Rekdal’s cup final quotes
As every journalist in Norway knows by now: Stick a microphone in front of Aalesund-manager Kjetil Rekdal and he’ll give you a story. The outspoken manager is rarely in the mood for platitudes, and after guiding his team to an unexpected cup-triumph he has been in a rich vein of quote-producing form, even by his considerable standards..»crosslinked«Tweet

Friday, September 25, 2009
A goal from that biggest of big men Tor Hogne Aarøy was enough to ensure that the final of the 2009 Norwegian cup will be a local derby, but like the first semi final the result was somewhat overshadowed by a moment of superlative stupidity..Tweet

Monday, August 17, 2009
Back in November 2007 when Martin Andresen was appointed to spearhead the Vålerenga-revolution, the stated ambition was to establish the club as one of the top sides in Norway by 2010 and to be the best team in Scandinavia by 2013. Let’s just reflect on that one for a moment, as another fairly abysmal performance [...]

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Hello!?! Can you hear us?! As the over-rated and over-hyped (though quite good, to be fair) English Premier League attempts yet again to overshadow every other sporting event on the planet, we here at NFN know we have to work hard to grab your precious attention. I mean, how can anyone possibly be expected to [...]

Monday, August 3, 2009
In an eventful round of the Tippeliga, Molde gave Start a severe battering, Odd held Rosenborg, Bodø/Glimt picked up three invaluable points and Vålerenga lost yet again. In addition to all of this, Kent Bergesen has finally left Lyn..Tweet

Saturday, August 1, 2009
Having proved this week that they’re no good in Europe, the Norwegian clubs now return to the altogether more rewarding activity of playing amongst themselves. This weekend’s preview tackles seriously saucy subjects such as the increasingly comical situation at Lyn, Erik Hagen’s nickname, Polish builders and, well, the apocalypse..Tweet

Sunday, July 12, 2009
You heard me. And after a fairly hectic summer-period one imagines quite a few of the Tippeliga players could do with a rest as well, which is why it’s so convenient that after this weekend the Tippeliga takes a two week holiday. Before that though there is a potentially cracking round of matches to be [...]

Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Well, terrific if you like your games full of goals and incidents. No so much if you like, youknow, vaguely competent defenders. After a couple of pretty stale rounds the Tippeliga perked up a bit in round 17, with goals flying in at a fairly bonkers rate of 4,4 goals per game. Still, no matter [...]

Saturday, July 4, 2009
Really, this has to stop now, this wonderfully stereotype-busting weather currently enjoyed in most of the country makes it virtually impossible to get anything done.Tweet

Tuesday, June 30, 2009
This recent bout of hot weather has made Norwegians hit the beaches like dyslexic gangsta rappers, but like busses in the Stavanger-area the Tippeliga waits for no one, and so here is a quick roundup of the latest batch of games from the top tier of Norwegian football.Tweet

Friday, June 26, 2009
Tippeliga rounds are coming thick and fast, and the market is in severe danger of being flooded. The issue is in no way helped by the fact that Rosenborg are running away with the league, while everyone else just look a bit knackered. So, with the league currently a less than entrancing event in purely [...]

Thursday, May 7, 2009
Yes, after a gaffe-tastic round 8 we have to ask. You can keep your Frank Haffey, your Fred Martin and all of your Andy Gorams, on the evidence of tonight the Norwegian goalkeepers are as dodgy as they come. Tweet

Monday, April 27, 2009
You know it’s been an eventful round when a goalkeeper can slap someone in the face and no one really takes any notice. Even Norwegian broadcaster TV2, who are more interested in controversies than actual football, had more interesting things to talk about this week. Erik “Myggen” Mykland made his first appearance in the Tippeliga [...]

Tuesday, March 10, 2009
With less than a week to go before it all kicks off in the Tippeliga, NFN’s somewhat comprehensive preview-coverage starts with the teams expected to spend most of the season fighting for survival..Tweet

Thursday, January 22, 2009
There’s an old football-adage that says once you’ve been successful somewhere you should never go back, but then again it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a pragmatic, scientific man like Egil “Drillo” Olsen doesn’t put much stock into such things. Yes, in an unexpected and slightly bizarre turn of events, the 66 year old wellie-wearing weirdo [...]
