Aalesund will actually win the league and not be mediocre at all, because I just said so. Actually we're kinda hosed in midfield with Barrantes getting on and probably not happy with no transfer to sunnier climates or higher wages (though to be fair at least we're not at fault this time) and Ulvestad off, but that's okay. We can't have strikers that perform worse than the first two thirds of last season, we've got several young players with some potential and playing experience from last season as well, and our defense was basically one long injury-list last year so it has nowhere to go but improvement.

I never rated Aabrekk at all really before but hopefully he can prove me wrong and not be a clueless shithouse.

I enjoyed this for putting RBK third and also for putting Barrantes in every video thumbnail, a good post.

E: We're definitely coming third or fourth, above VIF, though.

Bit uglier than predicted, oh well. Had to go that way with Matland at back (somehow manages to be even more useless than Latifu) and that midfield, still.

We started poo poo last year too but at least we actually looked good in many matches and mostly lost due to awful finishing/bad luck. This year we look woeful, and how Matland is still a professional footballer much less getting played is beyond me.

Nice to see Aabrek out but while we may be able to stay up with a change there we'll never get anywhere with the current club leadership. Need to clear things out further methinks.

There we go. Still some pretty hilariously bad individual moments and we suck at defending corners and free-kicks, but at least players run now and we don't have a clown with glue under his boots on the back any more. Plus the simple pleasure of victory had almost been forgotten.

It was actually a pretty good match with lots of counters and the Big Chances statistic was like 5 - 4 by the end. One of your players managed to miss an open goal from 5 meters out for the biggest chance of the match and there was a shot in the crossbar too, but you were vaccinated from putting the ball in the net.

Some embarrassing results in this round to be sure. To be honest VIF are kinda mundane with a 1 goal loss especially given their apparently poo poo record the past 5 years. Laughing hard at Start and Haugesund though.

Stabæk are cool and good.
Not sure why VIF bought one of our defenders when our defense has been consistently among the shittiest ones in the league since we got promoted back in '04. Even when the team is good the defense is poo poo.

Would like more scoring on chances and less giving away amazing counter-attack opportunities.

Football is a poo poo trash sport for garbagemen like Mos who can't loving kick a ball in the net even though theyre paid to do so

E: I'm pretty sure he's missed at LEAST 6 enormous chances today including one-on-one with the keeper and three or four chances to poke it in from 5 yards out

What a poo poo match, but I'll take it. At least we finally started putting our chances. Red card was real harsh though, even if we were in resurgence before it that probably decided the game. Doubt we'd have managed more than a draw otherwise, 'cause we're poo poo.

Sure glad I didn't watch that poo poo friendly, it sounds dreadful. Good on VIF for not conceding I guess? loving lol at any RM plastics paying 4-digit numbers for a ticket to watch their team snore around the pitch though.

One week football is poo poo, next one it's good again, then back to poo poo. Thankfully, this week it is GOOD, but it was close towards the end.

PS: gently caress off Marcus Pedersen, poo poo for Brann in the OBOS league and even worse against a marginally less bad team today. No idea what SIF want with him but I'm glad he was on the pitch instead of someone who can score goals.

VIF more like gently caress off Rekdal.

Had no idea why they wanted Tollås in the first place since he wasn't particularly great for us, but if he's gonna go double-agent and gift us goals with terrible defending every time we play they're welcome to him. His CB partner I have no explanation for though, maybe we bribed him with fish?

It's about time FFK get back up to the TL really, I'm surprised they're struggling so much after improving from the tough first season relegated to 2014. You'd have expected the trend to either continue or not start in the first place.

Hope Hødd get through the playoffs, derbies are nice and some of my extended family are die-hard Hødd fans so.

The Most Boring Relegation-Fight

Also the weather is gonna be terrible so regardless of result I'm looking forward to seeing how big Nani and RvP will handle playing on Aker Stadion during a storm, hopefully the game won't be postponed. If van Persie can even get in the team these days, I haven't paid attention.
