How can someone with enough skin for four faces be faceless?

Fair play to them but JMG is an internet microcosm rather than a majority.

For the record, Aberdonians are not good at the protest thing. A few embarrassed chants, a quick look around to see if anyone else is still chanting and then off home for tea hoping nobody from work sees you on the telly.

A dirty protest?

Westend, do you have a projection of the number of people who will attend and in light of the actual number of attendees have you considered renaming it a tête à tête?

Apparently, the letter is printed in full in the P&J so over to them to finish what they started. The little note below shows how much of a cunt they will make of themselves if they don't do it. Even if there are 15 of you, you'd better finish off the protest No-one turns up for Rushdie protest 11:11am Monday 23rd July 2007 By Telegraph newsdesk » A PROTEST against novelist Sir Salman Rushdie's recent knighthood proved to be a wash-out. A march had been planned in Blackburn by Tasaddiq Rehman, spokesman for local group the Muslim Council of Europe, on Saturday afternoon. But nobody turned up at the meeting point of Bangor Street Community Centre, nor at the town hall where a demonstration was planned. It appears that not even the organiser himself had attended, despite telling the Lancashire Telegraph that he expected high levels of interest in the march. Mr Rehman was unavailable for comment

Good point but swapping like for like (enter Mark McGhee) is change for the sake of change. Given the money it would cost to fire JC, such change may well be counter productive. Why not spend the money on the team?

My tuppenceworth. He has the 4th highest budget in the league so, apart from one year, he's met his performance targets. I hear the argument that McGhee et al are performing well on a fraction of our budget or punching above their weight but Calderwood is not afforded the same benefit when he does achieve his targets or for when he finished third. I'm sure there are better managers around but history shows AFC have an unnerving ability to pick our replacements poorly. And there are many worse than him. He attracts good players like Miller, Seve and Smith so I wouldn't mind if he was given the chance to see through what he's started. However if we could 100% pick a man who could take us to the mythical next level (on the same budget) then I'd change him tomorrow. In conclusion, JIABISHFSA. (Jimmy is alright but I'd swap him for Sir Alex).

Much clearer Al.

The option "I'm not particularly happy with things but he is far from God" doesn't really make sense.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on them too.

Both were free transfers. As most of his signings have been. If you look at the cash he's been given and the players sold from beneath him I think his record stands up pretty well.

I've just started Skin Lane by Neil Bartlett. It has a bit of interest in that I know that area of London very well but it's also a very interesting writing style. The book is set in 1967 but the author is telling it from contemporary times. This gives him the ability to drop little hints of what is to happen in hindsight. All very cleverly written and poorly explained by me but so far so good.

Difficult to disagree with any of that. How about asking Fergie's son if he fancies a bash at it though?

Big deep breath. I said at the start of the season he needed to win something, he wont now so I do think his time is probably up. However, in my opinion, he can walk away with our thanks in that he steadied the ship. One of my biggest fears about JC leaving is the ability of our board to pick an adequate replacement. Judging on past performance, JC aside, we''ll end up as relegation fodder within 18 months. I hat eto say it but better the devil you know?

Looks like Natasha Richardson is brain dead. Shame the window is closed or I'd be right in there.

Whatever the team we need to put these cunts firmly in their place.

Stoney, your journeyman takes two sugars.

JMG

You think fucking wrong.

+1 for reading ability

I remember Aberdeen playing for a 0-0 against Bayern Munich in the Olympic Staduim in 1983. Real backs to the wall stuff. One example of many, many I could come up with that shows even the best football teams don't play to win every time. Didn't your beloved United put up the shutters against Barcelona away last year. Money thrown at the team. If I thought you kent fit hyperbole was (not ten pin ) I'd have thought you were taking the piss. The budget thing isn't as clear cut as you make it ou, if it was then you shopuld never expect to finish higher than 4th. If you did then that would just be hypocritical...

Do you mean Just Like Honey or Candy Talking?

Anybody who needs a graph to pick Lee Miller before any of the rest of them should go and watch rugby.

I'd play Miller and Smith. I still think that's his best position.
