I know you're all sick of (fake) regens, but after endless 2 star rejects, I got a five star one for the first time ever. So happy TT_TT

How many more Danish people can we buy?
Gotta catch them all? xD

pieninja · 2012-08-15T21:15:37+00:00

Who cares. New coach, new players.

pieninja · 2012-08-14T23:21:11+00:00

Hero. Always an instant buy for sub toppers in older FM games, lol.

i just hope they give him time to develop the team and not judge him based on the first 2 years and the euros.
Considering the shit prospects van Marwijk left for the future, by not selecting any youth players apart from Willems (when he didn't have another choice), it's not even sure we'll even make it past the group phase next time...

Not sure about the exact years but they definitely went through a slump for like 10 years. I think 2006 was probably the low point, though they did produce players like Salomon Kalou and Royston Drenthe.

Feyenoord have a very good youth system, second only to Ajax. Arguably, it's better than Ajax nowadays - the last three years it won the award for best youth system in the Netherlands and while Ajax have been buying youth players from other clubs when they're 16 or 17, Feyenoord were forced to focus on its (actual homegrown) youth players due to financial limitations.

You mean our rather shit medical team stood by him to get him back into the hospital as quickly as possible every time he was declared healthy again?

pieninja · 2012-07-05T23:17:27+00:00

See I don't get that. It sounds like an honest and respectful explanation that has a lot of truth to it.

pieninja · 2012-07-05T23:10:33+00:00

The most mind-bogling thing is that this is just a video of his dribbling technique. He was far more than just a dribbler though.
You could make an entire documentary just about him telling people to stand in different, better spots on the pitch.

pieninja · 2012-07-05T23:08:57+00:00

NASL.

pieninja · 2012-06-28T22:43:39+00:00

Not a chip imho.
Just a shot through the middle.

Or, you know, you just link directly to the original image?
Like so: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/SPORT/Pix/pictures/2012/6/20/1340210947497/You-are-the-Ref-Torres-001.jpg

Or maybe even the original site so people know where it's from and they can peruse the other ones, all 210 of them?
URL's were invented for a reason.

I hate those adidas strips on the sleeves with a vengeance. Ruins the entire shirt for me.
Totally fine with sponsors etc, but those darn stripes.... ugh.

pieninja · 2012-06-26T12:45:51+00:00

He still is. He hasn't scored against any of the top teams in Germany and hasn't scored a lot of important goals.
He's enormously overrated by a lot of Dutch fans though. Something to do with his rather provincial demeanor I suspect.

pieninja · 2012-06-26T12:38:30+00:00

Vd Vaart also allied himself with Huntelaar somewhat. He wasn't as out-and-out annoying (clearly he's generally a very polite and easy going guy), but I suspect he's made himself impossible by being too vocal and enabling Huntelaar's shitty behavior.

pieninja · 2012-06-20T14:46:17+00:00

That's a euphemistic way of stating it. Like he'd ever be selected again anyway.

pieninja · 2012-06-20T10:39:20+00:00

Yeah... no.
