Weekend Action…

Dick: “Just tell Roman to pick me for Chelsea… Pick me! Pick me!”

After all that boring CL football and high drama, we’re in for a smashing Eredivisie weekend…

PSV lost to Heerenveen already and the Sollied coached Northeners have leapfrogged PSV for the 4th spot. Tomorrow, Feyenoord can take over Vitesse in their head to head, while Ajax will have to face an away game in Utrecht, where Ton Du Chatinier is on a winning streak.

AZ may also face defeat this weekend, so anything is possible.

Dick Advocaat has denied the rumors that he’ll take over from Guus, but his comments are telling: “I haven’t heard this yet, so it’s bullshit…”. Hmm….he may hear tomorrow….

After Real’s defeat at home against Liverpool, Ramos confessed the Merengues missed a real striker. “We need a guy who can keep two defenders busy and create space for the midfielders. We missed that player.” Weird, because one Klaas Jan Huntelaar does exactly that. But, Ramos chose Diarra for the CL.

Bert van Marwijk is enthusiastic about Van Nistelrooy’s comments. “He’s the one who told me that he wanted to focus on his club. I wasn’t too happy with that, and if he now wants to reconsider, I’m happy… He should get fit first, and than – if he’s game – he should just drop me a line.”

Mark van Bommel told the German press he will end his career in Eindhoven. “That is the deal I made when I left and I want to stick to it. But, whether that’s this summer or in two years, I don’t know.”

Van Bommel was the skipper in Bayern’s team last Wednesday, smashing Sporting Lisbon 0-5. The midfielder was offered a one year deal and Mark would like at least two years. He didn’t go into the apparent interest from Schalke 04.
