The Worm Has Turned

[Pretty Boy]

In days gone by Hearts went into a derby expecting to win. They won their battles and more often than not snatched a win from a draw or a draw from a defeat.

Now? They look like all the pressure is on them to get a result and it shows. Hibs turn up, scrap for everything, win the battles, fly into challenges and expect to get something.

You can see that from players through management and to fans they hate the game now. They hated the fact we outfought them, hared us having a party on their patch and had no answer for it. Let's finish the job a week on Wednesday.

Finishing the job is key.

One of the best posts I have ever read on here. Totally spot on. We are now the boss and they know it.

It's NOT the case that the 'worm has turned' - it's quite simply the fact that Hearts just cannot cope with the 'Level playing-field'.

Long gone are their days of winning derbies financially !
