League Prediction: 16th place

Kongsvinger (last year: 3rd in Adeccoligaen)

+ Manager Trond Amundsen is an expert at making much out of little material.

+ No-one thinks they will survive in the league, so they'll play without pressure.
+ They play well at home.
+ Has signed the well experienced Thomas Myhre, and the hard-fighting warrior Vidar Riseth.
- Doesn't have any money, and hasn't had the chance to strengthen their squad before the season, except from a few free transfers.
- Hardly any players with experience from Tippeligaen.
- Too few players in the squad
- Has lost their top scorer from last year, Magnus Sylling Olsen.

Player to watch:
Edier Frejd was solid in the qualifying match, and can play in all parts of the defence, is strong and fast.

Thomas Myhre tells his story

Thomas Myhre has today revealed what happened the night in January which led him to being late for practice the following morning.

Viking decided to end the goalkeepers contract last week, because of this incident.


Myhre, however, claims that he was drugged, and had 160,000 NOK (approx. £16,000) removed from his bank account the same night.



Myhre has told the Norwegian newspaper VG that Viking, after a friendly match in Spain on the 22nd of January, was granted permission to go out. They ate dinner and drank some alcohol before going to a club. Myhre then had a ten hour long blackout before he
woke up in an unknown apartment the morning after. This led him to being 20 minutes late for the players meeting and not completing the following practice.

After returning to Norway, Myhre asked the police for a drug test, and there was found traces of drugs in his blood.

Viking are not going to change their decision on firing Myhre

Thomas Myhre finished in Viking

Viking has ended Thomas Myhre's contract, supposedly after being late for practice after going out the night before in January, but Myhre claims that Viking has been looking for a reason to sack him for a long time.
