In 1971, ADO Den Haag, the Club involved, scored three second half own-goals in a 4-0, UEFA Cup defeat against Wolves .... so things have been worse !

"Since winning his first game in charge, ADO Den Haag have lost three and drawn two of the following four games, leaving them six points clear of safety and four away from a relegation play-off."

And that's not easy to do - ask any mathematician.

I'm looking forward to Boysie, Tarky's Ears and KRBFC crashing in on Sean's tactical session at Barnfield. I'm sure SD will listen respectfully and amend the plan accordingly.

I suspect ringo, rightwinger and those that way inclined might be more likely to share ado's values.

The Gaffer would have them on toast, then they'd poo their keks and be made to have a dip in the river.

You have to ask the question.....

Why on Earth do clubs keep paying Alan Pardew to do anything other than make the tea?

I lived in Den Haag early 90s. I never watched ADO Den Haag.

It's part of Dutch culture, they have an obligation to point out your faults, whoever you are, whatever area you have "faults" in their opinion.

I worked with Dutch colleagues for around 5 years in my consulting days - my southern colleagues couldn't cope with their directness and bluntness - I found it quite northern (and refreshing) they always liked to party as well

I like how they've drawn three & lost two of their following four games :?
