Last time, I wrote about how Ajax must manage their resources well to be successful. They have not done so recently, and are stuck in the doldrums. They are neither terribly impressive not embarrassingly poor. But one can expect two things. First, they will not remain in mediocrity for long. [...]

Farewell AjaxUSA

It is a sad day in the series of tubes that makes up the Internets when the absolute pinnacle of English-language Ajax related websites calls it quits. (I am flattered if you think this is my farewell. It’s not) The editors of AjaxUSA have decided to walk away from a classy and [...]

How is this for a match report? : One person suffered minor injuries, three hospitalized, and 19 treated for smoke inhalation. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured.

This weekend’s match at the Arena is certanly a tale of two sides of the table. Ajax is hoping to tear down the homestretch, win its final three matches, and hope that PSV continues to falter. PSV’s 8 points from their last 6 is not quite a slump, but it a dry spell [...]

Here are some tidbits. Looks like the backroom is taking care of some business.
Rydell Poepon’s days as an Ajacied may be numbered. If you just said “Who’s that?”, don’t worry. He has been on loan for several seasons with Willem II. Despite his nine goals this year, it seems no one [...]

Which situation do you find most entertaining in movies, books, or TV shows?
A) The hero has virtually unlimited resources and expectations to match.
B) The hero must exhibit resourcefulness, nerve, and smarts to overcome impossible odds
If you prefer B, and do not live near the epicenter of one of the world’s largest football clubs, then you [...]
