荷蘭附加賽的制度，是非常複雜。
首先甲組包尾，乙組第一，是篤定升降，而甲組16及17，將要和乙組八隊波爭兩個甲組席位。
當中賽制分三圈，首圈只有4隊荷乙球隊作淘汰，
這四隊是來自荷乙每隔六周計一次的小型聯賽榜，得出六隊小型冠軍，
這六隊小型冠軍將以勝和負分數再比較，分數高的前四，亦可參加首圈比賽。
故此連聯賽排17的泰斯達、排14的奧斯以及第8的多德勒支亦有份參賽，
但當中六個冠軍亦包括了直接升班的芬洛以及兩隊2-5名的隊伍，
故首圈席位，順推至第6的馬斯特里赫特亦有份。
首圈賽事，馬斯特里赫特及多德勒支勝出，
馬斯特里赫特將和甲組迪加史卓普踢八強戰，勝方將和乙2的華域克及精英隊爭1個甲組席位；
另一線，
多德勒支將和甲16的洛達爭，勝方將和乙3的甘堡爾及乙4的施禾利，爭另一個甲組席位。
賽制不設作客入球，
兩回合賽事以勝和負310分數作計算，如兩回合分數相同，將經過第三回合，再同分便計算得失球差。
這賽制可謂歐洲球壇最令人摸不著頭腦的。

Letter to Arsene (After knocking out of the FA Cup)
Dear Professor,
I am an Arsenal fan who support the gunners since Season 00/01. You bought fantastic dounter attack football to us and we are absolutely enjoyed it. I have no huge opposition for your youth policy on the grounds of saving the club from bankrupting. In fact, I quite enjoy watching young talented players developed and watching them help us to climb back to the top level of Arsenal's football. However, unlike the highly rated teenagers, your tactical skillls remained rubbish.
I have heard that you gave nothing about opponent in every pre-match team talk. You want the team to enjoy playing for their best football. Holding their nerve will probably drop their speed. I can understand that. I know it is part of the reason why Arsenal always score early goals in Cole-Pires-Henry time. But please also look back to you dark history. You did not have any plan B.
The best example is your past record against Mourinho's Chelsea. You won no games against that Chelsea. We have leaded Chelsea for a couples of time, but after the lead, Mourinho alwways bring some fresh legs to change the tactics to beat our defenders, our team, our long-serving manager.
I am very disappointed after the team being knocked out in their first semi-final in the rebuilt Wembley. We play not good, but either does Chelsea. We are hopefully going to the final stage of 2 cups. But it seems we are not going to one any one of them when you pick our team to play.
Defenders blows is part of the reason of conceding stupid goals, but it is never the main reason. I will choose the 19-year-old Karren Gibbs to be our Man of the Match even he is just a boy. I can understand the situation makes our Polish goalkeeper nervous starting from the first minute of the game on his birthday. I do not blame him. I think every fan will forgive him as we do not have other goalkeeper choice.
The main critics is about the midfield. Every Arsenal fan knows Denilson is useless. He has got no pace, no vision, no stamina, no defensive skill. I think nobody except you believe he can play as a defensive midfielder. Also, we know Diaby always suck. He is not a concentrated player and easily lose the ball in the center of mildfield. With these two players play alongside Fabregas, not only the creativity of our skipper will be hindered, but also the covering of the back four is not enough. In the first half, We have no real threats in front of Cech except the goal. We saw both Diaby and Denilson lost the ball for 3 or 4 times. I should pray Drogba or Anelka to seize any of the chances to score goals. Maybe this can wake you up.
You should bring the on-form Song to the midfield. We also see the partnership of Song-Fabregas in the Champions league match. Song wins the ball and Fabregas uses the ball. It is another Flamini-Fabregas chemcial reaction. But you keep both Denilson and Diaby on the field. You should also bring Nasri or Arshavin on the midway in front of Fabregas as there is no bridge between the isolating Adebayor and the other players. It is quite heartbroken when we saw him being subsituted off by Bendtner and then saw we lost the game.
The best defend is to attack. We have 5 fit strikers can play and we lost 5 important defenders. Would bt great to see the team play attacking football with Chelsea, which fits your football philosophy? you should bring another high score match to us, as Benetiz bought us a 4-4 game in Stamford bridge in the midweek.
History pasts. Only the 2 legs Champions league semifinal remained in our season. We do not need you to explain for your formation setup to us because we all know you are a good excuse finder. Please use the remaining 10 days to preapre the ManUtd game. Use your Carling Cup kids to play the Liverpool league games. You like your kids to get experience, doesn't you?
We all need a cup. Please don't leave it long.
Yours,
An Arsenal fan

Premier League is all about Big Four
In recent years, the Premier Leauge has been claimed to be the strongest league in the world. I doubt that. It's all about the big four. I don't think the strength of four teams can represent the strength of the whole league. The semi-finals of the Champions Leauge has been dominated by the big four for a few years, but, to me, this just shows that the big four has been the topest five teams in Europe or, maybe, in the world. Once I had been convinced that the Premier League was the strongest league. However, since yesterday I have had doubt. If the Premier League is the strongest league, how come there is no english team in the semi-finals in the UEFA Cup? Although what I call mid-tier teams (I don't know if there is the term.) seem to be stronger (like Everton for a few years and Aston Villa for this year), they are just getting stronger in their own league rather than in the european games. It may be reasonable to say the rate of getting stronger of the Premier Leauge is greater than that of other leagues. In my opinion, there has to be more teams in the final stages of various rather than one international club game if a league is to claim to be the strongest.
