cheers HH and calm down BaDM......if we dont come here..you cant have a pop...see it like that...pop away
nah - me and Piskie have an understanding. We do battle over anything pretty much, and then chat calmly on PMs. Jekyll & Hyde - the paIr of us.
Regarding the Dutch implosion, this went through a couple of dutch sites: * Van der Wiel never interacted with the group and was only busy with his music and cloth line * VDV and Huntelaar were a pain in the ass. They pushed for their spot in such a matter that van Marwijk was angry all the time. According to NRC most Dutch players do not want to play with Huntelaar anymore. * Afellay has developed stardom attitude for belonging to the Barca squad. His arrogance made him hated in the team. At least he acts like a typical Dutchman. Was not prepared to chip in for a present for around 10 Euro's. He and RVP separated from the group and acted arrogant. Bouhlarouz was also part of their group. * Afellay said apparently a few times: "I play at Barcelona, where do you play?" * Van Persie said to the group that he was the best player of the Premier League and had certain unaccepted privileges. * Robben backs the coach in front of the camera, but calls bullsh*t on van Marwijk when he is not there. He clearly does not share the same vision as Bert. * Van Bommel was captain, but was not accepted as such by the group. He was nicknamed in the group as coach assistant or something like that. * Sneijder was the only one really trying to make something from it and be a moderating force in the group. talked with the coach, talked with players. Wanted to win Euro 2012 and we also saw that on the field. * Heitinga is seen by many players as the leak in the team, not only defensively. Heitinga has good connections with de Telegraaf and wants to return to the Netherlands (read: play in the Bundesliga) for his wife, who wants to do some TV things like RTL Boulevard, who were the first to mention some information from the closed-training sessions. * Players celebrated when Robben missed the penalty in the CL-final * Players tried to hurt each other during trainings * Bouma pushed a doctor. * Some players where angry Bouma and Willems got selected and not Maher, Emanuelson or Anita How messed up is that?
Ouch, makes me feel really sorry for Wesley Sneijder, poor guy actually cared about winning things, and was held back by his moronic teammates.
The dutch and their egos .... Cruyff and co must be disgusted. A nation with such obvious talent a bunch of fukwits behind closed doors. How does this bode for Arsenal though ... with RVP. The player should NOT be allowed to hold the club to ransom. I say sell him and use the money to replace him. If he goes to City, so what, they already have a number of great strikers, they can only play a set number in a game though.
Not implying anything about their egos, but the majority of those are not backed up by a single source. Interesting how no one cares about the credibility of reports when they can be used to bash people...
