So you think we have a 20 goal striker and a 10-15 goal striker in the Premier League? Plus 6 4+ goal midfielders. Maybe it's not a dose of optimism you've had right enough. Well here’s the goals and assists stats from this season: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/heart-of-midlothian/top-scorers In a short 27 game season we’ve scored 63 goals. Or have I just made these stats up would you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitonastranger Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 2 hours ago, A_A wehatethehibs said: Although some are not yet convinced, I’ve seen enough of him to know why he was liked at blackpool You know when pundits insightfully say, “you need a guy who’ll get you a goal” ? He is that guy. The type who may not be the top scorer but the goals he scores are important ones. Something different to unlock the door in a tight game against a tough defensive unit. I back him to get to 10 to 15 goals next season. So if boycie could get to that dream number of 20 and others GMS, Walker, Gino, Mceneff, Naismith, Haring etc could all chip in with 4 or 5 each, we could be in a really seriously good position depending on who we can get to marshal things alongside Haring and Souttar... Keep the door shut at the back and we could be a potential cat among pigeons next season. Great post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Big Gnando is alright. Still unproven but he wasn't even 100% and still did OK. I think he'll be well decent next season now he's settled and got a pre season under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Herbertson Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I was busking with a pal in Blackpool many years ago. Saw a bloke selling socks at three for a pound and was about to buy some. My pal was a streetwise market trader and knew the fellow. He advised me not to, as none of the socks would have toes. "Why does he sell them like that?" I said and my pal replied "Because he can". The laughing clown at the funfair is laughing for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboozy Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Francis Albert said: The thread reminds me of the days when before the Terrace and Shed were split and discussion could move seamlessly between football and almost anything else. But to bring the two together, when I used to have an ST at the Emirates, rushing to a game after work, I often picked up a bite to eat on the way at Greggs, the last takeaway before you turned off Holloway Road for the ground. The food was a vast improvement on what was served at the stadium, or indeed is served from the concourses at Tynie. A Greggs concession would do well at many football grounds. Is there one anywhere - I guess St James Park is the likeliest venue. That’s not a bad shout FA, Hearts should rent out concessions to more popular eateries, would make a mint on match days, maybe not so much on classical music gigs🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benidorm's whatever you want it to be. It's a big town and whatever you don't want any part of, Union Jack clad English, Celtic fans in their fitba taps, is easily avoided. We went about 5 times on the bounce around a decade ago and loved it. Edit: not allowed in Greggs anymore, Harry. I've went from my usual 13st up to 14st In the last year and her indoors has got me on a diet/health kick.

Beneath its fake superficial glitz Vegas is a modern day Blackpool. In fact Blackpool is at least more honestly tacky. IMO of course, maybe clouded by the fact that on my last visit to Vegas I shared a hotel on the Strip with the North American Celtic Supporters Club holding their annual convention. If you want to insult Blackpool you could say they brought a taste of Blackpool to Vegas but they certainly looked at home there. I feel your pain brother. In all honesty though, I, and my mates, normally frequented the nine fine Irish men bar in New York New York. Usually full of american/Irish freedom fighting lovers. It was piss easy to wind them up and, as for the Vegas fun part, like shooting fish in a barrel. As for Blackpool, I have nothing to add. Apart from the fact that I once met big Fergie at the January pigeon sales there. And,he didn't punch me in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
