So was Theo and Kjaer imo

Very true tom but If memory serves everton were fairly fucked financially when he was there? I hate the prick but if you were to offer me strachan or smith for the scotland job i would take smith every time.

I heard he used to do that at Mordor as well. I actually saw Rougvie in the golf club before a home game a year or so ago. Not an ounce of fat on him, not a man to be fucked with still.

Polworth being out is pretty big for them, he's been playing really well under Foran. Raven was one of the best rb's in the league a few seasons ago but has lost a yard of pace the past year or so and Tansey always shows up against us these days so all in thats really good news. I'll revise my prediction to 3-0 dons Stockley rooney and Mcginniesta

Say what you like about Smith (and I often say walkout traitor hun cunt fyi) but he is very pragmatic and skilled at getting results. Scotland under Smith would likely have got at least the play off in the last campaign and be performing significantly better in this one.

Some folk just can't get over the fact he grew up a Celtic fan. Bobby Biscuit posted a while back he heard 'fans' calling him a taig at a match. I know every support has their knuckle draggers but some of the treatment NM really angers me. He's one of the best signings the club has made in recent and not so recent memory.

If it was more or less a fact that he doesn't try he never would have scored against Celtic or put the cross in for quinn to score the winner last season for that matter. He might not always play well against them but I have yet to see any evidence whatsoever to suggest he's not giving his all.

Tell that to the previous posters who think he doesn't try against Celtic then.

I don't subscribe to the whole Mcginn didn't show up against Celtic nonsense and I would absolutely start him. I would also go 4-4-2 as really their only weakness is at the back. Intae them, heed first etc. Lewis Logan AOC Considine Shinnie Mcginn Jack Maclean Hayes Rooney Stockley

Interesting to see how we line up for this one, it's the widest pitch in the country. I would very much like to see the same back line from the PT game as it looks like it's got potential. Probably out as I'm just about to fly back from Iceland and it's easily the most expensive place I've ever been. Online Walk the dog then maybe the pub Crafty 1-0 the dons or an epic five goal thriller

Foster, thought he had become a pretty decent fullback by the time MM took over and was raging he pushed our only recognisable FB out the door. That he went to the huns was insult to injury. I said this one before but when Foster was on sportsound for the first time he did their quickfire questions. He had already spoken about his distaste for MM and that he hadn't wanted to leave Aberdeen. When he was asked what his proudest moment in football was I expected playing in the champions league to be the answer. Without any hesitation though he answered "being made cub captain at Aberdeen". Regardless of what you think of him as a player he clearly loves the dons and whilst it's depressingly predictable that he gets boo's I think it's a real shame someone who holds or club in such regard gets treated so badly by our fans.

Wow. Just.... Wow

As in people actually said that Al?

Seriously?

Really don't understand why you wouldn't want Wright

The stand out candidate would be Tommy Wright, no question. IMO he is the best manager in the league, there is nothing to dislike about how he has gone about his business at St J, indeed, everything to be impressed by. McIntyre is a dud if you ask me, not interested. Mcleish is a dinosaur of the game, not interested. I wouldn't be gutted by Archibald as he impresses me and you never get an easy game against thistle but Wright would absolutely be the man I would want.

Basket case club, doubt he would be interested

I wouldn't want barton within a mile of the training ground let alone playing for us. I'm sure deek could get a tune out of him but he's a fucking liability both on and off the field. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and if he can regain his burnley form or not but I suspect rocket maybe right and his legs have gone.

..... worth a look? I jest, of course.

Hun media is quite amusing this evening. They don't seem too enamoured at the prospect of DM which is quite interesting but then they are huns so obviously not the sharpest tools in the box. Regardless though if MW walks our manager is going to be bookies favourite unfortunately.

It's not playing with Anderson who would tell him what to do imo.

I thought Maclean had good game yesterday, particularly in the first half though he did fade in the second a bit. I've said it many times before but I think CM is his best position and I hope he stays there. Overall that was a really satisfying and much needed 3 points against a very stubborn and organised thistle side. It was interesting to see DM be a bit more cavalier in his approach by going 442 and long may that continue. Rooney did look a bit lost on friday but i did wonder if it was because Maddison was given the wide left birth but was constantly trying to come inside meaning the AR had to go wide left to cover. I would be very interested to see how we would do with hayes on the left and mcginn on the right. Having such natural wide players being supported by shinnie and logan would make us almost unplayable on the flanks and with the kind of service Rooney and Stockley would be getting opposition penalty boxes would become shooting galleries. The problem playing that line up though is, of course, the dropping of Maddison. You could play him as one of the strikers but that's not always such an easy switch to make.

I think we saw the best defensive partnership we have on friday night, for a first time out as a pairing I thought Consi and AOC played really well together. Great to see shinnie at FB again as well

I'll be stunned if this is an easy game, thistle are good team and come into this on the back of two wins.
