Am I shouting from the rooftops about the imminent demise of the mhanky mhob and the absolute certainty of the title coming home to secure 55? No. Because like the rest I have seen this movie before and prefer to err on the side of caution and, as the saying goes, to keep my powder dry.
Am I, however, extremely confident? Yes.
And there are several reasons for such confidence.
Firstly their first 11 is poorer than previous seasons particularly in goals and in the centre of defence. They are, therefore, more likely to lose to us in the head to head and, in addition, to drop points elsewhere.
Our first 11 is possibly not any better than last season but its certainly not any worse. Our squad, however, is significantly stronger meaning we have better options off the bench in games where we are struggling and, as such, less likely to hit the kind of poor run we have previously.
We are scoring goals from all areas. Where once we were almost totally reliant on our main striker and struggled when he was missing or off form we are now seeing centre backs, full backs, midfielders and wide players contributing a good number of goals meaning we, again, are less likely to drop the kind of points we have previously.
Their strikers for some reason don't appear at it this season with rumours of disharmony and players wanting away. Whether its true or not remains to be seen but the body language from some of their players (and staff) would suggest all is not well.
The random fixture generator - we have come through our toughest set of fixtures and are ahead. They are about to face their toughest set of fixtures right in the middle of their European group stage fixtures.
It is conceivable that they drop points this weekend, get pumped by Lille, and then get put out of last years Scottish Cup. So long as we pick up maximum points in our league fixtures during this period this would mean that their European ambitions and their manufactured quadruple treble were gone and their hopes of an imaginary 10 hanging in the balance - all in the space of two weeks.
That happens, or something approaching it, and they will not recover.
And finally - this season just feels different
I will not, however, be dancing in the street just yet but its coming.
But yes one game at a time. As the season progresses though and with each passing game you are all welcome to join me, at a time to suit yourself, on the Optimistic Loyal.
