Football: it's good
Will be interesting to see if Molde manage to get anything away at Odd

Yesterday was a good day for Vålerenga. A match we were expected to lose ended in a draw. Lord Bendtner looks more and more like a player that's done with football.

No team wants that top spot for now, I guess they're all biding their time to sprint for the finish 15 games from now or something

And this match is really a bit painful watching Viking defend like this

Curious Celtic fan here: has Delia done well since he got the job there? He seemed well out of his depth with us but was quite likeable all the same.

He's doing average with an average team. Which is below expectations so far.

Definitely considered to be underperforming somewhat so far, but that's based on him doing really well last time he was in the TL combined with VIF fans demanding medals every season even when their squad isn't good enough to compete for them leading to somewhat overinflated expectations. With the table so constricted now (besides Viking anyway) it could change in a couple matchdays really.

after the complete shitshow that was last year, I really didn't think this season could get any worse. but here we are - not even halfway through the season, and already it's obvious it's going to take a miracle to not get relegated. fantastic.
now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go drink heavily. or something.

Always sucks when storied and well-supported teams drop into huge slumps like FFK have. Will the team survive 2nd division economically if it comes to that? The OBOS table isn't looking so crazy in terms of salvaging a spot next season (naturally this early in the season) but obviously being literally the worst team there so far doesn't lend huge hopes for a resurge in form either.

I'm sure glad we keep loving up all these games we could take more points in but graciously gift them away with embarrassing howlers or incompetence in front of goal, really cheapens the actually good results in a way that's just right

This AaFK - Odd match reminds me of the U21 England vs Norway game from a couple years ago or whenever it was when we looked amazing for 20 minutes or so without scoring and then conceded 6. Except this time, it's the cool and good team that gets to win???

Also drat this thread's dead now huh, RIP every Norwegian poster. I wasn't even good at posting here regularly last year since it was a bad + terrible season and now I'm basically reanimating its corpse on my own.

The table is pretty even this year, not very much at all separating 4th place from 15th at the moment.

Poor Viking are prolly hosed though.

Flovik got the sack at Tromsø. Not really surprising. Skullerud should be the next in line.

Høgmo is rumoured to take over, the same with Sigurd Rushfeldt.

RBK managed a draw against the mighty Kristiansunds BK.

Next round is the last one before the summer vacation. Fits to have three weeks off when the weather is nice and warm.

Vålerenga have signed FItim Azemi on a four year deal.
The former Molde attacker Sander Svendsen have signed for Hammarby. Which is just weird really.

I prefer to see multiple poo poo teams have a chance at winning instead of one slightly less poo poo team winning each year.

Luckily they don't get as much money as in Champions League, but it's still about 50 mill NOK. That would be about 3,5 Adegbenros.
