Considering they could have gotten Bayern or the Gooners, Benfica certainly isn't the worst of it. I'm sure they aren't fancied to go thru, but this is probably the most interesting tie of the final qualifying round (given that Udinese basically sold off the entire squad).

Lightbulbs are 3-1 down as I pen this!!

And that's the final score: the municipality of Eindhoven lost to AZ.

Seeing Poepon today and Wormgoor De G's defender both ex Ajax youth reminds me that someone on Ajax Netwerk the other day listed over 40 ex Ajax youths in the current first team squads of the other eredivisie teams. NAC must have the most as their team today has Bonevacia, Jozefzoon starting also Schilder and Koenders . Hope they do well and beat Twente today.

Typical Twente. Shutdown d and take advantage of an opportunity, a foul in the box resulting in a pk , and they walk out 0:1 winners.

Wasn't Wormgoor the player who was involved in a changing room dispute over some stolen gambling money with one of the other players? I seem to remember this happening three years ago but cannot remember the players involved. The one who took the money was immediately dismissed from the squad.

Manucharyan owed Wormgoor some money but would not pay up so Wormgoor took the money from his wallet in the training room without permission. Maucharyan complained and Wormgoor was sacked. I think that is roughly the story

That's correct.

Yup. Not a good thing to do from Wormgoor. As a matter of fact: it was a very stupid and wrong thing to do.

But let's face it: there is no way in the world Klaas-Jan Huntelaar would have been sacked for the same thing.

It was class-justice, no matter how you look at it.

K.

Don Vito should've just sneezed in poor Edgar's presence. As injury prone as he was , he'd probably have pulled a hammy... or done something a kin to a Frank Rost (Red Bull keeper who reportedly injured self recently while sitting on a plane).

I'm sure i've just read that Sergio Romero has been given a free transfer by AZ?? surely we should be looking at maybe him as a new recruit?

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1549/rest-o ... s-imminent Shit even with their crippling financial state, light bulbs have been more diligent in securing reinforcements. Meanwhile we still don't have an adequate back up in central defense and our second goalkeeping choice is a man they call Pizza. I can't stand thinking light bulbs can become champiosn again UGHH no I hate it, despite traditional rivalry with F-word, it is light bulbs who I detest the most really.

Err......whats wrong with a man being called Pizza?

Nothing as long as you don't have any intention of becoming a goal keeper :)

Twente are 2-1 down at the minute.

twente and Benfica end 2-2 tied up. Ruiz tied the game with ten minutes to go.

Two away goals look good for Benfica. Twente has an uphill battle next week in Portugal.

Harry Rednapp was at the match today scouting Ruiz. I'm afraid that Twente will suffer greatly is Tottenham swoop in for him as I can't see who will pull their bacon out of the fire.

PSV have taken on Tyton , Roda goalie on loan. Several of you guys thought him good. I believe that because of their financial problems had Roda got a transfer fee it would have gone to debtors but a loan means PSV pay his wages in full plus a loan fee that Roda can keep. Option to complete the transfer in a year

So twente gave heerenveen a spanking at the abe lenstra, amking our own demolishing of the friese team look less impressive. I'm starting to get wary about twente, seems like they're playing better than last year and are having no trouble defeating eredivise opponents.

now light bulbs are running all over ado...bad weekend.

twente down 0-2 to benfica who are all over them. looks like we'll collect some extra cash in the CL

3-1 Twente lose at Benfica.
