Woke up this morning to the deletion of the original general thread, so here's an all new one.

Lob your general AFC stuff in here folks instead

They're two times winners you know.

Probably about the only thing they have won in my lifetime without financially cheating 😉

We are also two time winners. 🏆 🏆

A Paul Wright hat-trick helped us defeat Hearts 4-3 to win it in 1987.

I know mate

I was being sarcastic on this occasion 😂

Nico Milanovic interview. The first half hour is worth a watch, he talks about his time in Aberdeen. Think he exaggerates slightly on some things tbh.

Not watched it, but from the written summaries I’ve seen at least he admits he’s a big girls blouse who couldn’t hack the physicality of this league.

That was for me THE number one fundamental problem throughout Thelin’s squad right there - and the main reason they all need/needed to go…

Thank Christ SR has replaced them with the absolute battlers I saw at Dens 😜

Milanovic claims that there's "loads of Northern Irish players coming in".

One is hardly "loads".

I’ll enjoy laughing at him this season.

I hope he does well enough.

His failure is on us.

We clearly never did our homework on the loon.

It's ok to have one poor signing like Milanovic, it happens, but the scale of poor signings the past 6 years is spectacular.

We easily now have a squad of Cormack era shyte, who will grace our all time worst player list.

Not much of Robinsons buys will bring in the much hyped add ons, but I think most are solid enough for this league.

Yep that was bad and I called them out on it as we’re all just sick & tired of seeing those attitude no shows year after year.

Fair to say they addressed it straight away the next week. Need to keep that up every week though.

I am in no doubt Thelin’s jessies would have lost both games too…

It's quite a change for ex-players to throw mud at the club, rather than claim they will always be a Don, until they then sign for our most hated rivals. Naming no names.

If you read books from our ex players, I don't think I have read one where the player didn't write highly of the club.

They may have had a shit time on the pitch whilst with us, but always wrote about a well run club, who looked after their players and staff and usually all had nice things to say about the City.

I don't like reading and hearing that hasn't quite been the case recently.

We shouldn't sell our soul in the persuit of gnasher and his Yankee pals wanting (and failing) to make us a top 100 club.

We know we are THE top club and don't need any verification to prove it.

Some of this will be media driven. When a story lands well (views, chat etc) then journos naturally go looking for more of the same. I saw Jensen has now been interviewed. Haven’t read the article. Seedy, west coast journos will be creeping around all our ex-players now looking for tit bits to stick a few more knives in and get ‘clicks’.

Wish the Croats I played against down here (in the 'pub' leagues) were pussies.

They were fckg mental.

It was a bit of a nothing piece tbh. Nothing to get excited about. Basically said they had an honest discussion and both decided Elfsborg would be the right move. Even wished the new manager well and urged fans to be patient.

Jensen was interviewed by the Press and Journal.

Mitov was interviewed by a freelance journalist who lives in Aberdeen.

Milanovic spoke to a podcast from outwith Scotland.

Shinnie spoke to a journalist who lives and works in Aberdeen, and was asked one question about Aberdeen (I know this because I watched the whole interview). The rest of it was previewing Hearts v Inverness.

"West coast journos" indeed.

I was speculating about the future rather than what had gone before but yeah, take your point.

Said freelance journalist did appear to have framed Celtic photos on his wall…

Anyone know if we’ll be selling the pregame shirt? Not a fan of the gear this year, this one i’d do. Think I’ve seen it in short sleeve too??

No idea I'm afraid, maybe email the club shop?

Gonna be a laugh us being rubbish this season, but us all getting a cup final day out when the Aberdeen B team wins the Challenge Cup.

Is this like the UFWC, in which Scotland are statistically the best football team ever?

I believe so, someone has painstakingly worked it out from the very first match played in the Scottish Cup in 1873 until now. It appears we have won it on 85 occasions, for a total of 332 matches, most recently in May this year after we beat Hibs.

Now, do we hold the title or do Aberdeen B'?
