It must be a win here! Dare I say it, but AZ can do us a great favour here.....

We've just got to re-arrange our summer vacation now...to fit in with the Champion's League qualifiers....in JULY!!!!!

Come on lad's....a win and we can afford a draw against AZ at the Arena....then the last game will be special!!

[SPL]

Vertonghen has a stomach/abdomin problem( if my translation is correct!!!! ) and wont play in either of our last 2 games . Gabri is the other out for the season.

For Sunday Urby has an ankle problem and is doubtful plus Leo is sick. Oleguer injured last week is training again.

I see Suarez and Vermaelen will miss the Twente game if booked on Sunday. we cannot afford to be without either v Twente.

[Kowalczyk]

The squad:

Maarten Stekelenburg
Bruno Silva
Oleguer
Thomas Vermaelen
Rasmus Lindgren
Urby Emanuelson
Miralem Sulejmani
Ismaïl Aissati
Kenneth Vermeer
Gregory van der Wiel
Luis Suarez
Rob Wielaert
Dario Cvitanich
Eyong Enoh
Siem de Jong
Leonardo
Vurnon Anita
Toby Alderweireld

It appears that Urby and Leonardo are fit. Gabri still injured. Jan Vertonghen is injured (abdomen) and out for the last two games. Rob Wielaert returns from a one game suspension.

truedat

if we can rack up a few and get a nice lead, i'd prefer to see them come out early

[Kowalczyk]

What about Enoh? Can he afford a yellow?

He's collected quite a few by now...

K.

[saddlerian]

It's a "must" today...3 early goals, then get Suarez and Vermaelen out of there...we'll need them for the Twente game.

Fast start ... plenty of pace and goals, then an early bath for the afore mentioned two....then it's roll on next Sunday!

Dreams.....aren't they wonderful???

[saddlerian]

Has anyone got a link for this game? Setanta aren't showing it!!!!

[Tom_]

I second the request for a link... ESPN360 won't let me log on today.

I'm watching it on Sopcast usual canal, i can't remember the numbers, but the channel is called NVS1. Great quality BTW.

[Orange14]

myP2P.eu doesn't list any Eredivisie links today and as noted ESPN 360 isn't live with any of the three scheduled matches this AM. this sucks!!!!

THANKS Ian!!!

[saddlerian]

good, clear link on sop://sop.rojadirecta.com:3912/74174 but NO sound!!!

[Orange14]

Well it clearly looks like Sparta are playing for 0=0. Ten men behind the ball. We are going to have to get the first goal to open things up.

[Tom_]

Cheers, the sopcast link is working for me and I've got sound...

Is this on fake grass?

[Van basten]

So far - 23 minutes of nothing.

[Cedric]

Is this on fake grass?

I don't think so. Only Heracles and Volendam have an artificial pitch if I'm correct.

[saddlerian]

Bloody Marvellous!!!!!!

[Orange14]

There are no words to describe what just happened. Un f****ing believable.

[Tom_]

Oh god... terrible mistake by Oleguer I think

Maybe that'll wake us up

[Van basten]

Nice. Let's fuck up everything before the last game. That would save us a lot of nerves.

[saddlerian]

Can it get any worse???

[Tom_]

Shitting hell

Just have to hope AZ will do us a favour from the look of this

[Orange14]

Twente-AZ are at 0-0, but I don't think that matters. We don't deserve anything from AZ today.
