Argentine Invasion

By: Matt | Comments 2 Comments

So the man who brought you Dario Cvitanich is now angling for another young Argentinean. This time Marco is raiding Boca Juniors for their 22 y/o defender Jonatan Maidana. The man has already inspired his share of youtube vids culled from his three seasons of play for Boca and handfull of U-20 national [...]

Last KJH Transfer News Until…

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

…there is something more than talk and speculation, from him and his agent and the rumor mill that is the press.  Mostly because I am more than a little bitter about the whole affair.  For those of you who have not kept up, here are the key developments in the last few weeks, given in [...]

Davids to Leave Ajax, Again

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

I am going to begin by saying that it was really great to have Edgar Davids in Amsterdam this season. He did not come for some farewell tour. He intended to bear those goggles into the fray as usual. Ajax needed a strong, veteran presence both behind the scenes and on the [...]

The End

By: Matt | Comments 5 Comments

A tough loss after failing to score at home, 2-1 aggregate to FC Twente. Full credit to them. They will try their hand at CL football next season, and we will troll along with the UEFA Cup. I am in no mood to do a full write-up of the match. I [...]

Final Match Preview

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

I am making this preview a day early because tomorrow is going to be a wash, like most of this week. Right now, I am hoping I will get to sit down and enjoy the final match of the season, but it is not looking too good. You, undoubtedly, will enjoy our comeback [...]

It’s All About Trust

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

FC Twente must really be flying high. They have not lost to Ajax this season, and they stand with a 2-1 advantage after the first leg of the playoffs. Unlike a few teams in the Eredivisie, they do not seem intimidated by the Amsterdam giants. They are so bold right now, they [...]

Less Than Effective

By: Matt | Comments No Comments

I am going to try to stay as positive as possible here. A 2-1 away defeat in the first leg by no means is decisive, yet. The away goal from Suarez could be a tremendous aid. A 1-0 victory at the Arena will be enough. Looking at the highlights, however (I [...]

Short Hop

By: Matt | Comments 2 Comments

I am going to be gone all weekend and will not return until late Sunday night. I do not even expect to see the match this weekend against FC Twente, so I expect some comments here from you in lieu of a match report. Consider it a homework assignment from a guy who [...]

It Worked?! KJH To Stay?!

By: Matt | Comments 3 Comments

Ajax may have caught the big one! Everybody knows the real reason Marco van Basten was hired to be the next manager at Ajax. And everybody knows why he asked Dennis Bergkamp to join his staff. It’s simple really: Klaas Jan Huntelaar, the second-coming of Ruud van Nistelrooy. And the [...]
