If Blind stays, then the pressure will be on, when I say pressure I mean the dutch title, semi finals of the gatorade cup and/or semi finals of the champions league. I think he is only capable of the former, so it may well be in his own interest to leave on a high note. i.e. Gatorade cup and play off win....cheers

Last years FA Cup in England was certainly not entertaining.

The only time Arsenal went into Moan U half was after 120 mins to take the penalties, which they won.

The latest team news...

In Groningen Ajax will have to do without Maduro, Trabelsi, Rosales, Grygera and Manucharyan. Steven Pienaar is suspended (last game tonight; available for the cup final). Wesley Sneijder is fit.

Danny Blind said that Maduro might be back in time for the cup final. It seems highly unlikely that the other injury cases will see return to action this season.

Which means, in practice, that Trabelsi has played his last game for Ajax. And Grygera, too, probably. The club are generally expected to sell him this summer.

Nothing to fear everyone, we will eat Groningen tonight. Mind you they will put up a brave fight but not enough prediction 1-2 to Ajax, Huntelaar and Boukhari the goalscorers :yes:

The expectation is that they will start furiously. It would be great if Ajax stay calm and hit them hard on counter-attack really early in the game. They would then require four goals. One Ajax goal and it's over.

So, my suggestion is: let's not lean back and wait until the 'storm' dies down, but let's keep our eyes open and try to attack as soon as possible. They will be offensive in the opening phae, but they'll also be vulnerable.

I have a feeling that we'll kill this game really early.

Groningen are going to eat us alive if things dont change in the second half. My tip's for Danny Blind bring in Sneijder for Bouckhari and Babel for Rosenberg.

Cross youre fingers guy's :eusa_pray: it's going to be a bumpy ride :nooo: :sad: .

Yeah, I'm not liking the way this is going. That could have so easily been 2 or 3 nil there in the first half. :sad:

Boukhari asses up a likely free chance for Sneijder by getting in the way. This should have been 2-1.

Like they say in the Grolsch advert, you just have to be patient. Remember we are the last minute come back experts. Roll on the 119th minute! :eusa_pray:

Fucking relief... Orgasmic feeling with Wesley's goal, damn the kid can shoot. Well were in The Champs League, after this perfomance Danny Blind is on the way out and he knows it, his face said it all. I hope Bouckhari's red card means no Gatorade final for him, he was plain utter shit.I think every one will end up happy ;)

Give Groningen a lot of credit they scared the shit out off me, i've got no nails left and that includes my toe nails !!!!!!

Thank goodness for Wesley, Class is permanent.

I believe he said yesterday that he will stay 2 more years , just as well.

CL next season but we scrapped through against the 5 th place team. We are very lucky to be in the CL.

The only thing I feel right now is embarrassment.

No euphoria. No joy. Not even relief.

Only embarrassment.
