KNVB Cup is almost more difficult than the Champion's League.

Edit: well, 4-2 now.
And in the end it's 5-2.

[Cedric]

Next round :

FC Groningen - NEC
Baronie - Sparta Rotterdam
FC Twente - Helmond Sport
Feyenoord - AZ
Heracles Almelo - Go Ahead Eagles
WHC - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Repot from Ajax Life.nl:

Ajax's fixture in the round of sixteen of the KNVB Cup, against amateur side WHC from Wezep, has been scheduled for Wednesday 23 December, kick-off time 18:30 CET. In the next few days it will be announced where the match will be played. WHC would prefer to play at their own ground, Mulderssingel sports park in Wezep, but their board are considering to move the game to the stadium of FC Zwolle. The cup fixture will be shown live on RTL7 in The Netherlands.

Draw for the quarter finals:

NAC Breda vs Go Ahead Eagles
Heerenveen/PSV vs Feyenoord
Sparta Rotterdam vs FC Twente
Ajax vs NEC

Ajax vs NEC - that's a very good thing, especially because we'll be without Luis Suárez. He picked up his second yellow card in the KNVB Cup and will be suspended for one cup game.

K.

[Blind3]

On paper a good draw for Ajax . I hope the lads are up for it when the time comes. barring a complete tanking by FCT and PSV, it looks to be the best shot at hardware.

[Kowalczyk]

Ajax vs NEC, in the quarter finals of the KNVB Cup, will be played at the ArenA on Wednesday 27 January, 20:45 CET.

Go Ahead Eagles beat NAC Breda 2-1, Twente were 4 0 up with 5 mins to go and Feyenoord are beating PSV 2 - 0 in Eindhoven with 35 mins to go.

Lets hope for Go Ahead Eagles in semis please

[Van basten]

So feyenoord crashed psv 0-3 this is the first psv defeat of the season, and i read that before this game, psv was undefeated in last 43 games! Fucking impressive.

[Cedric]

In the 39 last games. 43 is the record of Feyenoord, from the late 70's.

[jamcocteau]
