Still better than a point a game I believe Ivan and that should be close enough to keeping you up.
That has to be the main aim in first year back. Next year is more than time enough for the mighty terrors to mount a meaningful title challenge.
Similar story for us we really should have tried for 10

Our league position belies our entire lack of intent.
We were hindered earlier in the season by our defence giving away cheap goals every single game. He's obviously tried to rectify that by making us as solid as possible defensively, but in doing so he's created the least attacking team I've ever seen. We just don't try to attack. We have no attacking width, and our midfielders either don't want the ball or when they do get it they take the safe (backwards) pass, which then means our defenders hoof it up the park and give the ball away.
We now have two Scotland strikers in our team (Shankland and McNulty) and we have no way of creating chances for them.

So basically what you are saying is Mourinho has taken over the reins at the club?
A more conservative version of Mourinho

You did and failed
Harald Brattbakk was the Celtic saviour.
Rangers died
The end
Dundee United are fifth and i'm not sure we have had a positive article yet
I do believe that's where the idiom dead end come from.
Dead end describes a situation from which there is no escape, a path that ends nowhere, a course of action that does not end in a successful resolution, a dead football club. The term dead end is used in the United States to mean a street that is not a throughway or does not have an outlet. Dead end may be used as a noun or a verb, related terms are dead ends, dead ended, dead ending. The expression dead end first appeared in the 1880s to describe a closed water pipe. By 2012 the term came to be used as an idiom for Rangers Football Club 1872. An idiom is a figure of speech that is a word, group of words or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its literal definition. When used as an adjective before a verb, the term is hyphenated as in dead-end.

Dundee Utd won the Championship last season and we never got a positive article
Eye bleeding stuff on Friday. Thankfully the fog in the second half made it almost impossible to see what was going on, so I was able to concentrate on the moretti I was drinking to numb the pain. Every team seems to break a bad run against us - although we beat County they managed to score their first goal in umpteen hours of football, Friday was St Mirren’s first point for about seven years or something. Who do we have next in the league? Hamilton... Anyway, mon the terrors.
It really is grim at the moment.
Hopefully we choose to actually try attacking tomorrow night
We played some decent stuff against County to be fair, so they obviously have it in them.
Another point gained. Never watched or listened to it, becoming a common thing that.
Anyway the Masters starts on Thursday, I'll be watching that and seeing how Augusta plays in November compared to April.
Few degrees cooler, similar rainfall, no magnolia flowers.

Can't wait.
The thing is, if Mellon was that worried about the defence why did he give Connolly a new two-year deal instead of casting him into the sea?
I didn't see the game but I noticed on the United Twitter that in the 20 minutes McMullan was on he created 3 chances. Likely got a stern talking to about attacking football after the game but it would be nice to see more of him.
