[Kowalczyk]

Yes, I know: season has hardly started... etc.

But it's true: the first Classic of the season.

Any of our American friends who knows whether this game will be broadcasted and if so, where? I'll be in Orlando this weekend I would like to see the game.

Sadly, since Setanta doesn't have eredivisie anymore, you'd have to hope that it's showing at a pub somewhere.

[Blind3]

Looks like Ajax aren't the only ones who'll be missing a player or two. I believe I read that Vlaar was injured and De Guzman was suspended. Is this right ?

[Thijs]

They're not the only two, Blind3. Also El Ahmadi, Landzaat and perhaps Hofland are injured.

[Kowalczyk]

If I would have to name one Feyenoord player that I would like to see in an Ajax jersey it would probably be De Guzman. He's suspended.

On top of that: two central defenders injured (Vlaar/Hofland), plus their second best midfielder (El Ahmadi).

We really should destroy them...

[Thijs]

Giovanni van Bronckhorst is also injured (headinjury), according to feyenoord.nl

[Cedric]

But it seems that Hofland could play.

Enoh will be in the squad, instead of Siem de Jong.

[Jeroen126]

Hofland is shite.

[SE6Ajacied]

Hup Ajax. It would be good if we could replicate this result tommorrow http://www.ajax.nl/web/show/id=154417/contentid=67432 :hupajax.gif:

I'd love to see that highlight film. Nothing like a good pasting. That said, I'd set for the score of Birmingham v. Blackpool, which I gather was 0:1 .

Yep That's three wins in the last three for the mighty 'Pool, and a 1-0 win away at Brum is really good, considering they had us as joint favourites (with Barnsley) to go down this year and considering Birmingham were joint top and are favourites to go back to the Premier.

Early days but the Seasiders are flying high(ish). Watching the highlights tomorrow morning will set me up nicely for main event.

Edit: Forgot the Burnley game That should be three wins out of four

Very disjointed so far -- can' put two passes together. The effers look the more dangerous at this point.

[bluedaddy19]

A goal out of nowhere! 0-1 for the good guys! de Dler loused up and the next thing you know it was in the back of the net.

[aveslacker]

GOL! Sarpong!

[Van basten]

Sarpong!!!

[Van basten]

that should be red card and that cunt still was unhappy that ref gave him a yellow!

He wasn't the last defender -- another defender had gone behind him in front of the goal before the foul was committed. So a yellow is the appropriate call, unfortunately.

Really? If you're through on goal vs. the keeper the defender gets a red card... so if there's only one defender back shouldn't the keeper get a red?

[gordonvandekamp]

Nice goal by Sarpong. Created by him and Suarez from a poor Feyenoord clearance. Our defense has been looking OK, doing their bit to get back and defend. Sno seems a step late on almost all his challenges. Leonardo hasn't looked to effective and I hope he gets subbed out.

IIRC the rule is that if the last defender commits a foul on a player that is otherwise through to the goal, he gets a red. In this situation, however, the keeper was out of the box and there was another defender behind him, so the keeper wasn't the last defender.

Crap... pretty embarassing way to concede a goal
