pozbaird Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Livvy 0 Hearts 0. Is there a chance, however small, that me saying ‘there’s not a lot between everyone outwith the two uglies, but admittedly Hearts are doing well just now’ might actually have some substance? Naw, shut the fcuk up you Weegie-lite Paisley basturt’, Hearts are clearly better…. Kidding folks… well, a wee bit. Would love our league without the uglies, just love it. Would be feisty and competitive. I can dream, can’t I? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having them in the top flight last season or this wouldn’t see a terribly exciting title race either given we'll be double digits clear of the nearest team again come season's end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I change my mind. I hope we continue as we are. No-one outwith two huge clubs winning the title for a quarter-of-a-century, and, having seen the game at Ibrox on Sportscene, and the Celtic v Morton cup game, a VAR studio bending over backwards to aid the two kunts. Borderline corrupt, if not full blown, banana republic levels of corruption. Silly me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Amazing to think that the height of anti-Hearts lampooning just now is based on the fact 2 of our 13 goals this month came from penalties, but here we are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like getting a single (stonewall) penalty in a 3-0 or 5-0 win then? Now you're getting it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be feisty and competitive. I can dream, can’t I? In any given match the gap is small enough that the games are competitive, but over a 38-game season I'm pretty sure we'll see that Hearts are significantly ahead of the others. I've been confident since the autumn that we'll be third by double figures. We're not Man City, but we're a step above the others. I'd be surprised if it's not the same again next season.

VincentGuerin Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Good point to round off a fantastic month. Pretty much perfect in terms of realistic outcomes, both in terms of Hearts' performance and the other results. An utterly tremendous January, hats off to the team and coaching staff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the league table, and Livvy (a massive club with untold resources and a stadium and fanbase to rival Barcelona) are this far behind you with a game in hand. Excuse me if I don’t buy into your hyperbole about Hearts being double-digit third place finishers and “significantly” ahead of the others. You are ahead, I recognise Hearts are on a good run, but in my opinion, you aren’t a shoo-in for being significantly better than anyone.

You may well be third, and deservedly so. The only ‘by miles’ thing in the league table is the gap between the top two and the rest of us. It’s truly frightening now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit pause and look at the table now, you can argue it's up for grabs. But you need to take into account that Hearts had European fitba in the early part of the season and obviously loads of injuries. Since the World Cup break, we've scudded Hibs and Aberdeen easily, taken four points from St Mirren and got a draw at Livi. We've gone from fourth and four points behind to four points clear (if Livi win their game in hand). The direction of travel is quite obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Everyone has known for weeks now that Hearts are going to absolutely cruise to third - again. What is that if not being far ahead of your competitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
