It's another year and new season of Tippeligaen. The most predictable, and at the same time most unpredictable league in the world. 2014 ended with Molde comfortably running away with the league and cup title, which they will probably do again this season. The season also ended in the absolute funniest way possible with Brann relegated after the losing the playoffs to a bunch of plumbers and wastemen from Mjøndalen. The following teams are currently not bankrupt and will play in the league this year. Aalesund Had a fairly medicore season last year ending with Janne Jönsson leaving. Currently managed by Harald Aabrekk, who will lead them to more mediocrity imo. Bodø/Glimt Nearly went down last season after a promising start and are bound to have another difficult year. Will go down if Sanè and Badou leaves at some stage of the season. Ibba will continue to score goals and steal phones. Haugesund Seems to have a knack of finding good goal scorers and selling them shortly after. Depending on where they are in that cycle they will either finish upper mid table or lower mid table. Lillestrøm Despite having no money they did really well last season and ended up 5th. This year they're starting with negative points and a new manager with a name I won't even attempt to spell. Destined for somewhere between 5th and 12th. Molde They have all the money and all the players, of course they'll win again. The only question is if they can finally qualify for europe. The league is certainly helping them all they can. Mjøndalen All signs points to them going down in spectacular fashion, but let's not kid ourselves. This is tippeligaen, and they will finish in the upper half. Odd Last seasons big surprise team. I think they'll finish slightly lower this year. Outside of the top 3, surely. Rosenborg BK Kåre Ingebrigtsen will be sacked by july and they will hire someone competent to make sure they'll finish 2nd or 3rd. Will continue to be jealous of Moldes success and their money. Sandefjord I don't know. Will probably struggle? Sarpsborg 08 Brian Deane is a good manager and they'll suffer without him. Despite finishing 8th last year they will be one of the favorites to go down. Stabæk How long will they keep hold of Bob Bradley? They will surely have a harder season this year, but they're doing well in recruiting players and I think they will stay up. Barely. Start The latest club with huge financial problems. They will have to cut costs and sell players to survive, and they will suffer. They had the worst defence last year (together with Glimt) and they won't be better this year. Another year with relegation battles I think. Strømsgodset Got a mountain of cash for Martin Ødegaard and they've got an exciting team this year too. I'm expecting a title challenge until september before Molde runs away with it. Will be in the top 3 with Rosenborg and Molde. Tromsø Back after a year in adecco following their surprise relegation. Are currently in a phase where they're rebuilding their squad and cutting costs and seems to have a very small and significantly weaker squad than earlier. Steinar Nilsen is still somehow competent and I think they'll stay up. Recently got a bunch of money from that demented old fool Trond Mohn that allowed them to actually spend a bit of money on new players. Will stay up and end somewhere in the lower half. Viking Viking were absolute garbage in the second half of the season last year iirc and should do better for a club their size. Everyone loves Jonevret, and I think he'll turn it around and they'll finish in the top 8. Vålerenga Sold Kjartansson who scored all their goals last year and will probably be worse off and end up somewhere mid table. Rekdal will continue to do and say stupid things. As always, predictions go out the window but I thinks it's going to be pretty fun. It's kicking off on April 6th, and it's finally back on TV2 so people will actually watch it. I can't wait.

Glimt made a profit for the third year in a row so we're the moral winners.

Well at least I don't have to be afraid anymore of getting my phone stolen at Aspmyra.

We signed a winger yesterday, which is nice, but the squad is crying out for a striker and central defender. Our only striker is Sørloth jr. and he's only on loan. I know the club is looking everywhere for a striker, but so is everyone else. And like everyone else, we don't want to spend anything either. This could be a strange season.

The transfer window and training matches has been horrible for us and I'm afraid we'll go down. At best we'll end up a few points above the drop. Our defense is worse than last year and we don't have Ibba to bail us out anymore.

Didn't watch the match but I can only imagine how terrible it was. The bright side is that we only conceded two goals and not three as usual so maybe we won't concede 90 goals this year after all

I've seen a lot of terrible defending through the years but this is a whole new level

I take it all back. This season rules, all of our players are great and I even think we're staying up.

Vegard Forren is a fraud imo

We sold Badou Sad to see him go, one of the best players to ever play for us IMO. Not expecting us to spend any money to sign anyone, but we got Erik Tønne on a free for the rest the year and he might be good?

Another embarrassing display, it's obvious the players have taken their holidays early after securing the place in tippeligaen. IIRC two thirds of the squad are out of contract after this season (9 of the players involved yesterday) so it's going to be an exciting winter.
