Tails I suppose but that was only pointing out what was blindingly obvious. Seven goals conceded to United, none in open play.

Working with our colleagues at Imajica Brand Evolution we have been updating afcheritage.org The biggest change makes it possible to see appearance and scoring stats for all individual players at all levels: just use the dropdown boxes on the players’ profile page and choose what you want to know.

Interesting release from the CIES - football-observatory.com/LettreHebdom... Aberdeen going well on rising talents (clearly part of recruitment strategy) less so on u21s.

Latest from @afc1903.com is well worth your time. On the enigma, wrapped inside a mystery, wrapped inside a big galoot/footballing maverick (delete as per your own prejudice) that is Papa Gueye:

A closer look at our Senegalese frontman.

Not a Hibs expert but Campbell in for Hoillet (plus Bowie’s pace) maybe = Hibs press high like they did last time at Pittodrie (see pic) Dons likely to respond with longer balls to try and spring Topi and Morris on the break. Could be a game of chicken. I could be totally wrong.

Morning bump for this one.

Brilliant first goal from Nisbet. Four goals in his last five games, plus his assist last week.

At least 4 of Aberdeen’s 8 ‘shots’ came in that stramash around the half-hour mark. No shots on target in the first half for the second week in a row.

I found this hiding away on LinkedIn a while back. Some interesting nuggets from Thelin's time at Elfsborg. Written during the summer.

10 games to go.

Give the boys a follow below and throw in some suggestions for this one too!

When it comes to making money in the transfer market, Scottish football is well behind almost all of Europe's top-flight leagues. It's a serious problem that nobody really wants to talk about. But it's probably the biggest single issue plaguing the Scottish Premiership right now.

A bit late. But some thoughts on the Hibs match. www.afc1903.com/p/sorrow-sor...

🟡 Sources: LA Galaxy have agreed a deal to acquire forward Christian Ramirez from the Columbus Crew. Amercia de Cali pushed hard for Ramirez, but ultimately he's headed to the Galaxy. Galaxy get new starting center forward. SoCal kid, coming home. www.givemesport.com/la-galaxy-ag...

Went down a rabbit hole looking at Aberdeen's goal kick distribution (short vs.long) compared to Thelin's Elfsborg teams. Might not be for everyone. www.afc1903.com/p/a-rabbit-h...
