Hey don't dismiss Tottenham's opportunity to lose the 2 horse race coming 3rd again. :P (yes it's actually still possible although very unlikely)

Given how unlikely it is I think it's more a 1 horse race. Losing a 1 horse race... now that would be embarrasing

In reality, they are in the Champions league and have nothing left to play for. They play Man U who... well, aren't trying because of the Europa and then Leicester, both loseable games. Last game of the season is Hull who are fighting for survival, so there is a chance they could lose all 3 when Man City, 3 home games against easy opponents and Watford could easily win all 3.

But unlikely.



Hmm, pie.

DIRK KUYT WITH THE HATTRICK TO WIN US OUR FIRST LEAGUE TITLE IN 18 YEARS



Holy shit Kuyt is a legend.



Couldn't have gone anymore perfect yesterday! Dirk Kuyt had already been put on a pedestal, but now he's really immortalized in the eyes of the fans. I'm really happy he of all people was the hero of the day, such a deserved end (probably) to his career.

I'm assuming Poklane is somewhere in here right now, or somewhere else in the endless mass of people outside the boundaries of this photograph;



Wow I didn't even know Kuyt was still playing. He's brilliant :)

Congrats to Chelsea too!

I'm somewhere in the red circle lol. I'm on like 3 hours of sleep right now, couldn't fall sleep until 2.30am and had to get up before 6am so I could on the train early enough to be there. Was there when the gates opened after 8.30, that section was closed off because it was full at 9am. Already witnessed someone who pissed/shit their pants at 9.30am because he was too drunk LOL, he was being carried away by 2 guys. Also, my feet, knees and back are fucked, turns out that standing still or barely moving for over 4 hours isn't that healthy.



Congrats to Chelsea, now let's see if Real will use the extra match they have to finally finish things in spain.

I didn't think things would be that close



Well, my fantasy football week was crap, loads of double games in the Prem and about 5 players only actually played one game, plus captained Costa thinking 'they need goals and to win the league'.... near everyone else captains Sanchez. Meh, useless game anyway.



Hmm, pie.

According to Dutch website Voetbal International the new Eredivisie structure which would see the amount of teams be reduced from 18 to 16 and would see the top 6 after each regular season playing another 10 matches each after all points being halved will not be happening. The vote needed 15 of 18 Eredivisie teams to vote in favor in order to pass, but only 8 teams voted in favor. Willem II, Excelsior, NEC, Sparta, Roda JC, ADO Den Haag, FC Groningen, Heracles Almelo, Go Ahead Eagles and Feyenoord all voted against the proposel, with Feyenoord voting against because we want turf to be banned from the Eredivisie.

There was also a proposel to keep the amount of teams at 18 and have the top 6 teams play each other just once after the regular league, but the top teams didn't approve of this.
