Tippeligaen, round 25: Media fervently hopes for actual excitement about the gold, young talented kid plays without a worry in the world.
As the battle for the may-be-important fourth place rages on, the mainstream media still prove to be a bunch of clueless cowards, preferring to seek out pretend drama that may or may not become real at some point in the future. NFN will thus be the only provider of the real drama RIGHT NOW, and [...]

21. September 2010
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 [...]

21. September 2010
There are few things as great as when there are lots of teams vying for the best place, and right now, things just can’t get any better than this. Join us as we take a look at how close the race is to get to the 4th place in this year’s Tippeliga!»crosslinked«Tweet

7. September 2010
What the hell? Is the unjustified and unreseached opinions on the Tippeliga back on NFN? So nobody’s died? Was it just an incredibly lazy writer? Pretty much yes. There were no rumors of my death, but if there had been, they would have been exagerrated. Also, in my defense, my real job’s been taking up [...]

9. June 2010
What does NFN do when some of the more exciting endings to matches happen in a round of the Tippeliga? That’s right, we mess it up and get a delayed report. Partially because of boring stuff like real jobs, and partially because this writer can be a lazy bastard. Oh well, you get what you [...]

26. May 2010
NFN continues to be somewhat semi-accurate in match predictions, but we are certainly right on the money when it comes to capturing the -spirit- of this year’s Tippeliga. Almost every game had some neat gameplay happening, or somebody did something incredibly stupid. And that’s just what NFN said would happen! The result of this correctness, not to mention the combined entertainment of nice matches and stupid players, gave us all a sarcastic orgasm, or a sorcasm.

21. May 2010
Still high on the schadenfreude endorphins that came from this week’s cup upsets, this NFN writer is graciously feeling that the Tippeliga is right where it belongs. When the players fail to create entertainment on the field, there are plenty of people who will gladly say stupid things to a camera in the hopes that the match will look better in comparison. Although it can sometimes make his job harder, seeing as it can be troublesome writing sarcastic comments about something that is so absurd that it provides its own irony without any help. Absurdity and weak excuses are -my- job, dammit!

18. May 2010
Before taking over the prediction part, I was told to maintain NFN’s rather low standards of accuracy, lest I get fired from this gig, and also get a good “high school swirling” going on*. Thankfully, I have proved to be just as incompetent as Lars Sivertsen, so here are your excuses for why I was wrong most of the time:

12. May 2010
OK, with Lars out of the picture, that leaves the door open for me gaining world domination… MOWAHAHAHA! Anyway, this preview’s a bit early because the Norwegian cup is also starting soon.

27. April 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

22. April 2010
For two different reasons, there were two games played on Wednesday. Since Lars Sivertsen is notorious for only being happy about doing one preview and review per week, I’ll put up a short and informative (on the internet, nobody can see you trying to keep a straight face) post about these two games.

16. April 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 [...]

14. April 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

13. April 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

6. April 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
Continue reading...The Preview That’s On the Road and Somewhat Distracted
3. April 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
