Graham 3,456 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Starting tonight, we have run of 8 - many tricky- straight premier league games in 35 days, before we break for the Scottish Cup - and I'll be on edge for all 35 of them because how we do will be instrumental in the destination of the title. 3 huge games building up to the 2nd of January and if we can win these 4, we will be in a fantastic position to solidify our position over the month of January and potentially have 1 foot over the line. I am, like many, treating these as one game and one cup final at a time, but still have my mind of how important these games will be. St Johnstone Away - 23/12 Hibs Home - 26/12 St Mirren Away - 30/12 celtic Home - 2/1 Aberdeen Away - 10/1 Motherwell Away - 17/1 Ross County Home - 23/1 Hibs Away - 27/1 I can't think of a period of games any more important than this in my time (conclusion to the UC final season being the next and too young for the hunt for 10) Huge 5 weeks - And I believe we will do it.

If we win all them, we win the league. I just cant help but feel that there will be one slip up though, and I think that if we limit it to one bad result, it will still be okay. 2 or 3 and the picture changes massively. We need to be destroying celtic moral by just looking like a juggernaut. If we grind out the wins, they will completely collapse and Lennon will start lashing out at his team even more.

Horrendous start to the season. Horrendous January (above contributes to it and when we have typically struggled last few seasons) Old firm game very late in the season, so they had better chance of fans back.

The random computer generator has given us 2 Away and 1 at home prior to the split vs celtic, Aberdeen, Hibernian, Livingston and Motherwell. Those 5 would be in every cunts predictions at the start of the season to make up the top 6 and will probably finish that way unless Dundee United can sneak in ahead of Livingston. We are most likely heading into a split where we have played the other 5 teams Away twice already. Reeking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a few beers now and we've just won - so now relatively confident for the weekend too. But come 11am Saturday morning I'll be bricking it again.

RFCRobertson 11,772 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It's important just to take a game st a time, most important game for me is Hibs at the weekend. in saying that, itll be important to beat celtic (obviously) however itll be just as important to follow that performance up with a convincing win ay Pittodrie and Fir Park. Otherwise itd be a pointless win, quite like what happened last year. There wont be any easy games here on; every team needs to be taken seriously. They know what it means to us and they'll up the ante as they always do. Need to be better than our best Depending what happens January, we can safely say the outcome of the league with gooe confidence! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
