  1. I enjoyed it. I’d have been happy with that ending had they taken a little bit more time to get to it. 

     

    It has felt like a different show the past 2 series though and one that I’ve cared slightly less about. 

     

    However it has had still been great entertainment and an unbelievable show in its scale. I think the people who are slaughtering the final series are possibly too invested in it and however the show would have ended would have been disappointed in some way.

    Deep down, United fans - like Everton - have a massive inferiority complex. It explains their vitriolic chanting. It explains why Liverpool are the central tenet to their songbook - at Old Trafford and on the road. They are like the fat, neglected adolescent who beefs up in adulthood but deep down deeply remembers and resents having been that fat kid -- so many of their fans, the older ones especially who are typically also the most poisonous, spent their formative years growing up in the wilderness. Their earliest memories were of fat, tired United - relegated from the First Divison while Liverpool hoovered up every trophy in sight.

     

    Ferguson reveled in creating a siege mentality whereby their early success was defined as much by having "knocked Liverpool off their perch" as the trophies they won. Can you imagine Klopp glorying in "knocking Man City off their perch" were we to win the league? No - we define our success in the context of Liverpool teams of old. United never really had that through their recent boom period - Ferguson was utterly bilious and having suffered several barren decades watching us win everything in sight (with no European or UEFA Cup glories to soften the blow) all their subsequent glory was positioned firmly in the context of us not being glorious. Liverpool and one-upping Liverpool was a deep part of the fabric of United's 'good years': it stands to reason that now in the lean years they take as much or more satisfaction in robbing us than they do their own team's fate.

    Quality post that, and bang on the money in my book 

  3. Yeah my thinking with Jon was some sort of sacrifice for either Bran or Danerys, which also would have removed the conflict with Danerys over the throne but having thought about it they wouldn't have spent so long setting up that storyline only to get rid of it after an episode. 

     

    I think Theon is nailed on to go

    There’s not a fucking slither of a chance that Spurs take anything at the weekend now. None. City will feel aggrieved and with one major competition to play for, will absolutely destroy them. Given that Solskjaer’s soft centre has been exposed too, the league is essentially gone now as far as we’re concerned.

    Fucking hell lad cheer up will you. Anything can happen, as shown tonight. City have been asked a question again tonight and failed to answer it. Lets see how the next few weeks questions are answered
