Last week, Hearts Standard tried to select the best Hearts XI of the 21st century. Joel returns with Scott McIntosh and Mark Donaldson to attempt to pick the most disappointing (or worst) Hearts XI since 2000. The parameter was simple, they had to have played a competitive match for the club since 2000. They could go on talent, they could go on output v expectation or they could mix and match. Understandably, there were a number of names mentioned and it produced a bumper episode.
