… to panic? Or maybe it is. 4-1 loss at Vitesse. Supporters interrupted training earlier this week, and even MvB has admitted he considered resigning. The high spirits that continued even after transfer news distracted everyone has quickly evaporated as the failure to take points has continued. This leaves us [...]

Depending on your perspective, your reaction to this weekend’s KJH love-fest could have been one of adulation and adoration, of hero-worship and veneration of the next great saint. Or it could have been the closest thing to a funeral for Ajax’s ambitions that will be held under the guidance of the club’s top brass. [...]

The end of the half-season is coming quickly now, and things are falling into shape. We know that we will head into the break no worse than third but most likely second. We also now know that Fiorentina lies ahead in the UEFA Cup, but there are at least ten other things we [...]

I have been biding my time for more than a few days, satisfying my own self-imposed “cooling off period.” It’s not that KJH defied my own prediction that he would wait until summer to move. It’s not the money. It’s not even the destination. It is the brazen arrogance and idiocy [...]

Yeah, it was kinda ugly. Yeah, we were not terribly sharp. Yeah, nobody will be too impressed with Dario. And yeah, we only managed two goals against a suspect defense (as I predicted. hooray.) We were fortunate. But three points are three points, and championships are won in forgotten [...]

(Excuse me while I exorcize some of my bitterness. It’s just a phase.)
