1) Real Name

Chris McPherson

2) Web Username

Chris____7

3) Favourite Internet Forum

Empire Online-eh, I mean, HeartsMad of course!

4) How long have you supported Hearts?

12 years

5) Who is your favourite current player?

Dennis Wyness and Patrick Kisnorbo

6) Who is your all-time favourite player?

I'm tempted to say....Dave McPherson? Always have a soft spot for Neil McCann and Jim Hamilton as well.

7) What is the best match you have attended?

Few stick in the memory. Notably, Rangers 4-3 Hearts - 1996 Coca Cola Cup Final, Hearts 3-1 Braga, and the cup final!

8) And the worst match?

Hearts 0-0 Livingston, this year for utter boringness. Feeling wise, 1-5 cup final, 96.

9) Which team do you dislike the most?

Rangers

10) How often do you attend games?

Every home game, and whenever I can get to the away games.

11) Who is the most famous person you have met? (football related)

Eehhhm, Johan Cruyff, Eric Cantona, Alex Ferguson, Roy Keane, Vladimir Romanov. :D

12) Who is the most famous person you have met? (non football)

Bruce Springsteen

13) Who is the player who you dislike the most?

Derek Riordan. Unless we sign him.

14) Which is your favourite away ground?

Can I say Murrayfield? If not, Tannadice.

15) And your least favourite?

Dens Park.

16) Do you attend International matches?

No.

17) Will the Lithuanian influence help or Hinder Hearts?

Hopefully help Hearts. See what I did there? Now we just need to sign Peter Pepper...In all seriousness, it can't hurt. We're getting quality players via Kaunas, with the money to re-sign who we want.

18) Do you think Mr Romanov will be true to his word?

Well, he seems the sort of man who will stick it out, and make sure everything works out the right way.

19) Will Robbo be our manager next season?

Don't think so. His enthusiasm and passion for Hearts is what we need, but his attitude needs looked at, or he'll run into trouble.

20) It was said recently that Hearts are a non-selling club anymore. Do you believe this?

I think the Paul Hartley situation confirmed this. In times past, he would have been away as soon as rumours of a bid came in. But now, with our new investor, and the guarantee of probably the same opportunities (financially) and perhaps in a few years time, opportunities on a footballing scale (European-wise), players like Paul won't be tempted by the smell of money and Buckfast from the west!
