It makes things worse for Hibs that Aberdeen have improved so much and Hearts are having a shocker of a start but we are only 3 points ahead and could be on equal points and or below them after the derby.
They’ll discuss it in full looking at every angle on Sportscence this evening!Quote:

If we can get it right, we can take all 3 points from Dundee Utd which would give us a significant lift for the derby.Quote:

The only thing we do with any urgency is sack managers and marketing to fans.

One time the Sevilla manager (Juande Ramos) had a bottle of wine thrown over his head at a game. The bottle was frozen as well. :eek:
This one tame so far.
Aberdeen's turnaround has been especially rapid (although they did finish last season quite strongly despite bring bottom six). 13 straight wins is impressive. United look uo have come back better prepared this time round.Quote:

Aye but are they sheite to watch, or foul players when they are breaking and strangling the life out of games, if so we want none of that pish at Easter Rd.Quote:
