The Scottish Premier League has long been a bit of a joke, listen to any football podcast and you will hear constant jibes at the quality north of the border. Now, I have to be honest, this has never bothered me. The SPL is pish and if it wasn’t for my overriding affection for Aberdeen, I doubt I’d give a damn.

Therefore, this season has been a bit weird. Mainly because we seem to actually be quite good.
Four Four Stu
I did a podcast for university on Aberdeen’s impressive start to the season. Now while I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, I am kind of happy with it in an embarrassed kind of way, so feel free to give it a listen. Credit for the inventive title goes to Sean Douglass.
