Could the yams do a Leicester?

[G B Young]

Mediocre mid-table team becomes flash-in-the-pan champions of England.

Could such a scenario be repeated in Scotland?

With Celtic having failed to strengthen, the Rangers a work in progress under Gerrard and ourselves and Aberdeen blowing hot and cold so far the league presently looks a lot less 'unwinnable'.

I find it hard to imagine that by parachuting in a new squad of players the yams have suddenly turned from non-runners into league contenders but they've certainly made a strong start.

Hopefully they'll start to fall away shortly and who knows, once we've got our strongest team playing consistently we can start to have a say in the title race ourselves.

**** off with that chat after 5 games

[bawheid]

I’ll end this now. No.

[Glory Lurker]

Just what are they up to?

[Austinho]

Their knees in f***** blood apparently.

I know. Two threads about hearts less than an hour after a big win for hibs. I think I might take the night off tonight if this is what we’re going to be getting.

[TheHarpy76]

They’ve had a great start to the season. That can’t be denied.

The ****fest over them is getting a little nauseating though tbh.

[Pretty Boy]

If they are still top after the January window I'll start to get concerned. As it is now they have had a very good start and nothing more.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Genuinely not arsed, they're annoying anyway, as long as we win derbies and we finnish well in the league i don't care what they're up to.

This!

[Hiber-nation]

I don't even know any hearts fans who think they can win the league.

Brutal thread.

[Not In The Know]

The fact someone even titles a thread with this is systemic of the utter guff the media peddles about that lot.

They beat Celtic. Well done. Apart from that all games they should’ve won anyway Motherwell are not nearly as good as last year.

[lyonhibs]

**** sake. What is this chat??

No. No Hearts will not win the league ffs. Easily Celtic's league again.

While I don’t think the yams stand a chance, it’s certainly not a stick on that Celtic will win the league.

They've got off to a great start there is no doubt about that, 5 out of 5 wins, fair play that's pretty good and if it was us we'd be delighted as well but leagues are not won in September and if you listen to some of the yams you'd think the title was sewn up already. I'm happy for now listening to their bravado and cockiness. I work with a bunch of them and believe me they are VERY confident and giving it the big un about how we are in for a doing etc etc.

As I say, just let them do their talking. It wont be the first time they've bigged themselves up only to fall flat on their faces. If anything I quite enjoy when they start to get cocky because it just makes it all the funnier when the bubble bursts.

To answer the original question, do I think they will "do a Leicester"? No don't in all honesty. I think they will have a good season unfortunately and probably finish 3rd or maybe even 2nd but over the course of the season I think Celtic will have more in their locker. If they are going to do it though, this season is a rare perfect opportunity because Celtic are a much weaker side than last year IMO, the huns are still a working progress and us and Aberdeen are pretty inconsistent and drop silly points left, right and center.

Come the end of the season they’ll be fighting it out for 4th/5th/6th.

Not so sure about that TBH...seems like another decent signing today. They won't win the league but they aren't gonna fall away neither imo...they have improved greatly on last season. Still hope we hump them in Oct but we need to get our strongest 11 firing on all cylinders by then

THREAD CLOSED

[DickieDastardly]

No chance.

Made the most of the good fortune that’s come their way to date, Killie sending off, goal gifted today.
Main issue is the gap between them and us and the fact the first derby is at tin pot castle where we have a dreadful record.

[bingo70]

We win next week and they lose they’re only 4 points ahead of us and they’ve had the best ever start to a season any team ever in world football has ever known while we’ve had a pretty sluggish start to the season.

It’s two big ‘ifs’ as they’ve got a pretty easy game next week while we’ve got a tricky away trip but it does just show how early in the season we are.

[lord bunberry]

**** off.

[CathroMustStay]

No chance!

Celtic will win the league by 10-15 points.

Sadly they have a good chance of finishing above us, but it's FAR TOO EARLY.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Nae chance. Fair play to them for making a positive start, but no chance of the title. Celtic will win the league very comfortably.

[heretoday]

Celtic will get their act together eventually and start putting pressure on the Jams. Meanwhile we're heading for a helluva derby match next time.
