Team of the Season

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2025/10/28

With the final round done and dusted, we discuss everything from relegation to the clinching of the final European spot! We talk about Sigurður Arnar's admirable disappointment, VAR and "noffsides", whether Vestri-KR was a result of poor referring or perhaps that of an unsung man of the match, and whether you'd move from Víkingur to Valur.... for money. And we of course announce our long-awaited Team of the Season!Follow us on Instagram, Bluesky and Threads @bestaenglish

Thanks for the seasono!

2025/10/23

Only one round left, and there is still no resolution to the relegation battle. Can KR save themselves at the last minute? Or will Afturelding send both KR and Vestri down? And who will get the final European place? Plus, we discuss some of the questionable work practices of Valur and Breiðablik...Follow us on Instagram, Bluesky and Threads @bestaenglish

2025/10/07

Víkingur are champions!! Sölvi's boys have done it with two games to spare, but there is still plenty of excitement left, as we still have to find out whether Valur are failures, whether KR are failures or whether we can find one person to blame all of our problems on?
