Game of Thrones: “The Children” – Quick Thoughts

Before I start a couple of things. There will be spoilers, don’t go moaning at me when you read something that you haven’t already watched yet ok? If you do I will hold you in as high regard as I hold Dany’s story lines. Secondly, I’m not going to go through everything that happens in the episode, just little things that popped into my head as I watched. Sorted? Good, off we go.

Well that’s it for another year folks. No more Jon Snow and his terrible accents, no more Hound and Arya comedy tag team duo and certainly no more Tywin Lannister. What are we going to do for twelve months? For starters if you haven’t read the books I highly recommend you start doing so. Anyway enough moaning about what we won’t get, let’s go over what we did get in the Season 4 finale.

When I said last week that I thought the battle at the Wall ending was a bit of an anti climax , now you can see why. I was fully expecting an army to come riding in to save the day just as the Wall looked like it was about to fall. It was nice to see Mance Rayder again and he actually seems to be one of the better “kings” in the whole show; yes he looks after a rag tag bunch of people from all different races who would eat you in your sleep but, he genuinely cares for his people. He’s not necessarily doing it for revenge, or to become the King in Westeros he is a man leading his people to safety. With Stannis now at the wall it will be interesting to see what happens from here, Mellisandre and Jon Snow looking at each other from across the pyre might give us an inclination as to why Melisandre was so keen to come north, she might have seen Jon Snow in her fires.

My jacket is massive Jon Snow

Bran, oh boring Bran. For once his storyline wasn’t dull as dishwater. I suppose there’s only so much pulling of a crippled boy you can show in two and a bit seasons before people really switch off. They kept trying to show Bran as an important character when he was on screen, always reminding us of his sight and finally, today we saw something of interest happen. The skeletons that rose up out of the ground for the most part looked pretty decent, you couldn’t notice the CGI for the most part. It was nice to see Meera actually in a proper fighting situation, she held her own, she was strong and wanted to do everything she could to protect her little brother, sadly to no avail. It was fun to see Bran become Hodor again as well, I’m sure the actor playing Hodor is happy he took the part now, he actually gets to do something of note and not just be the big man saying his own name! Seeing the creepy little kid thing come out and start throwing magic bombs all over the place was great and the rest of that section shows that the show is full on fantasy, yes we have dragons and Mellisandre occasionally has demons coming out of her vag but most of the show is around the politics and the personal stories, seeing and old man chilling in a tree whilst skeletons attack a crippled boy and a young girl throws fire bombs…No that’s fantasy.

If you are a regular reader then you will know I don’t really care too much for Dany and her storyline and I still don’t. I didn’t really feel anything for her, or her dragons when she locked them up in the catacombs of Mereen, they are beasts, she can’t control them, it’s actually a good move for her.

Now, onto my two favourite parts…

Tyrion. I think most people would expect this to be the last thing I talk about, even I thought it would be, saving the best for last and all that but for me there was a section that was even better which I will get onto shortly. Tyrion being broken out of his cell by Jaime was great, seeing the love those two have for each other even though Jaime knows that it will more than likely mean some kind of bad ending for him was great, it certainly brings Jaime back into being a character you can get behind, even after the return of the incest in this episode and the shady scene with him and Cersei after Joff’s death. I Shae and Tywin sexing it up would have come as a surprise to a lot of TV viewers, it does seem a bit out of place for Tywin to want to bed anybody, let alone a whore who his evil dwarf son had been with many times before. But, it served to give us another great Tyrion scene with him putting an end to Shae which was great, Tyrion sitting on the floor apologising while Shae’s lifeless body was slumped next to him was actually quite beautiful in a way.

Then came the big one though, Tywin taking two crossbow bolts whilst having a crap was great, shame they didn’t throw in the lne about a Lannister not really shitting gold, but that would have taken away from the scene. Charles Dance as Tywin is going to be a big miss for the series, yes he’s an asshole of a character but my god he commands every scene he is in. But at least we got a victory for the good guy, for once.

Sup?

Finally though,without a shadow of a doubt the best thing about the finale was Brienne and The Hound. This was a surprise meeting even for us book wankers and at first I wasn’t quite sure about it as Arya was talking to Brienne, but when that fight kicked off, my word, it was something else. It was by far the most intense and brutal fight that we have seen on the show, it even tops The Mountain v The Viper for me. Seeing Brienne going toe to toe with The Hound, showing her strength and her courage was fantastic. They both dished it out and as the fight went on and it turned from a sword duel to a full on fist fight they both dug down and pulled out their animal instincts with each one doing everything in their being to not die. The final sequence with Brienne unleashing with a flurry of punches to the face screaming as she went, finally kicking The Hound off the cliffside was breathtaking. Never did I think I would be so invested in a fight, especially where I didn’t really want either character to lose.

Foreplay is a bit different in Westeros

A few quick final points:

– Arya sailing away on a ship to Bravos was actually a nice ending. They needed to move away from the Lannister murderfest in Kings Landing and end on a semi happy note and they did. A bit cheesy, but not as bad as the season 3 finale with Dany being carried on the shoulders of the slaves she had freed.

– Sticking with Arya, was expecting her to put The Hound out of his misery and it didn’t happen. Damn you Arya.

– How big did Mance Rayder look in that fur coat?! The man looked like a giant!

So, that’s it for this season. Thanks for reading those of you that got this far. I’m really interested to see where the show goes next year. So many characters have come to a point in their story arc where they need something new to do and I have a feeling the next season might come across as a bit slow, they have effectively reset the show and it will be very interesting to see how many people stick with it. Needless to say we will see a lot more of Dorne next year and the repercussions of Oberyn’s death which will be a nice change of setting.

Here’s to looking out for casting rumours for ten months!

Game of Thrones: “The Watchers on the Wall” – Quick Thoughts

Before I start a couple of things. There will be spoilers, don’t go moaning at me when you read something that you haven’t already watched yet ok? If you do I will hold you in as high regard as I hold Dany’s story lines. Secondly, I’m not going to go through everything that happens in the episode, just little things that popped into my head as I watched. Sorted? Good, off we go.

It had all been building up to this. For four seasons we have heard about Wildlings and their threat to the wall, about Mance Rayder, the King beyond the wall and how he has gathered the free folk together to fight for a common cause. Four seasons we have seen how the Night’s Watch were under strength, an order of men who once commanded respect who are now forgotten by all of those who are south of them. Four seasons the 100,000 strong wildling army has been marching towards the wall…

And then they just ran away.

I liked a hell of a lot about this episode but the way that it all ended just fell a bit flat. I can understand Mance trying to test their defences but there never looked like there were more than a couple of hundred people lining up waving their spears and homemade bows. Why were only two giants and one mammoth sent to the gate with maybe ten other people (apart from the CGI budget?). Wildlings, for all we had heard and seen for four years were supposed to be wild people who weren’t afraid of anything but again, they ran away.

But enough about what felt a little flat, let’s have a quick chat about my top 5 moments of awesome:

1. Samwell “Open the fucking gate” Tarly

This episode really breathed new life into Sam. There’s only so much whining that you can put up with from a character and finally there is new reason to find Sam interesting on more than a “aww, isn’t he nice” level. Hearing him swear, and show some confidence was simply fantastic and in a show when the C word is banded about every other sentence to be shocked at someone saying “fucking” shows just how out of character it was.

Also, I really love how the writers made you feel like he was actually going to die by promising Gilly that he wasn’t. Yes as annoying as Sam could be you didn’t want to see him die and I’m sure those non book wankers out there had a mini hissy fit when he said that.

2. That 360 Camera Shot

This was just simply mesmerising and great credit should go to the director and all involved in that shot. Just as Jon makes his triumphant return to the castle grounds after killing a couple of Wildlings the camera panned around the castle capturing all the different battles happening, all in one continuous shot and it was magnificent.

3. GIANTS! (and a Mammoth)

The one thing I really wanted to see from this episode was more of the giants. I wanted to see them riding mammoths towards the wall, trunks trumpeting and by god we got it. Ok we may only have seen two giants and one mammoth, more would have been nice but they looked awesome. They looked fierce. And one thing that the Nights watch have now learnt; don’t kill a giants friend, it only makes him stronger.

Oh and that giant’s bow and arrow…hells yeah!

4. Ygritte’s Dead

I actually really liked that shot of Jon holding Ygritte as she died in his arms, it gave us closure on a story that had been going on for nearly two full seasons. That being said, I hope I never have to hear the phrase “You know nothing Jon Snow” in that accent again.

Also a note to the Wildling raiders: If you see man cradling a dead person on the battlefield, maybe go and kill him while he’s doing that? It would be a lot easier.

5. The Scythe

I’ve made it clear in the past that I am a book wanker but there are still lot’s of details that I forget and for the life of me I can’t remember if the Scythe happened in the book. That was truly epic. And who seriously thought that climbing up a great fucking wall was a sensible battle plan?!

I know I have had a whinge about the ending and maybe part of it was just down to thinking I knew what was coming but the episode was still a really great piece of TV. The ending with Jon going north was all a bit meh also but the fighting inside the castle and on top of the Wall looked fantastic and certainly had you on the edge of your seat.

A few quick final points:

– Seeing Ser Alliser be a pretty decent commander kind of takes away from him being a dick. He went one on one with Tormund and although he came of worse he still lived but he gave rousing speeches and led his men into combat. Yes he doesn’t like Jon but then, Jon is a miserable bastard.

– Janos Slynt being the coward we all know he was and being showed up by Sam was nice. Interesting to see how the brothers react to his cowardice.

– Pip and Grenn dying were actually pretty heart wrenching. They might not have been in actual episodes a great deal but they have been there since season one. Seeing Pip all nervous and being talked around by Sam, getting his first kill and then getting an arrow through the neck was pretty horrible. And Grenn, holding that gate and giving strength to those brothers around him as they faced an incoming giant was pretty special.

– The ever changing accent of Jon Snow. How many different accents were in that episode? I’m going to say about 7.

Well, one more to go for this season. Episode 10 – “The Children”. Interesting to see what stories the wrap up here and how they leave us this season. A cliffhanger or a satisfying ending? Check out the preview below

Please feel free to share this little blog around if you like it, I write it for myself really but always nice to see what other people think about the episodes.

Have you ever seen a giant Ser Alliser?

Game of Thrones: “The Mountain and the Viper” – Quick Thoughts

Before I start a couple of things. There will be spoilers, don’t go moaning at me when you read something that you haven’t already watched yet ok? If you do I will hold you in as high regard as I hold Dany’s story lines. Secondly, I’m not going to go through everything that happens in the episode, just little things that popped into my head as I watched. Sorted? Good, off we go.

Book wanker alert!

I knew what was coming this week, I knew that we would see Oberyn Martell’s head get squished to a pulp. The funny thing is, the fact that I knew what was coming didn’t dampen the experience at all, if anything it heightened it. I was sat on my sofa with my legs pulled up to my chest and during the face off between the red Viper and the Mountain I was literally shaking. I knew I was about to say goodbye to a character that has been nothing short of sensational (in the books I didn’t care too much for him) and I know what happens off the back of all this but, my god I am stupidly excited to see how it is visualised on TV. And maybe that’s what it is. The book’s characters and stand out moments are probably seen differently by everyone who reads them and it’s amazing to see how they have been brought to life on screen.

We were made to wait for that ending this week though, every character had a small amount of time to progress their story lines (with the exception of Stannis) this week and as good as most of those sections were we were all just waiting to see the red Viper of Dorne take on the Mountain. I thought the fight itself was very well done, it was pretty mesmerising, with every spin of Oberyn’s spear you were drawn further and further into the scene. That ending though…Has their been a more brutal shot on TV? Watching the Mountain push his thumbs into the eyes, hearing Oberyn’s screams, the sound of his head disintegrating and finally, the shot of what was left of his head…harrowing.

It was all going so well…

Talking of harrowing, how about that half skinned Ironborn torso at Moat Cailin? Can you imagine being that actor sitting down watching it with his partner? He/She would be having nightmares for weeks. Ramsay Snow, nay Bolton is a vicious little bastard and no matter what Theon has done in the first couple of seasons you just feel sorry for him now. And it looks like they are on the way to Winterfell, I’m sure it’s going to be all sweetness and light returning back there for Theon isn’t it!?

Dany’s story was a little less dull this week with her sending away one of my favourites Ser Jorah. Was Dany too harsh on Jorah? I would say so, yes he gave a little information here and there but the amount of times he has saved her, given her great council and y’know turned down that pardon that was sent his way…But you can also see where she was coming from. I’m said to see the bear go and hopefully we will see him again soon. What is clear in Game of Thrones is that if you don’t die firstly, congratulations and secondly, we will be seeing you again at some point.

Sansa’s all of a sudden grown up hasn’t she? A couple of weeks ago she was scoffing down lemon cakes and building snow castles of Winterfell, what a difference a week makes. It’s going to be interesting seeing Sansa who looks like she has now transformed into something other than a wet blanket to be walked over. Is she starting to play her own game her or has she accepted that she will be a part of Littlefinger’s plans for world domination? Im genuinely interested to see how this plays out (which isn’t something you can always say with Sansa) especially considering it is a deviation from the books.

Fuck Lemon Cakes

Some other quick thoughts:

– What’s next for The Hound and Arya? They mate it all the way to the Eeyrie to be told that Arya’s Aunt Lysa was dead. Arya let out a genuinely evil laugh and then they cut away…Fine!

– I’m fully expecting Grey Worm to be a full on cockney next season. You know, he struggles learning the common tongue this season, being corrected by his new perv interest and then next year he is fluent. Part of me wants to see another character on the show that has a truly terrible accent, as bad as Jon Snow’s…

– And talking of Jon. Next week is going to be all about him. That whole episode is going to be set at The Wall. here’s looking forward to seven different northern accents in fifty minutes.

– Gilly is still alive Sam, you can stop crying. Ygritte again showing that she is a little softer than the rest of the maniac wildlings she travels with by letting Gilly and baby Sam survive in Mole’s Town.

So as I’ve already mentioned it looks like next weeks episode “The Watchers on The Wall” is going to be fully centered on the battle for the wall. I’m fully hoping and expecting to see lot’s of giants especially considering we haven’t seen too much of the Dragons this year, there should be quite a lot left in the CGI Budget. If you want a sneak peak of that episode then check it out below

 

Game of Thrones: “Mockingbird” – Quick Thoughts

Before I start a couple of things. There will be spoilers, don’t go moaning at me when you read something that you haven’t already watched yet ok? If you do I will hold you in as high regard as I hold Dany’s story lines. Secondly, I’m not going to go through everything that happens in the episode, just little things that popped into my head as I watched. Sorted? Good, off we go.

A very quick write up this week even though Mockingbird was a pretty masterful episode. Without there necessarily being much action it advanced plenty of characters stories along and included more than enough memorable moments. I want to start on probably my favourite moment from this week; Sansa hitting Robin.

Remember that brilliant scene in the opening episode of season one where Tyrion slapped Joffrey back at Winterfell? Well, for me this came close to topping that. Ever since we first met Robin Arryn, creepily at his mothers breast, back in season one he has just been one character that you wanted to see get a good slap. It was pretty great to see Sansa get a (very) brief moment of strength here considering she has been such a drip for nearly four seasons. So after Robin had run off crying in waltz’s creepy Uncle Littlefinger who explained to Sansa how he always loved his mother and all the stuff we had heard before and then decided to kiss her as Lysa looked on from a balcony. We always knew that Lysa was utterly mental, even from the few glimpses of her early on in the show but these past couple of episodes have just shown how deluded or even under Littlefingers spell she is. It was a pretty nice ending with Lysa getting pushed out of the Moon Door by Littlefinger. For someone who has had a hand in so many deaths it was interesting to see him kill someone with his own hands.

Take that you little shit

The rest of the episode was very Tyrion heavy as he called on people to be his champion. These were some truly great scenes with Peter Dinklage showing off his acting chops even more after last weeks stunning performance. Just as it seemed that he would have to fight Cersei’s champion himself everyone’s favourite new character Prince Oberyn waltzed in to give Tyrion hope. In Kings Landing this is what the whole season has been leading to since Oberyn’s appearance in the capital. As soon as it was shown that Ser Gregor Clegane, The Mountain was to be Cersei’s champion is was obvious that Oberyn would stand for Tyrion in order to gain his revenge for his sisters death. 

Will Oberyn prevail?

It’s a shame that the show is going on a week break for Memorial Day in the US so we have to wait to see the next episode; The Viper & The Mountain . So,for those of you who haven’t read the books who do you think will step away victorious from this duel? We have heard a lot about Oberyn’s prowess in battle and this week we got a glimpse of the power of The Mountain.

Some other quick thoughts:

– Dany finally gave in to Daario. Couldn’t really care too much though to be honest. Dany’s storyline is still the one that bores me the most and has done pretty much since season two. She has had some pretty awesome standout moments but there’s just something about her story that I just can’t get behind.

– Sir Friendzone Mormont. Poor Jorah. Did you see his face after he passed Daario leaving Dany’s chambers? Never have you seen a man so broken. 

– If I didn’t have to see Melisandre again for a while I don’t really mine. It seems as if she is the only main character who hasn’t negotiated a “no naked scenes” clause this season and that for me is the only reason we still get to see her every now and again. his episode genuinely wouldn’t have been any better or worse if the scene on Dragonstone was cut.

– Arya killing Rorge was fantastic and it was great to see her just do it by herself and taking a few hints from The Hound on board. This pairing has been utterly amazing and seeing The Hound show  bit more of a human side was great thing to see. These pairings can’t go on forever so when it ends it will be a sad day.

– Last but certainly not least…HOTPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You Ji

Today is a sad day.

Ji Sung Park, one of my favourite ever United players has retired due to injury. You always knew what you would get from Ji whenever you saw his name on the team sheet. He wasn’t fancy and playing in a team alongside Ronaldo you didn’t really need to be. He was an absolute workhorse, you would never see him stop regardless of how long was on the clock or what the score was in the game.

A quote from Andre Pirlo

For me Ji was the kind of player that United could have done with this season, someone who would run themselves into the ground for the team and be 100 percent committed.

He was involved in one of my favourite all time United goals against Arsenal in the Champions League Semi Final 2009:

Well, good luck Ji and thanks for everything you did at United.

Game of Thrones: “The Laws of Gods & Men” – Quick Thoughts

Before I start a couple of things. There will be spoilers, don’t go moaning at me when you read something that you haven’t already watched yet ok? If you do I will hold you in as high regard as I hold Dany’s story lines. Secondly, I’m not going to go through everything that happens in the episode, just little things that popped into my head as I watched. Sorted? Good, off we go.

I think a lot of people have been rather disappointed this season. Not with the overall quality of the show but in the lack of screen time for Tyrion, pretty much everyone’s favourite character. And while he didn’t make an appearance in the first half of this episode the second was a stage for Tyrion or more apt, Peter Dinklage to shine.

Dinklage has taken a lot of plaudits for his portrayal of Tyrion and rightfully so and that final speech he gave in his defence was probably the best we as an audience have ever seen him. Tyrion looked ready to accept what Jaime was telling him, that he would live out his days on the wall if he just pleaded mercy. It was the perfect scenario for Tywin, not so much Cersei who just wants to see her little brothers head on a spike but Tywin did not forsee the effect that Shae’s lies in court would have on Tyrion.

A quick thought on Shae actually, when you saw her giving evidence initially it looked like she was scared and more for the fact that maybe Cersei had threatened her and that was why she was testifying but the more she talked the more it seemed to be coming from a place of hate because of what Tyrion said to her in order for her to leave. Now, if she couldn’t see that he was doing that for her own protection she is just an absolute idiot.

I Demand A Trial By Combat.

So over the net couple of episodes we are going to see who Tyrion chooses as his Champion for his trial by combat and I for one can’t wait to see how it all come across on screen. A quick note for those who haven’t read the books and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read the title of the 8th Episode, it kind of gives it all away.

If Tyrion hadn’t had a great deal of screen time this year then one of my other favourite characters has had even less; Varys. It was great to see Varys back here being his usual self and there was something just fantastic about his brief scene with Prince Oberyn in the Throne Room. With Littlefinger gone Varys hasn’t had anyone really to pit his wits against so it will be interesting to see if they can keep him involved for the rest of the season, i’m sure his little birds in Mereen will have a big part to play.

It was good to see Yara Greyjoy and her band of squiddy men attacking the dreadfort in order to try and rescue Theon. it was all over a bit too quick for my liking but it did help to show just how adept the Ironborn are in battle. Saying that, how Ramsay Snow in nothing but a pair of leather bottoms survived that attack I have no idea. If you saw someone wearing no armour would you not try and take him out pretty quickly because he / she would be an easy target? Alas though, the raid was a waste of time for Yara who declared to her own men that her brother was now dead.

The scene following that with Ramsay and Reek had me on the edge of my seat. I think we have all had enough of seeing Reek be tortured, last season it was brutal and outstayed it’s welcome and I was muttering to myself throughout that whole scene “just let him have the bath”. Of course Ramsay wants something from Reek but it was nice to not have to see any more torture.

 

Other quick thoughts:

– Not much to say about Dany’s story this week. It was nice to see one of the dragons in full flight doing dragon-y things but still, genuinely don’t care what’s happening in Mereen. Here’s hoping that Varys’ little birds can make something happen.

– Also, speaking of Dany. Christ she has a lot of titles.

– Long live Ser Davos Seaworth. For me Davos is my favourite character. He is, maybe apart from Sam, the truest character in the show. And let’s not forget, as much of an idiot Stannis is he is actually the true King.

– That establishing shot of bravos with the Titan guarding the entrance was simply stunning, some great work there by the CGI team, and nice to see it on the opening credits as well.

Ser Davos. A True Angel.

United 20 – Gerrard 0

I’m going to be interested to see how many Liverpool fans read past the title of this piece. If commenting on this blog was something that people did I’m sure it would be full of Liverpool fans saying how ridiculous the banner is and how I, as a United fan are just jealous of their season and to get back in my box. Well here is something that a lot of Liverpool fans might not expect I think the banner that flew over Anfield on the final day of the season was an absolute joke.

I’ve always described myself as a football fan first and foremost. Manchester United are my team, they have been since I first knew what football was and I will support them through good and bad times (and yes, this is really the first time in my life that you could consider bad although I’m sure Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich fans will tell me I have no idea what bad times are). Some might think that sounds kind of silly but let me explain the difference here. While I may have some fun with friends who support other football teams to me being a fan of football means that I can fully appreciate other teams, not just me own. I’m sure 90 percent of United fans still would never have a nice thing to say about Liverpool; the club or the fans I am someone who has openly said that if Liverpool son the Premiership title this year they deserved to and I would have applauded them for that, in the same way that today I applaud City. It’s about seeing above the rivalries, or at least not boiling them down to petty squabbling which is all too prevalent in football amongst fans.

Trophies Don’t Make a Great Footballer

When I heard about the banner that flew over Anfield there was a part of me that found it funny, as someone who has a decent relationship with fans of other clubs, Liverpool fans included it’s the kind of thing I could say to someone who knows full well that I still appreciate Steven Gerrard as an all time great footballer. Those who arranged that banner would not have thought that, it would have been done because in their minds they think that the amount of trophies you win determine how good of a footballer you are.

If you are someone who thinks trophies won equals fantastic footballer have a little look at some of these names: Anderson, Raymond Van Der Gouw, Karel Poborsky, Darren Ferguson, Fabio and Luke Chadwick. All of those United players have at least one Premier League winners medal. Does that make them great footballers? Certainly not. For the most part it is a testament to Sir Ale Ferguson that he won so many titles with such dross but the fact remains that regardless of the number of league titles Steven Gerrard has one he is still one of the best footballers of his generation and someone that I am glad to say I have seen play.

This Man Has Four Premier League Winner Medals…My God.

It’s been funny over the years watching United fans (myself included) get annoyed with Liverpool fans who keep talking about their past glories. When they weren’t fighting for titles you would still always get Liverpool fans taunting United when they slipped up and missed out on trophies. So you would have thought that now the tables have turned this season you would have thought that United fans would have just sat quietly but no, the roles have well and truly reversed. I’m really not saying there should be no banter between clubs whatsoever (apologies for use of the word banter) but nine times out of ten there isn’t any humour intended when fans of these two great clubs come together. These people who flew the banner over Anfield genuinely believe Gerrard is an awful player and that him sticking with his boyhood club is something to laugh at. It isn’t.

It’s been a fantastic season for those who love football. Yes your club might not have had the greatest season but from the top of the Premiership to the bottom of League Two we have been treated to some fantastic football, as well as some utter dross of course. Here is looking forward to next season, here is hoping United are back challenging for the title but firstly, here’s hoping for a great World Cup and let’s just remember that whatever team wins the tournament there will be some absolutely awful players.

And Miss Westeros 301 AL is…

It was a tough year this year with lots of fantastic entrants but there could only be one winner.

Congratulations Joffrey of House Baratheon, Miss Westeros 301 AL

“Like, OMG”

Hello Ladies

Not many words needed for this. Check out this heartthrob City fan.

Maybe Fulham Were Just A Bit Crap Mohamed?

Me and my friend Jona were having a laugh on Monday night during the ad break of Game of Thrones. We saw that Liverpool were 3-0 up and, as United fans, let out a massive groan. We kept talking about football and conversation turned to Fulham and how they were now confirmed to relegated to the Championship from the Barclays Premier League (it’s law that you have to call it that).

Now, Jona made the observation that it is obvious that Fulham have gone down because their new owners got rid of the Michael Jackson statue that stood “proudly” outside Craven Cottage over the years. We of course both had a little chuckle and then proceeded to watch the rest of Game of Thrones.

Fast forward a couple of days and the e owner of Fulham, Mohamed Al Fayed, has actually been saying that (and i’m paraphrasing here, it’s tough to actually understand what Al Fayed says) Fulham went down because they got rid of the statue. Now, this definitely does not sound like a bitter former owner having a pop at the new owner at all does it? Oh wait, it does.

Well, how about this Mohamed, maybe, just maybe the reason Fulham went down were because they were a little bit shit and not because of a terrible, terrible statue.

I don’t think this even needs a caption.
