Also, do we know the people responsible for the Union Jack in the uitvak?

I have been very proud this of this particular team. They had a poor start but have been nothing but awesome for the past 3 months. I was almost about to change my signature at the bottom, but don't want to jinx them

Crappy game.
3 points.

Period.

well we should have won easier against a very poor team but we looked lethargic and not great . I am not complaining thats 12 wins in arow and 16 undefeated. 2 more wins and lest hope Twente draw a game .

At the start of these 12 wins no one would have predicted we would be just 1 point off the top at this stage.I will still be very happy with 2nd but our current form deserves the title 98 goals only 19 let in .

OK, rubbish game but I really REALLY enjoyed it. We couldn't really have asked for an earlier goal even if the penalty was a bit dubious.

Best commentary line BTW was when according to ESPN Pantelic got tackled from behind by the invisible man

PSV have just drawn so we are now 5points clear of them and 2nd place is now just about certain .

Twente are getting nervous. I don't expect much help from Feyenoord in Enschede, but NAC has only lost three times at home all season. Down to the wire.

Strangely enough - Feyenoord's home (7-6-2) and away records (8-6-2) are almost identical. I'm actually expecting Twente to drop points in Rotterdam.

Plus Jan Dahl Tommason is back for Feyenoord which should help their attack.

Don't wait for that to happen. Twente could drop points in their home game against Feyenoord though. ;)

...errmmm... I meant at home against Feyenoord.

Our great Scottish meeja would have given 'Charlie' Purcell the benefit of the doubt if he'd claimed not to have inhaled.

Decent result, but games v Heracles and NEC will be way more difficult.

Don't bet on it. If it came down to the wire I would fully expect them to fold like Vitesse did in 2007.

Vitesse played against the number 3 at the time, NAC will probably play against the leader : like Excelsior in 2007.

Some may say the boys didn't have that great of a game vs II, but I saw three things in that game that were never present in the last several years - and even in the beginning of this year:

1. We didn't get physically pushed around the way we always used to.
2. We fought for the ball on every play instead of standing around and letting the other team get all the loose balls and second balls -- this probably relates to point 1.
3. Our central defense held firm and didn't fall apart under pressure to allow a stupid goal.

So, for me, it was a very positive game -- even though from an aesthetic point of view it was "crap" (as someone said).

Also, I have a gut feeling that the cockroaches are going to lend us a hand and hold Twente to a tie. We shall see about that one.

Was in Seattle for a Brad and Friends show. Thankful for the football match score ticker during the Barca v. Depor match. Actually kept up with the Eredivisie. What a relief !! One less banana skin. C'mon you ROOD EN WIT BEAUTIES !!!!!
