Untouchable Rosenborg

[Garm]

The Norwegian premier league ended today and I just tought I should mention that Rosenborg did an "untouchable" season. Well done to them. This means they've only lost 1 league game over the last two seasons. Impressive!

Did they win all their games, or draw some too?

They drew quite a lot actually.

They ended on 19 11 0 and last year 20 9 1

Top scorer this year was Steffen Iversen with 14 goals

Invincibles even? were they first from pillar to post? If so, Untoucibles!

Yeah I saw that. Always felt he was a better player than he got credit for and, but for injuries, could have made a bigger impact with us. Glad to see he's doing well.

With Steffen Iversen leading the line!

Not entirely, but they've been top since about round 5 or 6, so at least 4/5 of the season.

As I've commented in the Scouting thread, they have an 18 year old midfielder called Markus Henriksen who I think will go on to do great things. Played in pretty much every league game, 7 goals in the league, 4 or 5 in Europe so far including v Atletico Madrid the other day, Hope we show interest in him when he's matured a bit and feels it's time to move on.

They also have Ghanian DM Anthony Annan who was superb in the World Cup but for some weird reason still wasn't picked up by a bigger club in the summer. Experts reckon his height (5'7'') has something to do with it, which sound ridiculous considering Makelele was the same height but there you go. He is a very similar player to the big Mak, and could prove to be almost as good.

Steffen Iversen became the top goalscorer for Rosenborg, but the top goalscorer in the league was senegalese striker Baye Djiby Fall from Ole Gunnar Solskjær's club Molde.

The runners up goalscorer was Norwegian international and Hannover striker (former Vålerenga player) Moa. 3rd was Nigerian striker Anthony Ujah of Lillestrøm, Norwegian international Petter Vaagan Moen of Brann, and Iversen with 14 goals each.

Former Sunderland striker, Rosenborg player Rade Prica got 13 goals.
