Aberdeen are currently everything we are not - a settled team, playing a decent style and unbeaten in the league thus far. They have momentum, are consistent and deserve their position in the league. 

 

That can all change but can't say I'm confident at going to Pittodrie and can only see one outcome (hopefully I'm wrong) 

I agree with everything except this. 

 

The stats say they've been lucky.

 

I expect it to even out over the course of the season - unless they get better...

I think Barron does a cracking job and Raskin is similar but neither is a creative player.  Diamonde started well but has definitely gone off the boil and has been a passenger recently.  Lawrence isn't very good.  Dowell is a waste of space.

 

Hagi or Bajrami should be playing at No.10.  

I don't think Diomande is a #10, he's just shoehorned in because Lawrence is out; and then Cortes and Matondo are out so Bajrami can't play as the #10 either. And Hagi is suspended...

Yeah, I'm aware of the reasoning - I'm just stating my opinion.

I'm worried and conflicted about Wednesday. While I should want Rangers to win every game they play, if we somehow win at Pittodrie,  the only team who benefit are Keltic as I can't see them dropping any points to any team other than Aberdeen. A draw only puts us further behind and again  aids the enemy.

If we don't win the league, I honestly couldn't give a flying f whether it's the rheptiles or that other toxic lot up the road.

I’m just worried.
 

I understand the conflict but it’s Aberdeen and though my head has written off the season my inner juvenile harbours a flicker of hope. If it were near the season’s end and Hearts or even Dundee or Motherwell were in Aberdeen’s position I would probably agree

We should all encourage our inner juvenile. Though to be honest I would rather Aberdeen won the title than the Keltic.

There's not a cat in Hell's chance the sheep are winning the league.  The yahoos will win it at a canter.  

 

We just need to focus on each match as it comes and not worry about the rest.

You're probably right but I hate the thought of them winning it by Christmas.
