In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
What's aryas story then? I thought she would go back to the faceless men.
But she's now Dora the explorer?

Complete let down. Wtf did I just watch?
It certainly isn't. I'm no professional writer and could never be one.
There were a few people who were winding others up for taking the show too seriously, as if being interested in the characters and political intrigue side of the show (the thing that really made the show good originally) was a sad thing to do, rather than just enjoying the 'tits and dragons'. Basically just being contrarian for the sake of it, or trolling. Didn't mean to imply everyone. I would suggest a rewatch though, watching it back in light of the finale might change your opinion.
Most will agree that the spectacle and cinematography of Episode 5 were on point. The writing was still bizarrely shit though, as it has been for most of the season. The finale laid it more in the open as it didn't have the high budget action sequences to hide behind.
Errr, yeah, sort of doing three Star Wars films...
There's literally no evidence of the crime so he could easily of got past Greyworm, just said she melted the throne and went for a fly to calm down. He was taken prisoner though so I guess Jon walked up to Greyworm and told him he'd just murdered his Queen
WTF is this - how can you literally destroy a show as amazing as this in just a few episodes? How?
Everything after Dany's death (with the notable exception of the still excellent score) was utterly, utterly terrible.
She spawns the greatest foes of all, the flat earthers.
Anyway the finale was pretty bad but kind of glad I expected it!
At least the music stayed incredible throughout, the track that played when Drogon melted the Iron Throne is beautiful.
I'm pretty sure the game of thrones universe is flat
Up to that point I was enjoying the episode. Incredibly disappointed.
Spinoff probably. They will try to milk the franchise
Wtf was that. Up until Dany dying it was going well. They were sort of fixing the story.
Can't believe I almost woke up early to watch this stupid episode. I'm glad I slept through my alarm.
This season wasn't great, but I still thought it was decent. Even the last episode, I could understand Dany going crazy. But Bran as king? WTF is that about?

I thought Dany’s death was very well done.
Has to be one of the worst finales ever.
What even was the point of Jon Snow being a Targareyan?
Bran said he didnt want to be a king and then he's like thats why I came all this way? Wtf?
Tyrion murdered Tywin and was suspected to be have murdered Joffery was hand to a Targareyan and a Lannister also the master of coin and the last alive Lannister. Why the feck wouldnt he be in Sam's crappy book?
Why didnt the other lords demand independence?
Why was it so easy for Tyrion to find his dead siblings?
Where did Dany get the huge banner?
Why was Dany's death treated like an afterthought. By the end of the episode I forgot she even died.
What are the Nights Watch watching?
Why was Bronn who blackmailed Tyrion and Jamie made the master of coin?
Why does the three eyed raven need a master of whisperer? Cant believe Hodor died for this.
Cant be arsed typing the rest of the plot holes. Safe to say D&D pretty much abandoned the show.
Only good thing was Ghost got some love. Which I'm pretty sure was added afted the backlash

It was a decent episode if you just watched it without overthinking things, but a lot of it didn't make sense after Dany died.
Since her body was gone, why would anyone know it was Jon unless he'd be so stupid to actually confess (he'd be stupid enough probably, mind). And additionally, there's no way Grey Worm (and the Unsullied) or the Dothraki would've let him live, he would be killed on the spot if they found out he had killed their Queen. Doesn't make sense at all, and poor choice not to show how it all transpired. Tyrion going from a prisoner to choosing the King in a matter of minutes was a poor choice as well, and Jon staying at the Wall / going beyond the Wall even though the Unsullied had left for Naath is stupid as well, feck 'em and join your family in that case. Arya has been "Stark first" mode all season long and now she suddenly decides to go West "where no one has ever gone"? What the feck.
Bran on the throne is a bit of a disappoitment for me either - why did Jon's parentage matter at all if it isn't him? I guess it was only used to make Dany go full loco but it's still underwhelming. The season as a whole was okay-ish if you look at the big picture (build up - battle with the White Walkers - going South - battle between the great Houses - peace), but it was so rushed that they kinda fecked it up. You could, or should, have made 3 very good episodes about all the things that happened in episode 6 last night alone.

Turd of a final season. The show ended with the battle of bastards.
Thank feck it's finally over.
It was dead before that, the stench of the animated corpse has now reached every last nostril.
Sansa is a cnut btw. Couldn't stand to see that her brother would be king and hence more important than her.
Well that was incredibly dumb, but at least it's over.
It's all fine actually, because after saying how dynasties are bad, mkay, they create an old school kingdom for the Starks to have some juicy conflicts with the 6 kingdoms who are all happy to watch Sansa go independent while they are ruled by her crippled brother who most of them never even met.

Really loved the technique of just cutting the scenes D&D cant handle. Jon revealing his ancestry and the aftermath of Jon killing Dany. Brilliant.
Felt zero emotions during the episode read 3 of the books watched the show twice but still couldnt give a single feck about what happened to the characters. So disrespectful, the way they handled GOT.

Loved it. Loved the entire series, You're all a bunch of idiots. This is not me trolling.
I'm halfway through and this is hilariously bad. I don't even wanna watch it.
How comes it ends up exactly the same though?
A small council arguing over where to spend money, and a master of coins wanting to use it on the brothels. A useless king not even really giving much of a feck.
Literally nothing has changed in the wheel

Didn’t quite get her opposition to Bran becoming King... the north will be independent but will always bend the knee to a Stark rather than a ruler who might be the best for all the people & would be ‘elected’ rather than have a birthright to the throne.
Yeah that was entirely out of character. That wasn't "Smart".
The show should have ended with Brienne, quill in hand, just drawing a big cock and balls, breaking the fourth wall, looking directly into camera, saying, "Coz feck you!"
Should have ended it with the Westworld theme playing at the end
It's not a coincidence that everything went to shit as soon as the directors ran out of GRRM's source material. It's like when Fergie left and we became completely useless.
Can’t wait for the new Star Wars movies and the new show D&D are doing - Confederate, about a south with modern day slavery. Both should be fun, especially the TV Show. Those two idiots lost the plot as soon as they ran out of source material, now imagine if they are given free reign on a TV show about slavery. D&D are gonna bring the whole network down
Which was delivered with the fecking double whammy that the Lords of Westeros are now proper right happy to accept that their king should be an outsider from outside their kingdom having spent, you know, several season, fighting against Dany and her foreign army.
Even if you accept the logic presented by Tyrion in the show, which is dodgy at best, that bit makes no fecking sense.
That was hilariously bad. Why are all the conversations so long and drawn out? As if it was written by idiots for idiots.Unsullied have started a new house even though they can't father any children.
Jon the rightful Heir is banished to the Black and Bran randomly rolls up and becomes King
.It's actually pretty sad after 10 years of watching this is what we get.
The dragon freaked out for quite a while which would attract a lot of attention and then carried the body away, and there was a big puddle of blood on the floor + Jon's dagger was gone.There's literally no evidence of the crime so he could easily of got past Greyworm, just said she melted the throne and went for a fly to calm down. He was taken prisoner though so I guess Jon walked up to Greyworm and told him he'd just murdered his Queen
I can't defend any other scene though.. Glad it's all over.
I enjoyed it.
I've defended this season.
That last episode though, pretty rubbish to be honest.
