Kongsvinger rely on rubber duckies as aid concert disappoints
After Norwegian Premier League club Kongsvinger last week admitted that they are “technically bankrupt”, an aid concert was hastily arranged this weekend. The concert needed to attract a crowd of 200 to break even, but only a profoundly depressing 20 people showed up, making matters even worse for the reasonably doomed club. Now Kongsvinger are [...]

Tromsø are desperately clinging to the top of the table like a man whose kitchen floor is covered in corrosive acid, while in altogether more reassuring news: Brann are terrible again..Tweet

Wednesday, May 5, 2010
We here at NFN-towers are a privileged bunch. Unlike every other media-outlet, we don’t need to talk up our product. We don’t need to feed and pamper our golden goose. Like pear-cider peddler and occasional comedian Mark Watson, we can give it to you straight. Round 9 of the Tippeliga was utter dross.»crosslinked«Tweet

Like a man living next to a nudist beach that admits only attractive women between 18 and 35, this weekend’s preview spends a whole lot of time sitting on the fence..Tweet

Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Well that was strange. Eight rounds in and the Tippeliga still doesn’t make much sense, but even in that context Vålerenga inflicting a 6-1 smackdown on Odd was a bit of a bolt from the blue. Also, reluctant and grudge-laden credit where it’s due: Brann were really quite good..Tweet

Friday, April 23, 2010
Like Kristian Sørlie in an elementary school, this weekend’s preview can barely contain itself. And it needs that excitement, because to be honest there isn’t much to get worked up about on the docket this round. But there stuff about the wrath from high atop the thing, there is more gratuitous Brann-bashing and there is [...]

Monday, April 19, 2010
Yes, the naysayers, doom-mongers and other ne’er-do-wells were all shown up in spectacular fashion this Sunday as plucky underdogs Brann picked up a point..Tweet

Friday, April 16, 2010
This week Norwegians looked to the West where a massive eruption, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in decades, spewed all kinds of ash and particles into the atmosphere, possibly complicating the everyday lives of millions of Europeans. Also, in addition to Kjetil Rekdal’s post-match team talk, there was some unfortunate business with a [...]

Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Midweek-mayhem in the Tippeliga, as a bunch of lazy, overpaid players will perform poorly and blame the fact that they just played at the weekend. And that’s just Brann..Tweet

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Confusion all around in the fifth round as Kongsvinger perplex the masses by winning a game, then their manager resigns the next day to similar effect. Also, Odd Grenland aren’t Real Madrid. It’s all very strange.Tweet

Noisy neighbors, weird allegories and some more Brann-bashing in this weekend’s preview..Tweet

Tuesday, April 6, 2010
Rosenborg win in unimpressive style, Brann collapse in spectacularly entertaining fashion, Start are superb value for money for the neutral, Kjetil Rekdal is annoyed even though Aalesund won, the fourth round saw some of what passes for normality in the Tippeliga restored..Tweet

Saturday, April 3, 2010
Three rounds into the 2010 Tippeliga and it’s still all a bit random, with pre-season favorites struggling to live up to their billing and plucky underdogs punching way above their weight. The fourth round might bring a bit of clarity, though this is the Tippeliga and clarity tends to be in short supply..Tweet

Tuesday, March 30, 2010
The whole Tippeliga-thing isn’t really working out so far for Hønefoss who were thumped 6-0 at Åråsen. Elsewhere Kongsvinger are also pointless after the first three, pre-season favorites Rosenborg, Molde, Viking and Stabæk all dropped points and there were more peculiar pleasantries from Kjetil Rekdal..Tweet

Saturday, March 27, 2010
The woeful inaccuracies of NFN’s predictions is the stuff of internet legend, but so far we’ve actually gotten 10 out of 16 games right in the first two rounds of what is often lovingly referred to as “the bingo-league”. This is as opposed to last season, where NFN’s predictions were overall significantly less accurate than [...]

Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Rosenborg in shabby performance-shocker, but this time they didn’t get away with it. In other news Viking thoroughly battered brainless Brann and Aalesund are top of the table, though manager Kjetil Rekdal remains distinctly unimpressed..Tweet
