Send us a text On this week's episode, we look back at everything the St Mirren game taught us, something Declan Gallagher's probably using as a learning tool right now as well. The dynamic debut of an instant hero in the form of Leighton Clarkson (we especially like the first name), Duk's account opened, entertaining football back at Pittodrie and a crowd sent home happy. And we look ahead to what Motherwell might offer this Saturday when we go back there. Plus, the U18s stuttered after a 9-0 v...

A glut of new faces, a successful Premier Sports League Cup Group Stage, and an opening game of the season against the Champions - what's not to like. Well, it turns out, that last bit. BUT, already it doesn't look as damning a situation as last year with St Mirren nearest in our sights and plenty to be optimistic about for this new look Aberdeen team.

Send us a text In this week's show we look back over the final match of the season, and because of the season it's been, give ourselves and you a free pass allowing us to not talk about the midweek defeat to St Johnstone which preceded it. The final game took on a significance of its own as Andrew Considine's playing career at Pittodrie came to an end, but we'll take a moment to pay tribute also to the involvement of the match officials on the day. We're with Aberdeen FC Women in the final week ...

And the result? Bottom 6 football. Now, our attention is forced to turn not to the possibility of European adventures, but making it out of the group stages of the League Cup campaign and the possibility of doing so through matches at Balmoor, Balmoral and the Broch! And before that, we have to ensu...

And there are always plenty of transfer rumours to deal with as well as the Hibs game looming large this weekend. Surely now, it has to be 9 from 9 in the closing stages before the split for Aberdeen to have any chance of recording anything meaningful from their season?
