Nice goal by Adebayor to pull one back for Arsenal

Despite a lot of Arsenal pressure, I think the back line did well. My worry right now is the Stek, he's giving up what looks like (on my computer screen) some balls that should have been caught. Still this half gives rise to optimism.

Hi guys. I was kicked off these boards, most likely due to inactivity (what a slacker), but now I'm back. And I bring bad news. Setanta US has dropped Eredivisie for the upcoming season (and I've obviously dropped Setanta from my cable package). So, North American Ajacied are screwed again, and wil...

wow, Arsenal has a pretty crowded schedule over the next five days. The Amsterdam tourney and then Twente in a CL qualifier on Tuesday. We probably will see lots of substitutions in the match.

Nice to see a sense of ruthlessness from Marco. Let's hope some of these players are picked up during the transfer period so we can get off the hook for some or all of their salary.

I have said this so many times now it is nearly losing all meaning. FIFA/UEFA - Need to get off their arses and introduce video replays of the games and issue retrospective bookings. They can say all they want about the referee having the final say, but I am so sick of players getting away with thi...

Very bad news. Sneijder injured his knee against Arsenal today and could be out of the fields for 6 months I watched both games of the Emirates tourney this morning. Hamburg looked very good against Juventus. Van der Vaart didn't play one minute either today or yesterday. However, he did lead the t...

I have just read some rubbish that Ajax will keep KJH for 2 years and let him leave for nothing in 2010 when his contract expires. Story came from Voetball International. i just read it on goal .com. What is this all about.? The "theory" is that with KJH they will qualify for CL play in the next tw...

Venezuelan Ajacied said: I sure hope he has grown and might still have a lot growing to do...that was one of his drawbacks as a defender. I wouldnt bank on him growing several more inches...since he is 19/20 :aai.gif: Remember that Cannavaro is the same height maybe a cm or two smaller and he's bee...

our friend Ogararu is outplayed by Overmars and that's pretty funny to see (if you're not an Ajax supporter). In fact, the whole Ajax team was outplayed by the old-timers (Ajax '95 and Holland '98) and went 3-0 down... Pretty painful... K. Did Bergkamp and de Boer play for Jaap Stam's team? What ab...

Beautiful grounds surrounded by all the trees. Unbelievable mistakes by the Excelsior goalkeeper!!

Looks like terms for Oleguer's transfer have been agreed to. Rather modest 3 million Euros with an additional 2 pending Ajax success in Champions League in the out years. I wonder if this is the last transfer. We still could use one more defender.

Interesting assessment of KJH on goal.com: http://www.goal.com/en-US/Articolo.aspx ... oId=784799

We had six or maybe seven players on the under 17 team in the recent Euro championships. Where are they in terms of progressing forward? As I recall good things were said about Rodney Sneijder.

Man U are going for Berbatov, Arsenal will never pay 25m euros for a player so I cannot see him in England. The only Italian team who would like him Roma ,cannot afford the transfer so if he is to go to a big team it will be Real or Barca. That's been pretty much my assessment. Trouble is he wouldn...

Van Basten has made KJH captain. That is: Van Basten announced that KJH will be captain. Klaas wasn't there for the first training (the Euro 2008 boys are enjoying an extra week off). Van Basten also said that he doesn't expect a KJH transfer. He said: "That would be undesirable. He has a contract,...
