Oh it was Sevilla instead of Villareal! Embarrassed Boro got thrashed 4-0 Cry Oh well..... I suppose boro's luck finally ran out in Eindhoven.

Hmmm.... p'haps not luck...... Clearly Sevilla played miles better. All credit to a small footballing town nonetheless.

True! True! Maybe now they can try to lure back Cruyff or Beenhaker??

For now anyway, I'm more excited abt Boro-Viillareal! Go Boro go!

Anyway it is official now Blind is sacked. I personally like him, but I think this is the right decision. Some last-minute rescues cant take away that the team has played appallingly bad considering the players in the field.
  

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

No no, the best news is that we now have a striker who is (even) better than Van Nistelrooij. The 2 goals he made yesterday would have made Van Basten proud, especially the 2nd one.

The best news is still: Ooijer is back. See also FIFA thread.

We won the cup 2-1 Cool Cool Cool
2 goals of Huntelaar (do I hear dutch national team Grin) did it. One major complaint though, the refereeing was ridiculous at times (both teams suffered from this). Gave 2 red cards which werent warranted, gives a yellow for protesting, misses a kick in the face and some other stuff I forgot.

Indeed a pity, especially since in the 1st game Heerenveen didnt seem to try to cross the middle line

Leaves me absolutely cold. I like it though, when FC Twente defeats Ajax on its 100th anniversary.
PS Sadness, sadness. Heerenveen has eliminated my favourites convincingly.

"Come on Mnb even you must admit that Ajax is usually very decent in Europe."
Sure. That only adds to my dislike. But I remain an optimist; hence my profecy. And sometimes my profecies come true.  Wink
My dislike for Ajax disappears immediately, like snow in the sun, when its players are selected for the Orange team though.  Tongue

Come on Mnb even you must admit that Ajax is usually very decent in Europe. Whether UEFA or CL we almost always manage to get through past the winter.

Coming Sunday the cup final vs the lightbulbs in Rotterdam, that may be fun Smiley

I really cannot imagine why. No team deserves less to qualify for the Champions League than Ajax. I mean, if Ajax has so many problems with a modest team like FC Groningen, what will happen next season?
Don't worry. Ajax will be eliminated by some 3rd rate Spanish, English or Italian team in the preliminaries and maybe survive first round in the UEFA Cup next season.  Smiley
For your info, Woofwoof: dislike of Ajax is incurable. About one third of the population in The Netherlands suffers from it. Also one third is Ajax fanatic; the rest does not like football in general. This makes sure, that Eredivisie is fun every year, even if the level is clearly lower than in some other countries with too much money.

A 2-1 defeat at Groningen. Tongue But no matter, its 3-2 on aggregate to Ajax. Sneijder's strike in the 87th minute ensured no extra time. What a relief! We will have CL action next year (even if its a 3rd qualifying round).

Maybe somebody here would learn to have more respect for Ajax in future??  Wink

Yeah Utrecht just collapsed at the end of the season, 5 losses in a row. On the bright side it will save me on taxes due to police support for the UEFA games
