AIK is looking good

Well not financially. But I dare to say that we are back in Allsvenskan. There simply isn't the quality around to stop us and after the amazing 5-1 defeat to Boden we're simply not going to relax again. Reports from the last game, a thorough 3-1 beating of pre-season favourites Örebro, speak of fluid attacking play with rapid movement of the ball. Kristian Haynes and Dennis Östlundh an unlikely yet very successful forward pair and re-born Derek Boateng in a holding midfield role with playmaker duties. Rikard Norling and Nebosja Novakovic has done an amazing job of turning a listless crew of has-beens and never-wases into a well organized attacking team.
