    I will hope you are correct, and I expect Utrecht inflated the results, but Baudet is dangerous - and corrupt.
     
  2. Yup. Morally corrupt. Trying to sabotage the MH17 investigations with Wilders by claiming it was biased. In my eyes he's a traitor and should be locked up for treason.
    However our system prevents lunatics like him to grab power.
    The socialist party PVDA and Christian CDA historically had the highest number of seats ever, 53 in 1977 till 54 in 1988. After that no party managed to get 50 or higher. Actually 40 out of 150 at the moment is already a tremendous result.
    In our system every vote counts and this means a splintered political landscape.
    Our system prevents idiots like the orange tanned baboon to ever take power, as it isnot a winner takes it all system.
    With all the hullabaloo in the press about a landslide vote in reality it's fake news as mr Traitor doesnot call the cards as he simply is just a minor piece of the total political landscape.

    Yeah, but it still a disturbing trend - especially after his response on the MH17. But I've derailed the thread enough. Less a concern about "taking over" more about "temperature of public sentiment." I'll hope some is just overreaction to Utrecht.

    And I'll hope EPB gets a better loan next season.
     
  4. They did win a friendly game against Royal Antwerp! ...without Internationals Karol Niemczycki, Erik Palmer-Brown, Alex Gerbscha en Gervane Kastaneer.

    Well, the world is sort of expected to go nuts with ethnonationalism about once per century, no? Except this time we got nukes.

    No wonder other animals look at us with sad eyes. Shame we'll be taking everything bigger than a roach with us.

    On a happier note, Yahoo! includes EPB (with Lewis, Amon and De La Torre) as possible late call-ups into the U-23 setup for when the qualifier starts:

    EPB started and played 90 minutes today in a 1-1 draw against VVV Venlo.

    He really just needed games to show his stuff.

    Where do we think his next loan is?

    Some Championship team. Eventually, most of our guys make it to the Championship, which is sort of like the MLS of Europe.

    He's going to have to make a permanent move probably with the loan restrictions starting up. Plus I don't think he'll meet WP requirements anyways.

    He’s always ended up in the weirdest places so I’m putting my money on Limassol or something ridiculous

    I'd reckon a return to Portugal maybe or perhaps Denmark.
     
  13. He could ask ManCity to buy off his contract for half the time he has to go and go into the transfer window as a free agent.
    Probably he than gets a contract in Belgium or so.

    Closer and closer to a Gold Cup call-up.

    Only 4 points off the relegation playoff and 5 off safety with 6 games to go, crazier things have happened.

    6 games left, 4 against teams in the bottom half, including Emmen, the team they’re trying to catch. You have to think if they can make it out of the automatic relegation spot they’d be a tough team to take on in a playoff, because it would mean they’re on a bit of a streak.
     
  19. If they end up in the play off for the two Eredivisiespots, they will face some formidable clubs with years Eredivisie experience.
    upload_2019-4-4_16-19-42.png

    FC Twente most likely will be crowned champions in two matches and secure the direct promotion.
    Sparta Rotterdam and FC Den Bosch are period champions with a guaranteed spot in the play offs.
    Other teams that probably will be in the play off, that are strong contenders are Go Ahead, RKC Waalwijk, SC Cambuur, Roda JC, NEC. All with Eredivisie experience.

    I've seen you post tables like this before. Do you have some command line library to get latest tables? If so, what a wonderfully nerdy thing!

    In Linux, using the command line you can have the current scores mailed to you every hour on the hour (or every 10 minutes) with this utility:

    https://github.com/architv/soccer-cli

    It also has tables, news, past scores, personal records, etc. All you need is to have python (2, not even 3) installed, then follow the instructions (make sure to get your API key from https://www.football-data.org/ and create the key .soccer-cli file with no new line character at the end).

    The league codes are found on the Football Data web site under API Reference/Competition. There are also club codes (BAY for Bayern, for example) and player codes (all numbers).

    Pipe whatever you want through the mailer, set it as a cron task every hour (or every 10 minutes), and you get it on the go, quick to read.

    The table result of the Eredivisie shows like this:

    2019-04-04-141059_1280x800_scrot.png

    Other codes: PL = Premier League, SA = Serie A, BL1 = Bundesliga, PD = La Liga, PPL= Liga NOS, ELC = Championship, BL2 = 2.BuLi.

    Funny, never thought this way of doing things was nerdy at all, just convenient.

    PS: It's all free of charge, and could be made to work in Windows, I bet.

    You've gotta be in some form of IT. It definitely takes a programmer to not think using the command line is nerdy.

    I'm not a coder at all, I just do it for fun on my days off. I'm a researcher (physical chem).

    Am a "coder" and this is more thorough than a lot of documentation at my workplace! Not sure I need/want to automate my soccer viewing as it already takes up too much of my time and headspace, but very cool nonetheless! Will consider it...

    And @TarHeels17, I guarantee once you start using the command line and getting comfortable with it you'll agree that it's a better and faster way to use and navigate through a computer. I wouldn't consider myself a power user, but it's the only utility on any machine that you can open, edit, manipulate files as well as navigate through the directory and like the magic above, interact with data and even other machines all in one place. All our fancy mice/trackpads and screens are just built on top of this tool.
