I think that there is some good value in FC Twente in this league at promoted Heracles. I make the visitors quite strong favourites for this game to be honest, and i see the bookies line has been set at the +-0 mark. Anything up from 1.60 I would gladly accept on this bet, making the +-0 at 1.75 at eurobet, a cracking offer.

Well AZ lay down a huge marker tonight!
An 8-1 demolition of NAC for van Gaal's boy showing that there is life after last seasons dissapointment when they missed out on their rightful place in the Champions League.
Interesting to see how PSV, Feyenoord and Ajax get on at home tomorrow. I have serious doubts about them with Roanld Koeman in charge. I believe PSV have erred bug time here in appointing him. They should have gone for Co Adriaanse. Ajax for me are the team to beat. They've recruited well and have the indian sign over PSV having beaten them in last seasons Cup Final and in the Johan Cruyff Shield.
Feyenoord I believe will finish 4th as they've lost too much quality in Kuyt and Kalou.

I am on a home double tonight - PSV and Ajax

Anyone with views to talk me off this

Cheers!

Don't think you can go far wrong but I'd be wary of PSV right now.
Good luck.

Sport	Football (Holland)
Event	Groningen vs Feyenord
Selection	Feyenord to win (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	20/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.74 (Lay)
Reasoning	Groningen vs Feyenord Gronigen's 13-3-1 last year made me to take this bet. And Gronigen is only better this season than they were last. On the other side, Feyenord isn't title chaser anymore. They should be happy with 4-5 position. Kalou left to CHelsea and Juyt to Liverpool so I really don't see any chance for Feyenord to win against one of the best home performers-Groningen. Lovre, Svejdik, Suarez, Kuqi joined Gronigen and I don't see them losing today at all. Feyenord will have many problems creating chances at all.

Impressive AZ yesterday.

[davidmphill]

The PSV / Ajax double looks good with both leading 2-0 at HT with last goals for PSV.
Heracles are 1-0 up on Twente who are down to 10 men so they must fancy their chances of a vital 3 points.
The game of the weekend at Groningen is level at HT 0-0. For selfish reason's I need a Groningen win, so come on!
Just seen the last 5 games here in Groningen and they've failed to win any between the 2 which doesn't bode well but they won't get a better chance with 3 players that scored 40 odd goals for Feyenoord missing from their team today and the influential Nicky Hofs suspended.

[davidmphill]

Goal for Groningen!!
Get in.
Man Utd reject Erik Nevland.

[davidmphill]

PSV and Ajax are both 3-0 up so they're home and hosed. Just need FC Groningen to hold on.

[davidmphill]

2-0 Groningen!!
Get in there you beauty

[davidmphill]

3-0 Groningen.
Game over, Glen Salmon.

Nice pick Dave

[davidmphill]

Cheers Kev, finishes 3-0 so happy days.
Feyenoord will be worried about how they're going to score the goals with Kalou and Kuyt gone and Castelen injured. I expect them to try and solve that soon but they'll do very well to get any players of the calibre of Kalou and Kuyt. They were big players for them last season.
AZ & Ajax looked the most impressive on Day 1. PSV seemed to struggle today with 2 late 1st half goals and a VOH goal in the 2nd half. Rumours are abound that VOH is lined up for a move to Celtic, if he does go he'll be tough to replace too.
Still fancy Ajax to win the Eredivisie but I hope PSV do it and i'm proved wrong with Koemans appointment.
AZ could well figure if they can continue to play the way they have done last season and the way they destroyed Breda on Saturday 8-1. Incredible scoreline.
