I just realized I don't have to suffer Danish arrogance!

In case you don't know, Norway and Denmark has an intense joking rivalry and has had for hundreds of years. In the past years, whenever discussing football with Danes they've always resorted to playing the "we have more players in the EPL than you have!" card.

WELL SUCK IT DENMARK!

Thank you Cardiff, for being the club to end almost 10 years of Danish football oppression. Not only do we have exactly the same amount of players in the EPL now, we have the exact same amount of managers! All thanks to Cardiff City.

I think I just became a Cardiff fan :P Michael Laudrup being the manager of Swansea certainly helps too.

Nice to have you on our side hexecutive. Believe it or not, back in the late 80s we had a Norwegian Branch of the Cardiff City Supporters Club, think it only had a few members mind. We were in the 4th Division as well in those days. :thumbup:

If we can sell Cornelius there will be more Norwegian players in the PL. Do you know anybody interested in signing Cornelius mate? Maybe put a picture of him outside Molde FK's ground.

The thought crossed my mind :lol:

But sadly, I think Cardiff are stuck with him because of his salary until he's out of contract, unless he has a few stormer games to showcase what he can do... And I don't want to be a negative Nancy, but I am not a betting man in this instance. :cry:

I think it's more likely that Bendtner will leave Arsenal in the summer ;)

6 - Hangeland & Riise (Fulham) Parr (Palace) Tettey (Norwich) Eikrem & Dæhli (Cardiff!) The 90's was the golden era and If I'm not mistaken 25 Norwegians in 1999.

We had a lot of good Norwegian players in the late 90s playing here. Off course this led to teams thinking that just because you were Norwegian you were decent so a load of terrible Norwegians were signed and the Norwegian clubs cashed in. The same will happen with Belgium.

Welcome to the forum lads. Do you follow the Danish league at all? I know Danes in the Norwegian league have a tough time sometimes with the crowd. :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Haha I remember Stig Johansen playing for Southampton. He's from my town and now he plays for a third division club. That signing made no sense.

Egil Østenstad was a bit of a puzzle too. Not terrible, just too expensive for what he was worth IMO.
