What's really great to see is the competition for places in the squad really heating up, with everyone desperate to play. To the extent that Duk even tries to murder the young lad who could potentially take his place as first sub.

Sorry, I see why this might look a bit odd. Just wondering if any have a room or club with a bar that I could hire out for an evening.

If I ever have kids, I expect this is how I will feel when I hold it in my arms for the first time.

We had less possession than Hibs yesterday and won 4-0, which is an interesting thing. Likewise, the best performance we had under Robson was the 3-0 win over Hearts last season where we had 38% possession. A few stats from yesterday:- Hibs actually won more challenges than us. They also dominated us in the air. All their passing, whether it was short, long, lateral, forward or back, were more accurate than Aberdeen's. Their xg was 0.9 compared to 1.17 for Aberdeen, so not a huge difference. We both had the same shots on target. They had more corners, but only 12% of them led to a shot at goal. It was 33% for us. Our crosses had just under a 40% accuracy compared to 20% for Hibs. Basically, we were more clinical. Our first two goals, lovely finishes as they are, were free hits. Third and fourth we've overloaded them on their six yard line. It wasn't actually counter attacking football by Aberdeen though. We played a team who are powderpuff, who did have opportunities to hurt us but didn't take them, and we've shown them how it's done.

Don’t think so. Hibs after 15 mins were poor and gave our midfield so much time and space. I actually don’t think Barron and clarkson are a great midfield, and shinnie clarkson and a new player, with polvara as back up will be what we have next season. thought polvara had another decent game, the goal doing his confidence wonders. Actually think resting Shinnie and giving polvara time right now isnt a bad idea. Gives polvara good minutes to get better. Robson ran shinnie to death, not playing him every minute right now isn’t a big deal.

But are we? Would we have played any worse today with Shinnie on the park for the first 67 minutes, considering I don't think the performance dropped when he did come on.

Seems odd. We're not fucking lodge members or something.
