29 Nov 2009: Vitesse - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

This is a 'potential banana skin' if you ask me...

Ajax are on a roll and Vitesse are an opponent we must normally beat. But the Gelredome is a tricky place, we've had some bad experiences there and Vitesse were a very tough nut for FC Twente to crack this weekend (1-0, Twente's goal was scored in the dying minutes).

Beware, Ajax!

12:30 CET kick-off, by the way.

PSV and Twente won, so the pressure is all on us. We're not doing good with the pressure last couple (5 more likely) years..

Yup. We can't afford to drop any points today. This is a must-win. But we already knew that.

Seems like every week is a must-win. Let's hope we can keep it up and that the other two crack somewhere along the line.

[Kowalczyk]

Seems like every week is a must-win.

Yep. Very true. That's the situation.

PSV and Twente are not dropping any points, so we will have to do the business in our home games against them. Until then, we must make sure that the gap doesn't any bigger than it is now.

Six behind Twente, four behind PSV... it is still possible, but if the gap gets any bigger than that we're fucked, if you ask me.

By the way: I predicted from the start that we will have a pretty good season, but that PSV will win the title. I didn't count on Twente, though.

I predicted third -- but I hope we can do better than that.

[NE_Ajax_Fan]

Still have to play psv and Twente at home so all is not lost, like people have said its a case of keeping a manageable points gap to those two - continuing today.

ESPN 360 have the match listed but it's not on right now. I can't get the usual NVS 1 stream on SopCast. Anyone have a stream right now?

[rjf1]

Lousy sense of judgement on Steks part.

[Orange14]

Nevermind. Got NVS 1 up right now.

[Kowalczyk]

Ah, cool. Nice one.

1-0 down.

Thats why we signed him - cracking finish from Pantelic.

[Van basten]

Pantelic!

[Orange14]

Well that was pretty quick on the second keeper. Nice stricke by pantelic

[rjf1]

All right -- got the goal back nice and early -- now to take the game.

[NE_Ajax_Fan]

hahahaahh get in there Pantelic!

[Orange14]

Holy cow, we may finally have the striker we need. Pantelic again on a header from Anita. 2-1
