@ Fey

After FC Grun-Feyenoord, we will prolly sign Nevland. And if not we always have good old Pi-Air.

Tonight the season opener.
The most beautifull against the most ugly.

Sparta Rotterdam - Vitesse
The Beauty - The Beast

And I will be there! Is it on Talpa? You guys can see me on the opposite side of The Castle.

Sparta should win...but it be a tough tie

-- how was Sparta's pre-season?

Great pre-season. Win against Blackburn, domination against Sheffield(draw). Only slip up was against Volendam.
Really, we should be able to win this.

have a go at the predictions for eredivisie round 1 in the predictions section

Sparta, is it true that Akenbeyi (sp) got sent off for violent conduct and no action is being taken by the Dutch FA to report it to the English FA.

You mean from Sheffield?
I remember some lad getting sent off for talking I guess. I have nothing heard of it since but I don't remember there was any report to the FA.
It was an undeserved red nevertheless but still a red.

Yeah the big massive black centre forward for Shieffield United.

I just wonder why it wasn't being taken further like the Rooney and Scholes situation.

All I heard last night, was he got sent off and no further action would be taken.

Yeah, remember him. He came in as a sub done lots of running work but absolutly no end product.

Yeah, strange situation but the ref in question - D.Jol - is from Den Hague so maybe it's Ricardo's fault.

Ok, cheers mate.

Will Pi-Air step up this weekend?

Why not play Huysegems as striker and good old Kolkka as left winger?

We need a PSV and a AZ fan on these boards.

A Heerenveen one would be good as well. I swear we have a PSV fan here though. And Leo was Feyenoord if I'm right.

We have a NEC, PSV, Feyenoord, Ajax and Sparta fan on here I think.
Why should try to get an Excelsior fan so we can laugh at him.

Who was the PSV fan?

Dutchy NL

he has not made it to these boards..

A shame, very good poster.
Any chance we can get him back?

we can, one of the Mods could do the job.

Likely squads for tonight.

-------------Ponk
Roover-Olfers-Schenkel-Polak
-----Obodai------Rose
---------Medunjanin
Boua------Yannis-------vDijk

Would have preferred Kaita over Rose and Emnes over Yannis.

Vitesse:
Wapenaar, Verhaegh, Knol, Sansoni, Blondelle, Hersi, Van der Schaaf, Janssen, Due, Lazovic, Junker

Defence looks not too good to be honest. Midfield and attack are pretty decent though.

@ SpartaR

I've gone with Medunjanin for my fantasy 11 although I'm probably gonna swap him for Vayrinen after the first match.

Now that I haven't jinxed Emnes he'll probably have a great season

You should keep Medunjanin. The team is a liitle bit built around him. With Obodai, Medunjanin and Rose are midfield looks rock solid if you ask me. Last year we were one of the best defences in 'het' rechterrijtje' and de Roover looks really good in pre-season. Good going forward.

All will be cheering for Sparta I presume?

We have a Fc Groningen fan on here too.

Sure, go to the old board, and PM him. PM's wil show up on regular emails.

IMO, I think he knows of this board already, and when the season starts he'll be here as well.
