    watcha gonna do...

    ... this weekend with us not having a game?

    Decent weather expected Saturday, up to 25 degrees so I'll do a 50km ride in the morning and I'll be out and about looking for 2 new sofas in the afternoon.

    Sunday it's the "Klassieker" - Feijenoord v Ajax at 13:30 CET. One to watch on the box. For those who think Pool/ManU, Wet Spam/Millwall, Leeds or Forest/Derby are tasty affairs between fans.... away fans have been banned from the games since 2009 due to the extent of the "skirmishes". No sign of the ban being lifted. The Dutch Cup Final is, historically, played in Feijenoord's ground. I'm waiting to see what happens the next time the 2 meet in the final... will they relent and go 50/50 or will they play it in an empty stadium? The only 2 other possibilities are PSV's stadium in Eindhoven or that of Vitesse in Arnhem and IMO the mayors of both cities would not allow the match to take place due to the expected levels of violence and damage.. and, yes, they do have that power.

    Later Sunday, maybe eat out at one of the local restaurants.

    Strangely enough, on the throne as I write this (lid down!) as it’s the only place 4g works in the whole house
