I love the matching mustache colour to his "sheepdog" hairdo. Was he in a purple jumpsuit in Saturday Night Fever by any chance? That is so early 80'ish that it scares me.

He may be in Madrid end of the season and will probably bring his favourite 3 in 1 player along. I am NOT a big Kuyt fan, but boy his work rate and how much he covers is amazing. He always gets chosen ahead of Babel and I would say Babel rates well above Guzman,Wijnaldum, whatever else unproven orange wannabe there is. Please no more about Kuyt OK cos I dunno why I am defending him :) tiju, perhaps we can just agree to disagree, there are far better football brains than ours out there, Benitez obviously likes Kuyt and he is a little above average coach, certainly better than any of us bloggers.

Well, you gotta give it to Louis. He knows how to gel a team together. I really hope they win the title and upset AC Milan, Liverpool and Lyon in the group stages. Then maybe whip Chelski's arse, steam on via Juve and Man United to beat Barca in the finals!!! Yeah... Great! Well, you gotta give it to Louis. He knows how to gel a team together.

It could have gone either way. AZ was good in the first half and Feyenoord's passing and some great dribbling by Wijnaldum, da Silva should have ecored from close range...it was a good game to watch but really if AZ plays like they did in the first half they can beat anybody - it was scary, bit like Ajax 94/5.

I always liked them. But, they are good in Van Gaal's system! Which is comparable to Arsenal, I guess. But De Zeeuw in another set-up looks mediocre. How "bad" was Feyenoord?
