For some reason, I've now got the fear about this game. Probably because of the BBC Sport article about FC Noah. I think it'll either be a great European night at Pittodrie like Copenhagen 2007, or a humiliating home defeat like Zalgiris Vilnius 1996 or Sigma Olomouc.

'Ark at you with the pun.

Karlsson is confirmed as being back in the squad.

I wouldn't have thought so if he's died...

Chic - Good Times

On this day 30 years ago, Stephen Glass won a bicycle. More importantly, the Dons won the Coca Cola Cup after beating Dundee 2-0.

Yes, but it's good news for his sponsors and FIFA. And when it comes to the World Cup, that's the most important thing.

I see that the global brand that is Cristiano Ronaldo has had two of his three banned matches for his red card suspended, so he won't miss any of the group stage. Apparently, because it was his first red card in 226 caps, he just gets a rap on the knuckles.

Surge pricing?

You're right. It was one point, and that was a draw at Tannadump.

The Scottish Cup losers are close to appointing Nancy as their new manager. Wilfried, that is. Not Sinatra.

No. But you can say "it's" without it turning into "it?£!#s".

On this day in 1992, Aberdeen recorded their biggest-ever away win when they thrashed Partick Thistle 7-0 at Firhill. The scoreline was equalled on 31st March 2017 at Dens Park. The game had been rescheduled after the original was abandoned. I believe it was the famous incident when a member of the Firhill ground staff tried to clear snow off the pitch with a broken broom.

I was walking past Nottingham Forest's ground this week and noticed that they have a wall full of inscribed bricks with messages from supporters, which got me thinking about our Centenary Way outside the Richard Donald Stand. I haven't been to Pittodrie for years, so I was wondering if it's still there? I found a news item on the official site from 2013 which says that the granite setts were uplifted for cleaning, but I couldn't find anything else about it.

European fitba returns to the Cathedral of Football on Thursday 27th November at 8 pm when Aberdeen host Armenian side FC Noah in the UEFA Conference League. Our guests are a fairly new club, formed in 2017 as FC Artsakh. They changed their name to FC Noah after the fella with the ark from the Bible in 2019. They won the Armenian double last season and have a respectable record in Europe in recent years. They are not to be underestimated, but I still fancy a home win. 2-0 to Aberdeen.

Full time. That was stressful, but worth it. Also, played one, won one when I've started the match thread on here.

Seven minutes added on?

I see Shankland is out because he "slipped on icy AstroTurf". Aye, right. Hangovers get worse when you get older.

On this day in 1986, Aberdeen appointed Ian Porterfield to replace Fergie. It didn't work out.
