The Fish

To Fulham from Benton? That's a good 4 1/2 hrs by taxis and trains.

Just rumours of Kenedy and Targett. Gayle apparently showed up to training 4 hours early. You'd think, if he was leaving for Fulham, he and his representatives would be en route to London by now.

We could do with a full time head-doctor. Sort out Shelvey & Mitrovic's discipline and convince Ashley, Barnes and Charnley the error of their ways.

I think scissor tackles are extremely dangerous and put unnatural pressure on the ankle and knee. I think that potential to cause serious injury should be taken into consideration when punishment is meted out. That's why two footed tackles are banned, tackles where you're off the floor and thus out of control and so on, their potential for causing injury is higher than a normal tackle.

He's a moron.

Burnley? Stoke?

Holding Wenger's jacket as he takes the photo.

I think idfthey had hinted at Littlefinger colluding with the Lannisters, then his scheming would have seemed more critical. As it stood, his ambition to sit on the Iron Throne wasn't a concern because although he had a tentative control of the Knights of the Vale, it was clear that Royce (?) would leap at any chance to switch allegiance to someone else. And the Knights of the Vale aside, he has no power. It was made obvious that Sansa was no longer wholesale buying what he was selling, it was obvious that Bran was immune to his bullshit, as was Arya. imo the show should have had Littlefinger plotting throughout this season with lesser Northern Lords and the Lannisters. Make his betrayals and machinations have weight in major characters' stories. Currently all it was going to do was make Sansa's grip on the North weaker or firmer until Jon returned with Daenerys and the whole R+L=J stuff eclipses all other storylines. Which likely be episode 1 or 2 in season 8. Have the Stark sister storyline be about Arya distrusting Baelish, investigating his plot, basically hunting him, discovering it all the while trying to get the trust of Sansa who would obviously be reluctant to trust her newly returned creepy psycho sister. But do it over the whole season, rather than just squeezing it into a few episodes.

There does seem to be a trend to be hyper critical of players. If they're not the complete footballer they're dogshit. If they're 24 but haven't yet perfected their art they're a lost cause.

Don't know, but it could be as simple as Wood's heading being turned and wanting out of Elland Road.

Don't think they could squeeze everything they needed to + "realistic" travel/ravenmail times.

I think they'd pay that extra £3m given what's out there. Gayle is a player who will score a lot of goals in the Championship, and they now need a striker that scores a lot of goals in the Championship.

Too busy being a fucking hero, you mean?

He's not the only one thinking Clark was at LB, Louise Taylor also got it wrong. Had to double check on whoscored.com's heatmap page, but Mbemba was definitely at LB

I agree, that wouldn't be believable.

The living ones did, sure. But it's dead and he's a wizard Harry.

It's been mentioned a few times, by Benjen and a couple others I think. I enjoyed the episode a lot, and there were still a few surprises, but it didn't feel like the end of other seasons. Perhaps because the pace was so quick this season.

As long as whatever funds his departure raises is reinvested in the squad, I'm ok with him leaving. I know he scored loads last year and he works hard on the pitch and all that, but I never really took to him.

Think dragon fire trumps whatever spells were cast on the wall.

What makes you think he needs to speak to control stuff? He hasn't spoken at all in 7 seasons.

The only way we should let him go is if we've someone much better waiting in the wings. Joselu isn't that.

Good win, good performance, good lord we need a good number 10.
