The game against Trelleborg meant another 1-0 game win for AIK. But it wasn't just another 1-0 win in the sense that AIK played one of their best games of the season. Great play along the wings for once and Antonio Flavio proved that he can perform at a level above the opposition. Excellent technique from the young Brazilian tonight. Click to continue reading...

If I were to put a positive spin on this game I'd say that AIK is still the team with the longest undefeated streak in Allsvenskan. Oh, and that AIK still remains in first place for another day or two. But if I had to level with you, I would say that the draw against Kalmar still feels like a bit of a letdown.

Monday's game against Halmstad is yet another crucial match for AIK, but one that wouldn't raise my pulse much at all if wasn't for the fact that AIK is involved in an intense title race. Halmstad is after all a pretty dull club. They show up twice a season as an opponent, but they usually fail to leave much of an impression or elicit very strong emotions.

The Novelty Derby against Brommapojkarna gave us an exhilarating come-from-behind 2-1 victory for AIK. At this point it almost feel as if I can make a macro that can be used to describe every single AIK game. Imperfect play is overcome by the impressive team morale and points are won thanks to a solid defense and a late goal. Click to continue reading...

As July ends so does the ability for Swedish teams to acquire new players. The Swedish transfer window closed this past Tuesday, which allows us the opportunity to review the most significant Allsvenskan signings. It's been a fairly interesting shopping window for the Swedish clubs with a few foreign additions as well as one major move between Allsvenskan clubs. Click to continue reading...

In the pre-game analysis of this 0-0 match I commented on the fact that Malmö has been a team that often plays a great game but falls short right when it's time to put the ball in the back of the net. I also noted that AIK often plays an imperfect game of soccer, but has despite this managed to fight tooth and nail to grab enough points to stay in the top of Allsvenskan.

Since AIK remains deeply involved in the title race, every new match brings higher stakes and increasingly nerve-racking battles. The last game against relative minnows GAIS may have been crucial, but it was a soft breeze compared to the upcoming away game against Malmö FF. This game represents a nightmare for AIK.

The seventh 1-0 victory of the season has everyone talking about 1998. This was of course the year AIK won Allsvenskan after having scored only 25 goals in 26 games. While there are a few noticeable differences between this year and AIK's last gold-winning season, we can certainly find several similarities. Click to continue reading...

It's a bit of an odd tradition in Allsvenskan to mark the halfway point of the season with double meetings where two teams meet up in two consecutive games. A week ago AIK traveled to Gothenburg to face off with GAIS in a game that ended in a 2-2 draw. This Monday the teams will meet up again in a rematch at Råsunda. Click to continue reading...

In all my years as an AIK supporter there have been two particular signings that have left me ecstatic and wondering how in the world AIK managed to sign players of such high class. The first time was when AIK brought home Andreas Andersson from Newcastle United and the second time was the purchase of Derek Boateng from Panathinaikos. Click to continue reading...

A draw against the second-to-last team in Allsvenskan could either be considered a catastrophe, or in this case, another GAIS surprise. I won't call it any of those things, because the result was neither a catastrophe nor much of a surprise really. I would even go so far as to call this an inspirational effort by AIK. Click to continue reading...

It's time for yet another match against a Gothenburg team. This time AIK has the questionable pleasure of traveling to Sweden's backside to meet up with GAIS. We usually like to refer to IFK Göteborg as the herrings, which is a derision based on the fact that Gothenburg is something of a fishing metropolis. Click to continue reading...

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. But instead this became a round for the history books as far as AIK supporters are concerned. Göteborg continued their poor form and lost to AIK in one of the most exciting games of the year. Click to continue reading...

During the past two weeks I did my utmost to hype the importance of this crucial match. But anyone with half a brain was already aware of the fact that this was the key game of the year for our beloved AIK. With tons of hard work and a good measure of luck, the AIK players battled their way to another narrow win. Click to continue reading...

A home game against IFK Göteborg represents one of the most anticipated and prestigious matches of the year. Even on a bad year this game is at the very least a good old-fashioned hate match. This year, both teams are involved in the very top contention of Allsvenskan and 2009 must be considered an extremely good year for AIK to beat the Geat. Click to continue reading...

An even game at Behrn Arena where Örebro SK controlled the first half as AIK struggled with their game. Talented midfielder and man of the match Nordin Gerzic opened up the scoring after pouncing on his own rebound to make it 1-0 for ÖSK. Saihou Jagne scored the equalizer by pure killer instinct as he pounced on a rebound that came off a stunning free kick from Ortiz that had hit the inside of the post. Click to continue reading...

It's been six long weeks since AIK last played a game in Allsvenskan. Back then the derby against Hammarby provided the perfect way to sum up the spring season. Another 1-0 victory after yet another spirited AIK performance. Now, at last, we enter the fall season with a perfect match to kick off proceedings. Click to continue reading...

With July upon us it's finally time to get back into action again following the month-long Allsvenskan break. July 1st marks the official end of the silly summer. The transfer window opens in Sweden as well as the rest of Europe and Allsvenskan starts back up just a few days later. Transfer speculations are sure to continue with even more fervor as vacations end and European clubs look over their assets and needs. Click to continue reading...

On the 1st of November AIK will take on IFK Göteborg in the final round of this year's Allsvenskan. Any dime a dozen prognosticator will tell you that IFK Göteborg is one of the favorites to take home the title this season. It's therefore not unreasonable to expect that this particular match could be decisive in determining this year's champions. Click to continue reading...

Compared to the slow start to the silly season, the Allsvenskan transfer market has been teeming with activity this past week. Although we are still largely dealing with as of yet incomplete moves, significant transfers are at least being rumored. No credicble transfer rumors have been noted for AIK since the return of Dulee Johnson, but I am delighted to report that Bojan Djordic has signed on for three more years with AIK. Click to continue reading...

Ever since the exciting news of Dulee Johnson's return to AIK there's been a virtual dead calm surrounding Swedish soccer. Nothing truly noteworthy has occurred in the Allsvenskan transfer market in the past week, but the Allsvenskan teams are at least returning to practice following a short vacation.
