    [Film] GLADIATOR 2

    Thoroughly enjoyed it. Made sure I didn't watch the original and took it as it was meant, a follow up from the original. Although not 100% sure Paul Mescal was right for the role personally. The use of CGI for the monkeys was also really weird.

    Insane how many he got away with today!

    Never forgiven him after that Spurs game.

    That would be van de Bruggen. It's an old Dutch word meaning to sell.

    If that's onside, what a pass and what a goal. Hugely needed.

    Wonder what Cook has to do for a yellow card?

    Not quite :) Bruggen suggests a plural > that suggests it's bridges. Ver- means it's a verb. However, it's a really old word meaning to sell! https://www.ensie.nl/woordenboek-van-populair-taalgebruik/verbruggen

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    Interesting though, I seem to remember everyone I knew buying a shirt from this season, even before the sale. Both home and away and the special pink one. Very surprised they haven't tried to bring the latter back as it was very popular and still is.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    Fair point. Even better then for chances on getting tickets.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    My Albion+ member here. I got the ticket for Marseille easily and Rome the day before the game. Ajax and Athens I sat in the home end as: 1.) Amsterdam was the easiest to get to and probably the favourite and 2.) Athens had a really small allocation. Had we had 500 more tickets I probably...

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Bi-annual post to remind people that if you’re looking for a tour next year, come to The Netherlands! Would be great to have some teams from Sussex this year coming over. 😊

    [News] Trouble in The Dam

    Yeah happened last night, more unfortunate that it was at 1940-45 square. Which makes me think an external actor is instigating this to further cause division in Dutch society. It’s really not a Gaza v Israel thing for a lot of these people, it’s Islam v Judaism. The pro-Palestine protests...

    [News] Trouble in The Dam

    I don’t know how many times it needs to be said but it absolutely wasn’t anything to do with Ajax or any football fans for that matter.

    [Football] Europa League

    Honestly class this and a 2-0 win against Hearts to go with it. For context, Heidenheim's rise is like ours. Slowly but surely managed to get successive promotions and the manager has been the same since 2007 when they were in the 5th tier of German football. A proper club.

    [Misc] The Athletic

    Black Friday is coming up and they normally do a deal then. Mine expired in September and there's no way I am paying full price for it so best just to wait. Some stories are still free.

    [News] Trouble in The Dam

    Unsurprising really. Wilders, the leader of the most popular party in The Netherlands, is a friend of Netanyahu and is very anti islam. In Greece, I'm not sure who was attacking them but in this case it is obvious who the perpetrators of the attack were. Netanyahu will use this in Israel to...

    [News] Trouble in The Dam

    It's massive here because hooliganism on the streets hasn't been this bad in years here. Normally the trouble occurs in stadiums themselves due to the away regulations (every match is a bubble match). Added to the fact people from all over the country came to Amsterdam to cause trouble, as had...

    [News] Trouble in The Dam

    Absolutely this. There was a protest organised outside the stadium and the mayor thought it was a good idea to move it... 1km away. It's just pure incompetency all round.
