    He's gone. Bad news for Dutch football. After Collins John and now Robben, I wonder how many more Dutch youngsters will leave for an English subs bench next season. I almost want to tell them to play badly in Portugal.

    I'm not sure he'll be on the subs bench. He could easily win the job and force another sale.

    Of course he could only play in 35 games a year instead of 50 or 60, and prolong his career and make a ton more money.

    I wish I had a nickel for every dumb young footballer who said such things. It's one thing to leave a minor club, particularly in a domestic move. But to leave a major club where you are thriving and learning when you're that young is always a gamble.

    But who knows? Maybe he'll learn to stop diving...

    Anyway, he's a major talent and I hope it works out for him (and Holland) in the long run. And of course I'm glad he won't come back to the Arena next year (except maybe in the CL!); he tore Ajax apart this year.

    I hate Chelski. HATE!!

    The funniest picture I've seen in a while was when Chelsea went to Istanbul to play Galatasaray in the CL. At airport was a crowd of angry Turks. One of them was holding a sign: "Welcome to Hell, Chelsea Bastards!"

    That was funny.
