Wouldn't miss it for the world! I do get the feeling there are less going than went to Madrid though. Perhaps people are skint because they thought Madrid would be the trip. Some others maybe couldn't get a pass, or time off work.

The club have introduced a facility where season ticket holders can purchase their seat for the cup replay on line: http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/clubNewsDetail/0,,10284~1216631,00.html Good idea!

Wondering what sort of crowd we'll get from this. Don't know about anyone else but I can't get through to the ticket office and there are big queues down at Pittodrie. I already have my Bayern ticket but I hope the rush for Bayern ticket eases so people can get tickets for the cup replay. Not sure if it will be worse tomorrow when those with two vouchers can apply for Bayern tickets.

Just finished reading Willie Miller - "The Don" and I thought it was an excellent read. As you would expect there is plenty of reminiscing about the "glory days" but he is critical about certain people, including Ian Donald, Ebbe, Zoltan Varga and Keith Wyness which was interesting. He is certainly no fan of Ian Donald and makes it clear he would not have returned to the club unless Donald was moved out of a decision making role at the club. You can't beat a bit of Ian Donald bashing!!! On his famous incident with Alan Hansen in the world cup, WM was remarkably even-handed when accepting partial blame for it. There was at least one error in the book - seemingly Montrose play at Glebe Park! Nowhere does it say (as reported by somebody on The Hat) that he said he would never allow a Gothenburg great to manage the Dons while he was still director.

The train station and bus station are finally going through a massive revamp!

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?

I see its 3 year contracts they have signed!

BBC carrying the story now aswell. Lunchtime press conference expected after all three were offered contracts on Saturday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aberdeen/7186743.stm

"The Dons, meanwhile, have dismissed reports linking them with a loan move for Everton's Icedlandic midfielder Bjarni Vidarsson." Taken from the end of http://www.thisisnorthscotland.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=149670&command=displayContent&sourceNode=149494&contentPK=19543443&pNodeId=149264

+1 Its utter pish.

Dave Bus is great in FM08!

What an incentive to beat Falkirk in the replay. On the brink of a superb season!

2-2 FT. Sounded like a cracking game.

Just going back to the original post. So far 4 out of 7 predictions correct, and 1 wrong. Others could go either way at the moment.

That's not you down there is it?

Some quotes from Willie on the Northsound website: On the three players who have rejected new contract offers - Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood said he expects only Michael Hart to leave this month. Northsound Sport understands the right back will travel south for talks with Plymouth tonight. The club are yet to accept a bid for Preston for the player. Director of Football Willie Miller added... " Michael is the player most likely to do a deal with another club in this transfer window. There has been interest in Chris Clark and I'm sure that will continue. Things are slightly different with Lee Miller and Barry Nicholson. Lee has been offered a new deal and the door remains open to Barry, as it does the other two players. However I should stress the club has already made him a quite substantial offer "

Top, top album. Brilliant live too.
