Premier League, Rugby Park.
And so the dulling agony continues.....
Fresh from a charmingly competitive 3-0 defeat at bottom-placed Dunfermline and a home loss against second-bottom Hibs, Aberdeen thunder into town ready to destroy the laughably inept League Cup winners, Kilmarnock. Want some? Come on then.
Churlish Dons fans would do well to remember, however, that "there's [been] improvement since last season", according to manager Craig Brown. Really? How so? Well, "we're a point better off than we were [at this stage last season] and we've still got two games left."
Oh. My. God.
Did he actually just say that? A point better off? Yowser. With such giddying rates of improvement we should just about be challenging for sixth place by 2022.
Aberdeen have no new injury worries, which is a triumph, although they'll "still be without Rory Fallon, Rob Milsom, Clark Robertson, Stephen Hughes, Yoann Folly, Isaac Osbourne and Peter Pawlett," which would be a kick in the teeth, if we had any.
I like Craig Brown, but he's starting to occasionally piss me off a wee bit. I'll take a leap of faith and say that all will be well. Eventually.
Meanwhile, the Kilmarnock manager, Kenny Shiels, has been dropping some words from his mouth: "I think we have been the club of the year, when you look at where we have came from. What you have to do when you are summing up how a team has performed is look at what their inheritance was at the beginning of the season. When you are signing players from Yeovil, Scunthorpe, York, Luton, non-league, and bringing them together and you are seventh in the league with two games to go and you have won a cup - and beaten one of the Old Firm in the final, which is unheard of - the answer to the question is quite obvious."
Excellent, I'm sure, but what was the question and who's been asking it and is this something that really needs an answer? Who can possibly care about such things? It's inconceivable.
Anyway, I quite like Kilmarnock and they're certainly good enough to beat us today.
Prediction: Kilmarnock 1 Aberdeen 4 (a freakish end of season result)
Wish List: Inverness to beat (annihilate) St Mirren. I've nothing much else to hope for. Suicide is painless.....
