How many stars have Hearts been allocated in FIFA 21?

Think the PS5 will still comfortably outsell the Xbox. I cannot see Microsoft making the likes of Elder Scrolls or Fallout now exclusively Xbox - the fallout would be massive for them and they'd lose more money than they'd gain from such a move plus damage the hard-earned rep of those games. I can see it getting slotted into the Game Pass with an exclusive 3-6 month window at launch as well, with the rest of us paying £70 odd (no complaints). The implications of Bethesda deal are also still a good 2-3 years away from being known (i.e. once the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout is released) and by then I can see the cheaper version of the Xbox being down in the £100s. If it is indeed an exclusive and I am desperate to play the game, I will simply pick up the cheaper Xbox as well.

World class player, total cock/miraculously underperforming manager.

Gogic getting (rightly so) a lot of plaudits for shoring up our defence and adding much-needed steel, but Paul McGinn should carry equal credit. PMcG has been absolutely outstanding so far - he is a classy player, very calm and composed, and is capable of moments of real class (like sending Tav to the cleaners at c.80 minutes yesterday). Two brilliant bits of business by us in addition to Nisbett and Wright who also look like shrewd acquisitions. Porto - no words. We love you, you love us, we both hate Sevco. No more needs to be said. Sevco's reaction yesterday is exactly why Celtic will get their 10 IAR this season, and the meltdown from Govin may be on a scale never seen before.

Pre-ordered PS5 from Argos (standard edition) and have got an OLED 4K TV on the way with an HDMI 2.1 cable too. Eye-watering on the credit card and will take a while to pay off, but thinking since we will be on COVID lockdown again soon, may as well go full bhuna on the entertainment for what will be a long and really pish winter ahead...bring it on!

Deserved 3 points for Aberdeen, we were good for the first 25 and then fell out of it massively. Unfortunately, McCrorie looks like some player and exactly what we needed. Missed Gogic badly as our midfield was soft as ****. We also need Nisbet back, Doidge struggled up front on his own against those big physical defenders, so our attack was non-existent. Only kudos from me goes to our defence - they did a good job but Boyle sold them down the river. A reality-check which was always on the cards. However, we are 2-3 players away from being a very good side.

Gogic a huge miss today against McInnes' hammer-throwers. We needed him today for the inevitable physical battle. To think we are essentially getting punished for a false positive, yet the Aberdeen 8 have managed to avoid any form of repercussion whatsoever after 2 players tested positive. Laughable really.

Absolutely delighted. When he is on song (which is more often than not these days) he is without a doubt our most dangerous player. Aside from his contributions on the pitch, sounds like he is a really central figure in the dressing room and brilliant for morale. He gets the club and is exactly the kind of player we should always aim to attract and keep. Now he has security for the next 3 years, will be kept in the spotlight for his Australia caps (which will hopefully include Copa America and World Cup caps for him) and can be an integral part of our upward trajectory. Ron the Con really is fleecing us eh?

Greatest player ever to grace the game. Hope he ends up at a club worthy of his name (so PSG, Inter Miami et al can get to ****). Part of me would love to see him at Juve, as the thought of him at Cristiano Ronaldo combining powers is incredible. Failing that, really hope he ends up in the English Premier League so I can go see him play. It is a crying shame what has happened to him at Barcelona - was written in the stars that he would be the most famous of all one-club players, but the club have nobody else other than themselves to blame for this. Messi deserves to go out on a high and Barca will just tarnish his reputation due to the massive mess throughout the club.

Our unrelenting march to stopping 10 IAR continues.

Looking forward to this - hard one to call. Like the look of McCann, O'Halloran and Kerr for St J, but looking at the line-ups, think we will have enough to pick up the three points IF we show up (we haven't for the past 2 games). Going to go for 2-0 Hibs. Doidge and Allan.

You're in the wrong forum. Away to the Championship chit chat you donkey.

Livi were excellent at home last season, but do fear for them today on the basis of what I saw in our game a week ago. Sincerely hope I am wrong.

Ahh Alfredo! I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit...or your body?

His worst since Heckingbottom left. Under Jack Ross, he has generally been a class act in CM - very intelligent footballer with a bit of dig. Just an off day today.

I am absolutely livid about Bolingoli, especially after what happened with Aberdeen. Complete and utter idiot. He should be given a 20-match ban and Celtic made to forfeit any matches they fail to play as a result of delayed (therefore forfeited) fixtures. Would hate for it to get to this stage, but it is a complete and utter pisstake which is really making our game look shockingly amateur whilst threatening its very survival. Point deductions and lengthy personal bans are the only way these spoiled clowns will learn.

We are stronger and much more balanced than last season. Dundee United the same as last season. Going for 3-1 Hibs. We look the business. Being able to bench Scott Allan and not have Stevie Mallan in the squad (injured) shows we have great depth in this team.

What an absolute belter of a first game. Best of luck to James McPake - they hate him and Dundee FC to tragic levels, so this has all the ingredients to be very, very tasty. Dundee FC have become to Hearts what we were to Sevco 2012 in the heart of the banter years. Good lads. 2-1 Dundee.

Well done to the admins for rightly relegating expelling this thread to the Championship forum.

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/scottish-football-fans-face-wait-hearts-bbc-documentary-2928920 To allow for proclamations of a glorious, devastating and sweeping return to the Premiership in a season which was cut short due to the sheer power of Heart of Midlothian. Revenge of the highest order. If Hearts are now editing it, change the title of this to Inside North Korea.

Worthy of a thread of its own. The recent self-inflicted grave misfortunes and actions of Heart of Midlothian Football Club will be unveiled to all in an intimate, all-areas documentary which is a complete and utter sure-thing to be nothing other than unfettered, unrelenting TV Gold. "Inside Tynecastle will be screened on BBC Scotland, and aims to explore the ups and downs of the 2019/20 season. Taking a fly-on-the-wall look at the inner workings of the storied Midlothian side, Inside Tynecastle will grapple with the daily challenges of running a top flight Scottish football team in the modern age. In particular, it will tell the story of the tumultuous 2019/20 season so far." https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/inside-tynecastle-what-new-hearts-documentary-about-and-when-it-tv-1370338 Quite simply lads, this has the potential to out-gun the Tiger King. Enjoy.

Absolute belter. They have reached complete and utter collective meltdown stage.
