  1. This may seem harsh, but can you please drive slowly until we get the other 2
  2. Giant Pa Broon poster on the wall behind him, clearly was a closet Dons fan already.
  3. Woohoo! Happy Mathematically Impossible to Be Automatically* Relegated Day!!! *barring a points deduction for questioning VAR
  4. Not sure some of our previous managers were even aware they had substitutes.
  5. Fine with this, hopefully we have learned from Warnock why talking out of the correct orifice is more important than the volume you do it at.
  6. Could be worse, are you with me?
  7. Out, probably. Depends on what other tediously unrewarding tasks I am trying to avoid doing on the day.
  8. To be fair, difficult to build up an exciting PR campaign when your only option for a positive message is "At Least We're In The Cup (For Now)"
  9. Typical - every single result went in our favour, except the crucial one we actually had some say in. Next season please.* *assuming it is not in the championship
  10. Thought we looked good for a whole 12 minutes, now we look like panicked spuggies.
  11. I thought Al stopped going to games after the 1916-17 debacle
  12. Before we dive into our make-or-break 31st game of the season this afternoon, I thought it would be interesting to see how we are stacking up aginst the other two years captured at the 30-game mark in this thread, which also just happened to be our best (2016/17 - 2nd place) and worst (2021/22 - 10th place) seasons in recent memory. I also ran the averages for 38-game seasons at the 30 game mark as a comparison, along with adding current end-of-season records as they stand. Some key points: Fail to win any of our last 8 games, and we will equal the all-time 107yr-old record for lowest number of wins in a season. Likewise if we lose all of those 8, we will equal the most defeats in any 38-game season (please step forward Steve Paterson and Mark McGhee). Of course if this were to happen we would undoubtedly have bigger, more downward, problems. We still need to score 3 more goals to avoid setting a new all-time record for least goals scored in a campaign. This should be easy, right? We should continue to be extremely grateful to Steve Paterson and Mark McGhee, as thanks to their efforts we only have the 4th worst goal difference this century, rather than the worst. We are almost 14 points behind the average for 30 games into a 38-game season. Fourteen. We need a minimum of 5 points from 24 to avoid equalling ll-time worst points total in a modern 38 game season (Hi Steve). Enjoy.
