The 15 point penalty against Juve has been postponed. Case will go to trial. In the meantime Juve move up to third in the table on 59 points.

Reports that Palace will appoint Adi Hütter as manager at the end of the season.

The Haaland factor could propel Man City to the final (and title) this time. It's usually been a case of stage fright in front of goal that has undone City in the knockout stages but Haaland is an absolutely ruthless finisher. Last season, City battered Real Madrid in the 1st leg and should have been out of sight by half-time but fluffed so many great chances. Obviously I'm hoping that Bayern can pull off a miracle comeback but they haven't been all that good this season and I don't see them being able to keep a clean sheet.

I haven't seen anyone dismissing Arsenal. Just people saying that Man City are now the favourites. There's nothing controversial or disrespectful (to Arsenal) in saying that given that City has won two league titles in recent years by a single point margin. Their squad is much more experienced than Arsenal's at dealing with this kind of pressure and coming out on top.

Losing both Saliba and Tomiyasu was a big blow. Otherwise, Arsenal could've put White at CB and Tomiyasu at RB. Zinchenko was out yesterday as well so it shouldn't have been all that surprising that Arsenal's defence looked a bit shaky. However, they really should have been able to see out that game after going 2-0 up but the combination of a missed penalty and Benrahma scoring at the other end shortly thereafter seemed to rattle them.

Sancho has been a terrible signing. He looks scared to take anyone on. At this point he'd be terrified of trying to dribble past a traffic cone. He's basically playing like late career Mata.

United's players dropping like flies. Sabitzer injured during the warm up.

Yeah, the pacing was insanely rushed. The battle was good and the ending satisfying but really needed much more time to set up the plot lines properly - the first two-thirds or so of the movie was a mess due to the way-too-fast pacing. Should've just given the show a season 6 (even if it was a shortened season) to wrap up properly.

Villa are cooking.

We completely choked. What should have been a comfortable win now looks like almost certain elimination given our poor away record this season.

He's a good player, but I've always rated Konate above him. Whenever I watched Leipzig playing, Konate looked like the better player to me so I've never quite understood why Upamecano was the one getting all the hype. I said it at the time that Liverpool got the better CB and for a lower fee. Bayern have confirmed that Mane will be fined and he will also not be part of the squad for the game against Hoffenheim.

Etihad. They already played the league game at the Emirates which City won. That gives City a slight advantage but Arsenal have been very good this season and this would be a game they don't have to win. If they get a point then I expect Arsenal will go on and win the league. Damn, City might actually win the CL this year. They looked very good yesterday and that tie should be over. Benfica/Inter was a good game for the neutrals. End-to-end stuff and we would have had a much higher scoring game had the finishing on both sides not been so poor.

Nah. A single thread is fine. This show isn't garnering anywhere near as much activity on here as GoT was to warrant separate threads. If people want to fawn over the show, let them. If people want to bitch and moan about the show, let them. If people want to bitch and moan about people bitching and moaning about the show, let them.

Glad they've decided to end it at four seasons. The show should go out on a high note now. Always felt that five seasons would be one season too many. Also thought that the show had already started spinning wheels last season.

When Greta Thunberg set out to try and rid the planet of filth, I don't think this is what she had in mind. But I gotta admit, she nailed the side quest and all it took was one tweet.

Biggest upset for a while was Georgia beating Wales. Georgia look to have improved significantly ‐ narrowly lost to Samoa and beat Italy previously. The Six Nations should introduce relegation.

That was a horrendous performance. The scoreline is a bit flattering too. The Wallabies played us off the park for 70 minutes of that game. eta. Can't believe Argentina pulled off an away win against the All Blacks. The ABs are not at their best but that is still a massive result.

Season 3 premieres June 10.

Or they could just go The Last Kingdom route and mostly ignore characters aging. It's not such a big deal. This is a setting with effective anti-aging drugs and advanced medicine too.

Sam and Naomi were just good friends. Sam and Pa were lovers.

No. This season is only going to cover the remainder of book 6 (Babylon's Ashes) + the short story Strange Dogs. The incident you refer to occurs between books 7 and 8 timeline wise.

I read it as the alien station was drawing energy from the other universe and the ring gates as well as all the artifacts were getting their energy from the alien station. Once Holden destroys the station and collapses the ring space, the gates and all the other artifacts are cut from their power source.

The first half or so was a bit of a slog to get through. Kit's chapters were filler and the cat and mouse between Tanaka and the Roci crew became tiresome but it did eventually come together and the 2nd half of the book was much better and with a satisfying ending. Would the dogs even be working anymore once the ring space was destroyed? I think proto Miller mentioned that the gates as well as all of the artifacts drew their energy from the other universe so once the energy source was cut off I'd have assumed that they'd cease to function.
