Man Utd cracking up under the pressure! Who'd have thought it?

1 point more than I thought we'd get!

That's what I thought when I saw the Man Utd score today! Then I LOLd.

I know.. imagine taking an interest in other leagues when our own is so amaz... oh wait.. nevermind.

Man Utd will more than likely win the title, yes but as far as their personal rivalry goes Rafa owned him.

Rafa v Fergie mind games. One clear winner and it's not Fergie.

No no.. Diamond was looking for a Bolt-on. It's one of those deals you get from o2!

We always do.

Yes.... by "accident".

TC.

Er.. well. Aye. Partly that. A captain should know the team well. Players and staff. It takes more than half a season to do that. [quote author= link=topic=7453.msg115551#msg115551 date=1233159758] Oh sweet fucking Mary walking her dog! Abderson was a fine captain, and I think the work Severin does is underestimated. Remember, unless you're Stoney, all we see is 90 minutes of football, we've no idea what goes on behind the scenes. As I've mentioned previously, from the outside looking in, team morale is at it's highest it's been for a long time. Captains usually play a major part in that. I guess there's a lot more to it than ranting and raving on a Saturday afternoon, but 'many' probably don't see it that way. Based on recent results, and the way we've been playing, which has seen the team go onwards and upwards, I'd like to see things remain the way they are. And that means JC as manager, and Severin as captain. : Christ on a bike!!!!!!!!! I know that screaming and shouting isn't all the captaincy entails! But that's what 'many' i.e. the general consensus were crying out for. (pun intended) I also never disputed that we don't know what goes on behind the scenes. That argument can go both ways. How do we know that Seve is a good captain and how do we know that Zander would be a bad one? Yes results are going well but that may or may not be down to Seve’s captaincy. I guess we'll find out when he fucks off to League 1.

Not at all. Russell was the best Aberdeen captain in my living memory. As I said alot of people complained he wasn't vocal enough. Now we have that in Zander and people doubt his suitabilty. Kerr is indeed a candidate although I'd much prefer someone who's been at Aberdeen for a bit longer. I can see him getting the vice captaincy.

Like what? The Noel Whelan thing? Zander is pretty well behaved is he not?

For the love of fuck! I'm not saying we need someone who just screams and shouts all the time. When Russell was captain many believed he wasn't vocal enough. Many have questioned Seve's suitability for the role and the only other possibility is Zander. Zander's been the one leading by example on the pitch recently. Russell is the very definition of "leading by example" but that wasn't good enough. He wasn't "vocal" enough.

Someone's going to have to grow their hair to fill the void.

Still smarting right enough! Not disputing Lee's opinion. Just saying that he's hardly going to say "He's not a great captain but we put on a show of respect for the media and fans." This doesn't mean he's necessarily a shit captain. But Zander is a more natural leader. A more vocal presence is what people have been crying out for. I read/heard countless times people's moans about Russell not being vocal enough. Seve is even less vocal but now it's not an issue anymore? Strange!

As do I! You made all that other shite about no youth policy and a clueless manager up; you certainly didn't get it from me. I was just saying that that little piece of deplomacy from Lee Miller doesn't mean he's a particularly great captain. WHich I don't think he is. Bunch of pedants.

Anyway it's typical footballer diplomacy. Nothing to go on.

Aye.. very deceptive!

So what are we basing Seve's supremacy on then? He does fuck all. The glory hunter wounds are still being nursed I see!

He was always the one shouting instructions and dictating where the defensive line was etc.

Balls.
