Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER
Andrew replied to Sonatine's topic in Newcastle Forum
Reportedly 600 tickets bought by chelsea fans and 3000 by arsenals out of an allocation of 6k each for the europa league final. 68k seater stadium mostly filled with corporates, its a test run for the Qatar world cup! -
Theres no way he wanted to tbh, I'd be surprised if (in an imaginary epilogue) he ever actually went back to the wall after passing beyond it anyway.
-
One would guess the fact that she was missing rather than a corpse on the floor lead to some confusion perhaps? I was gearing up for Jon vs Greyworm though, that mightve been fun.
-
Enjoyed that well enough, last episodes of shows that know they are the last episode are always a bit odd. Opening half was fantastically tense, some artistic licence taken on plot points but not any I really care about.
-
Derby or Villa along with Sheffield and Norwich then. Hardly inspiring but then, look at the table there aren't any particularly interesting teams in the championship anyway at the moment
-
We literally saw them embrace as the entire building came down on them. They dead. Cersei was never predicted to be killed by her brother in the show, only that her children would die. Arya killed fuckin' loads of people since then, brown and green didn't matter, it was blue that mattered. Dany has had none made of her that I know of. Azor Ahai is the prince that was promised and we still don't know who that may be or what that prophecy means as the Night King is not named in it, only that "Darkness will flee before them".

One of those letters gets to the Citadel imo.
-
Depends if a Baratheon is considered as such, there are those who feel that the targaryen family are the only rightful heirs and that the baratheons were usurpers
-
Yes! This hasn't had enough appreciation in here today, what a fucking great character he's been.
-
Seemed to have that explosive property against ships in the past and it definitely blew up the lannister lines last season. I think Sansa may end up with it by virtue of being the only established noble who can actually take it and would accept it, she has the right people looking at her, Tyrion as hand(husband?) Brienne as kings guard etc.
-
I'm going to delete my post from 45 minutes or so ago.

Wonder if they'll venture into that stuff more in the spin offs? There have been a few rumoured and some canned (no one will say which though) The Long Night, Roberts Rebellion and Dunc and Egg being the ones I have heard of.
-
btw this is brilliant, literally every other place I've seen GoT comments is just people fucking whining constantly.
-
Well, yeah.
-
They aren't guns though, the projectiles are slower for a start. That worked well for the ship ones, once she was in the walls there was a good shot of how they aimed the wall mounted ones and I don't think they could turn all the way round, they had three guys hanging off the back to tilt and turn it on a lower platform that didn't look like it went all the way round the thing
-
an unaware and already injured dragon. Like I said just up there, no scorpion has ever actually hit a Dragon that knew they were coming.
-
I figured that the Scorpallistas were useless.
-
She still had a keep they couldn't enter (that she never seemed to leave), the mountain by her side and the actual army loyal to the crown
-
I guess the justification could be that a scorpion has never actually hit a Dragon who knew it was there? The kings guard getting swatted by the hound was one of my favourite small moments, a little reminder that the guy is awesome before he takes on the Mountain. Clegane-bowl didn't disappoint either, good shit.
-
That is a good point, think the rest of my post rings true though.
-
Do the people know that it was her that blew up the sept? There was no one to oppose her in the capital after that, no one to spread that message. Her power grab at that point was absolute and part of the point of the show is that, for the most part, the people on the street are just shitty, ordinary people who don't really give a bollocks about who sits on the throne. Like we saw yesterday, being on the "good guys" army doesn't make you any different to the other armies really, they still raped and pillaged and murdered there way through the capital like every other army has done in the past, Roberts Rebellions forces did the same, without a dragon obviously so they didn't just destroy the city but the people were the same.
-
Hes been a conflicted man since first meeting her(give or take a bit), especially after he lost his hand. We've seen him swing wildly back and forth between whats right and his loyalty/love for Cersei time and time again, no one should be surprised that it happened one more time and this time it got him killed but right up until it definitely got him killed he at least thought that he could save her, if not himself after the fight with Euron.
-
Do you reckon? Jaime is definitely a bellend but hes always been a bellend, his decision making has been universally terrible (from an objective standpoint) since the very start. When it comes to it, those two dying together, standing for nothing other than being together is about the right resolution imo. I did love that the fear and vulnerability in Cersei right towards the end led to her seeming more human than she ever has right as she died, the first time shes ever really given a shit about anyone else (even caring about her kids was from a selfish point of view) was caring that Jaime was hurt.
-
Cersei and Jaime had a castle fall on them, they're dead, the mountain is dead too. Cerseis prophecy (in the show) finished when Tommen died, Aryas finished when she killed the NK(assuming we're talking the one Mel made about eyes) and Dany doesn't have one does she?
