Damn, this takes me back… football on teletext
The middle bracket of the last few seasons are currently in the 2nd division or in/near the relegation zone.
This season you’re either in the top 6 or in risk of relegation. The gaps will probably get bigger after the first half of the season, but so far I’m loving it.
You still have Teletext in Holland?
They recently updated it even, so it could be used for at least a decade more
They aren’t the only ones that have not ditched Teletext…
-
RKC - Ajax has been suspended with the score of 2 - 3 with only of couple minutes left to play.
-
AZ - NEC has been as been suspended with the score of 1 - 2 with only of couple minutes left to play.
Sidenote: No this is not a meme, Teletext is still very popular in The Netherlands
-
Go Ahead Eagles, Sparta, Excelsior, PEC Zwolle and Fortuna in the play offs spots/upper half, no one would have believed that a few seasons ago.
Eagles quietly having an amazing season.
I honestly love the shake up that the Eredivisie has had. Besides top 4 and maybe volendam, you could not have predicted any of the teams there.
Gotta love teletext. Ajax climbing slowly the table
The craziest thing about this is the 5 goals conceded in 12 games for us.
I would’ve believed Ajax’ collapse and currently being 12th over us conceding so few goals lol
This also highlights how many “traditional” Eredivisie sides are currently in the lower tier. FC Groningen, Willem II, NAC Breda, Roda JC, ADO Den Haag, arguably (but not as consistently) de Graafschap…
