Well, after this forum was hijacked for so long by Dutch fans... 


(By the way, why didn't you create your own "who will win the Dutch League" post?  Was it perhaps because only three people would have made any comments? Embarrassed )

Liverpool finally made good on one thing:  We beat Chelsea in the FA Semis 

You'll Never Walk Alone!

Yep revenge is mine. Having had to suffer all the flak from Utrecht and Feyenoord supporters this season, I am finally going to collect on my bets with them. After sunday I hope to collect three crates of beer, 2 for betting that Ajax will end higher than F***noord and one for betting we would end up higher than Utrecht (that was a bet of 2 months ago) Grin
BtW AZ was also quite an upset. Will we now get Groningen in the CL Shocked

In Dutch competition I only have one emotion: nostalgy to the 70's, when my favorites were (almost) a European topteam.
But you must be a happy man, Ajax having defeated Feijenoord for the first time this season.

Willempie, how does it feel, to depend on Feyenoord's good will, when it comes to reaching a place in the Champions league?  Grin

So Mnb how does it feel after all your puns to see Ajax in the play-offs? Wink

Stuntelaar is top scorer btw with 33 goals Cool

If we win all we qualify, but it will be tough. Though for that we need a decent ref. Not the one we had yesterday. Angry

But weren't the 70s sweet for Liverpool fans?  The '77 team that beat Borussia Moenchengladbach for the European Cup has to be my favourite Liverpool side of all time, and one of the best British teams ever.  Ah, nostalgia.....

By the way, according to the computer I voted for Liverpool to win the League Championship on December 31st, 1969.  For the record:  I knew there was such a team as Liverpool in 1969 but was unaware of the football league.  That's possible because I was born in 1963 to a Liverpudlian mum, but didn't start living in England until August, 1970.   

Having said all that, I would have chosen Liverpool to win the league in the 1969-1970 season.  And I would have been wrong then, too. Lips Sealed

England was once the perennial favorite to win the sportsmanship award at the World Cup.  While the English still haven't fallen to the level of some leagues, I doubt they will win such an award any time soon.  I wonder if that Roma player (whom I didn't see) has any chance at all of playing that Summer league tournament in Germany?

Anyone seen that Roma chappy, who went to the referee to say his goal should be disallowed for hands? Quite a contrast with the Chelsea theatricals.

The second Merseyside Derby was won by... the referee.  My team, Liverpool, collected the three points but the ref stole the match from both sides.  What a disappointing game.  I wonder what it will take for the FA to put him into the second division where he belongs.  He's been the face of too many soccer games this season.

Is, besides among Dutch, this quote known?

After a question of a reporter:
"Am I that smart, or are you so dumb?"
