  1. Do I though? I think there are glaring issues in the current team that means we're going to have a massive summer ahead of us again. The more we do now, the better. Not trying to be negative but there are areas that just have never been replaced. Centre half I am out on, if he stays fit then it will be a great move and good to see thinking ahead. Midfielder - a loan, I'd have liked to have seen a player to replace Shinnie in the middle (then another in the summer). Retaining KM was a massive boost though. I know Jan is a bad time to recruit, but we're at risk not finishing second. I'd like us to finish second and hopefully get a cup win.
  2. So has there been any further chatter on incomings? Really has been a poor window. I'm expecting the last minute crocked nobody to sign tonight. Obviously on the back of the Lewis news, we'll need a competent back up / competition for Rogers. Had hoped we'd see a centre mid come in.
  3. He promised to return the day of the reckoning...guess that’s a no then
  4. Well this is a pleasant surprise. I just hope we do it right. No skimping on materials etc. make sure it’s the fucking dogs bollocks. Can’t wait for my first piss in a west hill garden.
  5. Always sad to hear of a dandy going, let alone too soon. Name appeared a lot on my fezbook feed a lot this week so clearly a well liked guy. Question, why not a minutes silence? Would seem like the right ground to do it? Anyway, I’m sure whatever you guys have in mind will be a fitting tribute to him
  6. Haha I was planning on starting one this morning, so thanks jute Hopefully see a relatively unchanged team although I’m not sure whether I’d prefer arnason for this game or the weekend trip to our bogey friends Hamilton. When is May supposed to be back? Out Bed (in the new house, finally!) Bed Bed 2-0, mcginn and logan
  7. https://aberdeen.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/331114 Starts at 10:30 I believe. An interesting day ahead of you now!
  8. Caravan palace are brilliant. was after you’d mentioned the Brixton gig which I missed out on, went trough a period of listening to a fair bit of them. Would love to see them live
  9. That’s probably a very fair comparison. Although I think Pawlett was slightly better at this stage. Maybe I’m wrong and remembering him too fondly. Still, going out on loan to another premiership team can do the guy no harm. Hopefully he’ll get the chance to develop like we hope he will.
  10. Nah wonder if seebass had a cheeky flutter Sounds like the jury really is out in ball as to whether he played well then too ! I read elsewhere that hulls third bid for McKenna was £700k . They can get fucked. Don’t want him going anywhere.
  11. Been given to McKenna has it not al?
  12. As a side note, the replay of the goal is made even funnier by Macdonald mouthing wow afterwards
  13. What a ping from McKenna Glad to wake up to a positive result, desperately needed after the midweek bottle crash. Very surprised to see ball start, howd he play? Positive to hear that Rogers had a decent game too, hope the keeper we will probably sign gives him competition but won't be no.1.
  14. In all honesty, I had meant to start one last night but was still pissed off. Agree with Rico on this, think they'll be a bit short of confidence, and rightly so. Useless pussies. I really hope we see the return of the McKenna / Arnason along with the return of McGinn to the starting lineup. We need to start having a more consistent team. Out Bed Bed Bed 2-1 Dons, McGinn and GMS, late winner
  15. Possibly one for Tyrant. Found this lot earlier last year. Awesome sound.
  16. Agreed rocket. Thoroughly disappointing to see aoc alongside McKenna. Slow as treacle and gets turned all the time. Should be an interesting one
  17. I see DM reckons we'll have Chidi in place by the weekend, what a surprise they couldn't make sure it happened before the hun game
  18. I see there are rumours of Jack's injury being season ending. What a shame

    Aye but he's as dull as Tim Henman is, so he's definitely English.
  20. Nice pass from the referee too
  21. Where did you hear this? I really hope we sort a deal out for Arnie. Edit: I see the sun are reporting it. No big loss (re O'Connor)

    Well done Kyle Edmond, very well played. Bet the English are loving it

    Watched the Meyerwitz stories last night. Had no prior knowledge of it but it popped up on Netflix. Pleasant surprise, good few laugh out loud moments. Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller generally not being their usual typecasts.
  24. This game'll be the first marker for DM imo. Those two games against the hunnery early December are hopefully write off's due to the speculation. We need to play with the vigor and tenacity we did last season and we'll be fine. As others have said, we are good attack wise, albeit, need to take any chances we create.

  25. We cannot have AOC and Reynolds anywhere near the starting line up for this one. Revert to the two proven centre halves and have a more attacking formation (not that DM does that very often). It can only be an improvement on that shite we saw late last year. Out Bed Work (might try sneak the red TV commentary on) Work 1-1, Shinnnie
