I'd say based on their 2014 run that neutrals, including myself, would probably get behind Liverpool more than any other "big" team. I mean, it wasn't as unanimous as the bandwagon support for Leicester obviously but nonetheless I don't think anywhere near as many people would have wanted United, Arsenal, or Spurs to win in that situation and obviously City and Chelsea were up against Liverpool that season and unsurprisingly were not the neutrals' favourites. I mean, as was the case with Gerrard's slip, many still revert to laughing at Liverpool's ineptitude but that's probably their appeal - I imagine in the 80s and even 90s most people wanted them to lose and maybe United were the plucky "underdogs". Obviously speculating as I wasn't alive. So in actual fact an excellent parallel with Stockholm seeing the Vikings' support in S47.

Yeah looks like a tough call for sure.

Lots of Helsinki, I predict a silver medal.

Fucking hell Stropko that old artifact.

That's the main issue and why I'm against a S50 revamp (among other things). That said Cowboy is the first to actually address that by saying to wait. I still oppose the idea but this particular concern is basically alleviated.

Very nice team there, one to watch out for.

As you can probably figure out, I'm not convinced. There are some less radical ideas which are being floated about, some of which I support. I'm quite optimistic there will be some solid improvements by S50.

If we're going to go out of our way to market the league in S60, what added benefits does a restart entail? Hey guys, come join this uhhh new hockey sim league! It's a really fresh concept! We've made wholesale changes which mean so much to non sim-leaguers - we've switched from STHS v1 to v2! We were around for 60 seasons..... and now we're not really. We kind of decided to chase the vague promise that starting again in S61 will bring back S1 activity despite the fact that there's another hockey sim league these days. It was pretty vain to be honest but oh well. (this is a general criticism of Team Restart not this particular MS)

Joke's on you, no one else wants that name anyway!

This looks like the classic case of the arrogant favourites falling flat on our faces. Let's do it in style!

On another note, is anyone else irked like me by Davos constantly dropping F bombs these days? I realise he's a commoner at the end of the day but he never did it before. You could argue he used to speak to a king and princess all the time and now hangs out with bastards and depressed red women priests but I wouldn't give the show the credit. Dothraki bros case in point.

The World will be Hamilton at this pace. Also Team World won't win gold. We will. ENCORE!

Well I was drafted with 322, just slowed down considerably since lol. Playing for the Victory and Continental Cup winners helped I guess.

44 wins every season? Damn I have been spoiled by Helsinki.

so true

lol also your LR is easily the worst in the league. No posts since mid April like what even.

pretty much

You see first-gen, I see a Yukon great.

To be fair they forgot about Greatjon after season 1. He was top adviser man then before they went nah, actually Robb spends most of his time talking to Roose. I'm not sure he was even shown at the red wedding. I am not too pleased with the north storyline but I suppose they've made too many changes from Davos staying at Castle Black, the total lack of Manderlys, Stannis' accelerated demise (if that even happens), to Sansa at Winterfell. And Brienne in the north. I'm glad they've at least expanded it to include other families since S4 and S5 was basically just Boltons left here. I'm trying to remember if Qyburn ever referred to zombie mountain as Robert Strong in S5E10. I assume not since that would be a terrible continuity error within the show but there's been bad ones anyway. In any case, I don't know why they wouldn't incorporate that. It's not like the casual audience would have remembered his name, he's just the Mountain. What does it matter what the huge bloke is called? Eh whatever. RIP Ser Alliser the cunt. That said I won't miss him spending all his screen time saying Jon let wildlings through the Wall. Shame Janos got the honourable death of beheading but Alliser hanged though. In the end, Jon's random turn is what many expected but they did a really shitty job explaining it. As in, not at all. Hoping for more clarity soon. Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS BAELISH

Clegane glaring threateningly from the bench. A winning formula.

Practice facility really has to die and go back to normal for the playoffs.

I will build a wall to keep Da Trifecta out. He will fund it.

I appreciate you're disappointed to not make the cut for the new-look Yukon.
