"Johnny Foreigner"

[Guest Caroline B]

So the dust has settled now after the European draw.

 

Since the draw has been made, several people from all 4 of the clubs we have drawn have been less than complimentary about Aberdeen Football Club. It would appear that they all fancy their chances against us and the points are already in the bag as far as they are all concerned.

Meanwhile, the stance from officialdom within AFC has been a lot more guarded with no one making outrageous claims.

 

Do you think that the mindset of "Johnny Foreigner" is a lot different than our Scottish thinking?

Of course they think they will beat us.  They'd be crazy if they didn't. Equally what game are we going to win?  We look like a bunch of arrogant wankers if we came out saying we were going to win these games.

[Guest Caroline B]

.... and that is why to me...... These foreign teams come out looking like a bunch of arrogant wankers. I sincerely hope that we surprise 1 or 2 of them.

[glasgow sheep]

we are the equvalent of Clyde or Queen of the South to them. I'd be pissed off if we didn't think we could beat them comfortably

[Guest BTR]

Behind closed doors, Jimmy Calderwood will be telling the players that they will beat Copenhagen and Lokomotiv.  That's the most important thing and that's good enough for me.  Professional footballers and managers in Scotland are trained in how to deal with the media and wont take any notice.

let them think what they want!! We are a better underdog team anyway....bet Dnipro thought that as well! when we're all marchin into the next round we'll see who's laughing!!

 

Mon the Eurodons!!!!!

We may be the equivolent of Clyde or Queen of the south to them, but to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be too confident in us beating either of those two at any time

[rednek]

Of course they expect to beat us. If I was them i'd expect to as well. We are obvious underdogs. You just don't come out and say it and make yourself look stupid when battered by the underdog.

Being written off suits us well. Bring on Johnny.

You wouldn't think it to hear the ramblings of JC... 

 

You're right though, let the papers and opposition talk about how weak we are. We'll carry on quietly (for the most part) going about our business, and we'll see who's able to shout their mouths off in the knock out rounds. At home, i definitely think we can beat Copenhagen. Lokomotiv will be a trickier prospect, but Garry O'Connor's talk in the press last week about how their manager's leaving and they've stopped playing for him etc etc has encouraged me more.

Simply Put.  The Underdog has nothing to lose.

 

MON THE EURODONS!!!!

Being written off is good for us. It's a win-win situation for us really. If we lose, at least it ain't to the likes of Skonta Riga or Bohemians. It'll be against proven quality European opposition ... most of whom are no strangers to the Champions League!!!

 

But if we win, we'll be heralded as the best Dons side since Fergie's days.
