Our central defense was terrible. I'd say give van der Hoorn a chance in Almelo, with Veltman back.

IMO Poulsen was match of the match. Not only because of his goal, and his assist, but moreover because he showed how a good DM can be crucial.
Denswil had a very poor game.

Eventually, there was some real football yesterday, and not only this CL fat cats masquerade.

I hope Philips will catch up with fayenord.

In spite of the fact that he scored the goal (from a set piece -- still nothing from open play), Denswil has been a real liability on defense. If it were up to me, I would replace him sooner rather than later. He had to cover up for both Boilesen and Blind who were terrible at fullback today; they ...

Great game by Vermeer, of course. Hope he'll play the final.
No second yellow card nor penalty for Veltman, who did not touch the AZ striker. à la Balotelli move. I can't undertand why Blind shouted at him as he left the pitch.
On our way for the double !

Sending Hoesen away on loan was wrong decision. Let's get him back at the end of the season.

Don't start this again . We had a great game vs AZ, and a quite good one vs. feyenord.

Here's the game after Salzburg !

We're on our way !

Good we could score just before HT. Poulsen will play an important part in the middle field. I don't think they'd have scored if Moisander had not been off the pitch. And I'm quite optimistic.

I don’t think red bulls have a better side than us. It’s just circumstances : their struggle for their national title is virtually over, so they can entirely focus on this Europa League thing. We on the contrary are fighting to secure one more title : AZ last Sunday, feyenord this week-end. They’re ...

http://supportersnotcustomers.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/ajaaz8.jpg No one really cares about this second class UEFA competition (what matters - apart from being Dutch champions - is qualifying for the CL, and then getting through the group phase). Even less after the terrible home game. Even less...

A total lack of motivation, that's all. On the contrary these red bull guys looked quite sharp. Good news : we can focus on the Dutch league. Bad news for our UEFA ranking. Who cares for this stupid Europa League ?

All right. We just won three championships with Vermeer as goalie. No big deal.

SPL schreef:Hoesen has said he still hopes to make it at Ajax as things could change in the summer with de Jong and Bojan both likely going.

FDB said there was no option to sell ...

Yes, there is one according to Ajax.nl : De Griekse club heeft tevens een optie tot koop bedongen.

SPL schreef:PAOk have Huub Stevens as coach and have this month taken Hedweges Maduro which may explain why he chose Greece over Italy or Belgium.

Would rather have him than Siggy in my side (...)

Bad news, and IMO Ajax' first big mistake in a long time.

Hoesen has now played too many 1st team games so cannot play anymore Jong games. With Siem nearly fit and Siggy Bojan ahead of him Hoesen is not going to get much more playing time this season so maybe a loan . IMO Hoesen is a much better player for Ajax than Bojan. And maybe even than Sigthorsson....

Hoesen leaving on loan ? That would be a big mistake from Ajax.

very interesting article. Thanks. Worth mentionning we missed Siem De Jong ...

It's not luck but the strange UEFA rules : we are among the "worst" 3rd from the CL due to goal difference.
So we'll get a tough opponent for sure.

Let's concentrate on the Dutch League.

Very disappointing but Milan ,who are a very dirty team ,had just too much experience at this kind of situation .As soon as the thug got sent off for trying to finish Poulsen's career you knew they would stick 10 men behind the ball and kick us . Our attack was far too lightweight until we threw Si...

juventus out ! Sneijder scored at 86' !

Let's kick Milusconi's ass and make it a great day for football !

Yes we can !
