Well written as always, Matty :aok:

Another interesting thing to note about St. Johnstone in 2007 was that they were in their 5th season of being in the old First Division after being relegated in 2002. Since being promoted in 2009 they have finished 8th, 8th, 6th, 3rd, 6th and 4th in the SPL - they have also qualified for Europe the last four years in a row, and obviously won the Scottish Cup in 2014.

Whilst I obviously want Hibs to go up more than anything this year, I think St. Johnstone's time down there has shown that a third year for Hibs wouldn't be an unmitigated disaster.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Stevie, I think the one saving grace - if there is one - if we don't go up is that we would be almost certain to go up as champions the following season. I'm convinced that we'll go up this season though.

Bigwheel - the 1-0 was indeed the 81% game. I don't think I've ever seen us dominate Hearts in a game like we did that night - with the exception of the 6-2 game, probably. We were brilliant that night, absolutely brilliant. If it had been 5 or 6 nil the Yams wouldn't have been able to complain.

Good work.
Just one point. I've read in several places that "at one point we were 11 points behind Rangers".

Before the draw with Falkirk Hibs had dropped points in only 3 games - defeats to Dumbarton and Rangers and a draw with St M. That's 8 points. Where does the 11 point lead come from?

Think we had a game in hand for a bit did we not?
