Hasselbaink at St Mirren?

8 goals this season.

Bring it on!!

Think Dev is more Provan than this guy!!
More of a wide player than an out & out striker, six league goals this season & two of them against the Dons <grr>.

Only 21 though, might make a good addition :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
What a fantastic gesture, Skinman, thanks. I can hardly wait to watch their wages flying out of the club next season.

We'll be the new Rangers in no time.
 
I'm sure big Pat wouldn't be on too high wages, i know his actual goal scoring record isn't the best but that's not the be all and end all of a goal scorer <ok>

Wise words, Skinman, wise words.

Aberdeen have just bid farewell to long-time servant Darren Mackie, for example, who played 346 games and must have found the net at least once during his engagingly lethargic striking career. This dogged determination to consistently underachieve eventually rubbed off on his team mates, thank God, and I&#8217;m not sure anyone could begrudge us our 9th place finish in the league these past three years.

The problem with spoiling the stay-away fans with failure like this, however, is that it lowers expectations. And so, if we can&#8217;t clinch 9th place or worse next season, the fear has to be that the fans will return in droves, giving an unseemly boost to the club&#8217;s finances and potentially jeopardising our chance of relegation as the board get all glitzy and snaffle 8 goal superstars like Nigel Hasselbaink from St Mirren. It&#8217;s all a bit Glasgow, to be honest, and we&#8217;re so much better than that.

If this Pat chap has recently been troubled by feelings of happiness and hope, incidentally, you can tell him we&#8217;ve patented a cure.
 
I can't think where else to put this - and the thought of starting a thread before the season begins exhausts me - but I do feel it needs to be recorded in some way that Aberdeen (who only scored 36 goals in the league last season) started their tour of Germany with a 12-0 win against crack teutonic outfit VfB Alstätte.

"Peter Pawlett, Scott Vernon and Gavin Rae all notched doubles, and Rory Fallon, Joe Shaughnessy, Rob Milsom, Ryan Jack, Niall McGinn and Mitch Megginson grabbed the others," exclaimed a newspaper.

And so, for the historical record:


Am Wochenende dem 21.07.2012: VfB Alstätte 0 v die &#8220;Dons&#8221; aus Aberdeen 12

Das ist echt toll, ja?
 
Ich habe durchfall. :laugh:

Psychosomatic - er ist außerordentlich klug - kommt unter der Stuhl hervor und sagt: Ich bin mir dessen bewusst, Tina, vielen Dank.

Hmm. This could be turning into a very strange sort of German play, not quite in the literary league of Berthold Brecht, right enough, but a valid cultural addition nevertheless. Copy and paste the above into Google Translate if you're unsure as to how the action unfolded. Ah gwan, gwan, gwan, you know you want to.

But that's me clean out of German for the day. I can only really think of Juden Juden Raus Raus Raus, but this is just a fun phrase I say when I meet up with those boys in the Black Forest and play army games and I'm not really sure what it means. I just like the company, to be honest, and if they're happy shouting out this stuff then I'm happy to do so as well. Great bunch of guys.
