    Realistically, how long do you think it's possible for BR's Invincibles to remain undefeated in Scotland?

    In the past couple of weeks alone, we've had tricky trips away to both Motherwell and Hibs where some would argue that we've been lucky to escape both games with a draw.

    There have also been signs that we're not as clinical or ruthless as we were last season, as well as a bit more slack in our play.

    It'll end this season, in my opinion, although I hope it doesn't. If we make it to the end of January, still unbeaten, I'd be more confident of making it until the end of the season, if we make a couple of additions to the squad during the transfer window.

    The next month will be the toughest test with the number of games we have but if we get through it and the team comes back well rested and with some new signings then there's no reason why we couldn't make it to the end of the season. It's going to be really hard but I didn't think we'd get this far without losing a game.

    There's signs as well that we're into europe after Xmas as well & also have a domestic cup in the bag already,
    with 68 domestic games unbeaten.

    Don't think I can handle all this crap coming together. It's a bad time for the team, coaching staff & us fans.
    * horrible time.

    UNBEATABLE.

    It'll go on forever domestically. They're just not good enough to beat us. Simple.

    90-100. I can see it going a good while yet. Easter road was always a threat. Perhaps the biggest. We dodged that today and although the draw was a disappointment given the 2 goal lead we can now push on stronger with no European games for a bit. And hopefully a defensive signing come January.

    No one's arguing that, however it's more than reasonable to suggest that we've had a couple of lucky escapes recently and therefore another full unbeaten season domestically might not be achievable.

    Steaua Bucharest did 104 between 1986 and 1989. We can and will beat that.

    This is a forum though, debate and opinion is encouraged.

    Aye and I gave mine..

    It's not an issue and it's pure speculation. Anything can happen in football.

    They did that with the weight of the Ceaușescus behind them.

    The fact that people are saying we've not played as well as last year, or 'regressed' this season, and still we are still unbeaten, just goes to show that if we do improve form and get a signing or two in Jan then we can remain unbeaten for a while yet.

    December will be the toughest period imo so if we do this month then the season is a real possibility.

    If you're really good at something it's human nature to slack off depending on level of competition.
    Didn't Irvine Welsh address this problem when * was questioned in the pub?
    How many of us are constantly the best we can be considering our ability?
    Brendan has created something special. We have to be glad he does think about us every waking hour.
