Right, there's far too much giddy positivity flying about at the moment, this isn't like us - our forebears must be rustling in their graves at the heights of unfettered hyperbole being voiced just because we are not currently bottom of the league. So to get us back to our roots, here are our current achievements properly grounded in Aberdonian pragmatism. Some key milestones so far: Wins: we've secured enough wins to avoid beating the all-time record for fewest in a season (7 wins, 1916-17). So just joint holders for now. Points: In a similar vein, we've successfully dodged the tag of worst points total ever (21 points, 1904-5, 1916-17). Some way to go for the comparable 3points-a-win season record though (34 points, 2003-4), so don't get too carried away. Managers (league wins): Jimmy Thelin (7 in 8 ) is officially better than Neil Warnock (0 in 6), and is steadily closing in on such managerial behemoths as Stephen Glass (9 in 29), Alex Miller (10 in 38). and Jim Goodwin (11 in 35). So well done Aberdeen... for now.

Matchday of the Dead

If Jamie is reading this... siiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggnnnnnnnnnn

Dear BBC, the reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.

this FUCKING game. Unbelievable. A draw has never felt so much like a win.

this

this game

this game, man

Don;t worry, Celtic have asked for 10 minutes of stoppage time

OK, so what do I know

Duktime. On for Clarkson. Oh, and Sokler for Nisbet, which is a little surprising.

BBC commentary have called the game after 45 minutes, we can all go home now.

that or the medication

On the plus side for Hearts fans, if that QPR stat is anything to go by they've still got 6 wins to look forward to.

I'd like to say McGinn (still technically playing), but he'd have trouble shifting Maddison or Christie. Ryan Fraser?

Positive, but it'll be nothing compared to how many we take to the final.

Close enough.

Scene set for Duk to score the 97th minute winner and complete the most unlikely of redemption arcs.

Wins a penalty. Takes the penalty. Misses the penalty.

Double nutmeg for the goal. You don't see that often.

"Scheiß auf den Koeffizienten", as the Germans say.

It took me a wee while in the Dundee game to realise "Adewumi through on goal" wasn't our ginger marksman lured back up north to sink us.

Out of all of the clubs they could choose from, BBC have to keep associating him with us. Can you have a word please.

Let's face it, everyone keeps calling him Nesbit, I'd leave it as is as it's only a matter of time before he's forced to change his name by deed poll.

Kevin Nesbit gets mentioned a lot by both BBC and the Premier Sports commentators every game, but I've yet to see him touch the ball. Kevin Nisbet, on the other hand, is settling in nicely.
