June
A much better month in terms of performances.
35 year old central defender 'Gretar Sigfinnur Sigurdsson' who has been at the club for 11 years, announces he will retire at the end of the season.
June Fixtures
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-1 Keflavik (Icelandic Premier League)

After we missed a 3rd minute penalty I was worried things wouldn't go as planned, but the missed penalty didn't effect my players mentally & we ran out deserved 4-1 winners.
Fjaroabyggo 0-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup 3rd Round)

A 3-0 win against our much weaker opponents is what I expect & we met those expectations.
Stjarnan 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 442056
A strong performance, especially in the first half, saw us beat a strong premier league side 2-0. Young dedender 'Grimur Bjorn Atlason' gets himself on the scoresheet.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Fjolnir (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 442055
It took us a long time to get going in this game and we were very disappointing in the first half. It took us until the 74th minute to score with a deflected effort. We then scored 2 more very late in the game. Unfortunately 'Gabriel Ingi Agnarsson' is out for 6 weeks with a sprained ankle.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-0 Valur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 442054
The old saying ''If you want something done you do it yourself''. Our 2-0 victory against 'Valur' means our rivals finally drop points for the first time this season. Looks like no-one else has the ability to beat them at the moment.

Despite not even being halfway through the premier league campaign, it's already looking very much like a 2 horse race between us & Valur. I can imaging when I play at Valur later in the season that will be the game which decides the title, unless 1 of us go on a very bad run.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Tindastoll (Icelandic Premier League)

We easily won this game although our opponents did get a man sent off very early in the game. I don't think we would have won so comfortably if our opponents had 11 men for the whole game.

We slipped up and handed Valur a big advantage in the title race. My first choice keeper got himself injured in training 1 day before this match and is our for a month & my backup keeper just doesn't look up to the challenge. 'Gabriel Ingi Agnarsson' also got himself injured AGAIN! It might be time to sell him.

This is the 2nd trophy Valur have beat me to this season & my dislike for them is growing stronger, especially as their manager keeps running his mouth. We didn't play well enough to lift the trophy though. It looks like Valur will be winning the treble this year, as I doubt we will win the league.

A very poor season.
To only win the Upper League Cup is disappointing.
It hurt even more seeing Valur do the treble.
Stats
View attachment 441391
Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson scored 14 league goals and was the 3rd top goalscorer in the league. He was my only successful signing this season.
We had 3 players in the top 4 ratings. Aron Josepsson, Atli Sigurjonsson & Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson were in the top 4 player ratings.
Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson was also in the top 4 for assists, creating 8 goals for his teammates.

We were not expected to do much against this team, and we didn't do that much. We did manage to score a well taken goal and keep the score respectable.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 K.R.C Genk (Europa League Group L)
View attachment 441268
A very good performance against the strong Belgium side Genk. We were brilliant in limiting their chances and making a large amount for ourselves and deserved our win.
K.R.C Genk 0-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Europa League Group L)

Pre-Season
A fairly positive pre-season.
2 signings made.
Brazilian midfielder Diego retires at 33 after failing to break into the first team last season.
Pre-Season Fixtures
Dalvik/Reynir 2-10 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur
Bi/Bolungarvik 0-1 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur
Hamar 1-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur
Hottur 3-5 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur
Volsungur 0-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur
I played 5 fixtures all against fairly weak opposition. We did seem a bit complacent in a couple of the games but were never in any danger of losing any of them. Scoring 10 goals in a match, even though it's a friendly, it's still something I enjoyed watching.
Players In
View attachment 441154 View attachment 441153
I brought in Swedish duo Tomas Shala & Lars Martinez Olsson, both on free transfers from Djurgarden. Both players are on very large wages but i'm confident they will both prove to be very good acquisitions.
Transfer Center
View attachment 441152
The only permanent outgoing is Diego who retired. Gretar Sigfinnur Sigurdsson also retired & has now become a member of my backroom staff. Alot of youngsters have been sent out on loan, something I do each season.
I transfer listed a few backup players but no clubs have taken an interest in them so far. Hopefully that will change, but for now they will stay in my reserve section as they probably wont get any game time.
What To Expect In The Next Update
The start of the upper league cup.

Recently promoted Brediablik (after their surprise relegation 2 years ago) were our next opponents and they don't look like they will be struggling against relegation this year. We won 3-1 but were given a few scares.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-3 Stjarnan (Upper League Cup Quarter Finals)
View attachment 440724
And with this loss we go out of the upper league cup which we had managed to win 3 times in a row. When captain Finnur Margeirsson got sent off we had no chance as we were already struggling.
Injury Issues
(28th April) Finnur Margeirsson suffers a double hernia in training & is expected to be out for around 3-4 months.
(29th April) Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson will also face a 7 weeks on the sidelines after suffering a sprained ankle in training.
I probably won't look for a replacement striker as I have Gary Martin who is on the same level as Tryggvi Haradsson & I have a few backups. I will however need to bring in another right-back as I only have Haukar Hauksson who is a natural in that position.
What To Expect In The Next Update
Do we bring in a new right-back?
We play Valur in the Icelandic Champions Cup, can we beat them?
Can we get off to a good start in the premier league?

We were unfortunate not to take 3 points. Haukar got a fortunate early goal after the ball came back off the bar, hit my keeper on the back of the head and went in. We got an equalizer through 'Gary Martin' but couldn't find a winner.

Player Of The Month

It was very tight between Bjorn Jonsson & Atli Sigurjonsson, but Atli just wins it.
Gary Martin
The English striker has become a legend at this club & is now the our all time top goalscorer in the league breaking the previous record of 62 league goals. He actually broke it last month in our 4-0 win against 'Fimleikafelag Hafnarjaroar' but I completely forgot to put it in that update. I sure he will easily get past 100 league goals as he's still 28 and has a few more years on the top of his game.
What To Expect In The Next Update
Will Stjarnan still be fighting for top spot?
Will we stay unbeaten in the league?
Will our Europa League campaign get off to a good start?

We let 'Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson' go to German side 'St. Pauli' for a record fee of ?400k. He's been injured alot so far this season & when he's been fit he hasn't played well, so i'm very pleased to receive this fee.
We also let a few players leave on loan to our feeder club Cheltenham.
What To Expect In The Next Update
Can we close the gap on Stjarnan.
Can we win the Icelandic Cup and claim our 2nd trophy of the season?
After reading this I must say that I thought it was so impressive I decided to go ahead and do a save in Iceland as well, pleasantly surprised to see Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson in my youth team. How have other teams been doing in Europe at the same time as you have been getting into the group stages? And also where are the stars of the national team playing now and how is the national team doing? Quite interested being Icelandic and all.
BTW you are really starting to sound like a KR fan with your hatred towards Valur

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed reading this. Who are you starting your save with?
The other teams haven't been doing well in Europe, none of them have been close to making it into the group stages. Haukar made it to the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa league but that's as far as any of the other teams have come.
The national team have been doing OK and I can see them making it to a major tournament in the near future. Runar kristinsson is now the national team manager as Lars Largerback retired. Gylfi Sigurdsson is still at Tottenham & Aron Gunnarsson is still at cardiff. Alfred Finnbogason is now at Nottingham Forest who have surprisingly become a good team. Kolbeinn Sigthorsson is at Standard Liege now.
I really don't like Valur in this game. I always seem to get a long-term injury whenever i play them
. Me & Valur's manager don't get on at all lol. He always says something negative in the press before I play his team.View attachment 439884
August
Brilliant domestically. We win the Icelandic Cup.
Best month in the league so far this season.
Embarrassed in the Europa League though.
August Fixtures
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-0 Keflavik (Icelandic Cup Semi Finals)
View attachment 439883
A good performance, and we score both our goals in the space of 5 minutes. We will play Valur in the finals.
Southampton 2-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round / First Leg)
View attachment 439882
Awful!! Awful!! To let your opponents take 44 shots against you is unacceptable. We didn't even manage to take 1 shot at their goal. Looks like being a very short Europa League campaign this year.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Haukar (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439880
We smash Haukar with a much improved performance. Probably our best performance against this team as we usually struggle against them.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 0-3 Southampton (Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round / Second Leg)
View attachment 439879
I played pretty much a reserve team for the 2nd leg as we were not going to win by 3 goals & I have the Icelandic Cup Finals in 3 days time so wasn't willing to risk tiredness & injuries. We lose 5-0 on aggregate.
Valur 1-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup Finals)*****FINALS*****
View attachment 439878
GET IN THERE!!! We win the Icelandic Cup & it's even sweeter that its against Valur, who's manager has been criticizing me in the press recently. We played very well and barely gave the opposition any chances on goal.
Vikingur O. 1-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439877
After a poof first half I was concerned we would drop points, but we looked a different team in the 2nd half and ran out 4-1 winners.
Ithrottababdalag Akraness 0-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

A good win against our local rivals, who look like they may not survive relegation this season. Young Striker 'Leonard Saevarsson' scores his first ever league goal.
Fimleikafelag Hafnarjaroar 1-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

A brilliant performance, especially from Gary Martin who scores a hat-trick.
Icelandic Premier League Table

Stjarnan are still top by 3 points, but we will overtake them if we win our game in hand due to our superior goal difference. We play Stjarnan at home next month so that fixture may decide who will win the league.
Player Of The Month

Atli Sigurjonsson wins the player of the month award this month with his brilliant creative performances.
Youth Intake
For the 2nd season running our youth intake had been fairly poor. I don't think anyone that has come through this year has the ability to make it for us. Hopeful next years youth intake will be much better.

A poor month.
We were awful in-front of goal for nearly every game.
Stjarnan also had a poor month, so who won the league?
September Fixtures
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 0-0 Fram (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439681
A poor performance in what must have been an awful game for the fans to watch. Just 1 shot on target throughout the whole game. On a positive note Stjarnan lost 2-1 to Valur. The gap closes to 2 points and we still have a game in hand.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-1 Valur (Icelandic Premier league)
View attachment 439680
A home game against Valur was our game in hand & we looked like winning until we went down to 10 men. Lars Martinez Olsson sent off for a stupid 2 footed challenge cost us and we end up with another draw. Were 1 point behind Stjarnan.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 Breidablik (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439679
How we only won this game 1-0 I will never know. To be so dominant but fail so badly in-front of goal annoyed me as this could & should have been a thrashing. The good news is Stjarnan lost again, this time to Vikingur O. We go 2 points clear at the top.
Fjolnir 2-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439678
Oh dear, oh dear. Losing to Fjolnir at a time like this leaves me lost for words. I could only hope Stjarnan slipped up, which they did again losing at home to Haukar. Were still 2 points clear with 2 games remaining. Our next game is against Stjarnan which could possibly be the title decider.
Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Stjarnan (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 439677
It's Ours!!! We come good when it matters, putting in the performance of the season to see off the very strong title challenge from Stjarnan. Grimur Bjorn Atlason, Atli Sigurjonsson & Steingrimur Egilsson were all brilliant out there today.
Keflavik 0-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

We won the league it what was a very hard season. Winning by 6 clear points makes it look slightly more comfortable than it actually was. I had always expected a tough challenge for the title, but just not from Stjarnan. Surprisingly Stjarnan lost all 5 of their games this month to end their season on a low.
