Putin's head: The desperate wee man has even waited until old Betty was finally planted in order to make his latest grand announcement, because he knows the global media is finally finished with that obsession and will go back to indulging his attention seeking.

Was 2014/15 no the season we were about 400 points ahead of Hibs and everyone else, but they were apparently the better side just because the derbies were even games for once after years of them being pumped senseless?

What an absolute pearler.

Hyperdales, m8.

Something something, it's the vaxx, something something.

Hit the woodwork three times... Doesn't really matter who the net tender is if you can't get the baw on target, m8. Taught a lesson in clinical football and how to carve out real quality goals despite playing in Europe a few days before. Clark has been a solid keeper for St Johnstone who have regularly performed well in the Premiership throughout his career. A more than good enough deputy to Scotland's number one. Clearly, they peppered our goal fewer times than we peppered theirs, given they had fewer shots on target.

Livi just always seem to give teams a game at home, not least the Old Firm. You have certainly started well at home this season. As for Neilson, he needs to win something at Hearts to be remembered in the same bracket as Jefferies and Sergio.

What an absolute riddy Russia is.

It's all very interesting and entertaining IMO.

You were quite literally suggesting he was a lesser player than this Campbell diddy, and inventing some Scottish Haaland mythology.

Auld Betty leaving one final gift for the Establishment Club, imho.

Rolling about the lower leagues? That season when nobody attended games anywhere anyway and we pished it at a canter regardless? It must be a dull yin that since folk have finally been back at the fitba the Hertz have been miles ahead of 'the rest'. Thinking this is patter, btw. It was brought up because some Aberdeen boi was going on about Simms. Hibs and Aberdeen fans have a weird obsession with Shankland. Can't think why...

We downed tools and chopped and changed things when third place and the cup final were already in the bag. Would have picked up more points if they were required.

So that very good player that err... plays for us. What if Boyle never failed in Saudi Arabia and came back with his tail between his legs? The gap was so big last season that it wouldn't have mattered who was in nets. Zander Clark would also be more than good enough this season. Motherwell had fewer shots on target than us anyway. Wonder what myths will help the Hibs bois sleep better when they see the quality of those two goals.

It's hilarious how this turned into an absolute nothing burger and simply disappeared from the media. The Crazies will be gutted. Not to worry, the number of people getting a cold will soon be on the rise again! Shame for them we won't be altering normal human behaviours this time, though.

October will be our most difficult month of the season. We arrested our dip in form at just the right time. In hindsight, due to Livi's home record, arguably the only shocker we had was Killie at home in the League Cup, but it was always going to be our fourth and lowest priority anyway. Another run in the Scottish Cup would be nice, but by far the most important thing we can do this season is to wrap up third place again. I can't see anyone outside of the Old Firm winning either of the cups, though again we'd be the most likely.

Nobody is triggered, bud. Shankland is another reason why we will finish third comfortably again. Josh Campbell is another reason why Hibs won't. The Hibs bois are never on Hertz threads.

Our second and third goals, btw. That's why we'll finish third again.

Well, Istanbul are up at the top of the Turkish league, are full of quality at least a level or two above our standard, and are seasoned in Europe in recent years. So yes. We were miles ahead of Aberdeen and Hibs last year at every point. Simms signed at the end of January, when you were also nowhere near us. Shankland already has a better scoring ratio than him. Aberdeen and Hibs have only been picking up points against nine and ten men so far this season, and are below St Mirren and Livi. Not really, we've just been a bigger deal than the two other clubs in this thread throughout my lifetime, bud. Hearts will be a pretty comfortable third again. It's not really an outlandish thing to say.

Sportscene giving the game a full five minutes. Great stuff.

Hearts are shite if we're compared to the English Premier League sides we all watch on the box every weekend. As it is, though, we're the third best side in Scotland by a fair distance and will finish as such fairly comfortably again, despite our schedule in the first half of the season.

If we're still third come the break for the World Cup, we'll be 10+ points clear again by the end of the season.

It kind of was, though.
