European Opponents 2012-2013

Well up for Bucharest. Booking flights... NOW.

It's dirt-cheap over there. Two or three days on the piss for less than 100 euros. So I've been told.

Never been to Romania. Cool.

K.

Just watch out for the vampires!

After seeing bits and pieces of Chelsea's last two matches, I'm not sure that I want to see Ajax play them. The dismembered Leeds in the Cup 5-1 and pasted Aston Villa today 8-0 (it could have been worse except for some fine goalkeeping by US #2 Brad Guzan).

Just had a look at the current team ranking according to the notorious UEFA (latest update 2nd May).
Incredible.
We are number 27.
The calculation is based on the 5 latest seasons. As for the current season, Manchester City are awarded 10.2284 points. More than Ajax with 9.8428. I thought we were ahead of them in this season's CL...
Philips appear to get exactly the same total number of points as Ajax : 64.945.

F*ck the UEFA.

There is also a country part in the coefficient. And England has a better one than Netherlands.

I quote: "The UEFA team coefficients are calculated as the sum of the number of points of each individual team, and 20% of the country coefficient."

So it seems that Lyon could play Dinamo Zagreb on 4th Qualifying Round. That would be good fun, wouldn't it ?

I thought that Zagreb is banned from CL football for at least one season and that Besiktas and Fenerbache for two (though the Turkish teams are waiting a final decision from the arbitration court). Anyway, Lyon are playing Grasshoppers in the fourth round and PSV have drawn SV Zulte Waregem (never heard of them!).

EDIT: oops, I guess this is still a playoff round.

Zulte were in the uefa cup a few years ago, i remember them doing quite well, but got knocked out to newcastle, i remember watching it with a close friend who's a newcastle fan. also, more notably for us, we played them in the groups that year (we won 3-0 with huntelaar and heitinga scoring i believe). they are based in belgium, so only a short trip for those big spenders at psv

[afcajax73]

by the way, i just checked and it was indeed 3-0... we had a few decent players at that point....

Stekelenburg
Ogararu
Grygera
Stam
Emanuelson
Gabri
Heitinga
Sneijder
Perez
Huntelaar
Babel

Wow Tom de Mul. I remember he was good for us for a minute before he decided he was a little too good. Now he's made a grand total of 21 appearances in five seasons since he joined Sevilla. Good choice!
