jtb, you must be Demba Ba's biggest fan :lol.

I think he's a really good player. he played well at West Ham and was fantastic at Newcastle, basically dragged them to 5th place on his own. I was furious Wenger didn't buy him when he had that dirt cheap release clause and he moved to Chelsea instead. He was wasted at Newcastle once Cisse entered the picture and then wasted again at Chelsea and fits the mold for exactly what we need. Stupid stupid stupid.

Wenger will get a chance to atone for that mistake this summer, though. I can only hope he makes the right decision.

Only thing about this is that the rest of the Eredivisie sucks at the moment as well. Normally it would have been impossible to win the league four times in a row with our current squad.

I'm glad you have realised this as well...now for the rest of the country..

Well yeah, with how many points we lost there's not much more to say about it. If we win the last two games we'll end with one point less than last season. People seem to forget Jol got more points than De Boer ever did with Ajax. Oh and not to forget the 100+ goals. Still bullshit Twente took the title with their 1-0 wins all season.

LVG won the CL with Ajax right? that's seems more impressive to me
LVG created one of the finest teams of the generation.

He used a lot of young Dutch players and won the CL. It was a triumph for the Dutch academy system. They got to the CL final the next year too but lost to Juve in a penalty shootout after extra time.

Van den Sar
F. De Boer
R. De Boer
Rijkaard
Seedorf
Davids
Overmars
Kluivert

Were all in that Ajax side.

Wow is that true? That's insane. Little Jol and his brother are so stupid. What about mister Pannenkoek 'die derde ster' van Basten?

These fellas are all in our current staff. Great generation.

Nah, his season was dire. De Boer never reached his low.

De Boers stats are 73 (+42 GD), 76 (+57 GD) and 76 (+52 GD) points btw. Most likely we'll end up with 75 points this season. Currently with a +41 GD.

Martin Jol: 85 points (+86 GD).

Well there's that.

Kind of bums me out we missed out on the title in years we played much better and had guys like Suarez and Huntelaar scoring 30+ goals. And now we keep winning lol

I love the butterfly effect that happened. All because Vince Carter rose from obscurity to shoot a game winning 3 against the Spurs.

I honestly can't believe MLS is gaining popularity with this kind of TV exposure(MLS Live is a paid for service a la WWE Network/Netflix).... Guess its great that people are actually physically attending the matches instead of just watching though...

eh baseball is rarely nationally televised but they're raking in ridiculous amounts of money via local TV deals. if MLS can maintain grassroots support and can keep people coming to games, that's a good thing and it'll lead to better things financially down the road.
