What a transformation in Aberdeen this season. Fast paced, attacking football.
They had a club record 10 straight home wins under McInnes, which they must be confident of at least emulating.Quote:

St Johnstone new gaffer more wins already than us all season.
Hearts gaffer 2/2
We're in serious trouble.
had easier fixtures early on which allowed the to build confidence which is now showing through, to be fair to them most teams will struggle against the pace they play at, refs will be having a meeting to ensure a few decisions go against them so another team can catch upQuote:

A tough player who can leave the foot in and hardly ever get punished for it, is a huge asset in the SPL. Especially if the player doesn't belong to any of the Cheeks.Quote:

Aberdeen on 25 points.
How long until we get to that.
March?
We had 4 utter diddies in the league cup, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Dundee in our first 10 games. We had plenty chances to build confidence.Quote:

not mathematically anyway
I don’t expect Jimmy Thelin to be at Aberdeen to long , doing a great job there so far . Not taking it away from them though six of there eight wins has been by a single goal … 2-1 , 1-0 , 2-1, 2-1 , 3-2 , 1-0 .
The most impressive thing about Aberdeen is their work rate and how well drilled they are.
They press as a team, hunt in packs, show for the ball and move forward and backward at real pace. It also seems like everyone knows their job. When someone loses the ball his team mates is already covering for him.
They looks a serious team sadly.
And yet, it's the fundamental basics that any club at this level should be showing on a consistent basis. Why this is such a rare feat for us is truly perplexing.Quote:

Go long for Boyler tomorrow cos the Yam are ponderous at best at the back.
This is what David Gray promised us with his non-negotiables.Quote:

Pretty much all good sides go long when required. Most of them have a big guy to play a long ball to if required. No danger hearts will play high enough to have Boyle getting in behind. Cant remember them ever doing that at Easter Road.Quote:

Especially when you can clearly see it is offside. I think the Man City keeper did last season due to the play being allowed to continue.Quote:

The pace of this game in Madrid is unbelievable. End to end stuff
2 goals in 2 mins Barca! Wow

They have a good manager - spent money well and recruited well. They have also scored 18 and let in 8.Quote:

What a great game that was. Over to you Hibs!
One thing I’ve noticed is often when the big superstars don’t get their way or win they don’t shake hands just walk off the pitch. It’s becoming more common and pretty poor considering the role models they are meant to be.
His one with an open goal was a shocker however his finishing before that was sensationalQuote:

That was beautiful.
Yes makes no sense you do get the impression if a big team are getting horsed at home they like to finish asapQuote:

Yeah - not his best day. Scored an own goal, coceded a penalty and got sent off. Not the sort of hat-trick you want to achieve.Quote:

Saw Musselburgh win the cup a few years ago. Am pretty sure they qualified for the preliminary rounds of the Scottish Cup for the first time. Would the same apply for K&D if they win? Shall try to.get to the final.Quote:

Spain have some brilliant youth players coming through.
Musselburgh Athletic into the 3rd round of the Scottish cup, not sure when the draw is.
