Ajax lost to Club Brugge in Belgium. It hurts to admit that Ajax didn’t qualify even for the UEFA Cup competition but nothing could be said or done now. Frustration could be seen in various Ajax forums. Even Escude couldn’t seem to cope with the fact that Ajax finished at the bottom below Celta and Club Brugge. Yet, among all the gloomy posts in the forum, one post by Vak425 says:

You are letting your heart rule your head on this one Jakobg – a team that loses 4 out of the 6 games plus doesnt manage a point in the last 3 games doesnt deserve to go through to the next round. Also remember the trouble we had getting past a small Austrian side in the preliminary round.

If we are looking for result that dumped us on our backsides, look no further than that Brugge win in Milan.

What was missing out there tonight was a leader and some experience of how to deal with the situation.

This team has not been firing on all cylinders this season – cannot understand why as it has such wonderful skillfull players throughout the team.

So the Class of 2003/04 was not up to the challenge – role on 2004/05 and Hup Ajax we love you.

What’s done is done and looking at the bright side, Ajax at least could concentrate on stretching their lead over PSV, Feyenoord and a whole lot of other Dutch clubs in the Eredivisie. Sigh…

At least there’s still the Rose Bowl for the Wolverines.

p/s – The Green Party almost won the mayor post in San Francisco.
