Viking has a lot of local lads in their squad. It doesnt help their performance.

One of the little yellow ones just started in my team at work, so I get double enjoyment if that happens as he's been a bit lippy.

Tippeligaen would be better if it was more norwegian players. I hate the fact that 0 people from the trøndelag region are playing for Rosenborg. I have literally 0 interest in watching a bunch of swedes and danish people run around on a pitch calling themselves Rosenborg, if i want mercenary oval office fotball then i can watch a bigger european league.

Welcome to every team in every sport in every league except Athletic Bilbao and the Montreal Canadiens in the 60s.

Good grief....

The FNG at work sounds is such a stereotypical canary it's not even funny. Every argument he's had all drat day has been a variant of something in a fanzine circa 1998. "We're the more historically strong and influential team, we were the main contenders during the 90's, we don't have the rich uncles and we don't have our fanbase in Odalen and Hadeland..." Add in the good old nicknames like "pENGA", "Søpla" and "Bydelslaget" and it's like I'm back on VGD.

At least Max Manus isn't that bad. Could you please teach your fellow yellows some new arguments?

So if Molde take the double this year, does that mean there's Euro opportunities for 4th place? I always forget how that stuff gets sorted out.

Maybe we won't need to catch up to any of those much better teams!

Yes, it'll go to number 4 in league if the winner of the cup is already qualified. Also, the fair play spot goes to the team most likely to implode. I think that's how they're chosen.

Does this mean you'll be cheering for Molde in the cup?

Well we still need to get 4th for that to matter. And I dont think Molde need a lot of cheering. Them and Odd in separate semifinals, feel rather confident that one of them will take it (even despite THE MAGIC of the cup)

I think we'll be safe with 30 points, we should be able to pick up 5 points during the rest of the season.

However, we're going to play VIF, Rosenborg, Godset, Molde, Stabæk and Odd (in that order) during the next weeks and I predict that we're going to pick up exactly 0 points and after that we're playing Brann which might turn into a relegation fight so I don't feel too good about this at all.

Ulf are doomed though, and I think Sogndal will go down with them.

The likely centre back pairing against Molde for Brann will be Hanstveit and Grønner, seen posing together in this picture:

Vålerenga - FK Haugesund on Sunday. Hopefully we'll win this one. Grindheim, one of our best players this season, is out. I hope that Rekdal starts with Stengel in the middle together with Heltne-Nilsen and Zahid. My fears is that he thinks Berre is good enough to start.

If you're old enough, you're good enough. Therefore Berre is the best, alongside Frode Johnsen.

I am liking this thing we've started doing where, when we're defending a lead and concede a goal, we go score another goal instead of running around like headless chickens until we lose the match. Contrast the LSK match to this one and the one against RBK.

Can't believe that meeting RBK, VIF, Molde and Godset has netted us 7 points, I didn't believe we'd get a single point from that set of matches beforehand.

The table as it stands right now:
code:
1	Molde		23	17	5	1	52-18	56
2	Odd		23	14	6	3	40-21	48
3	Rosenborg	23	12	6	5	47-37	42
4	Lillestrøm	23	10	7	6	36-25	37
5	Strømsgodset	23	11	4	8	35-33	37
6	Vålerenga	23	9	9	5	51-39	36
7	Viking		23	7	11	5	35-31	32
8	Stabæk		23	9	3	11	37-45	30
9	Sarpsborg 08	23	7	8	8	31-39	29
10	Bodø/Glimt	23	8	4	11	35-42	28
11	Aalesund	23	6	7	10	25-30	25
12	Start		23	7	4	12	36-48	25
13	Brann		23	6	4	13	32-40	22
14	Haugesund	23	5	6	12	30-38	21
15	Sogndal		23	5	6	12	24-37	21
16	Sandnes Ulf	23	2	8	13	18-41	14
Brann finally got away from the relegation zone. I hope they return. Viking joined the "will not get relegated" group and Sandnes Ulf seems lost. Molde, Odd and Rosenborg will probably take the top three although it is a close race with only six points between RBK (3rd) and VIF (6th).

Hopefully we'll get the three points against Molde on Saturday, but I don't think so. The defense isn't good enough and we don't have any central defenders with speed. But we do have Kjartansson.
