Nor I but I suppose Real have played more matches than any other club and thus a greater exposure to the risk of defeat. I’m not s statistics man.

It was a rocket.

City trounced by United’s latest redeemer’s XI. Guardiola’s third defeat in a row. He wouldn’t get away with that at Ibrox.

It looks as if Jefte thought Butland was coming to catch the ball so he ran off wide to receive a thrown pass, which suggests he was completely unaware of the presence of Halliday. Bad mistake. He doesn’t defend all that well but not much worse than his predecessors at left back. He’s better going forward though. More energetic and with more options than Barisic and more productive than the expensive Yilmaz.

Didn’t happen unfortunately. Mentioning proper clubs, have you seen the Championship top six? Only Watford lacking pedigree and Blackburn were in it instead of them last week.

I remember a team with Caldow, Baxter, Miller and Brand in it getting the dreaded slow handclap.

Henderson had one half decent season but the main point is neither cost a big fee.

I’d have Martin Henderson and Ally Scott before Dessers.

Pay the players and manager half their wages this week, Tavernier, Lawrence and Dessers a bit less than half. Actually those three actually owe the Club.

Clear as can be.

I had that feeling at the end of last season. Seems to have gone now.

See @buster. above.

The great man sporting a batty blazer. Anyone make out the word on the badge? Might settle an old argument except apostates will claim that “Ready” was a blazer motto only and the real Club motto was something different.

Apart from Russell and Cooper and maybe McLoy man for man United had a better team. That’s judging McCoist on his form at the time.

That would be a good starting point but they would need a run of four or five games together regardless of results or performances. Are we willing to accept that? It seems that although the season was set aside for development, the club is still trying to compete. Can’t be done.

Martin Buchan was the Aberdeen defender. His father also Martin played for Buckie Thistle at outside or inside right, outstanding at that level. That Scottish Cup semi final was one of Stein’s best ever games under threat of suspension for the final. Most semi finals don’t stick in the memory, probably because they are over-shadowed by the finals or in a few cases because they are the end of the road. The only other one I remember is the 1-2 replay against Hibs 1958 and the notorious disallowed equaliser minutes from the end.

Thanks, CF. A sums simpleton like me can understand that. Says it all.

Agreed. Back in the box ‘til we win the League again. In the meantime:

And the second and the third. Then we should manage it.

Shirley makes us a fortune. Floyd not so much.

Agree wholeheartedly but try getting the team to see it that way.

Yes but look at their league points.

Brendan or Ange obviously or if their contract are too expensive even for United, Lennon’s available.

I’m just worried. I understand the conflict but it’s Aberdeen and though my head has written off the season my inner juvenile harbours a flicker of hope. If it were near the season’s end and Hearts or even Dundee or Motherwell were in Aberdeen’s position I would probably agree

I like the look of Cameron. Could he play in the same midfield as Barron?
