    So you a Man U supporter? Kinda funny because today was thinking about asking you what team you supported. I think deep inside you are a Barca fan, at least a sympathizer. :grin:

    Ouchhh!! May I ask why? I know yall 2 are Dutch, but why this team? Is it your home team?

    No. I grew up close to Amsterdam so ajax would have been more logical. All my friends are ajax fans.

    When i was young there were 3 good teams. Ajax psv and feyenoord.
    Ajax was the talented arrogant team.
    Psv was from the south (so not an option)
    Feyenoord was the hard working team.
    I liked feyenoord philosophy and choose that team.. And i supported them ever since.

    I hope so!! We need some CBs first, tell your boy Hummels to come over.:grin:

    Man that's some conviction right there.. I've been with Barca since early 90's but been lucky to be on the winning side for the most part.

    Not sure - you support a team and stick with them. Not my home team though! And hey, we're the last Dutch team to win a European trophy. ;) It's an exciting time right now though, basically half the Dutch players are either Feyenoord players or have a past with the club.

    Oof. Can't really top that. Chin up, better days will be around sometime(maybe when Frank DeBoer leaves Ajax??)

    I was always an Ajax fan, never liked PSV and I didn't mind Feyenoord.

    Sigh, I'm a United supporter(and I'm not even from Manchester. The jokes write themselves. My ties are with North London and really I should be a Spurs or Arsenal fan(I kinda always had some feelings for Arsenal though) but the first match I ever saw was Spurs vs United sometime in the 80s and I became a United fan. :( )

    Ha, yeah maybe I'm a Barca sympathizer. I'm mostly a Dutch sympathizer, especially Ajax, and with the link to Barca, I kinda have a little love for Barca.

    What's the status of the Liverpool defence? Any changes? Is Agger staying on? Is Kolo still in the team?

    What United? If you are talking about Man United they are obviously not a weak team and never were.

    Fans have cheered for lesser teams in lesser leagues and they are still happy.

    Being a CL or UEFA Cup contender isn't always the ultimate prize for everyone.

    I like Feyenoord and PSV when it comes to Dutch teams.

    PSV (Koeman) did give chances to Park Jisung, Lee Yong Pyo and Sun Xiang.

    Southampton now have Pelle, Feyenoord's top scorer the last 2 seasons. Interested to see whether he can do it in the Prem. Will it be Bas Dost or a return of John Guidetti?

    Graziano Pelle? Good to see him make a move to an even tougher league to see how he does. I don't believe he even got to play more than just a few matches in Serie A.
    I will never forget his interview with the reporter where he accuses the reporter of being an Ajax supporter lol.

    "You have a face that you are an Ajax supporter":grin::grin::grin:

    I am happy pelle is going away. 10 mil is a lot of money. I do nit expect him to succeed. Curious to see who will replace him at feyenoord.

    Ok guys I think I know who lots of you support (club-wise) but the World Cup has brought lots of different posters so show us who you support so we can judge you. I'll start...

    Kolo is out thankfully, while Agger's future at Anfield is uncertain. Quite unfortunate since he's much, much better than Skrtle. I don't think Pool has made any signings. The focus right now is on midfield and more midfield and then replacing Suarez.

    My prediction is that Pool will leak even more goals next season. Especially if Skrtle is given more starting XI time. Rodgers is like D'antoni, doesn't care about defense.

    Yeap, glad we managed to get a bit of dosh for him. Like you, expect him to be a complete flop. Then again, our Eredivisie players did okay in the Cup - - maybe we're not that bad after all. ;)

    Looks like Adu's career is spiralling even further down the drain - he had a shot with AZ, but was rejected.
