    We look totally unstoppable at the minute and I can't see us dropping any points in the foreseeable future. Does anyone think we can go on to win our remaining games?

    No. On the face of it, we look unstoppable, but you know how football is. One bad ref's decision, one opposing goalie having a great day, one bad bounce, one unlucky deflection, a couple of injuries etc etc and a poor result is likely.

    That's always assuming the players don't mentally "relax" once the title is wrapped up.

    I would say at this point it would be a gargantuan effort to win every single game remaining.

    I personally think we will drop points, if we don't it will have been a special season of the likes we won't witness again for decades. It will also make the ICT draw even more frustrating.

    Think back to Motherwell or St Johnstone away, eventually a team might manage to hold out on us.

    Not going to happen, chances are once league is wrapped up we'll lose 2 games I think, only because Rodgers week likely rest key players close to cup finals to ensure we do the treble

    If we're a couple of games from an unbeaten season no one is getting 'rested'.

    We might rotate like we have been doing; Lustig for Gamboa, Erik and Jozo, Roberts and Forrest but we won't start flooding the starting 11 with fringe players.

    We rotate, but we don't field weakened teams, really.

    It would be a fantastic achievement if we managed to finish the season unbeaten, let alone winning the remaining games. Given the way we've played this season, it's not impossible.

    We just might do it.

    It will play on the oppositions minds also, could have themselves beat before we kickoff.

    That is probably true. And if that is the case then we could remain unbeaten all season.The hardest ones I think will be against Aberdeen.

    Can see us possibly drawing a couple of games after the title is wrapped up but i can't see us losing any whatsoever. It would be some achievement.

    I can't see anycunt taking points off of us at the moment but it's such an insane task I can't see it happening either.

    I'm a bit of a pessimist so I'm constantly thinking a defeat is around the corner.

    Don't have anything to base that on however as this season we have been relentless.

    If we are going to drop points it will be after the split away to Aberdeen or St Johnstone or something.

    This.

    As has been said, all it takes is a hun ref giving us a dodgy red card or the opposition 'keeper has the game of his life - like the Inverness goalie when we drew.

    In saying that, we just always look like scoring at least a couple of goals. It would require Dembele, Sinclair, Roberts, Forrest, Rogic, Armstrong and Griffiths to be off their game or unavailable for us to look anything close to toothless.

    You're a bit of a pessimest as well, I'd never have guessed :56::50:

    Unbeaten season, record points total, European record of winning points margin.
    All achievable and worth playing for.

    Rodgers has us playing at a level we aren't used to seeing lately, the rotation is great for the team and no one looks remotely in need of a rest. Eboue and Armstrong will come in for Brown and bitton(gawd) as it stands, rogic will be due back to take over from Henderson if need be. Gamboa and lustig. Izzy and Tierney.
    Erik and jozo. Boyata and kolo. Forrest and Roberts. Griffiths and dembele. Even McKay Stevens for sinclair.

    No need to rest or play a weakened team when we have this at our disposal.


    Gordon
    Lustig, jozo, boyata, Tierney
    Brown, bitton
    Forrest, henderson, Sinclair
    Dembele

    De vries
    Gamboa, Erik, kolo, Izzy
    Eboue, Armstrong
    Roberts, rogic, gms
    Griffiths

    Both are more than capable of seeing out this season unbeaten, considering the level we are playing at. Admitedly we dont know anything about Eboue yet, but going by the price tag and noise the management makes, I trust them.
