At night he says; Andre Villas Boas, Martin Jol, The House of Rodgers, The House of Wenger ...

Seriously? They can get away with just sticking a picture of a Game of Thrones character next to each managerial candidate with no real justification whatsoever and call it a story? Journalism...

Also, am I the only one who lost interest in Game of Thrones after the second season and despite reading all the books so far finds them a chore to get through because seemingly no one is willing to edit his books or tell him to get to the fricking point?

Yes? Ok then...

Yes. It is just you. The journey is the point!

GRRM is to character development what Tolkein was to scenery, everything on an epic scale.

I agree, the journey is the point, he's just for some reason taking the longest possible route he can find (like driving from Watford to Brixton and stopping in Edinburgh on the way). He's also describing every passer by, every piece of clothing and everything that's eaten in great detail on said journey.

They have the stereotypical fantasy book problem, they're screaming out for a good editor to come along and focus the story.

Having said that, he does write some decent characters (I don't think they've all been translated very well to the screen though) and he is good at a cliffhanger so I'm still with the books whenever they do turn up each decade!

I'm on the other side of the coin really. I am finding the characters so engaging and varied, and the storyline so good, that I don't want the story to progress! I loathe the possibility of an ending

The characters are differentiated to the point that I wish he would investigate even more of them. So many names and stories that are mentioned in passing feel like they could be at the very least be a separate novella on their own.
