Mo Salah is wanting to leave Liverpool. Worth a look?

Strasbourg lost to Toulouse yesterday, their third defeat in a row.

As much of a pain as it is that our games will be so late, at least we're not playing at midday in 35 degree heat.

I hope he can pull off another relegation with them. This time, for good.

History will be made on Thursday December 11th when Aberdeen take on Ligue 1 outfit RC Strasbourg Alsace. It will be the first time in Aberdeen's illustrious 58 year history in European competition that we will have played a team from France. RC Strasbourg finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season. They used to be great, then they were pish, then they were good again. A bit like us. I fancy a 2-1 home win under the lights at Pittodrie. It'll be one of those memorable European nights that the old stadium has seen over the decades.

It is true that all the Scotland games against Brazil have been memorable for one reason or another. Opening the tournament against them in '98, Murdo Macleod taking one for the team in 1990, Dave Narey's wonder goal in '82.

Nik Kershaw - You Might

No, but at least I won't get the blame if we lose.

Fun fact: none of the venues from USA 1994 will be used again in next year's World Cup.

That's a relief, because I wouldn't want us to face Ronaldo, Rivaldo or Bebeto again.

Brazil must be gutted. Every time they have drawn us, they have not gone on to win the trophy. (1974, 1982, 1990, 1998). Optimistically, I think we can get four points and either get through in second place or as a best third place team. Realistically, we'll get battered by Brazil and Morocco, then beat Haiti but miss out on a best third place spot on goal difference.

Liverpool FC - Anfield Rap (Red Machine in Full Effect)

Paul Johnson - Get Get Down

Queen - Death on Two Legs

Wilfried Nancy is the unlucky winner of the race to manage Celtic.

I telt ye there would be goals.

It's often been said that local loons are less popular at Aberdeen than outsiders.

I hope Diana Ross gets another crack at a penalty.

Robbie Williams and the Village People are to perform at the draw on Friday. I'm sure there's some Mexican or Canadian artists who would have liked to have been asked ahead of Stoke on Trent's favourite son.

Contract talks with Polvara are happening and Hibs are sniffing around him like the rabid dogs that they are.

Kylie Minogue - Got to Be Certain

You won't get any hate from me. I'm a man of peace.

Jimmy says that he expects the game to be tough. No shit. They've all been tough recently, because we made them tough. At least he's up front about it.
