As clubs across the board sack players and cut wages, we here at NFN plow on heroically..
Saturday
Sandefjord (9th) Vålerenga (5th)
After Mad Martin Andresen realized he was about to lose his job a couple of weeks back, he
shelved ambitions of playing expansive football and went into "let's just not get fired"-mode.
13 games in and there are three teams in particular who look like they could be heading for doom
and despair (or the Adeccoliga, as some call it), but amidst the casual randomness of the Tippeliga
few things are ever certain and on matchday 14 all three of those teams picked up points..
Leading the line of the troubled threesome is Lyn, who even by their standards
face a remarkably bleak set of circumstances.
The second round of the Norwegian cup was so staggeringly uneventful and dull that we here at
NFN elected to ignore it altogether. However, with an epic shootout in the South, a local derby in
the Southwest and rampant minnows up North, the third round was an entirely different kettle of
fish...
We start up North with the upset that wasn't really an upset.
