BigBurk's 2011/2012 Dutch Soccer Thread

Unlucky Burk,it was just one of those days.AZ had about 20 shots on goal they just couldn't score in regular time.

What do you think of this weekend's match between Heerenveen and Heracles? Heerenveen are at long last finding some form and Heracles are always able to find the back of the net.
The only downside is the line of my bookie,Over 3,25 goals...

Yeah I'm finding it very hard to pick some matches for this weekend. All my picks have totals like you mention; 3,25 at least. It's like the bookies want us to pick unders, but I don't like unders at all.

Same for Heerenveen - Heracles indeed, I capped it at almost 4 goals.....

Do you ever play any of the Jupiler League games? I usually like to play the overs when the juice isn't too high.

[BigBurk]

Not so much! Don't know enough about it plus It's so unpredictable since anyone can win from anyone at whatever score!

[BigBurk]

Like I already said, I dont like the card at all this weekend in the Eredivisie. Sticking with only one (big) play:

09/24/11 Ajax (HOL-E) -½ -139* vs Twente (HOL-E) *LOCKED* (5 units)

[Don van Vliet]

You were right Burk,apart from the PSV game all matches went under yesterday.As for the Ajax game they should have been 3 goals clear at Half time then you know what will happen it's the same at every level the other team is still in the match scores and ruins your handicap

[BigBurk]

It was another bulshit match at Ajax yesterday like you said, Ajax should have been up 3-0 at the half time and ended Twente's match ambitions. With 15 mins left you already felt that Twente would get the equalizer in... And they did. Ajax deserved it, missing so many chances.

[BigBurk]

09/25/11 AZ Alkmaar (HOL-E) -124* vs Feyenoord (HOL-E) *LOCKED* (5 units)

[BigBurk]

How about this one;

[BigBurk]

any reaeson why you like vitesse so much. thanks

Excelsior is in such terrible form this season, with only collecting one point until now.. I don't expect them to do any better against Vitesse, who seem to be getting better lately after a poor start.

This one *should* be a fairly easy win for Vitesse.

[BigBurk]

what a game by Groningen
hope Vitesse can win!

lol yeah.. I was sure it was over with that late 2-1 by the Graafschap. Deserved victory for Groningen though.

[BigBurk]

Vitesse up 0-1 after 11mins.

[kuma_eagles]

Vitesse up 0-1 after 11mins.

let's get one more
so i can move on to watch the aston-qpr game

[kuma_eagles]

2-0 you the man

[BigBurk]

looking good indeed. If they keep this 2 goal margin until the break it won't go wrong.

very well done sir

[Don van Vliet]

Great picks Big man!

[BigBurk]

Thanks guys.

[BigBurk]

I'm leaning towards Real Madrid -1½,2 tomorrow against Ajax. Last year Real crushed Ajax (2-0) in a match that should have ended in a 6-0 victory if Real had just had been a bit sharper in front of the goal.

I don't expect tomorrow's game to be yet a likewise game where Ajax will have their asses handed to them but I dó expect a bigger defeat for Ajax (still get where I'm coming from? ).

Waiting for the line movement until I make my decision. The over is a stellar option also btw.

[BigBurk]

As I said;

09/27/11 Real Madrid (UCL) -2 -113* vs Ajax (UCL) *LOCKED* (2 units)

[kuma_eagles]

Real Madrid -2 it is! Let's do it

[BigBurk]

Well, just like I said at half time. Ajax playing muchhh better than last season, even had some chances for the opening goal in the first 20 minutes, but still trailing by 2 at the end of the first half!

[BigBurk]

09/27/11 Real Madrid (UCL) -2 -113* vs Ajax (UCL) *LOCKED* (2 units) *WINNER*

Take it to the bank.

It went down exactly as I assumed it would. Ajax played a decent match but Real is just one or two sizes to big for the Ajax squad. Three goals all coming from fast breaks, an excellent quality of theirs.

Funny fact; Ajax had more posession of the bal (49-51), more shots and more corners... Just couldn't get the last pass or shot in. Excellent save by Casillias by the way on the Vertonghen header, I was already standing up thinking it'd go in!

Although Ajax has lost 3-0, I am sure the way the played gives them confidence for the match at Groningen this weekend. I'm thinking about taking Ajax on the ML, more on that later.

[kuma_eagles]

great call man

[BigBurk]

I'm (already) looking into tomorrows lines for the EL matches of AZ, PSV and Twente. All three having tough games with sharp lines! Will have at least one play tomorrow.

[phenomenon]

what about today ? I can t see ur plays brother...
