    Manchester United

    No, but then again Man Utd couldn't have been in a group with those two teams, with the current system of pots or whatever they're called. So, only the teams out of pot 3, 4 and 1 count. If you look at it that way, had they been swapped with PSG (the pot 2 team in that group), they would have...

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    PSV are through! We played quite poorly imo, but at least we pulled through after a soft penaldo for CSKA. Spanish referees, man....even in international matches they suck.

    Manchester United

    Really don't see how this would be one of the easiest groups, to be honest. I'd say the average quality of the teams in the group is higher than in Chelsea's group, Atleti's group, Real's group, etc. There's no top team, true, but there's also no really weak side in it, whereas most groups have...

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    I'd say Luuk de Jong is actually a decent striker, although he wasn't particularly good tonight. He thrives on crosses, and with Lestienne absent and Narsingh injured early on we lacked a pacey forward to deliver those crosses. Still, a win at home against CSKA Moscow will put us through to the...

    Riechedly Bazoer

    He's anything but clumsy imo, he's a very technical player. Also, he's only 18, so there's still a lot of room for development.

    Johan Cruyff

    Yes he did, but that doesn't mean, of course, that lung cancer would be impossible to get, sadly.

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    True, but in the 80's there were, of course, far less teams in the tournaments. We've never ended this far down in any qualification group ever. There are some exciting new talents (Bazoer!) coming 'round, but I fear it might take a while for us to get back to an acceptable level, especially if...

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    Let's hope so! Serbia was briefly managed by a Dutch manager at the start of this series, of course, so we probably cursed you with that :) Sadly,though, our manager will stay on, so I'm sceptical of us improving much in the future.

    Netherlands

    ^ There should be better options indeed. Koeman would be nice, although it is doubtful he'd take the job. Cocu or De Boer would probably do a better job too, even though they're relatively inexperienced. Van Gaal would be perfect, but he won't take it either, probably. A foreign manager might...

    Netherlands

    Well, that escalated quicky....2018 will be difficult as well if we play like this. We are in a group with France, Sweden, Bulgaria, Belarus and Luxembourg. Blind will stay on as a manager, so I hope some players step it up big time......

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    Another nightmare tonight for us......even though our chances were slim to begin with, this was even worse than I expected.....that own goal, really? We lack any tactical plan now, we can't even beat 10 Czechs, and they didn't even field all their best players!

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    I agree that we don't deserve to qualify, but I think that a better coach would have gotten a lot more out of our players. A big problem we got is the fact we don't have many good players from the ages 24-28. There's a new group of talented players coming 'round, and players like De Vrij should...

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    Some say it's tactics, some say it's the older players not delivering anymore. Most agree, though, that Hiddink and Blind are to blame for this. Their squads have often been a bit strange imo, and under Hiddink's reign especially the team looked clueless tactically. Van Gaal gave us a rigid...

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    ^Head to head, which is why Turkey has to lose in order to give us a chance to qualify. Only a Dutch win accompanied by a Turkish loss would allow the Netherlands national team to qualify for the play-offs, so the odds are not in our favour now.

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    I'm still sick of us failing this badly. Getting only 1 point in 5 games against Turkey, Iceland and the Czech Republic is disgraceful. I'm confident, however, that we'll be in a better shape to try and qualify for the 2018 World Cup. I can't see Turkey losing at home against the already...

    Riechedly Bazoer

    Bazoer is one of my favourite players in the Eredivisie, and that usually doesn't happen to me with Ajax's players. He's always collected in possession, and he offers physicality too. A very mature player for his age: he's probably be the most talented U20 player who plays regularly in the...

    Memphis Depay

    Put Herrera in Rooney's place and I think United would be a lot more solid in posession. Rooney has been crap almost all season now. Without one player to fuck up every decent attack, Memphis, too, will be better. Or even put Memphis centrally, so that he has more room to express himself, and...

    Atlético Madrid

    Atleti disappointed me a bit in the first half especially. Their didn't seem as energetic and agressive without the ball as they used to be. Fielding Griezmann on the right was a mistake imo. Torres, for his knack of scoring against Atleti's rivals, made great runs, yet finished them in a...
