Match5 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Mjondalen's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mjondalen has to find a result from somewhere.

Match5 Sep 2026

Valerenga take the points off Mjondalen

Beaten 1-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Wages eat 200% of everything Mjondalen earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Marcus Pedersen

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Sander Marthinussen loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Sander Marthinussen. Mjondalen will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Benjamin Sundo finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Mjondalen have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market31 Aug 2026

Sander Marthinussen hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mjondalen can pretend not to have heard.

Match29 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Mjondalen's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mjondalen has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Ole-Monrad Alme gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match29 Aug 2026

Mjondalen come up short against Bodo/Glimt

Bodo/Glimt left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Jhon Figueroa lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Marcus Pedersen asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Ole-Monrad Alme

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Markus Ottesen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Markus Ottesen commits to Mjondalen for another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Oliver Rotihaug

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nobody at Mjondalen has picked up the phone to Peder Klausen

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Match8 Aug 2026

Honours even between Mjondalen and Rosenborg

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Sander Marthinussen knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Mjondalen, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market3 Aug 2026

Sander Marthinussen asks to leave Mjondalen

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Peder Klausen keeps Mjondalen in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mathias Bringaker stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mathias Bringaker and Mjondalen agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Mathias Bringaker's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Brinder Singh gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
