Wouldn't really disagree with anything you say, but, although Jess was magnificent when he came back, I'd say a nod has to be given to Jim Leighton as well with regards to us staying up. The 6-5 game versus Motherwell for instance, Leighton got man of the match. What the fuck does that say about our defence? ( i know we finished bottom that season, but it's symbollic of how fucking atrocious we were, and how fucking brilliant he still was)

Gunn was a good keeper, if he was at any other scottish side at that time he'd have been number one. Really good guy too

Not sure about the Gillhaus signing or the signing of the other Dutch players, but we'd never have signed Paul Mason if it wasn't for us signing Theo. Was speaking to Alex Smith last year (our supporters bus ran from his pub in Stirling), and he was saying that they had gone to look at Theo but he wasn't playing. They stayed for the match and saw Mason playing and decided to sign him straight away. Smith said that pound for pound, Mason was his best ever signing.

I watched that game the other day. Some goal from Mckimmie... his one for Aberdeen was good too . Brian Grant and Jim Bett were fucking brilliant that day.

Good question. I don't think that there can be any argument that Willie Miller would have to be one of the three. He was the focal point and driving force of our best team and is easily the most influential player we have ever had. For the other two, it's pretty hard and there are so many good arguments for so many good signings, but the two I'm going to go for are: Theo Snelders - In my wildest dreams, I never thought we'd replace Jim Leighton so adequately. A wonderful goalkeeper who stepped straight into a great relationship with Miller and McLeish in particular. Charlie Nicholas - Came in at a time when there seemed to be a bit of a cloud over Pittodrie; We'd lost Fergie, the team was breaking up and generally not doing too well, Porterfield was relying too much on just having a good defence to win matches meaning we were being far from entertaining. The whole club needed a lift, in particular the players and the fans and Charlie Nick is probably the most glamorous signing we will ever, ever have. It lifted everyone and I've never seen so many people so excited by a signing at Aberdeen. Proved to be a great player for us and one of the best I've seen in the red shirt. Have to say that Frank McDougall was close for me too. Replacing Mark McGhee was a huge ask, and Frankie did it brilliantly. Just ashame we only got two years out of him because of injury.

Yeah, I think he'll be used sparingly, certainly won't be starting every week. Would imagine he'll start more games at Pittodrie than away matches.

Third then?

brilliant news. didn't think there was a chance of this in a million years. Big ups to JC, WM and the artist formerly known as "that judas cunt McLeish". nice to have positive thoughts about big Red again COME ON YE REDS!!

how raging must you have been the other night!?!

Dundee.

I thought this thread was going to be about Fatjim, but it just turns out I mis-read the title.

I can understand what you mean, but the ball doesn't always have to go forward. He can keep the ball for us, something several players for us seem utterly incapable of doing.

Man U at 8/11 tomorrow night. Worth a punt? They traditionally struggle at Pompey, but Redknapp's lot looked shaky as fuck last week and very unimpressive in the Charity Shield.

yeah. That one and the one from Rowbottham who bottled out of sending off that wife beating cunt Gazza after he headbutted Inglis and elbowed both McKimmie and Bernard takes some fucking beating

There was one early in the second half he poofed out of that was particularly shameful. I'm struggling to find what it is that JC sees in this guy.

Are you sure he's as good as useless? Substitutions were a bit baffling, but probably does show we were settling for a point.

The fact David Wylie is with them surely means that we have a fair idea of the extent of the damage?

and Stephane Guivarch played in a World Cup Final!! i'm still baffled at that one...

Wednesday has no consequence on tomorrow as far as Miller and Foster go. Miller is pish. He can run, that's about it, pops up with the odd goal, but then so does Darren Mackie. If you're going to start "fretting" over Kenny Miller I suggest you get out more, there are more dangerous players we'll face in the course of a season, by which point you'll have given yourself an ulcer with all your fretting. Don't worry about it, it'll be fine.

someone had to!

You can say what you want about Stewart McKimmie, but he got it fucking on the money when he said that Broadfoot was at best a first division player, and should be nowhere near the Scotland squad (after he was called up while still at St Mirren).

Working til 11am Saturday. Watching it in the house with wine, beer, a couple of dons fans and the usual trepidation and anxiety. COME ON YE REDS!!!!

Well played Slim, now, as a member of his fan club, do you know when he'll next be in the area??

Apart from your homo-erotic homage to a former dons captain...?

No room for the Hearts badge then?
