I hope psv will do better, I have to disagree with Ajax sucking in the CL. They got the hardest group in history. (Yes people actualy investigated this) They are doing suprisingly well.

Well, true. I doubt any other team would have done better than them.

Hi! My name is MediHD and I'm quite a big football fan! To post on topic, let's just say Ajax have a really young team, and one which lacks experience. If Barcelona made Barcelona B play a Champions League game, the likes of Sergi Roberto, Muniesa, Carles Planas and Deulofeau would also suck royally. Same with Real Madrid cantera team. So in a few years time if Ajax keep the same team they may turn into contenders! When Jose Mourinho walks out the door at the end of the season/ is sacked at Real Madrid Ajax should hire him, or otherwise target Josep Guardiola!

Yeah if they have the money. And even if they have they aren't willing to spend money

[Buuz]

Even if they have the money, i don't think Mourinho wants to come to Amsterdam. Instead, PSV will pay them a visit. This saturday, actually.

[treeckotrainer]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the game saturday. I hope PSV wins as I can't stand Ajax

[Buuz]

So you're a PSV fan as well?

[Ninjames]

Reading 3-4 United HT. Can't wait to watch the highlights of this beauty on MotD.

[treeckotrainer]

So you're a PSV fan as well?

Yes, kinda. My family comes from brabant, so they're for psv. I myself like both vitesse and psv. And I absolutely hate Ajax, so....
Btw right now, it's 1-1, though psv is playing very poorly I heard.

We had a strong phase in the match but finally lost 3-1 to Ajax. I have to admit, they deserved to win. They played well and PSV's defences sucked hard..

[Ninjames]

Well, nice to see Rafa Benitez doing well at Chelsea.

[treeckotrainer]

Real Madrid 6-1 Ajax

^_^ I think so as well....Though it depends on the mentality of Real Madrid. If they are really keen on winning this match, they'll win with this score or something similar. Though I fear they're just not focused on winning this game and then it'll be a really boring match.

Man Utd 1-0 CFR Cluj-Napoca

No way, United never gets a clean sheet. They'll win, but it'll be something like 2-1.

[Ninjames]

Yeah we'll go a goal down and go on to win.

[7 tyranitars]

Celtic to the next round! Fantastic!

[Armando Payne]

The reigning European Champions are out baby, yeah.

[Ninjames]

The reigning European Champions are out baby, yeah.

Weren't they already out though? I thought that 3-0 loss to Juventus eliminated them from a next round spot.

[The Benmeister]

Weekends preds:

Arsenal 1-2 West Brom
Aston Villa 1-1 Stoke
Southampton 2-0 Reading
Sunderland 0-2 Chelsea

Wigan 2-2 QPR
Man City 2-2 Man Utd
Everton 0-0 Tottenham
West Ham 1-0 Liverpool
Fulham 3-0 Newcastle
Sunderland 0-0 Reading


I'm off to the Brentford game tomorrow, another ground off my list. Costing me a friggin' fortune though, and this is just the lower leagues!

[Buuz]

I predict a victory for PSV against FC Twente tomorrow. Both teams have been eliminated from the Europe League but at least PSV got themselves a 1-3 victory against Napoli. The way Twente has been playing lately, i doubt it will be the same result as last time we encountered. Last time we lost our home match 2-6...

Btw people, what are your thoughts on that referee that was kicked to death by a bunch of brats in the Netherlands?
