With Jota's injury I think we're probably favourites to win it now.

Interesting debate trying to be raised by Pep Guardiola about Man City not selling out their semi-final allocation, and questioning why all the semis are down at Wembley. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg7ljpyv7yo A different conversation in that they have suitable stadiums elsewhere to use. But some of the ticket prices are shocking, some up to £150. For me, semis should never be at Wembley or Hampden anyway, unless there's little alternative (ie Tottenham v Arsenal or Rangers v Celtic). Again, the alternatives up here probably don't help us much - we'd have had to play Hearts at Murrayfield, Ibrox or Celtic Park. Anyway, despite Pep standing up for the little guy, I hope the two-time European Cup winners Forrest beat them. Not because I particularly give a shit about English football, but because before the semis I put on a Forest & Aberdeen cup double at 40/1 odds.

That, the women's Six Nations, and quite a few other things.

Should be said, Jensen has played previously as a wide midfielder. Maybe but so much a winger, but he hasn't always been played as a full-back. Milanovic and Keskinen will be occupying those spots next season anyway. As it goes, appears we're unchanged from the Hampden triumph. Mackenzie back on bench which I don't think he has been for a few weeks.

I would mix it up a bit this week. Devlin back to right back and play Jensen further forward, just because Morris has been alright, but not enough to cement a place. Jensen essentially plays as a winger anyway, but have Devlin in behind to check those runs by Boyle. With Tobers still out, I'd say this is the time to give Milne a start. Dorrington has been okay, but I don't think if we started start Milne (our own player) we would weaken the team. Polvara has likely earned a start ahead of Palaversa.

FYI, there will be no live commentary on Radio Scotland of this game tomorrow. But before cries of "if it was rangers playing, I bet... etc etc", their game isn't on either. I hope you enjoy the unrivalled coverage regardless.

Left footed, apparently.

Sokler out for the rest of the season. Game still too early for Tobers and Nilsen.

***Spoiler alert @RicoS321 *** Don't read further if you want what foot Milanovic likes to use to be a surprise. Milanovic is left footed, but has been used predominantly as a right winger, which suits Thelin's style I'd say as he likes that sort of inverted winger/inside forward thing. He can also play as a left winger and as a number 10. Difficult to see how anyone copes with our frontline next season to be honest. Big job for Mourinho in his Premiership managerial debut at Pittodrie.

I'm here for the Eurovision chat. Austria my early favourite. It's the same day as Dundee United - Aberdeen and it WILL be part of the match thread.

As pointed out by the Here we go podcast. Here's John Beaton putting Aberdeen down to 10 men in a semi-final. And here's us winning it anyway.

If we don't get a 50-50 split we won't be getting 21,000, never mind 26,000. We'd get around 18,000, the majority stuck behind the goal, miles away from the pitch, while Celtic would have fans filling the rest of the stadium including the whole of the north stand. It's not "deluded" to suggest Celtic would get some advantage from that.

They are also collecting for a cup final display. https://www.gofundme.com/f/aberdeen-scottish-cup-final-display

Update: Aberdeen have now won at Hampden wearing their away strip.
