That would be akin to us being 3-up against 10 men and losing. Not even we could do that....

After Ajax won 2-1 at Willem II on April 13, Opta calculated that they had a 99.3% chance of winning the title. They needed six points from their final five matches. All this with a team many perceive to be one of the poorest in recent Ajax history, playing an un-Ajax-like brand of football, under the team's first foreign manager. Total Football this was not; it was as far away from the club's Johan Cruyff-influenced DNA of stylish, attacking football as possible. But if you win a league title, who cares?
But then came the trips and tribulations. First came the 4-0 defeat to Utrecht, when a victory would have extended their lead to 12 points, then the 1-1 draw with Sparta Rotterdam. Any plans for title celebrations were altered: dates for planned processions moved back, and further back, as the supporters waited for what was surely an inevitable Ajax title. Then came a crushing 3-0 defeat at home to NEC Nijmegen, while PSV hopes grew as they won 3-2 at Feyenoord thanks to a 99th-minute goal.
Ajax's collapse was attributed to poor individual performances, the system and general misfortune. On Wednesday when they travelled north to Groningen, Ajax still had the fate of the league in their hands, sitting top of the table. But that deep-set neurosis played havoc again -- Ajax conceding a 99th-minute equalizer against 10-man opposition, meaning PSV held a one-point lead heading into the final matchday.
I wish we were as sh!t as they were but would not (for one moment) swap our final on Wednesday for their season.
Some great games in Europe’s most competitive league tonight, with lots still to play for at the top end. I’m on Roma/Milan, but there’s Inter/Lazio, Palma/Napoli, Fiorentina/Bologna
Ooh that’s a bit naughty by Gimenez
Yep, Gimenez gone, really stupid thing to do.
Mancini definitely milked it and went down delayed but Gimenez elbowed him in the chest off the ball for no reason at all. Stupid.

Oh we are dogshit at the moment but we definitely shouldn’t be the barometer for judging a top side. They’ve recruited very well but look overcoached, uncreative and very boring.

Big goal for Inter
Napoli still 0-0 
Our recruitment has been shocking for so long
Didn't sign Bowen, Eze or Wharton, but signed Rodon, Sessegnon (who we chased for years) and Gray.
Gray may turn out good in the end but at the moment he looks an awful lot of money for not much.
Big pen shout for Lazio
Ref’s on his way to the screen, here we go
Conte sent off in Napoli game
Silly boy Thuram
