I was wondering about a few names. I'll be watching out of Ajax at the start of the season though to see if anything has really changed. Afterall, they are still playing a 4-3-3 so I didn't expect such a bad performance. The second half was a total change though. Some good stuff on displa albeit slower than usual. Albertini's testimonial was a lot better!

True, but the Ajax first team was matched by a reserve team That r0x mah s0x! You'd at least expect their experience and a bit of class to show through. That didn't happen at all

I just finished watching the 1st half of the Bergkamp testimonial match. Ajax was matched by Arsenal reserves :shock: Some not-too-bad performances from Arsenal though, but Ajax were quite disappointing. Henk Ten Cate obviously has a lot of work to do for Ajax. He's played a more typical Dutch 4-3-3, but you can see he's very influenced by Rijkaard's work at Barca. The ball is being played along the back a lot but the tempo is still too slow and the team doesn't look like it really knows what its doing. The forwards, midfield and backline hardly play as a unit. The only notable performance was made by Huntelaar. He's not too bad and got a few chances, but only stuck one away. Impressed by his commitment to come back as well. As for Maduro, I'm not sure if the problem is how Ten Cate uses him, but he didn't perform. He was never comfortable on the ball and his distribution was negative more often than not. He has potential but he needs to be used in a more appropriate manner if they want to see the best of him.

Joe Cole, Robben and Kalou on the wings. Some say Chelsea will play a 4-4-2 next season. I'm not convinced Mourinho will dump his grand formation. Doesn't look like he's got the players for it either.

I heard it was everything with a heartbeat on two legs, but he was thinking about dropping one of those two criteria.

Alves transfer might be completed this week I can't wait any longer! Just end the speculation already! <_<

Gerrard +10 Shilton Cafu---Terry---Moore---Carlos Figo---Gerrard---Zidane---Barnes Van Basten-----Henry Don't know what Carlos is doing in there. Terry and Barnes are interesting choices though. It got me thinking...who would you include in your dream XI?

So they call it "cheap shots" over there eh? However you want to word it then

I'm fine, thanks quiet you!

You give and receive in equal quantity?

Was the revenge cold, painful and well-planned? Did you tackle him and break his knee? Is your real name Roy Keane?

Well he'll only be playing full/wing-back I assume since they only use wing forwards and 3 central midfielders. Thuram will probably play on the right. I forgot about Marquez in the centre.

They'll have a good backline, but I was pretty satisfied with Gio's performances Thuram will probably dislodge Oleguer from the starting XI. I never understood why they used him so much...

Is the babymaker alright?

It was an awesome goal but do I detect some bias?

well it was worth it. I absolutely 0WN3D him for the rest of the game. He was my bitch! *sets up Great Wall of China*

I won't deny that. But it's greatness is undeniable :knives:

pain is painful but still, how retarded can you get? As a striker, he missed the WHOLE ball. WHOLE. retard <_<
