Winterfell is Burning

David Luiz must be having flashbacks to a certain afternoon at the Mineirão...

Some shocking results in Coppa Italia. Not only Juve was trashed by Atalanta (3-0), Fiorentina annihilated Roma by 7-1.

Kevin-Prince Boateng is going to Barcelona. Yes, really.

He's football's greatest mad genius.

Finished it today and I agree with pretty much everything you said. It was better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much. Still, there's plenty to appreciate there, I just wished it was more Titans and less Robin focused. I do agree that Dove, Hawk and Donna all looked interesting and deserved more spotlight.

"Who knew that firing Mourinho would lead to his team playing much better?" "We knew!" Said Real Madrid and Chelsea fans.

No, but the award isn't best player ever, but best player of the year. Just like, say, Gary Oldman winning Best Actor this year doesn't mean Hollywood thinks he's the best actor of all time, Modric or Salah winning this year doesn't mean they're better players than Messi.

United is losing by 0-3, so, in behalf of lovers of good football everywhere, allow me to say: https://media1.tenor.com/images/3c2f34e2d38e292ce44f3f99cecade23/tenor.gif?itemid=11353836

Also, a much smaller court/ pitch. Also, the game stops a lot more often, and for a lot more time.

Everyone knows that...but at the same time an Oscar nomination or win can make careers and earn movies tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so it ends up being important, even though it shouldn't.

This is dumb; it's basically a move in anticipation so Black Panther gets nominated for something (despite the fact it's not best picture material by any stretch).

Actually, this happened in the very first Oscars, when Sunrise, which was far from a big hit (it was released shortly after the first talking movie, and nobody wanted silent films anymore), but was acclaimed by some as the greatest film of all time at that point, could win the award while they gave Best Picture to a more populist choice. More ridiculous than that will be that some categories will be out of the main broadcast- the one consistently good thing about the Oscars was the chance to give technicians and people that wouldn't get the spotlight normally a chance to be publicly rewarded and shine, and now that's out for more stars making political speeches and movie montages.

If it is someone that we've already seen, then Alan seems the most likely candidate, IMO.

Also, they simply have a deeper squad. I can see this happening.

Yes, although there's possible benefits of actually doing his job- it's good to have witnesses that he actually does what's in his job description.
