Can someone get me a sour straw?
Off the pitch, Hibs are also experiencing an upturn in fortunes thanks to a certain success on the pitch. It may not be as significant as the one sparked by Hearts' impending death, but Hibs' self-inflicted wounds are finally being addressed by our very own Dame. It has been a club of contrasts, where Hearts have experienced a furious rise, fall and recovery whilst Hibs have half-heartedly struggled to avoid sucking the lifeblood out of themselves whilst pissing away any promise & potential.
I will be envious when the stadium improvements are completed; the compact single-tiered stadium should be perfect for amplifying the atmosphere of the crowd. A hint of Hibby jealously pervades; the club ran into their troubles head-on and came out sprinting. We, on the other hand, have repeatedly shot ourselves in the foot whilst putting the other foot in our mouth and tried to stumble forward regardless.
I predict that Hearts will fare better than Aberdeen next season, but will not have enough to challenge the money being poursed into Celtc & StrangerDangers.
And some water for this bitter pill to swallow:
