Mark Lawrenson has done an AMA on reddit and it is everything you could possibly have hoped it would be, hes miserable, snappy and tries to make jokes that aren't funny

Fingers crossed the next episode leaks so I can send about 40 people early spoilers as recompense for being desperate to show off on social media about how they stay up 'til 4am or whatever to watch the show and just have to make sure they prove it by chucking their attempts and being clever and subtle onto facebook and twitter.

I think he did aye.

Missandei is still around, bless her.

Definitely Clegane.

Cersei does have the scorpions, which we've seen to be effective if they land a hit on a Dragon. I'm expecting at some point is for Daario and the Second Sons to be called upon to bolster the army taking on Cersei, which would mean there are two mercenary companies from Essos in conflict over the throne of Westeros.

NJS is right, that dagger has been around a while! (I have wiki'd this for some details btw) The cutthroat who came to kill off Bran had it, Cat was led to the conclusion that it is Valyrian steel and (through littlefingers bullshit) that Tyrion had put the hit on Bran which caused him to be taken prisoner and the whole war to begin. Cat gives it to Ned just before she does this this and he has it when he tries to arrest Cersei and Joffrey, when littlefinger betrays ned he takes possession of it. Jump then to season 7 and sam discovers that dragonglass and valyrian steel are going to be useful, there is a drawing of the dagger in the book he is reading about it, we're reminded here that it is one of the few valyrian steel weapons not lost.

There wasn't a mid/post credits scene, you needn't have waited. Agree about Thor, as one of the few people who liked the first two Thor films as well as Ragnarok I'm disappointed that he now seems to be just a comedy character.

Between Endgame and this I have had some very stressful/enjoyable evenings over this last couple of days.

Yes it was

Rafa will do his job like a professional and try to get a result for Newcastle 'cause that is what he does. He doesn't want to destroy Liverpools title hopes (why on earth would he?) he loves that club and that city. There is always a chance, Rafa seems to have figured out how to get the best chance of a result against Peps City even if it doesn't always come to pass in the final result we tend fare better than most against you, not sure if he's done that with Klopps liverpool yet last time we played them they put four past us.

Is it any good? I never played Online as the client was absolute shite. I used to play a lot in college/university and then dropped off but picked up again lately as Mrs A asked me to teach her how to play so now we're both down the rabbit hole and have less money than we used to.

I've just had a look (its a quiet day in the office) it was sent and made it to riverrun and was sent on to winterfell, but then Theon had his great idea to take winterfell and we never find out (in book or show apparently) if Neds body ever makes it there. So if we are doing the whole "dead starks rise from their graves" thing then he probably will appear.

Am I forgetting something? He was beheaded as a traitor in kings landing, was he delivered back to winterfell at some point?

Most of the Starks we've seen aren't there, probably only Rickon made it to a proper grave considering the circumstances of their deaths but even he fell in the middle of a battle field and was run over by a cavalry charge...so maybe not. I think the crypts thing will have to be a double bluff of some sort, or will play out differently than we may expect, its too obvious otherwise.

Because if you've been following the characters for 7+ seasons and think nothing happened in the last two episodes I don't really understand what you've been getting out of the show I suppose. This is not specifically calling you out btw as I've seen it all over the internet so far but the fact people have a problem with Arya having some fairly un-graphic consensual sex when almost every other female character in the series has been raped at some point is quite odd.

I've been enjoying it, both episodes have been full of good, important character moments. Next week the action kicks off, some well liked characters will fall for sure. If the threat of the dead is done by the end of next week, which I doubt as GoT is rarely that cut and dried then the question of the throne and who else is going to fall, which sides certain characters will fall into when we're back to people fighting people and who that will put them at odds with will be good to watch as well. Surprised you've managed to make to make it 8 seasons in with takes like that Renton.

That permanent contract looking better and better for Ole

I mean, our boots isn't that nice but we have...er...some nice old stuff.

Take any pictures?

We took a trip out to Mount Sunday yesterday, two and a half hours drive, an hour or so on the loosest gravel track I've seen in my life (which was a great deal of fun to drive on) to get out to the walking track. This place is where Edoras was built and shot in Lord of the Rings, its absolutely stunning.

It definitely hit his arm before his hip and going in but I think it would've been harsh to rule it out as thats not all there is to the law. Clear and obvious error and all that. If the law needs changing to make that more clear cut it isn't VARs fault, same for the offside, KDs right to say the offisde laws fucked too, we've all known that for years though. (though he and I have a different definition of skimming a player considering the hit off bernardo made the ball loop up into the air rather than barely changing its path)

Is it? Didn't VAR get two huge, tie/competition changing decisions right during the game?
