Although I appreciate that he hasn't hit the net for Man Utd yet in the PL, I do think this whole story of 'non-scoring striker' is starting to lead a life of its own. Let's not forget that he scored 70 goals and had 22 assists in 144 matches for Wolfsburg and 45 goals and 13 assists in 86 matches...

And to think you could have scooped up Jasper Cillessen this summer for a bar of chocolate and a can of fizz of your choice. Plays at NEC Nijmegen now.

It is their job to provide ETH with the players that he needs. He already has too much on his plate to also do their jobs for them. At Ajax, he had Overmars to bring in the players. ETH tells them the type of player he needs (e.g. FdJ) and it is then up to the scouting network of Man Utd to find a...

Sending the likes of yourself and likeminded individuals into fits of impotent rage over nothing in order to sell papers and adverts.

Different left wingback.

Why? That has always been his view. He has a clear set of key strategies/concepts that the players need to familiarise themselves with, but the way that the play itself is executed is very much dependent on the specific skills of the available players. That is why he changed playing styles with...

Well, he is Dutch. Undoubtedly he packed very light to minimise his luggage travel expense. If theyhadnt put him on a private jet he'd probably gone Ryan Air.

'Trouw' interview translation excerpts: Q: You still had a contract with Ajax. Why leave now? A: This already was a bonus year. Last summer there was interest, but I wanted to be successful with ajax once more and hibernate in the CL. When I started at Ajax I had stated that they needed to...

I think you've missed the next part of the quote: "We are here today to witness the union of a promising coach and a prestigious club in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock. Unfortunately, one of them, Erik ten Hag, has just fallen to his death."

I'm sure only about one pun in ten did.

Just about the worst Dutch translation of "let's go" that you could've dug up. "Gaan met die banaan" is the go-to phrase...

A summary of Ten Hag's playing style and philosophy: * The fundamental, unyielding starting point is the strategic principle. This consists of a specific set of key playing patterns that are the core focus of training sessions and are drilled into the players to become automatic and intuitive...

Last time I went to his show, his stand-up -was- his tv stuff. He does a tour and then subsequently you can hear those exact same jokes all through the year on various media outlets (8 of 10 cats, QI, etc). Still good fun though, but I guess that is the downside for formulaic comedians like Carr...

I think you are confusing Ghostbusters with Alien.

How about - and this may sound a crazy concept to some - thinking up a novel story idea instead of mutilating an all-time classic to wring some extra cash out of its iconic name? (Ma)Scar(a)face with Meryl Streep as Antonia Montana? Blues Sisters (They're putting the book circle back together)...
