Gulbrandsen injured and will lose most if not all of the season. Lock up your stars and talents, Molde are going shopping!

Oh geez, Moldes replacement for Gulbrandsen is apparently gonna be Mushaga Bakenga. I'm well aware they're the #1 team right now, but that's just rubbing it in.

Watching Sweden you might get to see Zlatan live! All I hear about AIK is their hooligans when they play derbies but I guess that won't be an issue in a friendly.

In other news it seems we're getting Fellah on loan from Esbjerg. If he stays fit he'll be a nice replacement for Mix.

Heading over to pick up my season ticket today, starting to get eager for that terrible tippeliga action!

Helland up to 9 goals in pre-season. Can't wait for the real season to start when our form turns to poo poo.

The Fellah deal fell through, and we can't afford to loan Bakenga so now he's gone to Molde to win a title instead. Oh how the mighty have fallen, eh?

Yeah, these are strange times. Also worth mentioning that Odd are clinging to a 41-year old striker.

On a brighter note: the new Norway kit is beautiful. I love kits with a sash on the front and the new crest is just awesome. Shame we only get to show it off in qualifiers

That Stabæk deal is just about crazy enough that I might believe there's something in the Henderson rumors.. I guess we'll know soon enough.

They still got plenty of talent in their squad(even after Ødegaard left) but imo Nielsen(the new manager) isn't getting nearly the same output that Deila did. Seems they're well aware that they were punching above their weight when they won the title though and are building long-term rather than overspending to challenge Molde. Definitely gonna be 'up there' this season.

So Liam Henderson actually joined Rosenborg today on a loan deal that lasts until summer. Can't say I understand it, but alright.

Also: 6 more days to go!

What bothered me most about the match today was walking through rain and freezing my nails off at the stadium. I can deal with us taking "just" a point vs Godset, we'll get more goals when Helland is back again.

Heh, look at Molde, only beating Aalesund by 4 goals. And you call that favorite for the title?

I'm sorry Insurrectionist, looks like you might be the ones to pick up Nordlie this time.

I hope Henderson can get a few starts soon, seems like he's doing ok so far? Most exciting prospect Celtic have produced in a while so I'm really interested in how he does.

After starting the season with 5-0 and 6-0 wins, it's no surprise the lineup remains the same, but we're starting to play two matches a week now so I'm sure he'll get more opportunities. Doesn't hurt his chances that he scored two goals today, either.

Very impressed by his attitude, though. He seems very focused on working hard to improve, and seems very humble and polite in every interview.

I have no idea why I logged on a betting site today and thought that it's too early for any upsets in the cup. VIF and Mjøndalen down by a goal, Tromsø and Sandefjord still at an even score... and Start are already dead and gone, being 3-0 down to Vindbjart.

I'm not one to build a case for Stabæk being very good, but they were in shambles after last season with pretty much every player having scored a goal leaving the team, but they managed to grab some good replacements just before the new season and the rest is down to Bob Bradley.

They're not gonna stay second though.

I do love having all these matches in May, but if we get another defender injured we will have to postpone football for a while. Just letting you all know.

Just one of those days, I guess. Tromsø were good(in the second half) at breaking up our play, and we weren't good enough to outplay them.

..And yet we still should've won that.

Some candy for the schadenfreuders out there as another round of the cup rolls by. Hødd beat Aalesund, while Sandefjord and Strømsgodset are going into extra time vs Kongsvinger and Kvik Halden respectively.

Edit: Strømmen - Lillestrøm also going into extra time.

The cup is this thing that Rosenborg are doing to tire themselves out before playing Vålerenga.

We're jumpstarting the not-so-silly-mid-season-transfer-window-season by having Turkish wonderboy Demirci on trial, and he's got only months left on his contract with Besiktas so he might be a cheap deal.

...He's not a centre-back though. Søderlund better start practising his man-marking skills.

We're heading to the Faroe Islands!

Norwegian fixtures in the first round of EL qualifiers:
Rosenborg - Vikingur (Cork or Reykjavik in the second round)
Strømsgodset - Partizani (Mlada Boleslav)
Odd - Sheriff (Progres Niederkorn or Sligo Rovers)

Molde will meet the winner of SS Folgore - Pyunik in the 2nd round CL qualifiers.

I'm enjoying these EL qualifiers. With the regional grouping we get regular trips to the island nations in the west.
