Is there much of an Arya backlash? I feel like the Guardian is inventing it but who knows. I'm actually struggling to think of an acceptable way of killing the Night King aside from what they chose. Slightly anticlimactic maybe but at least it was pragmatic and feasible. As an aside, if they'd left the army at home and just had Arya hide in a tree near Bran, many lives could've been saved.

Doesn't that deviate from the plan to lure him to Bran and deal with him there though?

I'm exaggerating, but there was a period in the middle where they were nowhere to be seen, was there not?

Damn straight. It needed to be a Chelsea vs Barcelona level of defence.

Possibly, but then the dragons were inexplicably several hundred miles away when the battle was going on. Actually, on that, why didn't Jon's dragon set the trench on fire. I'm not totally sure on it, but wasn't he sat on the castle wall with it at that point? I remember wondering why it had to be hers specifically.

I made my first points about strategy on the previous page, but yeah It's just stupid though. Even if the view was that the Dothraki would wait, why were they front line? They need to be at speed to be effective. Based on that, they did the right thing considering the poor positioning they had.

As much as you're drawing fire for this, I agree. It ruined the immersion for me when the cavalry charge into nothingness went on because no sane commander would ever countenance such a moronic play. Done for drama I suppose. The more sensible approach maybe would have been less cinematic, and LOTR already hit peak cavalry charge. Twice. On a separate note, the Guardian seems to think that there is a debate to be had about whether or not Arya is a Mary Sue: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/apr/30/arya-game-of-thrones-ultimate-mary-sue To be clear, she is not. She's well developed, spends 8 seasons training how to kill making her a believable assassin, and wins the day by being crafty rather than invincible. She's not a Mary Sue.

Yeah they're fucking delusional. Well, damn, first time in my life not voting Labour ahead. Guess I'll try and get a sense of who realistically stands a chance...

If that's true, surely that's a bigger story than the main squabble over the throne Kind of agree with whoever said that the actual ending would have been humanity versus the undead, rather than humanity versus Cersei.

Impressive timing

The battle was well filmed and apart being dark and foggy was visually impressive. Strategically fucking stupid though. Why can't writers write intelligent battles? What in fucks name was the point in sending the dothraki off to die in the pitch black? And then having a fight in front of the fire trench... Why? Why not stand behind the fire trench and then, as gloom says, have the dragons torch everything back and forth. Army can pick off stragglers who make it over as they come through. Night King's death was surprisingly acceptable.

Why is this such a difficult decision for Labour ffs. It's not like those 'working class northern leave voters' are going to go and vote for the Tories after the shambles we've seen. They'll go to UKIP, which will, I'm sure, win a few seats. But it's not going to be enough to really change anything, it'll still be Labour vs the Tories, and Labour could carry a much more positive message with Remain. On the other hand, not backing it is going to lose them almost all of the principled middle class.

Same. It's just fucking tedious now. I will not vote Labour again under any circumstances until they move to being pro-EU.

Haha, that's how it goes. I think the client is solid. The previous iterations I was a bit unsure about but i can't complain about this one in any particular sense. The timeout system to hurry up slower players stops the game becoming frustrating, and in general I think the graphics and interface are solid. I've quite happily sunk a few hours into it. The only real problem is that many people are unimaginative bores and all use the same deck alignments. It was a big problem at the start when only 3 sets were available but it has become less significant now that they have 8 sets. More variety in opponents as a result. I've managed to get to Gold rank with my deck. Also there's a friend system to play people you know, so you can use it for long distance games with friends.

That's exactly what how it happens

I'm aware there's an online shoeing coming, but I still thought it was worth asking

Anyone else sad enough to play this? It's free to play and quite generous with rewarding grinding. Just thought I'd ask

He has 1 million hand wringing left wingers watching him I'm sure

In many ways, if we had Short we would have done better than we have under Ashley. He threw money around happily. I mean I'd gladly take Short as Chairman with Rafa as manager.

It's not actually a bad strategy for making a quick buck. If you picked a team that was less ridiculous, maybe.

Aye they were fucking silent about that up until they fucked up against Peterborough Now all of a sudden there's a silver lining to their shiteness. I mean what is he actually saying here, that they're happy in League One?

I'm going to admit that i laughed when he called Ann Widdecombe 'Britain's most famous incel'. Childish video though.

I mean, this is his new video. It's an 'up yours' to the media.

I don't understand why the media is giving him so much attention... i mean hes fucking loving it. By the way, as for preventing the mainstreaming of such people, I did try to suggest we move to a firm left position and start talking to people who felt isolated and disenfranchised, and who therefore start watching these people. Generally when I do that, everyone carries on like it's the most preposterous thing anyone ever said and tries to equate it with talking to nazis. So maybe we fucking deserve Sargon.

Just gonna say, i said about 3 years ago that these people were gonna start crossing into the mainstream
