Since we can't seem to have boring days at Ajax, the latest bombshell is that Michel Van Praag also apparently owned Ajax shares when he was not supposed to. Not going to get into details. Now the Board of Directors which controls 73% of the shares of Ajax, is looking to bring back Kroes and fire t...

Since all the fair weather Ajax supporters are probably done for the year, I'll be their portal for information. Ramaj suffered a fracture in his elbow and is out for some weeks. He said he would like to return to the team but it's unlikely. van't Schip has to decide between the unreliable Rulli or ...

One final coda to yesterday's match. Other than Bergwijn, all the other players who started and subbed on were under 22 years old. As I noted in the match report, this is probably the youngest Ajax team ever and young players are going to make mistakes, particularly with an unsettled starting lineup...

This had to be one of the youngest starting 11 ever to wear an Ajax shirt. Even all the substitutes were really young as well. Of course, Ajax did fail at the end of the match like so many others this season and could only come away with one point. Maybe Ramaj could have punched the ball away, but i...

Would say if this is our team on Sunday I will predict a 5-1 defeat .

Not necessarily. Feynoord have eight players our injured right now and it's not clear that any of them will be healthy for Sunday.

EDIT: They played a nil draw at Vollendam.

World class volley from Gaaei and Ajax clinging to a 1-0 lead. they had a bunch of shots with Godts hitting the post. Very few errors but with this team then need to have ZERO errors.

Kroes is now in hot water with the Dutch FA. When he was at AZ he bought shares in Ajax which was against the regulations. He is either just stupid or trying to make a fast bit of €. He apparently also was a large shareholder in Go Ahead Eagles where he worked prior to AZ.

The league is just crazy this year. AZ got thumped 5-0 away to Heracles today.

Berghuis definitely out for the two matches this week. Brobbey out of Thursday's game and iffy for Sunday. Sutalo is fit (don't know whether this is a blessing or not). Medic is also healthy. Sosa has been sick and is questionable. Henderson out for the two games and is being treated in England.

Last 4 its Excelsior home,Volendam away ,Almere at home and Vitesse away.Anything less than 12 points max from these games and every player should be sacked. If you cannot beat these sides then you are not fit to wear our shirt(Brobbey,Hato and Ramaj excluded) I forget the year, maybe 2015 or 16 wh...

I think this is a very complicated issue and one that will play out in the courts. I'm not trusting anything I'm reading right now. I don't know what the insider trading regulations are in Holland. It also appears that he held a significant amount of Ajax stock before he even bought the disputed num...

Total s**t show!!!!!

Here is a great podcast on the first American to every play for Ajax, Eddy Hamel: https://www.belhamelpodcast.com/home He was a right winger who played under Jack Reynolds in the 1920s and later coached the precursor to FC Voendam and several other Dutch clubs during the 1930s. He was likely the fir...

2nd half goals from Johnson and Steur give Ajax a well deserved win in the Futures Cup. The U-17s were dominant in the match but things got dicey at the end when the Partizan CB hit a Ronald Koeman rocket that found the back of the net from beyond the box. Ajax held on for the final three minutes to...

A win in Rotterdam will be welcome to those of us who have suffered greatly during this lackluster season.

Home to Marc Overmars's old club on Thursday as we head down the final matches of this dreary season. Brobbey still likely out for the game but Kaplan returns from his RC suspension. No word yet on Sutalo.

Only caught the last 10 mins ,Kovacs a big strong striker and mainly plays as a sub because Unuvar is first choice .

HIs volley off the cross was worthy of any outstanding senior player.

Only caught the 2nd half, but Ajax scored three to beat Pachuca and win the group. They will play PSG tomorrow in the semi-final. Partizan finished 2nd in the group.

Nothing is ever easy with this team! In the end, it looked like a convincing win by the score line but Ajax just sat back too often after going up 0-2 in the first 26 minutes. Akpom had two good goals and Hlynsson one but just maybe Tahirovic was the best man on the pitch today (wow, thought I would...

Good 20 minutes at the start with two nice goals and then things began to fall apart. Obviously, this team will only be favored with a four goal lead. According to van't Schip Bergwijn and Godts won't be able to play much more than 60 minutes if that. We'll see who comes in.

Pressure clearly on Ajax now as NEC defeated PSV 3-1. Cillessen even saved a PK!!! NEC are one point above Ajax now.

2nd match against FC Partizan ends up 1-1. Ajax were so much better than Partizan but just could not convert. there was some great play by the Partizan GK to keep a couple of Unuvar shots out. Ajax conceded a cheap goal early on when they turned the ball over at MF but still had players back. Howeve...

Just watched the first match of the Future Cup and Ajax U-17 defeated Man City 3-1. the game was closer than the score line indicates as Man City went up early with a goal off a cross that could not be cleared. Ajax finally equalized with a header by Bouwman off a GK deflection that came right to hi...

Three games, PEC, Go Ahead and Feyenoord inside a week, injury problems and NEC are only two points behind. Yikes.

From my old football (American) coach, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"

The Ajax Ladies were knocked out of the Champions League last night as they managed a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea. They played a much better match than the home game and had some very good chances on goal that just missed. They are four points behind Twente in second place and can lock up...
