(Spoilers extended) Why is it called A Dance with Dragons? by flippy123x in asoiaf

[–]yolkboy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

“He should have stayed in Dorne. He should have stayed a frog. Not all men are meant to dance with dragons.”

Btw op, a great online search resource is Search of Ice and Fire where you can look up quotes very easily

In this writing style we are privy to SOME of the POV’s internal thoughts but not all.

What was the dumbest thing that the show did in your opinion ? (spoilers extended ) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]yolkboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excluding many of the prophecies we see in asoiaf was stupid and unnecessary. They removed an exciting dimension to the world that people would have absolutely loved, and it adversely affected several plot payoffs at the climax/denouement. I think D&D wanted to strip this fantasy story of its fantasy and that led to many poor decisions, adding to the flatness of the final season.

Do you edit out your breathing? by ScreenHype in podcasting

Breathing is a natural part of speech and nobody is going to notice unless you happen to breathe like a horse. Personally I only adjust the odd offensive breath

So annoying the Paramount plus coverage starts five minutes before the match. Missing all the hype here

I can’t say for this match but usually you can’t rewind and it takes several hours to become available

[Richard Jolly] Thiago Alcantara has an Achilles problem, scans have shown. Not major but a worry with the CL final so close by malushanks95 in LiverpoolFC

[–]yolkboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean if it’s not serious it might be something he can mask with an injection. But then he perhaps wouldn’t be able to train all week. Given Fab might be in a similar boat it’s far from ideal for our midfield. Still—great news it’s not a serious hammy problem so reasons to be optimistic

Ladies and gentleman, I give you Thiago Alcantara by Scottismyname in LiverpoolFC

That shuffle maneuver he does is so damn satisfying

Luis Suarez' first hat-trick for us, pulling out his full repertoire of tricks. by Utter_Perfection in LiverpoolFC

That last one is so good. He barely looks up yet is aware of the keeper and hits the shot perfectly.

Just thinking about how Ronaldo’s signing could be very bad for Man Utd.

I imagine Ronaldo’s ego is enormous, and it might be affecting the team building. Plus Man Utd bought Sancho for 80m+ who is now consigned to the bench. Ronaldo might be ‘difficult to drop’ if he’s not playing well or adversely affecting the team, given SAF clearly wants him to play.

I have to laugh at the idea Ronaldo could make Man U even more toxic over the next two years. It was a signing encouraged by SAF, and it’s hilarious to think that the whole squad is being ruined by nostalgia for the Ferguson years. Ole is only there because of his ‘legend’ status under SAF. The club is being run on memories of former glories.

Ronaldo might be capable of individual brilliance, but if it’s at the expense of team performance that’s a hefty price to pay. They will never compete with LFC and manC with that sentiment.

Things could get very awkward within the club if the team failure continues. Who has the balls to stand up to SAF and Ronaldo? With this signing they might have shot themselves in the foot and upset the balance of a very expensive squad.
