Howay

Aye I think that's coming this season as well. Be canny funny if everyone was wrong about Jon but tbh from where I was up to in the books (particularly the bit in the book where dragon tits goes into the house of the undying and sees someone that clearly matches a description of Lyanna playing a harp and a Targaryan holding a baby talking about Ice and Fire) and what has been on the tv show it all points to that theory being true.

I heard she is meant to actually be attractive in the books.

Aye the major theory is he's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen (Dragon tits' brother) and Lyanna Stark, so she's his Aunt. Being a family member never stopped the Targaryen's though.

I was wondering where he had been after playing so much the other season, Eriksen makes sense though.

Not if he comes over riding a dragon and fucks up the white walkers! I still think it's going to be John tbh, maybe he'll marry dragon tits?

He'd be our Drinkwater.

I think that's what he was on about, I'm just holding on to any hope that Tyrion will usurp her.

We're staying up, the mackems wont win another game and Colback will score a 25 yard raker against Spurs to give us a 1-0 win over them.

Is that what it is? Guess it makes sense they settled in an area where zombies come only once in a while, suppose it's like all the people living on top of Yellowstone. I think Ramsey will come for him tbh, although obviously intending to get the cockless wonder and Sansa. I heard Dragon tits goes mental in the books, I've only read up to the 3rd iirc so I didn't see any of that about her where I was. I'm still rooting for Tyrion to make everyone his bitch and have him be king by the end.

That's a help, Eric Dier did his best attempts at GBH in the closing minutes as well but I guess he's going to get off with it. Who would their likely midfield 3 be without Dembele and Alli? Dier-Mason-Bentaleb? No match for ginger Jack.

Aye quick look at Melisandre's nice ones, then she took her necklace off and we got a look at her old wrinkled ones.

I love that "Just you lot wait till it gets cold down there, then you'll be forrit". Makes you wonder how anyone ever settled in Winterfell or further North as they said it used to get cold all the time there if anytime it did suddenly a zombie army come hacking people to bits, think I'd just move to Dorne or something. If he does he best recruit zombie Mountain, might stand a shot if they get him. The South seems very blase to the whole thing, I know they've not heard loads but surely 1 or 2 letters screaming about zombies everywhere should be enough, they act like the blokes at the wall are always crying wolf about it and while they always say "well the zombies might come" now they're saying "We fucking told you the zombies would come!". Again I'd move to Dorne.

They are a right pack of bastards like, completely unprovoked.

He'll be heading to Castle Black I reckon as that was what he was babbling on about before his dad basically told him he's a mental cunt and he should pipe down. Can't control crazy though and Roose learned that in a similar way to Cercei after she gave that sparrow fella a load of power. How far away are the zombie lot now? It surely wont take them long to get there seeing as it's not like they need to stop to rest up. Maybe Ramsey will rock up just in time to save the day and we'll all have a new favorite character, before he does something completely mental again like cut off Davos' nob. I hope zombie John doesn't mess about with Thorne and that little Yorkshire kid, although I've got a feeling he's going to save them since he knows they need as many people as possible for the zombies.

Aye, this season would have been class if we were miles clear of this shite but sadly I can't even be happy Villa have went down.

Aye I think he played there a bit for Ajax. I think that's the crux of it, if we had a half decent defence but we were struggling to score buying strikers would be our priority, but our defence was (and although it's better drilled still is) terrible and we spend most of the game chasing shadows and losing out on 2nd balls due to terrible distribution as our defenders hack the ball away rather than look to retain the ball when under pressure. Since our defence have become much better drilled we've definitely been getting our attackers the ball in better positions and not losing out on the 2nd ball all the fucking time, I pointed out to a mate that Rafa has really improved our lot getting to the 2nd ball particularly on the attack and Colback's goal the other week was a good example iirc, under McClaren it seemed like any clearance from the opposition defence resulted in the build up of an attack for them and all pressure we had created ended.

I fully agree, but we've been extremely lucky that he has been a bit of a revelation there. I don't think any of us thought we'd ever find a use for him. I've been scathing of his midfield performances as well, the fact that Rafa has got displays and in fact goals from Colback and Anita is stunning.

We've scored in every game under Rafa (bar the first game where he had 3 games to prep) during which time the defence has looked a lot more solid and organized, as I said in the thread the Fish just linked too a sound defence would allow us to attack more and be more of a threat going forward. For what it's worth I wanted us to bring in a striker (as I still do) but defence was definitely the priority in January, we've got Vurnon Anita playing right back and we've had Sissoko and Colback play left back.

We need just about everything to be fair, although aye CT did try and argue we didn't really need defenders over January.

And our English manager gave the players fucking loads of time off, that's why they're incapable of playing more than 45 minutes of football. Big Sam has amassed 29 points from 31 games in charge of Sunderland though so we best listen to this fucking genius! Out of shape shaven minotaur A bloke whose entire game plan relies upon humping the ball up to a 33 year old dwarf as much as possible shouldn't be doling out advice.

I love that Benitez isn't bothering to respond. Does he still have a 50 man staff? All to get a team to the dizzying heights of 18th place, what a fucking wanker. Pardew was spot on calling him pre-historic, he must be one of the least respected managers in the Premier League (by the other managers).

Aye because less training sessions would have worked for our players ffs, the amount of time they were getting off under McClaren was half the problem. He really has no self-awareness whatsoever man, he's acting like what he is doing is actually working .

Palace

To be fair Lascelles did look horrific, Rafa has him much more organized and confident even though he still makes some mental mistakes (like the pass straight to that Man City player, he did then recover well though). I'm very happy to be wrong on him though as I think Colocinni is a total fucking cunt and hope he never plays for NUFC again, hoping for him to come back thinking we were fucked without him was an awful feeling tbh. We still really need CB's if we stay up mind.
