(saturday frankie did his first tactical mistake of the season and unfortunately we payed for it - he rotated yaya toure and messi,and now real's lead is five points again.) unfortunately i'm not so sure that marco will do good for ajax. i like babel. he’s a very talented and nice guy. but unfortunately he’s better at liverpool than at oranje. actually robben was happy because he could have been injured like eduardo. the gest of the recre’s guy was horrible… (saturday frankie did his first tactical mistake of the season and unfortunately we payed for it – he rotated yaya toure and messi,and now real’s lead is five points again.)

Van Basten smoked too when he still played (in Milan). JC used to smoke in the shower, with the likes of Piet Keizer. Van Basten smoked too when he still played (in Milan).

Glad to see the old shark has already started cleaning slate upstairs in the Board room! I can actually see him and MvB work well together. Maybe Ajax can bounce back on the international scene soon too? That would be nice to see and very good for Dutch soccer in general.

He is on a very good run of form at the moment. However, like most L-Pool players, he doesn't get many consecutive starts (or even minutes) due to Rafa's obsession with rotation...He looks very good though at the moment, and if he can keep that sort of form through to the Summer MvB has something to think about. Other Dutch news from UK, Seedorf looks like he will be out against Arsenal on Tuesday in CL, whilst VanPersie has been included in the Arsenal squad (but will not start according to Wenger). He could see action as a sub though. Babel scored, and was Man of the match today as L-pool beat Bolton. He is on a very good run of form at the moment.

What about Bojan Krkic, Pato, Kroos, they're a lot younger than Drenthe or Babel. “The youngest pro playing at a top european club.” What about Bojan Krkic, Pato, Kroos, they’re a lot younger than Drenthe or Babel.
