Playoffs? Are You Kidding Me?
By: Matt | April 21st, 2008Let the silliest of seasons now begin! I am not even going to attempt an explanation of the Eredivisie playoff system. I will only refer you to the chart at the bottom.

I am glad you guys enjoyed that clip. Classic.

I read that they may push up the Ajax home game to this weekend b/c of some type of memorial day-type event in Amsterdam on May 4th. Heard anything about that?
