In/Out: Oot Pre match: Football Match: Dinner or hopefully a pub that may show it. Post Match: g/f flat Prediction: 2-1 Villareal.

Signing a 1 year deal with us. Can't say that does us any good though Edit: Signed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14154372.stm

I noticed that too. Must have been quite gutting to be Helen (who was looking mighty fine last night imho) hearing that she would have walked it in the previous format.

So first game of the season! Can't believe it's come around so soon. In/Out: Out Pre match: Visiting the family Match: Hopefully listening to the game Post Match: Dinner Prediction: Aberdeen win. Not sure how we're going to line up for this one, maybe we'll get a better understanding after the Villareal game. I also see that this is going to be shown on BBC Alba on saturday.

I wondered how long it would be until we saw this headline somewhere! Hopefully he can actually acheive this though, seems like our midfield may create a few goals this season.

True enough, but I certainly would read that as a 24 month contract.

Just read your other comment

Japan just beat the USA in penalties for the World Cup. A couple of great saves by the keeper! Brown, sign her up!

I thought senna was supposed to be offski this summer? Still, decent line up. I hope Dazza has a great night.

Unbelievable luck, hopefully he'll manage to see it through.

I know that, but it was from reading elsewhere that some people seemed to think they would be shorter. Which didn't make sense. I think he is contracted with us till the end of August? So in that case, he should be in pre season training with the rest of the team and preparing for the duration of the season he would participate in. I certainly think we need someone of his calibre and creativity, whether he wants to do that or not is another matter.

I think he's technically still contracted to the club, but it appears no-one has been in for him. It's a shame he didn't want to stay because I think the upcoming season may have seen the best of him return.

As I said, those are my thoughts on the matter too, just including what had been mentioned elsewhere.

So as CB stated in his interview, we are looking at getting a flair striker in. Personally, I don't see the forwards as an area of priority. Who would you realistically see/like to see come in? From having a quick look at other boards, it appears McFadden is a popular choice, though I very much doubt he would take a drop in wages to come to us.

I knew someone would say that

Lol, that deserves a caption competition of it's own!

A couple of colleagues of mine went to the midnight shows on thursday night, could certainly think of better ways to spend my evenings!

Happy days, anyone there?

Surprise surprise! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14174084.stm

Mentioned that in his article on RedWeb when confirming that Arnason has agreed to sign. I'm quite intrigued as to who it could be?!

Someone on mad was suggesting Kari Kari Kari Arnason, he's hard as fuck, he's as fuuucccckkk (to Karma Chameleon) Interview with CB on Kari Arnason here: http://www.northsound1.com/friday-sport-instant-replay

CB said the same thing (regarding the striker). It's on the official site too saying that he's agreed to sign and just needs to pass his medical on monday before putting pen to paper. http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20110716/icelandic-international-kari-arnason_2212158_2393747

Whilst it saddens me, I have been through the same emotions as everyone else regarding mackies form and duration at Aberdeen. Noone can doubt he's scored some important goals, just not consistently enough. Its weird to think that he's the most talked of dons player, but it just highlights how long he's been with us. Far too long!

Heard this earlier, disappointed, but hopefully brown has his eyes on someone possibly more complimentary to vernons style.

Out and about in London tonight, then tomorrow got a colleagues flat warming party. Want to have a reasonably relaxed weekend after the last one! Weather is meant to be pish too
