The Fish

They weren't on the beach against Watford. I know they lost, but they were trying Spurs may be demoralised, and down to bones, but I'm still not convinced we have enough to get all 3pts. Mostly I'm expecting Villa to get a draw and final day's result be immaterial.

Fuck that! This is the universe telling you that you can do what you like without fear of repercussion. You're Teflon mate!

Trouble is, I think we'll need to win them both and if I'm honest, I can see us fucking up at Villa park.

Long fucking flight this like.

It's mentioned a lot in the book that while the Wall side of Castle Black is nigh impenetrable, the south side isn't well guarded at all. The Wildlings are now south of the wall because Snow knew that they would be massacred by the White Walkers and thus become part of the White Walker's army. Less the enemy of my enemy is my friend, more, the corpses of my enemy join my enemy's enemy as a legion of undead cannon fodder. The last book has Jon Snow being stabbed to death. While everybody expects him to be resurrected it hadn't been made clear in the books if he was or wasn't. In this world, resurrection seems comparatively common. I can think of 5 characters brought back from the dead with varying degrees of success. Shame that it looks unlikely that she'll be part of the tv show as Lady Stoneheart could have been an interesting character.

I don't think benfathers45 has got the hang of this yet.

Confused on that myself. There were reports that they'd talked with Gorging George about the future of the stories, but they also said the show wouldn't necessarily follow the same course as the books. If you've not read the books I can tell you the show has already killed off character who're very much still alive and, as yet, not introduced characters who've; been introduced, been integral to certain plot points and been killed themselves.

Ohhhh sure, but don't ask him about a major news story in the North East, he'll take the hump.

You do. If you could, that'd be great ta.

I'm just not as reactionary as you lot.

Only 5 players have scored more than Jermaine Defoe and sunderland are below us in the league. We've a better goals For per Game than 7 teams We've a better goals Against per Game than 1 team. That says to me that if we brought the number of goals conceded closer to the average for the league, we'd not be in a relegation scrap.

1-1 Their fans would like nothing more than to relegate us again.

I've read people stating with some confidence that Bookies won't be posting odds of 5,000/1 on any clubs again. Now am I missing something or is that just fucking nonsense? The amount of money they've made on none of the usual favourites winning, the comparatively small number of people actually betting on Leicester to win, the amount of people that will now bet on rank outsiders because they think that this impossible season will happen again etc.?

Can just imagine you in your Mindy Project jimjams, bellowing into the night sky as the jets disappear into the distance "Hey! I thought I told you 'NEGATIVE GHOSTRIDER THE PATTERN IS FULL!' ??" They yet disclosed why the Air France was off course and unresponsive?

What was it in the end?

Went a bit quiet when I showed how often the team with the worst defence goes down.

CT reckons we need a striker.

Didn't we have an English manager for the majority of this season? This season where we've been in the familiar position of top of the injury charts? Or doesh Shteve McClaren not count becaushe he'sh fluent in Dutch? Shmoke and a Pancake?

Hmm, dunno. I see genuine potential in both players. I think Mitrovic can be a monster if he gets the right service and support. I can see Perez growing a lot under a manager of Benitez's quality. AM is big, strong, aggressive, sure. But he's also got good instincts in the box and a good awareness elsewhere on the pitch. Can score with head or feet and isn't ponderous either. AP is slight and short, but he has good technique, has a predator's eye in the box. They're marked improvements on Ameobi, Lovenkrands and Nolan, who scored for fun in the Championship. If we stay up, sure I'd love us to add some more quality across the board, but who wouldn't want to buy better players? I think the priority isn't the forward line, it's Left back, centre back, centre mid and left wing.

I'd be staggered if he did. Sure the rivalry is different (half & half scarfs at a derby ffs), but it's not different enough. imo

Pass completion, successful passes, duels won. If he were significantly worse than Cisse at passing the ball to his teammates his pass completion metric would be low As would his successful passes. If he were losing possession in tackles his duel % would be down. My point is that the game we're now playing under Rafa has Cisse moving into the channels, rather than central like Mitro. Next season, Cisse should be moved on and Mitro should be played with Perez & Townsend running the channels. We'll be able to dominate the centre of the park in the Championship with a midifeld of Colback, Shelvey + 1 Other. I use Squawka.

That he struggles to hold the ball up.

I was worried they were going to have Quentyn Martell's fate befall Tyrion for a moment, but then for the same reason I was sure Snow would be resurrected I was suddenly sure they wouldn't off Tyrion either. Regardless of the storylines, those two actors drive the show imo

This film nicely sets up movies for Black Panther and Spider-Man, it pulls Bucky and Ant-Man into the mainstream MCU, it establishes device plots that will be used again (the Raft chief amongst them) but does through a Captain America viewpoint. Avengers deal with global annihilation events, not politics and policing. If it was an Avengers movie, more would have had to made of the absence of Thor and Hulk and the new Avengers (Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon) needed to be integrated asap ahead of Infinity War, but don't need standalone movies. Also, Chris Evans and RDJ have a certain number of films on their contracts, so it makes sense to have Cap complete his trilogy, keeping him free for cameos/appearances in other character's movies. Rather than a tacked on movie that doesn't really push forward his story arc, or that of the other characters either.
