February
A fairly short month.
Only 3 fixtures.
We break our transfer record, then break it again as we sign 2 players this month.

February Fixtures


Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-2 AS Monaco (Champions League 1st Knockout Round / First Leg)
View attachment 379237
We were fortunate to come away with a 3-2 victory here. We went 2-0 up, but Monaco got back on level terms and it looked like staying 2-2 until Tor Skippervik scored a last minute winner. Patrick Knudsen who is supposed to be our best player was absolute trash tonight and was a fault for both goals we conceded. Despite our narrow lead, I see Monaco turning things around in the 2nd leg and knocking us out.

Knattspyrnufelag Fjallabyggdar 0-6 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Upper League Cup Group B)
View attachment 379235
A quality performance as we destroy our much weaker opponents. Forward Jorgen Bertilsson scored 4 goals in this match.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-1 Fjolnir (Upper League Cup Group B)
View attachment 379233
An expected comfortable win over Fjolnir.

Thanks mate :). It's been hard work making this club competitive on the continental stage. Hopefully I make the final step up in the next few seasons and become a European powerhouse.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-1 Valur (Upper League Cup Quarter Finals)
View attachment 377314
Things didn't get off to a good start as an early own goal put us behind, but we equalized 2 minutes later. Central defender 'Kim Roger Kampesveen' who unfortunately scored the own goal made up for it, by scoring the winner in the 2nd half.

View attachment 377312
A solid performance. We are through to the finals after a 4-1 victory over Breidablik.

Fram 1-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Upper League Cup Finals)*****FINALS*****
View attachment 377311
Not the greatest of starts as we go behind via an own goal. We came back strongly, and 2 goals from 'Olli Nygard' plus a goal form left back 'Colin Posa' sealed our 13th upper league cup victory in a row.

Player Of The Month


View attachment 377307
Star striker 'Olli Nygard' was our best player this month scoring 5 goals, including 2 in the Upper League Cup finals.

Player Of The Month


View attachment 374409
Olli Nygard put on some amazing performances this month and was quite clearly our best player throughout August.

Champions League Group Stage

View attachment 374408 View attachment 374421 View attachment 374407 View attachment 374402
AC Milan..........Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur......Olympiacos Piraeus......Malmo FF

We were drawn as 2nd seeds for the first time ever. I am happy with this group & feel we should finish 2nd if we play well. Olympiacos won't be an easy opponent, but i'm confident of getting at least 4 points from our games against them.

Youth Intake

View attachment 374405
That is what I though of this years youth intake.
Our best youth was a 5ft defender with a potential of 2 stars. I didn't sign keep any of them.

What To Expect In The Next Update
We should win the league, shouldn't we?
 
View attachment 374377

September
This month hasn't exactly gone to plan.
We end up losing to Fram at home in what was a very important fixture.
It was a nervy finish to the season.

September Fixtures

Fylkir 0-5 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 Olympiacos (Champions League Group H)

Keflavik 0-7 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 374367
A really good performance against already relegated Keflavik. We dominated from start to finish and thrashed our opponents. The league is basically ours now, with 1 more game to play.

Stjarnan 0-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 374365
A good performance to end the season. I didn't put out my strongest side as we were 3 points ahead of Fram with a far superior goal difference. Even if we had lost we would have won the league on goal difference.

We win the league by 3 points in the end, but it was closer than I would have liked. Fram put on a strong title challenge this year.

Champions League Group H Table

View attachment 374025
I though we would finish 2nd in this group, but we ended up doing better than I had expected, and we finished 1st.
The downside is we ended up drawing 'AS Monaco' in the 1st knockout round, and I can't see us getting them.

February
Not a good month.
Very average performances against weak sides in the Upper League Cup.
Looks like AS Monaco are going to kick us out of the Champions League again!

February Fixtures

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Njardvik (Upper League Cup Group B)
View attachment 374004
A 3-0 was about what I had expected against a side from the First Division. Central defender 'Joseph Okafor' did score on his debut which was pleasing.

Not a great performance against probably the weakest side in our group. I had expected a bit more than a boring 3-1 win.

AS Monaco 2-1 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League 1st Knockout Round / First Leg)
View attachment 374002
No surprise Monaco beat us. I don't feel we deserved to lose this game though. It's going to be very difficult to turn things around at home.

View attachment 372992
Another Icelandic Champions Cup trophy for us. Tor Skippervik was brilliant today and scored a hat-trick. This is actually the 1st time in 4 matches we've got the better of Fram after they took 4 points from us least season & best us in one of the Upper League cup group fixtures this year. The main thing though is e beat Fram when in really mattered.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 6-0 Fram (Icelandic Premier League)

View attachment 372966

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 6-0 Haukar (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 372964
A very good performance here. Haukar became another team we put 6 goals past this season. Unfortunately Tor Skippervik broke his ribs and will be missing for up to 6 weeks.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Vikingur O' (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 372962
A good performance here and a good win. I'm happy to win comfortably after the war of words between myself and the Vikingur Olafvisk manager (who is an ex-Valur manager).

We are 6 points clear of 2nd placed Fram after 8 games. Vikingur Olafsvik fell off quickly and I expect they will fall into mid-table now.
