Ajax Amsterdam

[Danish Blue]

When I was a kid I supported City, we were ok and to be fair we won a cup, we weren't great though and clearly we didnt fair well against other teams from the North West, first Liverpool then United. However like many here I kept the faith. However I need to come clean, as a young lad I had an affair, I was allowed to watch sportsnight and I got to see the magical Ajax team of the seventies, I was mesmorised.

I had never seen football like it, and Cruyff was immediately marked in with indelible marker as the greatest player I had ever seen. I so, so wanted that shirt, til this day I think the old Ajax shirt is the coolest ever, but also I could never afford it. I did the next best thing and bought the subbuteo team.

I still have a very soft spot and I don't particularly like Real Madrid or whatever they stand for.

What a result, I hope we qualify and draw them, what a treat, my wife may even treat me to the shirt.......40 years too late.

Fuck em. They ruined my night in Rome a few years ago when they beat us.

I too remember that great Ajax side from the early '70s. Cruyff, Neeskens, Krol, etc.

Fantastic players, who won three consecutive European Cups, though I was probably too young to really appreciate just how good they were.

I'm amazed that no-one tried to buy Tadic while he was at Southampton. He always looked class. Certainly on the same level as Sigurdsson at least.

One of the best names for a footballer was Jonny Rep who played for them, it's a name with a bit of buzz about it and almost as good as Willy van de Kerkhof which I found hilarious.

His last year at Southampton was very poor which probably put most interested clubs off.

They ruined my night in Amsterdam same day. Wankers. Although the sex show I went to didn’t help that night ( @Bill will remember how sad that was)

They were fucking brilliant last night though. Could have been seven easily.

Fully deserved victory, wasn’t it?

The free-kick for the fourth was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

I only saw the second half yesterday but they were very good. I loved the last goal.

I hope the stripper was crying at least.

don't want to draw them should we get through.
