He does from me. I have a serious man crush on the guy. I love Shinnie and will likely have a tear in my eye when he leaves or retires from playing.

Woke up early this morning and actually looking forward to this game tonight.

I have a lot of hate for both the oldco and their tribute act and even more for any of our players who have taken their coin. I never in a million years thought Miovski would sign for them. He came across as getting us and thought he got our hatred towards them. When I think back to that Sunday afternoon, last August, when our support, me included, gave him a tremendous send off and hoping that our love affair would continue one day. I never imagined he would end up signing for them. Even up to the day he signed, I still thought it was a wind up. Treachery of the highest order when he signed up for them and hoping we get the rabbit toothed c*nt greeting again, when he leaves Pittodrie next month. I also don't buy into giving him a free pass because he is foreign. He knew fine well. Ash Taylor summed him up best on Twitter.... Filth!

An avid reader and I read just about anything. Just finished the autobiography of Cher and now onto a Victorian Detective novel. To follow, I have a history book about an undercover agent in WW2 and Fraser Clynes book about Arbroath beating Bon-Accord 36-0. Last week was Men in Love, by Irvine Welsh. It is set in the aftermath from when Renton steals the money at the end of Trainspotting. Then I was on the Nicola Sturgeon book. I used to read political biographies all the time many moons ago, but this was my first one in a good few years. I struggle to be interested in politics and politicians now

I thought the tickets were relatively cheap, as although too young to go, I've read about all there is to read about the bands and the Two Tone scene and I can remember the cheapness of the tickets for what you were getting to see. I think that £2.50, is about £12 today. Mental the value of tickets now. I actually saw The Selecter in Aberdeen, the night before the cup final. They were very good and Pauline Black was amazing. Set me up nicely for the best weekend ever.

I think Milanovic may come good too. Think the lad just needs a goal and a run of games to get his confidence up. Not convinced he is a winger though.

Wow, that I would have loved to have seen that tour. I would have been about 6 at the time. Very jealous of that claim. I bet it cost you about a couple of quid for a ticket too.

I listen to loads of music on a daily basis, mainly through the radio, but got a fairly large collection of my own that I like to give a blast too. I'm off to see The Skids on Saturday night and then have Squeeze/Madness on Sunday night, so been blasting a bit of their albums the past few days, to get in the mood for the concerts. I like Madness a lot, but only going this time around, to see Squeeze.

For me anyway, a stadium outside Aberdeen means, we're not Aberdeen anymore. If the economic benefits of a new stadium are so good and obvious, then why don't the great and the good of the City, many of whom have made a fortune from the oil and gas industry, not step up and chip in a few quid to build it. Be much more of a legacy than a car park at the hospital. Cormack is a shark and we have a few more than him involved at the club with very deep pockets (and short arms). I do agree that our Council is poor, has been for years, but not a unique problem to Aberdeen. Look at the limited gene pools in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Not a ringing endorsement of UK politics and it gets even worse at local government level. The last thing we need as a city, is for the stadium debate to become politicised. I trust Cormack about as much as I trust the council.

Dinna go there min. I thought Dave was off the alcohol now. Sounds like he's been on a bender and then sat down and wrote that shyte. Just what the City needs right now, more division.

I think the loan system is a great option, as long as not improving a Celtic player. I do wonder the logic of taking young lads, with little first team experience, from other clubs and throwing them into our first team, whilst not giving chances to any of our own. Lobban is holding his own in the first team and sure some others probably would too, if given a decent run.

Certainly shades of Trump with that statement. We are getting into murky waters with statements like that.

She means Twitter and the South African weirdo is Musk.

An article on the P&J site about players likely to leave in January. Nothing was surprising in it, bar a claim that Alfie Dorrington has been back in full training, but just not getting picked for the squads. So he was in the list of possible departures in January. I just thought the lad was injured. Be a shame to see him go if true.

I'm going to embrace the 1-0 wins. This time last year, we would have loved a shithouse win against anyone. A 1-0 against St Midden on Wednesday will be acceptable.

I don't mind the Wham xmas song at all. Bet it has made them a pretty penny these past 40 years.

Just watched the Soortscene highlights. A welcome three points and a clean sheet, but the bit that really annoys me, is that we couldn't play a game like that in the league last season, during our horror run. Would happily have shithoused a win like today during that run. Shinnie though, legs have gone, get rid, booooo, but no other Aberdeen player would have chased that ball that led to the goal.

Great! St Mirren are on a shit run and we have a tendency to help teams stop bad runs. In South Stand Work Hame 1-0 - Lobban

We take it, but fuck it's painful. Just discovered we have St Mirren at home Wednesday night. Can't wait.

A goal, potentially three points, but we are gash at the moment.

For me, it looks like the players have given up on the 'project'. Even if we turn this around, it has been woeful so far, fucking woeful.

Well I don't think any of us expected that line up. I hope we get the points today, or the noise around Jimmy's future will get a lot louder. COYR

Billy Bonds - Ex West Ham United captain, away at 79. I remember my first Panini sticker book as a kid having the West Have Team of the time, around about 1980 ,and how old they all looked. 799 games for West Ham, but actually started his career at Charlton,

That is what this current team/squad of ours has reduced us to. The optimism from after the cup final is long gone.

I might be wrong, but weren't we on more points by this time last season, than the champions elect.
