Super Sunday in the Eredivisie

I don’t know anything about the Koeman/van Gaal fallout, can anyone enlighten me?

Ajax won 3-2 with Suarez scoring a brace. AZ missed a penalty though.

Feyenoord lost. 0 – 4. I can’t believe it.

4-0 for PSV. Were brought back to earth. Ajax beats AZ. Every thing went bad for me this weekend, Bills losing 38-7 to the New England Patriots, Alabama Crimson Tide lose a heartbreaker in overtime to Georgia Bulldogs

for me it was the opposite: barca won 2-1 against sevilla,ajax won 3-2 in alkmaar (!),and finally real didn’t win (valladolid would have deserved the 3 points because they were really better). it seems that they are not that good as some people thought. sneijder didn’t play. drenthe played 60 minutes,he was substituted by robben. drenthe had 2 or 3 decent passes,and that’s it. he was awful. rvn gave the assist to saviola before the madrid goal. he was neither good nor bad. robben didn’t show too much ,he tried,but he didn’t have the space needed. i was really,really surprised by villareal. and finally the refs forgot to give 2 penalties for villareal in the first half. actually real is not the same without sneijder… their defence was very lucky not conceeding 2 or 3 goals.

Koeman was coach at Ajax, when the Ajax board enlisted van Gaal as Technical Director. That started with Koeman saying: but he is not my boss… And Ajax saying, well he is the long term nan. Koeman: in my contract it says I report to the board, not to him.

Then Van Gaal wrote this strategic vision. Everybody liked it so they made it law.

When Ajax lost in the CL one day, Koeman said he wanted the board to change the objectives and lower the bar. The board did so to keep Koeman happy. Van Gaal didn’t agree with this move
he tought it was stupid, to change your long term vision after one loss. But the board supported Koeman (opportunistic as they are) and Van Gaal said: what? Either he goes, or I go! And now he works at AZ .

I supported Van Gaal in this. Koeman is a bit of whiner and was told to leave six months later. That whole debate became a public row, ending with Koeman saying he didn’t have to send a xmas card to Van Gaal anymore… Every year they are at it now. When Koeman lost valuable points at the end of last season Van Gaal had fun with Snow flake. Then when AZ forgot to win their last match and made PSV chamos, it was Koeman who had the last laugh…

interesting story… i don’t like at all when a club like ajax with all its tradition doesn’t want to go for winning international trophies. we have all seen the results in different cl-qualifications…

Can anyone tell me where is JC’s son Jordi playing nowadays.

Jordi plays in the Ukrainie, in the team Co Adriaanse managed. Shaktar Donetz or something? Apparently he is doing fine there…

Very not Shaktar Donetsk, which is a very classy team, but Metalurg Donetsk.

Dammit… I get my clubs wrong all the time..

I’m getting old… Or Demented. Or both.
