@robert kelly: it’s more a case of the other leagues regressing rather the Dutch league on the up. Psv is decent. Feynoord had a good result against the worst AC Milan team I can ever remember. Ajax are pale shadow of the club they used to be. Indeed, they were very to go through having lost at home to Royal Union. Twente was knocked out by the mighty Bodo. Dutch league itself is a goal fest every week. Entertaining perhaps but not a great standard overall.

@Ray Ridge: yea it’s probably a bit of both Ray. The last i seen it looked like Twente were going thru I didn’t realise they collapsed until after I posted so my bad and yea Ajax are a shadow of themselves but PSV and Feyenoord progressing in the champions and AZ in the europa, but it was actually more in relation to someone saying Parrot was at best a championship level player but I think the Dutch legue deserves more respect and Troy is showing his talent on arguably a much bigger stage and fair play to him. Hope Alkmaar go deep in it and they’re doing well in the league as well
