Over the festive period, there has been much discussion about whether the Dons can win the SPFL Premiership title this year as the team closed in on Celtic.
On January 1st, Aberdeen overtook the odds-on favourites to take the title and are now sitting on top of the pile.
We decided to have a look at what Dons players and managers past and present (and a few significant others) have been saying, and whether they think the club can end its 30-year wait for the top honour in the country.
Can Aberdeen win the league in 2015?
The current Dons side reminds radio presenter and author Richard Gordon of the teams he watched in the 1980s. "Right now, the Dons are proving their credentials by sweeping all before them," he says.
"The supremacy of [Celtic and Rangers] has gone largely untouched. This season, however, that has changed, and there is reason to believe we could be in for a most thrilling conclusion, with the potential of different champions for the first time since Alex Ferguson’s Dons scooped the honours in 1985.
"Right now, it is the Pittodrie outfit who look best equipped, having put together the kind of run required of a side which is to be taken seriously as possible title-winners."
NO: Celtic manager Ronny Deila
It'll be no surprise to learn that the Celtic manager thinks his team will take the title, but it is still eye-opening to note his arrogance.
He told the Express: "If we win our game in hand, we will be two points ahead. We know what we have been doing is the best in the league. We have to keep progressing.
"We will see in April what situation we’re in. Hopefully we’ll be ahead and can even win the league quickly.
"The players can find an extra gear."
He gets the treatment from Dons fans whenever we play them, but St Mirren's Jim Goodwin reckons Aberdeen have what it takes to claim th eleague title.
He told the Record: "Their defensive record is one of the best in world football. They’re blessed with a team of great individuals but also collectively as a team they are a solid unit and will run Celtic all the way."
NO: Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon
Manager of English second-tier strugglers Bolton, Neil Lennon, was asked by the Herald if he found the fight for the SPFL Premiership title interesting. "Not really," he replied. "I think Celtic will come strong. They have the pedigree, although I have to say eight wins in a row from Aberdeen was fantastic consistency.
"I thought they wouldn't be as strong as they were last year but Derek [McInnes] is doing great things there with a limited squad," Lennon added. "But I think Celtic eventually should pull away with the quality and depth they have."
Big Brian, 1990 Scottish Cup hero, thinks we have a great chance. He told BBC Sport: "They have genuine hopes of success, not just in the League Cup, but in the Premiership as well. Only being two points off the top of the table, Aberdeen have got a realistic chance.
"The manager will quite rightly not say that just now, but Aberdeen have a realistic chance of winning the title this season, so it's fantastic to be an Aberdeen fan just now."
NO: Current player Johnny Hayes
The current team are playing it much cooler; the main example being Johnny Hayes who recently signed a new deal at the club.
He told BBC Sport: "I think the league's in the bag for Celtic and we're just taking it one game at a time, and hopefully bridge that gap and get closer to them. Celtic are still in a league of their own."
YES: Atletico Madrid president Miguel Angel Gil Marin
Aberdeen faced Atleti in the UEFA Cup seven years ago, and last year the Madrid club upset the odds to win La Liga ahead of behemoths Real and Barcelona.
Atleti president Marin said: "Of course it is possible for Aberdeen to win the league, just like it was possible for Atletico to win it in Spain.
"What I would tell Aberdeen is that to make it possible you have to keep working very, very hard. Good luck to Aberdeen in Scotland – we know them because we played them in European football a few years ago.
"Our objective was to win the league title because we knew it meant we would be known across the globe as the club who beat Barcelona and Real Madrid.
"We showed it is possible to defy the odds and achieve greatness and I hope Aberdeen manage to do it too."
YES: Former Dons boss Alex Smith
Alex Smith was the last manager to take Aberdeen to the brink of the championship, in 1991. And he believes that the talk of increased pressure during an unbeaten run is nonsense – in fact, it's the opposite.
He told the Scotsman: "This is all new and fresh to the Aberdeen players. There is nothing onerous about where they find themselves. They have slowly built themselves up and they will be absolutely relishing the fact they have reached a level where they can go out and win games without constantly fearing that a defeat is round the corner.
"You have no idea how players can grow when they develop that belief and confidence."
NO: Ex-Aberdeen player Joe Miller
Former Dons wing wizard and Tennents Sixes star Joe Miller's heart is in Parkhead, and he backs his boyhood club to beat the Dons to the title – but is wary that they may shoot themselves in the foot.
He told the Herald: "Aberdeen and Dundee United have put up a great challenge and Derek McInnes has done a terrific job at Pittodrie.
"I am still confident Celtic will win it in the end, but it is at a stage now where they are leaving the door open. They need to give themselves a boot up the backside if they want the title."
YES: What's that coming over the hill? It's Ricky Foster
Richard Foster, disliked by much of the Dons support despite his valiant efforts to derail 'Rangers' climb through the lower leagues with an impressive series of laughable performances, thinks his former club can go toe-to-toe with Celtic.
He told the Herald: "It's good that there is competition in the top league and judging by their results, I don't see why Aberdeen can't keep it going.
"They have a lot of quality and I'm sure if they do go on a good run then Celtic will have to look over their shoulder."
MAYBE: Young Dons star Cammy Smith
Young Smith scored the goal to seal victory that took the Dons to the top of the league, but he's keeping his feet on the ground.
He told RedTV: "It is exciting times at the club. On and off the pitch the club are doing brilliantly at the moment and long may it continue.
"We are top of the league, yes, but it is just one game at a time. We just need to keep winning and keep ticking them off the list. There probably will be set-backs along the way.
"But there are still a lot of games to play and if we can keep the consistency going, hopefully we will be there or thereabouts."
YES, IF AFC SPEND IN JANUARY: Legend Willie Miller
Club legend Willie Miller thinks the board should back the boss - and having served time both on the board and as manager of the club he is in a good position to give his opinion!
The legendary skipper said: "Derek McInnes has earned the right to be allowed to strengthen his squad when the transfer window re-opens later this week.
"He's delivered all that has been asked of him at Aberdeen so far. But for three games it has been an almost perfect year for the Dons.
"The only black marks have been those Scottish Cup defeats by St Johnstone and Dundee and that final day league defeat by Motherwell. There will be no such slip-ups this time if McInnes is allowed to strengthen his squad further for the final push."
Dons boss Derek McInnes is trying to keep the lid on any title talk… "The challenge for us is nothing more than that to try and improve on where we are," McInnes told Sky Sports News. "And if it continues to be as close as we go along then we might have to look at it elsewhere.
"But for now it’s just about the next game."
MAYBE: Dons boss Derek McInnes
The gaffer has also said that if the team keep playing the way they have been, then they're in with a shout - but it's Celtic's title to lose.
He said: "We're two points better off than this stage last season while Accies, United and Caley Thistle have all improved too.
"But it's a fact that only one team can lose the title and we're all trying to get closer to them. I can only speak for my own team and all we can do is try to knuckle down and keep producing that level of performance.
"We've done it despite injuries but we're only halfway through the season. We want to beat last season's tally and if we do we will see where that takes us."
But McInnes does say that his team can handle the pressure of being at the top of the league.
"It's nice to be there and I honestly never felt that that [handling the pressure] was going to be an issue," he told BBC Sport.
NOT TELLING: Peter Pawlett, baby
Cult hero Pawlett was asked about a tilt at the title, but he beautifully side-stepped it as if the journo was a hapless SPFL defender.
Pawlett told the Scotsman: "We just want to improve on last year and beat our points tally. The manager keeps drilling it into us that we can't get ahead of ourselves and we have to take it one game at a time as every match is a different challenge.
"Picking up the points every week is the challenge and if we can do that consistently we'll see where it takes us.
Well, that's what they think. But what do you think? Why not tell us on our forum – the biggest and best around.
