Making amends in the best way possible. There are very different interpretations of what bravery can mean on the football pitch. To some, it’s characterised by the traditional ‘blood and thunder’ approach where players clatter into tackles, put their bodies on the line and give every last drop of blood, sweat and tears for their […]

To be expected. Following his deadline day move to Liverpool, former Arsenal player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was back in London as he started for England in their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia. After making the worst possible start, England struck back before half time thanks to Eric Dier’s brilliant finish from Marcus Rashford’s low corner. The Manchester […]

Commentator’s curse. As qualification for the World Cup enters its final stages, England are looking to pick up a valuable three points at home to Slovakia that would see Gareth Southgate’s side consolidate their position at the top of Group F. Well, things haven’t gone go according to plan in the first half at Wembley. After Marcus […]

He drinks and he sings things. In Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister was once asked how we how like to die and his answer was pure rock and roll. “In my own bed, at the age of 80 with a belly full of wine and a girl’s mouth around my cock” is how the youngest […]

This has been strongly foreshadowed. You know what’s coming. As this rousing tribute video demonstrates, Jon Snow has been called many things throughout the course of Game of Thrones. Ned Stark’s bastard, the bastard of Winterfell, the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, The White Wolf, The King in the North and most importantly, the […]

“We’ll blame knob-head over there.” After his recent performances at Reading and Leeds, Liam Gallagher has announced details of a new tour and if you’ve seen the former Beady Eye singer perform his solo stuff, you’ll know that he’s more than happy to play some of Oasis’ classic hits. Here’s what he played at Leeds. […]

What an amazing result. France 0-0 Luxembourg. Despite having 34 shots in total – 9 of those on target – 76% possession and a team of stars, France have only managed to secure a point after the minnows of Luxembourg held Les Blues to a draw at the Stadium Municipal. After romping to a 4-0 win […]

Goosebumps. Game of Thrones fans will know that it’s extremely difficult to summarise certain characters from just one particular moment, but there was a scene in Season 7 that defined Jon Snow’s heroism, bravery and nobility. Cast your mind back to the Dragonstone throne room and that very tense meeting between the King in the […]

This changed everything in Game of Thrones. You know what’s coming next, spoilers and lots of them. Ever since the very first episode of Game of Thrones, fans knew that Lyanna Stark was vital to the events that unfolded. After Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark were reunited in the Winterfell courtyard, King Robert immediately makes […]

So strange that it’s true. “The land of the free and the home of the brave” is what we’re frequently told about American society, but like every other country in the world, the criminal justice system is far from perfect. Documentaries like The Keepers, 13th, Making A Murderer and The Fear of 13 have gripped Netflix viewers but the […]

Ned Stark’s heroic status only grows. In case you haven’t seen the Game of Thrones finale – seriously, who are these people? – then look away now. As we face an unsure future about the fate of the Seven Kingdoms, there’s only one thing that’s certain. The realms of men will need Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen […]

So much nostalgic horror. Which moments terrified you as a child?

Nobody could argue with this. Winter is here and sadly that means that The Long Night without any new Game of Thrones episodes is coming. After an action-packed Season 7, we’ve decided to rank the characters that we felt made the biggest impact throughout. Note: This ranking isn’t based on popularity, importance to the overall […]

Poetic. Like the inevitability of war breaking out in in the Seven Kingdoms, spoilers are coming. Ian McShane once said that Game of Thrones was only about “tits and dragons,” but as colourful as that description is, it doesn’t exactly cover the sprawling series of events that were chronicled in A Song of Fire and Ice.

We love the Kingslayer. The journey of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen was the primary focus for Season 7 of Game of Thrones, but we’re firmly of the belief that their arcs were far less interesting than Jaime Lannister’s. We’ve already expressed our love for the Kingslayer before, but like many other Thrones fans, we’re […]

If you like Luther, The Missing and Line of Duty, this should grab you. The last time we saw Richard Dormer tackle a villain was when his character in Game of Thrones, Lord Beric Dondarrion, was igniting his sword to take on the army of the dead, but in his new show, Dormer is using a […]

While we’re waiting for Season 8. There’s no denying that George R.R Martin was heavily influenced by a host of other fantasy novels, mythology and folklore when he was writing the A Song of Ice and Fire series. For example, The War of the Roses, Lord of the Rings, Hadrian’s Wall, Henry Tudor’s life and events […]

Every Game of Thrones fan was fascinated by this. At what point does the need for a spoiler alert end? Genuine question. Anyways, here’s one. Take a good look at yourselves people.

The Great War is here. That’s it. We’re done with spoiler alerts. Actually, we’re not.

People were wondering about this. You know what’s coming next. Then again, who the hell hasn’t seen the Game of Thrones season finale yet? Who are these people?!?! And now his scheming has ended.

They were jokingly called idiots on Good Morning Britain. There are endless amounts of  TV shows that test the intelligence of their participants.

Their houses won’t be joining anytime soon. Throughout the history of Game of Thrones, we’ve been begging to see certain characters reunited and this season didn’t disappoint.

This would answer one of the biggest questions in the series. In case you haven’t seen the season finale of Game of Thrones, consider this to be your spoiler alert.

The boat that rocked. In case you need another alert,  spoilers are…eh-em, coming. After all that brooding, flirting and insistence on bending the knee, it finally happened.

Great TV. Liverpool’s 4-0 demolition of Arsenal must have been an unpleasant watch for Gunners icon Thierry Henry, but the Sky Sports pundit did his very best to critically analyse and slate the performance of Wenger’s men during the post-match discussion.

“It’s just pathetic.” While it’s hard to pick one particular moment that sums up the story of a match, Aaron Ramsey’s attempt to tackle Georginio Wijnaldum was almost a perfect summary of Arsenal’s dismal performance at Anfield.

The longest ever Game of Thrones episode should be epic.
