Heerenveen 57 points + 18 Vitesse H, Heracles A, Twente A FW H

6 points clear with 4 to go and all the momentum? Congrats to all! The most astounding championship I've ever seen Ajax win. Couldn't be more symbolic either, so shortly after the (Greek) tragedy that had the club on the edge of self-destruction. Ancient hero, left for dead on the battlefield, reappearing as ninja ghost to haunt the dreams of every opponent ever faced. Once they realize it's not a dream, their throat is already sliced.

On fire, baby!

Not a great game, fair enough, it takes two to tango - and De Graafschap didn't want to tango.

We did the business. Fair enough.

We can actually afford to lose two of the remaining four games and still clinch the f*cker on goal-differential.

Amazing. At one point we were 13 points behind AZ; now we're 6 points ahead of them. We were 7 points behind PSV; now we're 8 points ahead of them. A few weeks ago there were no less than six contenders for the title; it was very tight; now there's a serious chance that we'll grab the shield before Queen's Day (30 April), three games before season's end.

What in the name of God happened here?

I like it; that's for sure.

That's exactly what Frank de Boer said after the game. Good analysis.

Right around the winterstop I was convinced that we were headed for another lost season, yet here we are, on the verge of our second title in a row. I don't know what to make of it, but I'm not complaining.

it is unbelievable .And consider we have had both full backs out for a long period ,both wingers out and we play a midfielder as a striker its even more surprising. 84 goals scored is some going .

Anyway lets just win next week and then we are nearly there.

Makes you wonder if such a drastic reversal is unique, nationally or internationally.

This is a pretty cool site if you like math or graphs. Check out the Dutch league: http://www.euroclubindex.com/asp/leagueodds.asp

On a scale from 0-100 Ajax was practically at 0, and now is at 97. In just a couple of months. Absurd.

That site is awesome. Love it.

As long as the months of March and April aren't outlawed, Ajax will almost always have a chance .
