The "noughties" (I really hate that term actually) hasn't been a stellar success for the Dandies. A lot of it has been as painful as the latter part of the 90's. For the first part of the 90's we had a team which sparkled with exciting players, worthy of the shirt and the gate money. They still didn't win much though. But there was great anticipation going to watch them. It pains me to say that was the last time I had that feeling about the Dons.
The last ten years has seen a plethora of low quality players through our books and a plethora of results I never thought I'd witness our club go through. The last few years has seen a much needed stability and improvement generally speaking but we are still way short of where the club should be. The "highlight" of which was the UEFA Cup run. Our side did well all things considered, but it is a sign of how far we have sunk that the club saw fit to release a DVD of the "success". I find things like that utterly frustrating. Aberdeen FC should have more to crow about than a series of draws, one win and ultimately a 5-1 pumping from a handful of games.
But now we've got a young team with the potential to have a big impact on the Scottish game.
So, are things going to change? where do you see us in 5 years time? Is the next Cup win just around the corner? Is this an exciting time to be a Dons fan or is it just more of the same?
