Whatever happens, Feyenoord do not lose
13 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Fedor Lapoukhov says Feyenoord went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Not going: Chris-Kévin Nadje stays at Feyenoord
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” VVV-Venlo had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
Match14 Aug 2027
The wait goes on for Feyenoord
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A row about effort at Feyenoord

Alexandre Penetra in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Feyenoord this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ryan Van de Beek steps up from the Feyenoord academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ryan Van de Beek has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Robin Hateboer joins the Feyenoord first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Robin Hateboer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
