Friends in low countries
Being a Brexiteer doesn’t make me a xenophobic monster. Despite what the voices in your head might be telling you.
Our European cousins have always had a certain panache. If you don’t believe me, just watch that Vikings boxset.
The Dutch footballing authorities are postponing league games in order to give Ajax a better chance in their semifinal against us!
KNVB president Eric Gudde said: “We have looked at all kinds of ways to move games with Ajax progressing so far in the Champions League.
“We have presented our plans to all of the clubs. It is not ideal for everyone, I appreciate that, but this is not just helping Ajax. It is being done to help Dutch football as a whole because it means so much to be successful in Europe.”

Whilst I commend these dirt tricks – will the Premier League give Spurs a similar dig out?
Ajax were scheduled to play De Graafschap 48hrs before facing us Lilywhites, but now that game won’t happen.
As it stands, Spurs are still set to play a league game 48hrs before facing the Dutch!
Isn’t about time the Premier League showed some panache themselves?!
