Translation of an interview gave to Voetbal International for their Christmas issue, from the Netherlands World Cup Blog... http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/ Cheers, excellent intersting article. It's good to read something direct from one of the main protagonists rather than just the opinions o...

Has anyone tried livesport.tv ? They call themselves the 'official online broadcaster' of the Eredivisie. I'm in Australia, and it says they are the "official broadcaster in my country", so I'm guessing that will apply to places outside the Netherlands. US$90 per season, for streaming of every matc...

Someone forgot to check how this looked from outside the shop........Watrose supermarket from my hometown of Croydon.

Just wondered if anyone else has read Roland Reng's excellent book "A life too short" about Robert Enke. I'm about half way through, Frank de Boer is mentioned very briefly but comes out very badly.

I'm watching Fleetwood Town v Blackpool on Fox Soccer Plus (on the internet) - just wondered if anyone else is.....

Not seen this before - When Saturday Comes magazine website have a feature on goalscoring goalkeepers including a tremendous Stanley Menzo one.

It's here http://www.wsc.co.uk/. There's no individual thread link but at the moment it's the second post down on their homepage.

6 months in prison part suspended for Wesley van W, otherwise known as the prick who ran on the pitch against AZ.

A bit odd though that the 2 year "banning order" (report to the Police during the game) only applies to Ajax Oranje and AZ games.......

Reposting this that someone sent me - did anyone really doubt that this place existed.....

Well 2011 hasn't been great - lost my job, got chickenpox, got burgled, my dad's been sick, I could go on but won't.

The best bit is that my girl is now nearly 4 and it's Christmas time, a wonderful time for a nearly 4 year old.

Have a great day everyone and here's hoping for a wonderful 2012.

OK, so after all the drama with the AZ game we might need some humour back - here's a start from me - this actually came up after one of the clips from last night - pretty silly really and the commentators get a good laugh.

Paris St. Germain travel to a club called Saint-Colomban Locminé for the Coupe de France (French Cup). Saint-Colomban Locminé is an amateur side playing on the fifth (!) tier of French football. K. After my efforts when the PSG played Montlucon a few years ago (http://www.ajaxtalk.nl/Forum/viewtopi...

Just picking this up now - completely forgot about the game and just saw the story on the BBC before I realised it was Ajax that were involved. A few observations from me looking at it completely fresh today 1) I agree with SPL that in this countyr the goalkeeper would likely be charged by the Polic...

MP will be interested I'm sure that I've been to Sutton United v Notts County in the FA Cup 2nd Round today. Finished 2-0 to Notts though really it was a lot tighter than that and could easily have been a draw/ Only decided to definately go today and couldn't get a ticket for the home end so sat wi...

Thanks for the link - Dutch news in English reminds me a bit of the old BBC Newsround (TV New for about 11 year olds) at election time or whatever. It's the same news just a bit simplified lol.

Very sad news this - apparently hung himself. He was 42.

I've completed it too - spent a lot more than the ten minutes they suggested so let's hope they get something out of it....

Ha Ha Ha - This made me laugh. From the BBC Live Score Updates Feed.

I just can't believe this. I'll wait for a proper official translation of the whole thing. Hmm, but both Davids and Cruijff speak the same first language - Dutch, Not sure how you can mis-translate what Cruijff is alledged to have said anyway (given that he's not to have used any insulting/racist w...

I'm sure these are lies. Davids was too long with juventus. I think it's been confirmed now. :00001595.gif: Like I said it just gets worse! I don't know anything about Davids business skills or lack of them but it may well be a fair charge that he is there as some sort of token, but surely as a tok...

It was just announced in Studio Voetbal that according to Ten Have Cruijff said to Edgar Davids in one of the meetings: 'you are only here because you are black.' This in reaction to allegations of racisms within the RvC, voiced by Davids in an interview this afternoon. Cruijff vehemently denies th...

Not just me then, but I suspect it's very difficult to get anyone other than a complete outsider to write a completely unbiased account of procedings. It's difficult as well, whatever the mans flaws, not to feel a bit sorry for Cruijff given the way that LvG was appointed behind his back - very und...

A good and interesting summary, indeed. I don't see the 'slightly biased' in it. Seemed even handed in both the praise and criticism for each of them. I sense a touch more negativism when the author speaks about Van Gaals flaws or accomplishments and he seems a bit more lenient towards Cruyffs some...

Just read all the stuff about Cruijff and LvG on the other thread. With all that upheaval goinng on it's good to see that things are at least proceeding as usual and with some stability at planet FIFA....(As usual and once again), what a complete tool Sepp Blatter really is...... http://news.bbc.co....
