What A Day in Holland!

I don't remember the last time a single day (- not even a full matchday -) in Dutch football had so many interesting encounters.

On Sunday, all four scheduled matches involve teams that may have something to say in the title race. Some, more than one.

Even Ajax could get back into the chase, particularly if PSV, Twente and Alkmaar, all playing in separate encounters, fail to win.
Four of these teams, PSV, Alkmaar, Heerenveen and Twente, all have chances of finishing the day on top of the Eredivisie, the last three if other results go their way.

The most mouth-watering matches are, of course, the traditional derby PSV - Feyenoord (with Feyenoord also just four points behind the pace of the leaders), and, of course, second versus third, Alkmaar - Heerenveen.

You know at least two of these teams will drop points. Which ones will it be?
And what if all six drop points?
(...Although, for Ajax's sake, it better not be them, or they could end up eight points behind the leaders, again, and all the hype after the victory against Man. U., at Old Trafford, would all be for nothing.









































































The matches:








12:30 -- Excelsior - Ajax
14:30 -- PSV - Feyenoord
