Dundee are a materially better team than the mini Huns and we’re at home. They haven’t won on Gods turf since 2014 and that’s not changing on Sunday.

I just wish that wee nasal was still at the helm and it was this massacre that got him punted, ideally with Rob Milson in the stand..

That was a shocking "tackle".Milsom out for months?

[TerryMcDermott]

We’ve looked fantastic…..in spells……need a whole game playing like that. Sunday has to be the day. Turn them over.

One relegation ago when Cameron resigned,  2 when he took office.

In. 0v0. Hearts will click into anti-football gear.

[Dandys1983]

We will beat them was more concerned about Dundee, Simmie tribute, full house only one result here, unbeaten as we go to Celtic Park! 

[Red Clive 1995]

They’ve put 5 past us twice in 15 years. Let’s aim to do similar to our opponents on Sunday.

Hopefully we win this match to continue our 100% start to the season. (And to put Shart of Fartlothian / Fartz in their rightful place)

[Reed or deed]

This could be a tough game as they will be extra motivated to turn us over given the circumstances.

Nothing less than a professional performace where we take our chances please.

Finally the “hard” games begin. 
 

Starting with the team bottom of the league, with 2 points, who got knocked out the league cup by Falkirk 

Yeah apparently so. According to the media despite us beating over half the league already the real tests only start now against Hearts...who have already been conclusively beaten this season by Dundee, Motherwell & St Mirren....3 clubs we have already beaten this season. 

Scottish media logic eh? Gotta love it. 

 

[Tord31]

Weve still a lot of tickets to shift but confident of a sell out or damn near a sell out.

Step up the PR efforts this week.

[HaarDon]

At this rate it'll be...

Still loads in RDS Upper, long time to go though.

Buy now to avoid disappointment.

Worth remembering Hearts are playing Dinamo Minsk in Baku on Thursday night.

A 5 hour flight there and back.

Hopefully they get the run around.

I think it’s pretty reasonable to say that our next 4 or 5 fixtures are tougher than we have already faced this season.

If I did we’d have 30,000 at Pittodrie every week

If he doesn't then he should. 

Spends so much time talking about tickets he might as well get paid for it

That means nothing as far as i am concerned.

Can’t see Jimmy using that as any sort of strategy element either.

Not sure Hearts & United at home is currently tougher than Motherwell at home or Dundee away. But the fact we face the Glasgow two in October certainly makes October our toughest month of the season.

Far too much exuberance being displayed here chaps. Let's stay grounded. Some might say, humble.

Love Oasis btw!

Fuck that. If you can’t get excited about this, then give up.

Excitement is one thing. Over confidence quite the other.

They are flying straight into the airport at Dyce from Azerbaijan so they will have no excuses

[milne_afc]

There’s not a shred of “over confidence” on this page. Wheesht 

[ERNIE]

This is the kind of game historically we lose

Sell out crowd..unbeaten in 6 months Hearts on a downer..but .this time it's gonna be different..

I’d hope he does.  Up against a team who may well be jaded/ fatigued I’d expect us to try to exploit that with high tempo and urgency from the kick off.

I would expect that anyway tbh.

Assuming an opponent is going to be below their best is just daft.

Hearts have a very big squad of similar level players so they should be able to field a team that isn't jaded. It's no excuse when you have a huge squad like they do they should easily be able to field a minimum 6 or 7 outfield players at Pittodrie who didn't play in Minsk.

They dont have many options to change things at the back or up front? 

Keeper and midfield they look to have plenty options
