I´m a bit behind on the blogging here and I thought I would write a quick post with the scores from the 21st round of the Allsvenskan as well as a few updates on some of the national team players around Europe. To end it I will touch on the transfer market really briefly.

The 21st round of the 2011 Allsvenskan didn´t prove to be all that crazy when it came to results or even the meaning of the results, but there are some important games to cover so I will dispense with the pleasantries and get down to the meatier parts of this post.

Alejandro Bedoya is a question mark for Orebro as they try to recover from Europa League disappointment while Ryan Miller and Halmstad are in desperate need of a win as relegation inches closer.

Over the weekend in Sweden Ryan Miler and Halmstad suffered a yet another difficult loss while Matt Pyzdrowski and Angelholm countinued their charge for promotion.

Ryan Miller will lookt to anchor Halmstad's backline in a game against second place Elfsborg while Ljungskile's Nick Noble and Angelholm's Matt Pyzdrowski will face each other in a battle between American goalkeepers

Alejandro Beodya returns from international duty as Orebro take on Elfsborg, while Ryan Miller has earned a permanent spot in the Halmstad starting eleven even as the club looks for its first win in nearly two months.

Following right on the heels of the previous round, the 13th round of the Allsvenskan kicked off with Häcken taking on Halmstad at home. Of course the drama had to revolve around international man of rumor Matthias Ranegie, who has been putting away goals left and right so far this season (the latest word was Wolfsburg, but I don't believe it for one second).

Ryan Miller and Halmstad face a tough visit from the Allsvenskan league leaders while Matt Pyzdrowski and ngelholm will try to work their way into the Superettan top spot on their visit to Hammarby.

Ryan Miller played a full match for Halmstad in a draw against Orebro while Brian Edwards posted another shutout for Degerfors to highlight a full weekend of Swedish action

Ryan Miller and Halmstad will try to pull free from the Allsvenskan celler while Gale Agbossoumonde will hope to see the field as Djurgarden go for their second straight win.

Bonus post! Further to this excellent article from The Swiss Ramble about Bristol City's financials, it seemed relevant to post the following, which details some of the issues encountered by Roy Hodgson and Bob Houghton at Bristol City in the early 80s. The following was initially published in the latest Fulham Review (continues after the jump).
