Well, the weekend's upon us once again. So here's hoping that Martin's team can take some points off Rangers!

And that Latics can beat Southend. Been very inconsistent of late, but we're still well in touch with the teams above us.

Boruc escapes a red card. He's becoming more of a liability...

Mark is that for St Mirren?

England V South Africa at Twickers. A rerun of last years world cup final just about to start on Sky Sports 2.

Bit of a mixed bag today again. Oldham won 2-1 at Southend but Leeds won, as did MK Dons, Peterborough and Leicester, so it's pretty much as you were - a point outside the playoffs.

And I'm sorry, but that mauling by South Africa was just embarassing :evil:

42-6 was the biggest ever loss by England at Twickenham. Just terrible. :oops:

Just watched a re-run on Sky+ of the Boks game at Twickenham - taxi for Cipriani! All-Blacks might take 50 off them next week.

Scotland had an easy win at Pittodrie over a poor Canadian team, however Ireland beat Argentina in a dour struggle at Croke Park, which means Scotland drop a place behind Ireland in the IRB World rankings and will miss out on being 2nd seeds in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. All-in-all a crucial weekend of international rugby.

Meanwhile, just saw Spurs taking a 1-0 lead at WHL.....

Yep the Harry magic is alive and kicking at the Lane. Another 3 points and up to 16th and out of the drop zone. Another win and we could be in the top ten. :)

Mark who are you playing? Is it right you need to win to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Mark it was said on the radio this morning that Celtic are so embarrassing to Scottish Football that they shouldn't be allowed to play in Europe again. So sorry you must be gutted this morning.

I don't know who said that because we actually played really well last night and threw it away on a couple of deflected shots.

It was a guy on Talk Sport. I think he was trying to wind up Alan Brazil. ( probably a blue.)

Hard lines Mark!

Next time you guys come up to Pitoddrie I reckon we should play the Champions League music to welcome you onto the field. Or perhaps we should declare Aberdeen an independent European state.
