Loki Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think for Aberdeen to win the league they would have to at least break even with Celtic in the remaining two head to head games, so a win a piece, or two draws. It would be very hard for Aberdeen to win the league if they were to lose both remaining games against Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 You think? We'd be 10 points clear if we'd only won the 2 games played so far... We'd be 9 points clear at the top in we'd won those two. 9 points ahead of United that is, 10 ahead of Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaBaaBlackSheep Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Not sure we'd have gone on such a good run if we hadn't had the Celtic kick in the nuts in the last minute. McInnes has a knack of turning setbacks round by using them to spur us on in future games. We are where we are.

NorthernLights Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We talked about winning the league after the game in the pub today. We decided that it would lead to numerous deaths from alcohol poisoning and the city would need to declare some kind of emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Once ra Sellick get pumped out of Europe they will utterly roast the league to ensure they get the Champions League spot that goes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Don Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We'd never hear the end of it if they won the league. This is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Here's the thing. It's easy to have a bit of faith that Aberdeen will perform for the rest of the season, indeed probably get better. Exceptional manager (though he is very slow to sub), goals over the park, solid defence and keeper. The squad is flexible too and have learned the winning habit. Celtic, at the moment, are none of these things, thus Aberdeen have a fighting chance despite wage bill comparisons. Celtic losing van dijk in January could have an influence also. Regardless, isn't it great that this conversation is actually happening without being ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hopefully.......what a glorious year that would be with Aberdeen pipping Celtic in the Premiership & Hearts absolutely butt fcuking Rangers to the Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I believe that Aberdeen can do it. I fucking despise the negativity with people here. There's no point being negative because you'll achieve nothing that way. Every year Celtic win this league. One day it will change. Celtic are shite right now, we're nearly halfway through the season and there's only 2 points between the sides. It should look prettier, because Aberdeen should have beat them last time round at Pittodrie. What they need to do is go into every game week in week out and believe they can win. That way they could push Celtic all the way and who knows what will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The same applies to Dundee United as well who are only 5 points behind. It could be the return of the 80's. That would be amazing. I'd like to think that one title win for another team could mark a shift in power in Scottish football. It's unlikely but it would be magic.

Beat Celtic last week then lose to St Johnstone this week....Celtic's ability to consistently put results together will see them win the league. I agree though.....I'd fcuking love to see someone else win the league again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just say I wouldn't have been too upset had we been beat on Saturday...and the same applies for our game against Aberdeen next week. That said, I enjoyed every bit of our late win the other day.

The Diddies should take it in turns to fcuk over Celtic in the league by nominating a team to lay down to that season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Wonder if it will effect what business Aberdeen do in January. If say Celtic maybe concentrate in only keeping their top players and don't make any big signings of note maybe Aberdeen right at the end could maybe do a couple of short term deals for a couple of big signings as they would anticipate bigger crowds as the run in gets closer. If Celtic spend a decent wack and get in some right good players for this level then maybe Aberdeen would be less inclined to take a punt. Given their finances are in a good place if Aberdeen are in similar position to what they are currently and Celtic still look as fragile they should take a punt in the transfer market assuming they ain't tied down with long term deals.

jamamafegan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The winter transfer window could go one way or another. I don't expect the Dons to spend for a title push. It would be great if they did though to show their intent. Celtic on the other hand, if they lose Van Dijk that will be a big blow. Will they get anyone in? I'm not so sure.
