Odds are stacked massively against Ajax now. They need to beat both Groningen and Heracles Almelo. They will beat Heracles, should be no problem. Groningen however will not be a walk in the park. I expect Ajax to win, but 3 points shouldn't be taken for granted. Ajax to steal it 2-1

PSV however, 1 point will secure the title and against Vitesse Arnhem, can't see them struggling. PSV to win 3-0. And giving them the Eredivisie.

lol if only that were a realistic offer ...I'm sick of mediocre seasons in the Championship, but y'know, I wouldn't have it any other way lol...I wouldn't be a Norwich fan if it weren't...

That's true I guess...the charm of the competition.

If Ajax wins tomorrow it very well could be Ajax this year. But it would be fair if PSV won the title, they were the best troughout the season.

Ajax could've won it if it wasn't for their dip in form over Christmas. The thrashing of Rotterdam got them back on track, but they've been unable to recover.

What about AZ Alkmaar? They always seem to come against some British side in the UEFA Cup...

Alkmaar are quite low in the league if i remmeber rightly. Only reason they do well against British sides is beacues they're British


And The Championship is crazy. Getting tighter and tighter each year.

Tim, can I ask, how the hell do you keep up to date with Dutch football when you're based in Staffordshire lol?

Originally posted by WojBhoy[..]

Erm...yes lol. I wouldn't call it a charm, more desperation...

Indeed, ridiculously close, and in fact so close that the gap between the Prem. and the Champ. is getting wider - look at Derby as a case in point. Who do you follow, if anyone?

I keep track of all the major European leagues. Serie A, Eredivise, Championnat and La Liga. German football doesn't bother me that much. We used to get a lot of Dutch football on channel 5 early in the morning, which i used to record and watch, so that kinda got me interested in Dutch league football.
