OK, this is starting to not be funny anymore. (You might be wondering if it ever was funny) Ajax began the season with an unusual number of stories that involved the police and criminal activity. It was cute, it was light-hearted, it was totally off-the-pitch. And then, this happened. Evidently, [...]

Here’s What Happened…

I was gone for a long weekend, but Ajax stayed busy. On one hand, we took a giant step toward putting our European demons out by smashing Borac 4-1 away. On the other, we dazzled by most accounts but still cannot make the chances add up to dominance. F*word escaped us with [...]

I am going to be heading to a wedding and so will be unable to watch any football for the next couple of days. I can bear missing the UEFA opener. Nothing good can happen when playing a minnow away from home. But I am terribly vexed to be missing the weekend [...]

Nobody likes a disgruntled backup keeper. But who can blame them for being idiots? It is not like they have much hope to be subbed in terribly often. And when you are clearly a backup to a solid keeper, I am sure you get even more bored. But when you are [...]

This was not the Ajax we expected, but we have no reason to be terribly disappointed. Against a decent opponent, Ajax dominated possession (60% or better) and took 23 shots (12 on goal). It is just a shame that only one of those shots ended up on the score sheet. On a [...]

International breaks are supposed to give a squad a chance to get healthy, right? At the very least, few teams manage to come out of a nice, long break more short-handed than they went in. Ajax, however, has done just that. When Roda JC comes to Amsterdam tomorrow, Ajax will look like [...]

After a nice long international break, it seems that your favorite new TV series has released a brand new episode. This time, I do not need to make anything up. Dutch police stormed a house in Zoetermeer, seizing computers they believed to have been used to hack into secured Ajax files. The [...]

By: Matt | 2 Comments
After last week, I wanted nothing more than to see Ajax storm the pitch in Amsterdam and hit the reset button with 3 points. There is nothing good about this international break for Ajax. We could use one of these in a few weeks perhaps, when Sulejmani’s repaired knee acts up or Steks [...]

Barring an eleventh hour, and I mean 11:57, type of deal with no rumors that even the trashiest of gossip sites would print, KJH is going to be staying in Amsterdam. Until January at least. All the activity that could have happened weeks ago took place today, and Danny Blind was not taking [...]

Willem II 2 - Ajax 1
I think we learned a lot here. Ajax dominated the first half, with tons of possession but few quality chances. KJH missed one before Sulejmani made the breakthrough, a nice shot from the top of the box into the top corner. But the half ended with the [...]
