    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I preface this every time by saying this isn't the same story as the books anymore and that I will still watch the show until the end. With that said that was awful, really truly awful. I said last week that I don't believe Weiss and Benioff along with their writer crew actually understood...

    Spurs and Chelsea did everything they could to throw away a top 4 spot but somehow Arsenal and ManU out shitted them. Pretty amazing.

    I wouldn't give up on us at Anfield considered how Barca were just hanging on regardless of the score line With that said, I'm not paid millions of pounds to manage a team but Gini as the 9 after Keita has to go off injured....yeah..... not great.....

    That's true though he's had the end book in his head for over 20 years now so I doubt he doesn't have it pretty well mapped out. It's books 3-6 that he added and without completely derailing something that should be in the book thread he should have stuck to his original plan in hindsight...

    Again. Azor Ahai, Prince that was Promised, Bran's powers, Howland Reed, the Citadel, Dragonglass, Valyrian Steel, Ghost, White Walkers, etc etc. Basically anything to do with fantasy you just have to wait for the books as that's not what the show is seemingly about anymore.

    If Suarez scores an OG and it makes LFC advance? I'll fucking celebrate LFC advancing whether it was deserved or undeserved and dream about crushing probably Ajax in the final.

    With any cup competition you can have a bad 45-90 minutes and then you're out. Does that mean you're a bad team? I think the 11/12 Barca team is the best team I've ever watched yet they got super unlucky against Chelsea and went out. That shouldn't negate how good they were. That's without...

    And when did Klopp ever manage a team that was favored to win the CL let alone expected to? The CL even being a barometer for "good" is also somewhat laughable.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Again, from episode 1 the real war was supposed to be against the dead. To then pivot to a plot device so the battle with Cersei has more meaning is retarded. I'd argue he was worthless pre-battle and then during the battle he just warged into some ravens and watched? Seriously? You can...

    Without bothering to look through them all there were some previous ones that seemed a bit more than in jest. But maybe that's just me in that the people I talk to about soccer in my RL are also somewhat this way in that they think Poch is shit because he hasn't won something or that Sarri is a...

    After sleeping on it some more I just have to re-iterate what I said after the first episode that the only way to really enjoy this as a book reader is to pretend it's no longer the same story. This reminds me of the Dorne story line which was atrocious last season in that they followed GRRM's...

    Welp, basically confirmed now without GRRM doing the writing this has turned into a total shit show. Yeah the battle and cinematography was great. But 8 years of buildup and it's just over like that? What was Bran even doing the whole time? How is every important character fighting...

    I'm guessing they lose the battle and have to retreat to the Iron Islands for two reason. 1. If they don't then the show runners will cement themselves as completely clueless without GRRM's writing. Why have Euron, Yara and Theon at all last season unless the Iron Islands are still involved...

    Steel Division 2 (RTS)

    I played SD1 for a while, might try SD2 eventually as I like the game in general. Biggest issue, which applies to almost all WW2 games of this type, is it's stupidly hard to balance the divisions and still adhere to somewhat historical accuracy.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying seeing this end. But in a way I think I need to process this is just one version of the ending. I don't think book version of Jon and Dany will be this terrible.... maybe?? Dany is really grating on me right now. Also after sleeping on it think locking the...

    Winterfell falls (LOL) and the horde approaches KL. Qyburn usurps the Night King since he can also raise the dead and is then killed by undead Clegane, both of them. The end.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Just seemed like a wasted episode with how much seemingly needs to be done. But then again ever since they ran out of GRRM's dialogue to use and had to come up with their own it's been a bit of a slog at times. Guessing we don't get any where near the amount of answers we (book readers) are...

    I like the drop ship change regardless of what anyone else says. Tried out a Longbow and a Triple Take, actually got a kill with a Longbow after early game where usually I only get to hit them once and then have to engage closer.

    I tend to go off the facts which are he's been accused and between Juve and himself are doing everything they can to avoid him having to deal with it. If he was innocent you'd think he'd be quickly trying to clear his name no? Then the Kean incident which is ridiculous. So yeah, Karmic...

    Barca played similarly to ManC and Juve last week in that all were defensive away from home. It also doesn't help that Barca's midfield is a shadow of it's former glory so in general Barca can't be as good as they were recently due to that. With that said it's two different things as far as...

    Unless I"m misreading what you wrote you seem to indicate that you thought it should have been a more even game at OT. Are you saying it was even or it wasn't?

    Patch notes look alright. The hit registration issue and hacking are probably #1 and #2 with #3 being the underwhelming season pass but at least it's some real changes for heroes that barely get played.

    One team is the 4-6th best team in the PL. The other is going to win La Liga. Unless you're a blind Red Devils fan then even playing them to a standstill at Old Trafford was and did prove to be unlikely. As far as Juve, maybe going out of your way to harbor a probable rapist and not defending...
