The Dutch Eredivisie

[Maradona37]

Do you follow all these leagues? How do you predict the leagues you don't watch?

Here's an example, it gives info in terms of odds and form guide. Obviously we can look these up ourselves but it's handy in one place. As a Premium Member I also have access to PL and CL match previews, which are handy. I sometimes read them but I make the decision myself. They're a nice supplement though.

So a pretty mediocre night last night. 4 greens and 6 reds. To be fair, though, the outcomes I got wrong were mostly pretty big upsets. It can take a lot of courage to predict an upset as the odds are against it and you know most will predict the sensible outcome, so if it goes tits up you know you lose ground to the majority of people. I have did it before, but it's not something I make a habit of. Changing to Aberdeen 2-1 last minute from 1-1 was inspired.

Udinese were 2-0 up the pricks.

Yeah it was one of those.

That's why some PL weeks are higher than others in scores on there - some weeks have more 'straightforward games' and other weeks have tighter games in general.

For what it i worth I did have a good Serie A gameweek in general - I moved up 24 places in one of my mini-leagues (almost 200 people in it) and I was the third-highest scored (equal with three others) with nine points. So it was pretty good. However, I do have red arrows for the Scottish league.

I am sure it will come back around - some weeks are good, some are not so good.

Also, most of what I got wrong is Scottish football - which ironically is what I tend to know least about.

Dodged yet another dangerous challenge.

They don't run a game for the League Cup. The do for FA Cup.

@Horatio bad night of predictions, more red tonight than on my ex-gf's time of the month.

A few things went wrong late on. I think @Temptation has cursed me after giving me the big build up. Just using this thread for now.

I am gonna do my predictions for tomorrow's games later (26 of them) so I will post them.

Ajax climbed back to pole position.

Farioli has won over fans even though was receiving criticism and skepticism for not playing “Ajax” way and too defensiveZ

Doing great job with material available.

One to watch.

Similar to Flick's Barca.

Do you support Ajax or else, Horatio?

I prefer AZ and PSV lol.

Ajax fans remind me tad too much of Real fans even though Ajax has strong connection with Barca.

I am not fully upset when they do well since a portion of my family has very close ties with the club. Won’t get into details as gician would doxx me.

 

[Windhook]

I can go into details. In the 90's supporting Ajax was cool. Actually I was influenced by my brother who was a huge fan of Marco Van Basten and one of my earliest memories watching football was Euro 1992. I still remember his disappointment.

Ajax winning the 1994/95 CL, then losing the 1995/96 final was defining moment how I hate Juventus till this day.

Yes. Ajax history is lovely. Rich history of amazing players.
Would imagine is cool in 90s. Great generation of dutch players.
Good you got to enjoy it.

But fans act elite and entitled lol.
