Hunter scores again after 6 dry matches.
Hard to say, really.
Feyenoord lost at home against Sweden’s number one. Feyenoord had to play without Slory, Makaay, Landzaat and Bruins and due to all hick-ups in the warm up Verbeek’s team just hasn’t been able to gel yet. Can you blame anyone? The Swedes obviously are a team [...]

NEC coach Mario Been
Well, I’d almost say: the interesting European Cup for us Dutchies is starting soon… As if I accept the fact that we don’t have any business in the CL. And with PSV’s performance against Atletico, this might well be true. Does Holland have anything to achieve in the Champions League? Do we [...]

Man United had a clincher to start with this CL campaign, playing Villareal at home.
Manchester looked the business throughout, but with a strong opponent like Villareal, you don’t want to give too much away. The Mancunians didn’t, but were also unable to create anything more than pressure and a couple of chances, 0-0. Van der [...]

Ibrahim Afellay has to smile when he hears the question: which PSV player has more experience in the CL than the 22 year old? Afellay answers: “I don’t know. It’s your job to do your own research.”
It’s a weird reality, only two players – the 35 year old Timmy Simons and the 25 year old [...]

Maroon 5 dedicated a song to this blog, called…eh… “This Blog”.
It goes: “this blog has taken it’s toll on me, but you said goodbye, so many times before…”
During tournaments, we sometimes hit 100+ comments or more, while during the off-season for national teams, sometimes only Goose comments
This is your chance! I’d like to [...]

Avram Grant demonstrates his euphoric happy side
A livid Avram Grant walked away from the meeting with Chelsea owner Abramovic, a man he though was his friend, after he was told he couldn’t stay on as manager of the first team. Roman Abramovic did offer his old job – thechnical manager for 4 Mio euros per [...]

Edwin van der Sar was having fun when interviewed right after winning the Champions League with Man United: ” Young young boys’ dream? Are you serious? This is more an old man’s dream,” the 37 year old quipped.
Van der Sar stopped Chelsea’s seventh penalty kick. He knew he’d stop it: “I know it’s easy to [...]

After their EPL showdown you could only expect high drama and intensity in the CL finals between the Blues and the Mancunians. And that’s exactly what we got.
Chelsea had trouble settling into the game. There is a lot at stake for manager Grant and the Chelsea players have looked forward to finally reaching the finals [...]

The Richest Clubs of the World (sorry it’s in Dutch).
Before Roman Abramovich boarded his private jet to go to Moscow for the CL finals he quickly bought two paintings for his London home. The Chelsea owner paid 75 Mio euros for the Francis Bacon and Freud doodles. When Roman wants something, he buys it.
Whether it’s [...]

I’ve got to be honest with you… I’m not a big Dick fan. I mean…I am not a big fan of Dick… I think he is a bit of a…eh…a wannabe Dick, you know?
Ok, he was interesting as a player. He was successful in his younger days with SVV (who??). And he did win the [...]
