Over the last 30 years Hearts have: 1. outspent Hibs (with money they didn't have) and 2. been able to develop a winning mentality in derbies, (partly due to the bounceback and the subsequent traction from the 7-0 humiliation).
These factors now no longer apply.
I'm not suggesting we are necessarily going to win the replay, but I am emphatically stating that their days of cheap victories against us are most definitely over. We are now in an era where they will really have to work hard for every victory or even draw against us. That's something we couldn't always say in the past.

Spot on.
Today actually carried over from last season when Neilson seemed scared of us. They know this is a different Hibs now and they don't like it.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I would have preferred it if they didn't have £1.5m to spend. After years of financial profligacy and their inevitable fall from grace, it's about time they had a good long spell of playing second fiddle to Edinburgh's finest.

Let's all calm down. Great last 30 minutes but I don't know if this is a seismic shift in the landscape just yet.

I would say, from last year, and today that hibs are no longer rollovers in a derby.
