Allsvenskan begins, fans get angry
We are always looking for new writers, particularly those focusing on Swedish and Danish football. If you fancy the job, get in touch. Swedish ‘bad boy’ Tobias Grahn caused a moderate amount of tutting on his return to Allsvenskan today, during which he helped Mjallby to a scoreless draw at AIK. The former Randers, Hertha [...]

Monday, August 10, 2009
Excuse me, Allsvenskan? I think it’s time we had a talk. Now don’t get upset, because I’m not really complaining. It’s just that the recent results have us worried. We are concerned that you may perhaps be… How do I put this? You’re absolutely, certifiably insane. This was after all supposed to be the round [...]

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
With fifteen rounds behind us we have now reached the halfway point of the season.

Saturday, July 18, 2009
IFK Göteborg and IF Elfsborg had a golden opportunity to make some space for themselves at the very top of the league in this fourteenth round.

In a brief moment of clarity I once wrote that I will avoid making predictions because doing so will eventually offer proof that I have no idea of what I’m talking about. While I was smart enough to figure that much out on my own, I am unfortunately dumb enough to ignore my own advice. [...]

Monday, May 18, 2009
Ivan Obolo scored the winner in tonight’s Stockholm derby at Råsunda, where AIK beat Djurgården 1-0. “A really fine goal,” Obolo told Canal Plus. Modest, isn’t he?

Sunday, May 17, 2009
IFK Göteborg won 2-1 against FF kalmar, thanks to a suberb goal from Tobias Hysen which was immediately hailed by some commentators as the goal of the season. It’s some finish, but not quite that good, as Kalmar goalkeeper Petter Wastå will want to look at his positioning, but well-taken all the same from IFK’s [...]

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
We’ve ignored Allsvenskan a little bit recently, due to unavoidable other commitments*, but there are a couple of stories I’d like to bring to your attention. First up, Swedish hooligans. This has been a theme in coverage of Swedish football, as the problem has grown in recent years. It’s certainly something the Stockholm clubs will [...]

It turned out to be SEK 1,5 millions, “much more than I had expected” commented general manager Britta Åkerlund. The club will have to put the breaks on spending to try to turn things around. It is essential for Umeå [...]

Kif Örebro took a weekend trip to Norway to play two of the leading teams of the western neighbour.
