Edwin van der Sar's testimonial evening at the Amsterdam Arena last night was a three-pronged
affair, with the festivities opening with a match between Ajax U13s and Manchester United U13s,
with Poppa van der Sar's son Joe turning out for United.
Secondly, an Ajax '95 side took on Holland '98 with Marc Overmars scoring the only goal of the
game for the Amsterdammers, and a bit of a beaut it was too.
Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon is winning praise from his teammates after consistent excellent
performances against the Premier League's top strikers.
Gordon just recently was his team's star performer in a win at Blackpool, denying Luke Varney on a
on-on-one and twice acrobatically tipping over efforts from the much wanted Charlie Adam.
According to Luke Edwards at The Journal, Sunderland boss Steve
Bruce hopes to keep 34-year-old midfielder Bolo Zenden this summer. Bruce
said,
"Bolo Zenden knows exactly what I think of him ... I would love to keep him at the football club
.
Liverpool will be hoping there are no beach balls on the pitch when they visit the Stadium of Light
on Sunday.
The last time they faced the Black Cats at the Wearside venue, the now departed Darren Bent's
winning goal famously deflected into the net off such a piece of beach equipment.
But even if there aren't any beach balls, boss Kenny Dalglish knows there is a potential banana
skin to avoid, given the Reds have lost all three of their Premier League away games directly
following a Europa League matchday this season.
What is it with this team? Are we only allowed a certain amount of happy in one season? Are we
being punished for enjoying ourselves earlier in the year? It would appear so, as we just watched
our team fall to our third consecutive defeat in a fairly mediocre match. The most irritating thing
is that it seems like we just don't know how to play anymore.
