At last!

For the first time that I can remember, The new football season starts in July this year.

A time to forget all the tennis, cricket and such like over the summer weeks and back to the beautiful game. All the transfer speculation, new management changes and rumours finish up here and now. Were back to what this game is. Football.

Hearts have come through a very turbulent time lately and emerged bigger and stronger. That is on paper anyway, tomorrow at 3.00 Rugby Park is where all the talk stops and the fight begins. A fight for a good few players to prove to the new management that they are there on merit, not just a name.

4 new faces on the pitch this term, which hopefully have what it takes to make Hearts a major player in Scottish football. Not the also-rans that have been tagged on the team for the past few seasons.

Hearts have not won a competitive game since April 2nd where we beat Celtic at Parkhead 2-0. That was 9 games before the end of the campaign!

I personally think we will be far far better this season. 5th is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I am hoping for at least a 2nd place finish this season.

So COME ON THE HEARTS!!!
