Feyenoord had victory on it’s mind at three levels: three points, confidence and the fans goodwill.
Instead of three points, Feyenoord had to make do with one, but it did score on the two other objectives. Gertjan Verbeek: “We didn’t play great football, but we fought for every meter and showed the fans we were willing [...]

Well my friends… I am one of the lucky to be able to watch Feyenoord-Ajax tonight LIVE on Setanta. Yea! I’ve seen many a classic classic… But where does this rivalry came from… VI had an article on it and this is how I remember it. (Please note I wasn’t born in 1921 yet…)
It’s 1921 [...]

Well, I guess people in Rotterdam are not into YouTube. Or haven’t discovered the internet yet. Are have no club pride left. As a Feyenoord fan, I’m ashamed to show you the Best Feyenoord goals.

This season, he has lost the first two games already, yesterday against newcomer ADO Den Haag (Goose is drunk, no doubt). Van Gaal did feel his team played [...]

How ’bout this for a team:
Defense consisting of Chivu, Van Damme, Heitinga, Nigel de Jong
MIdfield: Maduro, Sneijder, Van der Vaart (Pienaar on the bench)
Offense: Van der Meyde, Zlatan, Ryan Babel (with Mido and Tom de Mul benched).

Willem van Hanegem’s column in the AD

It’s over and done with. No more transfers till the Winter window.
Ajax found itself in a little dilemma when two sub top clubs from Europe dangled a carrot of the value of 40 Mio euros in Van Basten’s face: Klaas Jan Huntelaar being the sacrifice for that. But, Ajax said, they weren’t of the calibre [...]
