Champions League Match 4
Liverpool 1-0 Aberdeen


Liverpool edge us out in one of the most boring games I've seen with only 10 shots at goal in the 90 minutes

Aberdeen 0-0 Kilmarnock


Despite the awful game and result this was a Day of landmarks as Andersen makes his 150th league appearance for Aberdeen while Michal Soldan makes his 200th.




Hearts 0-2 Aberdeen
Loeffen
Lecomte


The last few performances have been real shaky! And its been a real struggle to get the goals especially Loeffen who had been on a 10 hour drought without a goal




Champions League Match 5
Paris SG 0-1 Aberdeen
Loeffen


A Massive upset in Paris has left us with a great chance to make it to the last 16. PSG had the best of the match but we made the best chances and could have scored more even though 1 was enough tonight.

Have you asked the board to expand or build a new stadium? Your average attendance suggests you're filling Pittodrie week in week out

94% attendance and 7 sell outs by December suggest we are! Stewart Milne has always said they cant afford a new stadium however that may be one obstical i'll be able to overcome if we get a new chairman.

A New stadium is all we can do to increase income at the club. Not sure if the SPL moving up the Euro rankings helps it get more money or if thats possible at all?

SPL increasing in rep will help increase attendances that aren't already sell-outs and increase TV and prize money.

Moving up the Euro ranking will mainly affect price tickets which means more money :) It won't increase attendance much, but winning games will.
 

December

Defeat Zaragoza with an unlikely hero leading us to a last 16 clash with Man Utd
Increase the gap to Celtic by beating them at Parkhead
Finish the year off with two 5 goal wins





Takeover at Pittodrie


New chairman Lee Burns has taken over At Pittodrie and with his Greenock based consortium. He immediately invested money to improve the training ground and youth training facility's while investing £6m into the club, Not quite the £52m i was told but nevermind. Also after asking for a new stadium we apparently don't need one as the financial benefits wouldn't warrant building a new stadium.



Fixtures




Motherwell 1-2 Aberdeen
Loeffen
Elias


Our team are knackered and i had a awful feeling our run was going to end here but after taking the lead for a second time i decided to play it safe and hold out for the win which we did




Aberdeen 4-2 Dundee
Loeffen 2
Hughes
Salmonsson


Exactly the kind of game we didn't need before our big champions league game. A high action, high pace game which included Salmonsson scoring with his 1st touch off the bench, not bad for a wing back. Amazingly Craig Crawford only made his 50th appearance for Aberdeen in the league. Seems like he's been here forever




Champions League match 6
Aberdeen 2-1 Zaragoza
Hughes 2


Darren Hughes is a Very unlikely hero but his two goals were the difference between being in and out. Zaragoza put up a late fightback but thankfully we held on to win and end the group in 2nd place.

Elias


Today was all about Loeffen. Not always the most reliable forward but at 20 years old he has plenty of time to develop further, not that he's a donkey at the moment




Dundee Utd 3-0 Aberdeen


Yeah you read it right. The winning run is over! Dundee Utd had 3 shots on target to our 8 but some how non of our efforts go in and we are well and truly humbled!




Aberdeen 5-1 Rangers
Rodwell
Elias 3
Cabestany


This game was my 400th game as a manager, All for Aberdeen and not many were more satisfying than this result. It had been a close game till Elias made it 3-1 halfway though the second half as Rangers proceeded to collapse




Aberdeen 4-1 Motherwell
Loeffen 3
Andersen


Loeffen gets another hatrick which sets him up nicely for his 50th league game for Aberdeen where if he scores once he'll have a Ronaldoesq record of 50 goals in 50 games




Kilmarnock 1-3 Aberdeen
Sneddon
Loeffen
Rodwell


It took our star forward 15 minutes to mark his landmark game with goal number 50. It wasn't all good vibrations at Rugby park as Rene Andersen is ruled out for up to two months?

A Match ruined by the ref. After taking a early lead we lost left back Mjomen to injury at the half hour point then 7 minutes later Loeffen got sent off for a second yellow card, two of the 11 handed out. Man Utd were later reduced to 10 men which led to our champions league hero Darren Hughes coming off the bench to score a 2nd and put us in a great position for the 2nd leg

Aberdeen 2-1 Celtic
Loeffen 2


After total domination by the Dons Celtic took there only shot on target and with it the lead. With no signs of a come back we had to go gungho and Loeffen managed two goals in 7 minutes to turn the match around and open the gap to 21 points




Dunfermline 0-5 Aberdeen

Archer played almost every game this month with Cabestany being injured and resting players through other matches meant he got his fair share of appearances. Good enough to start but the competition for the two winger positions is very stiff.

Aberdeen make it a hattrick of League cup wins, my 4th overall. We were always comfortable after getting a few goals in Dundee Utd had a mountain to climb.



​
 
Doing really well and great news on the takeover. Is pittodrie expanded to the maximum. On the stadium I am with the board, your average attendance isn't good enough to rake in much more income from a new, bigger stadium however it may increase attendances.q
 
No more advances in the stadium. I'm looking every week to see if there is the option to ask for a new stadium. Not interested in an expansion as it would just be a waste of cash. Never had it over 28,0000 in other games and with Pittodrie being pretty run down and in need of replacing and Aberdeen becoming to top team in Scotland they need to get a stadium worthy of our position.

So 1-0 up at half time then the second goal put the ball in our court however Fulham were not to lay down and loose and scored 2 goals in 3 minutes to retake the advantage. A Quick attacking change and the gungho philosophy was acquired and in the 91st minute the man who scored at Pittodrie to give us hope Elias nodded home the winner on the night and the tie.

Champions League S/F 1st Leg
Aberdeen 1-1 Liverpool
Archer


What a night to get your 150th appearance Daniel Monnard. Shame he couldn't keep a clean sheet in Europe. Liverpool took the lead very early on and we had a chance to equalize almost immediately but Elias missed a penalty after his heroics in the quarter finals. We did eventually get a equalizer from sub Brett Archer but we'll probably need 2 goals at Anfield where we were dismantled only 6 months ago

A hatrick in the 1st 13 minutes from Kardum set us on the way to this thrashing of Rangers. Just the revenge we needed from our last meeting and to wind the boys up for a trip to Anfield

Unbelievable! Aberdeen have made the champions league final! Was delighted to get a early goal from Elias but was waiting for the Liverpool onslaught which never arrived. Into the second half and Loeffen turned the tie on its head with a second goal giving us in effect a 3 goal lead. Liverpool pulled one of them back but had left it far to late and we have made it to the final.

Unbelievable making the final. I would advise expanding, it'll increase income temporarily, increase the chances of a new stadium being approved, increase the capacity and expansion potential of the new stadium, and provide a little more funding when selling Pittodrie to build the new stadium, leaving less long term debt. There's also a bug causing some new stadiums to end up with a capacity of one which should be fixed in the next patch.
