Some random thoughts: It does not help that 3 of the team VDV,Maxwell and Trabelsi are all set to leave at the end of the season. Some players have been built up to be world beaters when they are not. VDV Sneijder and especially Heitinga. At the start of the season Heitinga was supposed to interest ...

Blind may have cocked up with buying players 5/6 years ago but we now have alot of young players coming through that he has coached. The team will know him and he is Ajax through and through. I hope the first job he does is to decide on the right position for Nigel De Jong . I only mention this as I...

I have been impressed with Jol in his short time in UK . Big problem with Spurs is that they do not have the finances to get into the European Champions League with Chelski, Moan u Arsenal, and the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle around. He will only ever have to be content to qualify for UEFA Cup ...

Thanks for the answer 'OPH' You quoted £70 for a season ticket, Menno said his season ticket to Ajax ,last season, was 170 Euros which is £ 110 approx. How incredibly cheap compared to england. I believe my nearest big pro team Brighton charge about £500 for a season ticket and they play in an athle...

RKC had 5 former Ajax players (all ex- reserves in fact ) in action yesterday, Greene, Krohn-Dehli, Rustenberg, Vermaelen( who scored a goal) and Elmas. Greene left a year or two ago but the others were all in our reserves last season (and indeed this season for Vermaelen) . In addition they have 2 ...

Please do not include me as a fan of Italian footy. Although I will be praying that AC Milan KO the moaning scum tomorrow .( so will most football fans in England) How come our friend Over Pasenens Head goes to watch Inter? They may be playing more attacking footy this season but for the last 40 yea...

A great man who gave the footballing world Total Football and thanks to him made Ajax a world class great football club.

Thank you .

We have to look forward now and aim for 2nd place. 3 points tomorrow will do. Overall the team lack confidence and can only do better can't they !!

I feel alot better now that Koeman has gone but it seems as though we have to start rebuilding. I agree with Ko that the forward line is ok but we need another left winger.The defence needs renewing as both full backs will go and we also need a good central defender. Then there is the midfield !! Sn...

A one off question - back in November against TelAviv ,I think, we had young Aborah come on as sub and for a raw 17 year old he looked good.He came on for an Ere Divisie game as well. He has played for the Jong team since January so is not injured but Emanuelson seems to have overtaken him. He would...

Got to say that Auxerre deserved to go through on the night. Babel's goal was superb but our only sniff at goal. MOM Stekelenberg He was brilliant and but for him we would have lost by 6. The defence was woeful, midfield not much better. Sneijder probably not match fit after an injury and Obodai!! w...

I only found out tonight that the Auxerre game is on British Eurosport. Great news a live game. Was not expecting any more live Euro games on TV.this season unless we get to the semis and meet Newcastle or Middlebrough.

Auxerre seem in poorer form than us as they lost to the bottom team this weekend.

A very interesting article I would just like to say thanks to Bertrand for translating.

Just thinking about the squad and how many could leave at the end of the season whether we are in Champions League or UEFA Cup. Trabelsi, Maxwell and Van der Vaart are almost certain , but Anastasiou and certainly one of the goalies (which one is for a seperate debate) will go and Obodai and Boukhar...

Good to see Maduro playing at this level. He must have been one of the only players on the park who has never played a league game.

Isn't it time Lindgren got a game for the first team?

Glad JOB got through 90 mins.Let's hope he can keep fit for the remainder of the season.

Back in middle of January I mentioned that I had seen we had signed a young Dane. Nothing appeared on the official site but the lad Per Weinbrauch is now with us and playing,and scoring for the A1.One for the future hopefully.

Just seen the goals on Eurosport. Nigel was caught badly for the first, he is not a central defender. The second was a goalkeeping disaster by Vonk. Always cruel when a goalie makes a mistake but that one cost us 2 points. The last bad goalie error was by Stelenberg v TelAviv and we haven't seen him...

I am even more depressed than last week as I now see us finishing 3rd as on the overall form of this season ,and I am judging 20 games, this team is not good enough to catch AZ as for PSV forget it. The team are going backwards under Koeman and have been all season. We should now start planning for ...

In response to the last post I do not think Arsenal have any agreement with Trabelsi. Lauren ,their regular rightback ,was possibly leaving as his contract was up this summer but he has now signed a new contract and as I said yesterday they have 2 other right backs.I do not think Trabelsi will go th...

Just to confirm that Arsenal have signed another right back Eboue aand have ayoung english lad Hoyte and still have Lauren so Trabesli wont go to Arsenal ,likely to go to Italy. I also think that Maxwell will end up in Italy, Chelsea are to sign a left back and I believe Cole is top of their list. H...

JOB played 90 mins on Monday against Utrecht and 74 mins yesterday v NAC.

I note one of the subs who made an appearance last night was a young A1 player Javier Martina. Any info on him,is he Dutch?
