After Bolton, Ajax is not a normal Matchday 6



By Myles Palmer

________________________________________________

AJAX has become important after that timid flop at the Reebok.

Before Bolton I’d heard that Arsene was gonna play a half and half team, resting Thierry.

Is that the right move after Saturday’s fiasco?

Is it sensible to pick a team that is frail and tentative and then complain after a 2-0 defeat that the performance was frail and tentative?

TONIGHT I will watch Chelsea v Liverpool.

We expect a low-scoring scrap.

AC Milan v Schalke?

I never bet on Italians to beat Germans.

But I’ve backed PSV to beat Fenerbahce.

Guus Hiddink is one of my main men.

TODAY SEES the coronation of King David Cameron, your next Etonian Prime Minister.

That prospect should delight zillions of Daily Mail/Daily Telegraph readers, who love the British class system because they need to know where they are and need somebody to look down on.

Since I prefer a social democratic model to the ancient class system, emigration could be the answer.
