They're a breath of fresh air.It's depressing at this point.
I don't know why people keep downplaying the effect a manager has on a team.
Sure they have good players, but their entire team is performing to the max because of a clear and concise plan on the field in every single aspect.
I long for the days when we have a manager who maximizes our team like Fergie used to.
Yeah, he said that, but said the "who knows" thing right after.Well this was reported by De Telegraaf a month ago. You would know better than I if the source is reliable.

Those two clubs sort of have a friendship that goes back a long time.Imagine them now going out against Spurs. That would be the anti climax of the century.
Agreed, there are, but they're not as popular as football and the Champions League. All I'm saying is that a hierarchy of clubs is inevitable. Hierarchies, in general, are inevitable.It doesn't have to be. There are many sport leagues where the concept of "it's literally life" isn't taken as fact.
Yes, this. Surely every neutral is rooting for them.Please win the whole damn thing.
Which ever club wins it will be amazing for football.Imagine them now going out against Spurs. That would be the anti climax of the century.

Not sure if anyone looks that good if they play at Emmen though. I wonder if they scouted him at a younger age, rather than based on just this season.I have no idea why they signed Scherpen. Not because of his past, but because he's simply a terrible goalkeeper.
His only perk is that he's tall and even then he's shite with high balls into the box. He's not shown any promise at all if you ask me.
As an outfield player, no you're right, but he's a goalkeeper whos made quite a few massive mistakes this season. I just dont ever see him as Ajax number one.

Came by this forum and saw this post, have to say it made me smile. Ajax into the semis after playing neither Roma nor Porto and they are in a decent position in the league at the moment.Unless they draw the Roma/Porto winner this is probably the end of the run for them in the CL. PSV are going to win the title but, Ajax have to be the favorites for the Dutch Cup since they are playing Willem.
Unlike most here I actually watch most of Ajax's matches my opinion here was not based on nothing. But, I was happy to be proven wrong.Came by this forum and saw this post, have to say it made me smile.

That's the benefit of hindsight. No one in their right mind thought Ajax would get this far.Unlike most here I actually watch most of Ajax's matches my opinion here was not based on nothing. But, I was happy to be proven wrong.
And on paper Juve was the worst draw imaginable for them. Ajax have a tendency to play well and not win and Juve prides themselves on getting results when they are not playing well. Last season they were bumping their chest after knocking out Spurs even though they were outplayed for 160 of the 180 minutes. Plus with Cristiano who has dominated this competition over the years.That's the benefit of hindsight. No one in their right mind thought Ajax would get this far.
Well, one of my Ajax supporting mates did and put 100 euros on them winning the CL. He cam cash out for 1400 now, but he's going to ride it out
I agree on the CL part, but I was mostly referring to the convincing way you said that psv was going to win the Eredivisie this season. Don't get me wrong they still can win it, but their chances are getting smaller.And on paper Juve was the worst draw imaginable for them.

Completely agree. No clue why Ajax signed him. Besides being tall he's a terrible goalkeeper. Just another Dutch talentless goalkeeper. The only 'sane' reason for Ajax to buy him might be financially. He won't cost that much but he's a GK for Oranje (-21s?) and if he plays a half decent season on loan at Emmen next season and maybe the season after then Ajax could sell him on with a decent profit. However I really don't see him being a #1 GK for Ajax.I have no idea why they signed Scherpen. Not because of his past, but because he's simply a terrible goalkeeper.

Honestly havn’t paid attention to Emmen, I must admit. So don’t know. He’s young, tall, going to get intensive keeperstraining... who knows?As an outfield player, no you're right, but he's a goalkeeper whos made quite a few massive mistakes this season. I just dont ever see him as Ajax number one. Do you?
That video Ajax made is fecking brilliant though
What are the players in black doing? Aren't you supposed to pass the ball to the opposition or back to the keeper after 2 passes?
You're right. They need a touch of Ole.What are the players in black doing? Aren't you supposed to pass the ball to the opposition or back to the keeper after 2 passes?
That was the first good touch of Christensen's career I think.
