I blame those players that didn't want to come here for not buying into the "Aberdeen Story"

Just wait to they try to sell the "Kingsford Story"

Aye and Neymar said he supported Paris St Germain as a kid in the favelas and it was his dream to play for them

Its called making friends and influencing people

Aye, so we accept that when he was here, but not when he moved

If we played well and scored goals we might be top or the league. You are a right good laugh to be fair.

Twisting what I said again.
Desperate stalker still I see

I agree - apathy/anger will be much higher if, as most would think will happen, we lost to Hibs in the Cup and then the Dhims
Miles behind in the league and out 50% of the cups by October?
We'll be lucky to break 10,000 for games out with the so called "big 4" clubs.

I’m not that worried. We’ll always get more than 10,000 due to the way the club counts the crowd. We’ll always have 2500 fans at every away game because they go every week & deserve to be there.

As I have said earlier I am closer to being a happy clapper than a pants pisher and generally a supporter of McInnes but you are kidding yourself if you can't see the huge issue we face of not scoring goals. Last season we scored 56 league goals and 11 domestic cup goals. The players that left in the Summer scored 30 of the league goals and 7 of the cup goals ie more than half the goals we scored. Based on what you have see so far who is going to get anywhere close to replacing those goals?

Don't get me wrong, all is not negative as I think we have a stronger defense this year as Devlin is a clear upgrade on Arnason/AOC and Lowe has made a promising start (as long as McInnes resists the urge to drop him in favour of AC at L. Ferguson clearly a good signing but I struggle to see where he fits in a 4231 formation that will get the best out of him.

However you win matches by scoring goals and I am deeply concerned that we have neither enough creativity or goalscoring ability to win enough matches this year (5 1-1 draws already out of 8 matches) and that culpability sits firmly with both Milne and McInnes

Look, I'm not kidding myself, I just don't think its yet time to wet my pants and write off the season.
You get a much better picture after the first round of games.

We've been hampered by injuries and suspensions and may come good still.
Time will tell.

Different saying in in the media when you have just signed and the Tollbooth and Brewdog Bars in Ellon to punters

Im pretty sure im counted every home game even being 6000 miles away 6 month of the year

We've been hampered by injuries...

Signing/loaning injury prone players wont really help that....

Fine margins was it not?

Your Rooney "Salford Story" remark though...brilliant. Now that's twisting

Not really.
Met him a few times myself around Ellon and with Juvenile football links.
Good guy, was always very aware of talking in public and projecting the correct image for the club.
