🇳🇴 Hi Norway and Norwegians, ahead of the game against England tomorrow, I wrote some words on what the game means to me — a devout lover of Norway.
Hope you enjoy it!

Som de fleste av dere vet, er Norge en stor lidenskap for meg, så jeg er veldig stolt over at vi har laget dette magasinet for @thesefootytimes.
Jeg skrev om barndomshelten min, Ronny Johnsen, og Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
Nordmenn, jeg håper dere liker det 🇳🇴
I dag løp jeg 5k på treningssenteret (nordmenn, være så snill å bruke ordet «gym», jeg ber dere) og nå har jeg ødelagt ryggen min.
Moralen er: løft iron, ikke løp.
Offside stats were only recorded from 2006-07 onwards, so Coley was actually caught offside 24 times in the 25 Premier League games he played after the start of offside data collection.
Great player, but of the data available, he was flagged offside every game he played 😂

That’s now 18 games in a row since Kasper Høgh left Bodo and hasn’t scored a goal in. He’s always been crap and Celtic, unlike Norwich, took the bait for £12m
Honestly, 2026 has been exceptional. New music from Spanish Love Songs, the Menzingers, No Pressure, Heart Attack Man and now @winonafighter.
Leech is just *unbelievably good*.
As good a night as any to plug this — I chatted to @vikingfotball’s joint managers about winning the league for the first time in 30 years and their resulting European ambitions for @WorldSoccerMag ⬇️
📖 World Soccer chatted with their joint head coaches, Morten Jensen and Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim, back in our April 2026 issue.

Putting aside the fact they’re my favourite metal band, it’s Iron Maiden by basically every single metric.
Let’s settle a metal debate. What is the greatest metal band of all time? Not your favourite band necessarily — the band you believe had the biggest impact, greatest legacy and strongest catalogue.

🚨 Online traffic to the entire European far-right collapsing after a successful Ukrainian attack on a Russian data centre feels like quite a big story.

Since the attack on the Russian data centre. The traffic for the ‘patriot party’ is mysteriously off a cliff
All the backlash against Oasis on this app tonight has really inspired me to listen to some proper Britpop again 💙
