It was the longest voyage known to history; the ships were pushed to their limits, their crews were racked by storms and devastated by disease. However, the greatest enemy was neither nature nor the fear of venturing into unknown worlds. With blood-red Crusader crosses emblazoned on their sails, the explorers arrived in the heart of the Muslim East at a time when the old hostilities between Christianity and Islam had intensified. In two voyages that spanned six years, Vasco da Gama would fight a running sea battle that would ultimately change the fate of three continents. The Last Crusade is an epic tale of spies, intrigue, and treachery; of bravado, brinkmanship, and confused - often comical collisions - between cultures encountering one another for the first time. With the world once again tipping back East, The Last Crusade offers a key to understanding age-old religious and cultural rivalries resurgent today." Seems really relevant currently with all current religous conflict in today's world. Although I studied history at school (ages ago) I don't really remember too much about the crusades and certainly didn't remember that in the early to mid centuries of the last millenium Europe was mostly Islamic. Anyway just about a quarter of the way through but a good read so far.

Just ensuring our reality is crystal clear to all. I mean FFS Manc imagine the fans having unrealistic ambitions

In fairness will probably do alright for them next season as only going to be playing at the level he was for QOTS this season. The challenge for him will be to produce it as NewCo move up the leagues.

I have absolutely no doubt about that whatsoever. We need to face facts. We are burdened with debt, a stadium that is fast becoming seriously unfit for purpose, suffer from a serious lack of investment, and are and will REMAIN a selling club. Put all of that in the mixing pot, and an offer of £1m for any player of ours is simply not going to be turned down. Don't like it, but thems the facts guys

The question is how much of a difference is there in the definition of "silly money" between the fans and our board

Have had my registration number since 10th May, but obviously still not able to apply for tickets. Think the pricing is way over the top. Park n Ride in operation at the princely sum of £20 per car per day. Robbing bastards Will still be applying for tickets though

Just fucking mental....... And to think they could have had Big Josh on a Bosman

WTF How can they possibly do that ? Realise there are no sanctions in place to stop them signing players, but seriously how can they do that, and secondly what does it say about the boy Wilson going there

Usual Retard article with no attributable quotes whatsoever. Decent scoring record at Helen and Murderwell. Didn't ever really appear to be in favour @ Hearts. Could he do a job for us ? What kind of message would signing the likes of him send out to McMannus ? Discuss http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-talks-bring-out-of-contract-hearts-1908012

Totally out of all proportion...walk into any KFC and you'll see plenty non black people tucking into it. Woods is a moaning faced prick at the best of times

Really hoped that Murray would kick on this year after his maiden grand slam. 2013 could be in danger of slipping away from him though

Doubt he'll get any game time, but guess the experience of being part of the squad can't do him any harm Nice to get recognition though

I actually meant, it could have been Fallon

Taouil....no thanks, yesterday's news. The other two, guess we could do worse, but neither of them worth breaking the bank for

Whilst not exactly cause for scenes of jubliation, it could be worse

Hear what you're saying but don't necessarily agree. We are a bigger club in the context of our league, than Stoke are in theirs. Accordingly I don't think our expectation levels are too high in Scotland. Most supporters I know would be happy with top three or four year after year and the odd cup win. Given the lebghty list of those club's to have won either League or Scottish Cup since our last trophy, I seriously don't think that is unreasonable expectation.

Pretty much sums up what is wrong with the Premiership. A team like Stoke finishing mid table is an achievement in my eyes. Expectation levels are rediculous at some of these clubs.

P.S .....been waiting for this moment

Was going to say, hate to say I told you so, but you what....fuck that delighted to say I told you so a good couple of years ago.......

MBT.....not the only one who has got the first correct, just hope the second part of mine doesn't come true. I was in a customer meeting in the Weeg when I got the text, and let out a very loud YES Some guy who claims he follows the howkers, says in response, is he the boy that Celtic let go. Just goes to show how current he actually is on Scottish football.
