Personally, I enjoyed watching it but in the Dutch media there was a lot of criticism.
Not directed at Ajax, but they're worried what this means in regards to the Eredivisie as a league.
The media overhere often refers to the Eredivisie as a 'Mickey Mouse' league.
I think this is an incident and I think the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A have a bigger problem where one team wins the league every year and with quite a lot of difference in points.
What are your thoughts when you see a score like this?
Is it bad for the image of the league? Is it good for Ajax' image?

Honestly? I chalk it up to a wild year.
We're going to get some weird games and strange scores...I wouldnt look into this year for too much in terms of long-term planning.
I kind of feel like this season is just playing it out due to sponsor obligations and trying to generate whatever revenue they can.
