Today was apparently our last pre-season friendly. So with seven days to go, what's everyone's predictions for how this season will go?

 

I think we'll be third, but hopefully not miles off the top two. I think back to the 1997/98 season when 10-in-a-row was the pre-season talk, and Hearts managed to get themselves in about it. They trailed off by the end but at least made a fist of it and won a cup. Would like to think Aberdeen could at least do the same - but don't for a minute think we have enough in us to actually win the thing. The empty stadiums might be a leveller though - and we're at Parkhead early on.

By default we should be stronger. We've only really lost Greg Leigh, and Jonny Hayes is an upgrade. McKenna or Cosgrove leaving could change things I suppose.

So many players last season were not fully fit - Ojo, Bryson, McGeouch. Kennedy took a while to settle. Hernandez obviously too. All of them this season should be in better shape. It's a bit of a cliche but Bryson and Hernandez are essentially new signings considering how little they played last season. Anderson too in a way.

I also have a funny feeling we might finally see off our Celtic Hampden hoodoo and take them in the semi. 

Europe - no idea, luck of the draw. 

But yeh, I'm optimistic. Too optimistic probably.

Hibs to be fourth. Can't see Motherwell being as strong this season. Ross County and St Mirren could be surprises. I actually think Dundee United could be in relegation trouble.

You’re a weirdo alright. I’m taking no advice from you.

The case is closed.

Get out of that, comedian?

He will screenshot it if you don't.

I have never come across any of these three children in the past, not that I remember. We should be flattered and honoured that they seek to target us. Fucking arseholes. 

Our lives followed very different paths. But there was a time when we were free as the wind. I remember your excitement at Milne's takeover and the hope it brought. With age comes the burden of responsibility. But there was a time when we could have done anything. We could have moved mountains, brother. We could have been heroes.
