Football humor :-)

By: Jan | Comments 1 Comment

Football humor. It has always been part of the football culture, I guess…
Chucking reporters into the swimming pool, laying bricks (right…turds!!) in people’s shoes, putting shaving cream on cakes instead of cream, inviting colleagues to remote restaurants to be interviewed with non-existent journalists, pouring water over John Rep’s head while he’s being interviewed for tv…
Most [...]

Gary Lineker raves about Suarez

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Half an hour before kick off at Ajax-PSV (last week), two behemoths in goalscoring joined along the touch line: 140 international games and 72 international goals: Gary Lineker (BBC analyst) and Marco van Basten (Ajax coach). Two of the world’s best strikers ever…
Van Basten came out of the dressing room to welcome his former rival [...]

Lazovic: I’ll fuck your mother…. (nice one Danko…)

By: Jan | Comments 7 Comments

Who saw PSV play Ajax this weekend saw one Danko Lazovic come on in the second half, to prepare the equalizer in glorious form after four minutes. Nice dummy, Danko.
But, instead of celebrating the goal with his team mates (it’s about the team isn’t it, Danko?), he ran to the bench and shouted abuse to [...]

Not the best league, but surely exciting!!

By: Jan | Comments 4 Comments

Suarez scores the first goal: first touch with the left, finish with the right. He makes it look easy…
So, we don’t have the world’s best players in the Eredivisie. But we might have some of the world’s best future players… And, every match day is full of surprises!
How’ bout NAC? They did very well last [...]

PSV-Ajax, a top match… But, who will score?

By: Jan | Comments 2 Comments

Whatever their positions in the table or apart from the old rivalry between the two clubs, Ajax-PSV will always be an intriguing match. And the question that comes to mind is, who the hell will score a goal this match?
Both teams have their worries. Ajax is one of the most prolific clubs this season, but [...]

Feyenoord has confidence in their youth

By: Jan | Comments 6 Comments

Leroy Fer, Diego Biseswar and Luigi Bruins aren’t available against FC Twente. This means that Feyenoord could well start in Enschede with three A-junior players in the line-up. Forced, because normally no coach would throw his talents off the deep end like this. “But these lads are doing so well, and that’s a huge compliment [...]

Dutch Cup: Ajax and PSV are out!

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Van Basten knew before the match against Volendam that his team was in trouble. Ajax manages to create a lot of chances, but with KJH first lacking form and now injured until 2009 and his normal replacements injured or not yet fit, he wondered…who’s gonna score the goals?
Evander Sno was the man to replace the [...]

Ajax now is not Ajax 1995 (duh…)

By: Jan | Comments 4 Comments

By an AD-reader:
I am starting to get fed up with all the criticism on Ajax’ counter-attacking style, realism and AZ’s beautiful football. Look at the history of Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV and AZ and you’ll draw the following three conclusions:
1. Ajax is the most successful Dutch club ever
2. In the last seasons, PSV did better than [...]

Sno ready to replace Huntelaar

By: Jan | Comments No Comments

Volendam-Ajax will be a national cup match with only one real striker. Ajax puzzled and found a solution: Evander Sno will replace Huntelaar.
At Volendam, Jack Tuyp is the lone hunter up front.
The Hulk, or something like that… That’s the nickname Evander Sno earned in Amsterdam. The strong former Feyenoord talent will be leading the attack [...]

Luigi Bruins has to work for it…

By: Jan | Comments 3 Comments

Luigi Bruins working hard…
Gertjan Verbeek’s way of working brought the first team of Feyenoord a lot closer to the young talents of the club from Rotterdam. But, the distance from the Feyenoord elite to the B-team has shrunk as well. Luigi Bruins, last year starter for Feyenoord, has been relegated to the bench and played [...]
