Nice to see Nick Compton get a few against the Aussies today. I dont think it will get him back in the test side but it is a useful reminder to the selectors.

80/20 in his favour! That sounds like Fury's bipolar doing the talking. Fury needs help to protect himself from himself.

Where does Haye go now? He needs a decent fight before a crack at a Klitchko again.

The game was thrown away yesterday, literally. 5 overthrows given away by poor backing up and lost by 5 runs.

While England may have been at home India were always favourites for the Champions Trophy. England should have won when Morgan and Bopara were going well. 20 of 15 was manageable until Morgan played that horrible shot and Bopara found square leg, but even then they should have done better.

Normally this is the kind of trick England pull. The Aussies are already copying our patented "Select a player who is not fit" routine with Clarke so to go the full England is a real treat to watch.

That they are coached by an Aussie will help but Tubby Lehman is not the coach Arthur is. Also Michael Clarke is no longer going to be a selector. If the skipper gets no input, and by several accounts I have read he is not well liked by a lot of the team, where does that leave him as well.

Australia seem to be doing the best they can not to win the Ashes by sacking their coach 2 weeks before the first test. Darren Lehman is favourite to take over, which for me is a massive bonus because I love to see that tubby faced bastard looking grumpy when they are not doing very well.

My nan does not trust anyone darker than an albino, and even then she wouldn't trust the red eyed bastards.

I didn't think the Martell's were black, more a Spanish sort of look.

I think Ben sums up my FWA experience as well, minus the Morecambe for me though. Never made it that far. As for matches can I throw in Doug Williams vs Chris Hamrick at the Cleethorpes Winter Gardens. Most convincing mid match injury angle I have ever seen and a match that had everything from comedy under the ring crawling by Hamrick, to top notch wrestling, and Hamrick's great throughthe top 2 ropes back bump to the outside.

Great, the only WWE storyline I remember from the last 10 years is wrong.

Didn't they hint at him and Katie Lea being brother and sister and possibly some nobbing on the side Pitcos? It got dumped pretty quickly but a reputation for sister fiddling even in the deep south of America is unlikely to get the reaction you desire.

Burchill didnt fit the WWE style and was not good enough at what he did to get the booking department to let him do his thing. Thats not knocking him, few do. Throw in an incest storyline and he was never going to have much of a chance.

Didn't want to spoil it.

If you have not got round to watching the Stephenson v Dawson fight yet you should.

They even censored it in the video. I use the word video correctly. Alex Shane didn't believe that people north of Watford could afford DVD players

I enjoyed the original FWA as a whole. Saw some good wrestling, met some really nice people from off here. It really went down hill from Uprising 2 onwards until the end. The relaunch was for the most part pretty gash, lots of bullshit about becoming the number 1 wrestling company in the world by wrestling at Thorpe Park in front of 8 disinterested people, and don't forget all FWA wrestlers will have their black armbands to show how good they are. I know 1 wrestler who got his black armband because he had a car and drove people about.

"Tywin Lannister sends his regards"

Bookwise I read somewhere they expect the next one in 2015 and the last one in 2019

As for the actors getting bored that isnt really a problem is it.

HBO generally works in 10s. Each episode has to be between 50 and 60 minutes long and they are allowed 1 per season that goes to 75 minutes. Season 3 average episode length has been 58 minutes. Season 2 was around 53 minutes not including the special episode. Effectively another episode spread out over the course of the season.

Of course Chest, this is all in the books, which we are not talking about.

 

The tv show characters are all older than the books so it's not relevant. Robb is clearly supposed to be in his early 20's rather than 14 or whatever in the books (which I have always hated). Isn't Joffrey older than Robb in the books?

 

I enjoyed the episode, although the guy they cast for Daario is fucking shit and his face looks like he's had botched plastic surgery.

They are not all older though. Sansa quite clearly said she was 14 last night. It does not really matter though as long as they are in the right sort of age bracket.

Of course Chest, this is all in the books, which we are not talking about.

Operation Yewtree would have to work treble shifts in Westeros.

Robb is supposed to be a year older than Sansa. Loras is supposed to only be 18 iirc.

Another victory for Tywin Lannister in the ongoing season of "Tywin Lannister has meetings with people". Charles Dance continues to radiate the authority of complete superiority over everyone around him.

Also a welcome return for Bronn this week.

Looking forward to tonight's episode. It was written by George RR Martin himself, and that usually spells action. The last one he wrote was Blackwater in S2
