Half the posters in this forum have been made up. This website is a goddamn ghost town.

It's based on the champions in the Hedge Knight, which are in order a Baratheon, Tyrell, Lannister, Hardyng, Targerayan.

I think it's pretty stupid because Joffrey is actually a Lannister and Sansa was never betrothed to a Tyrell.

It's a minor Anaconda Malt Liquor theory, I don't know why some people like it.

well, it's more directly dumb in that there would be no reason for an author to do this

when gurm does foreshadowing, he makes it pretty explicit by having present in dreams or visions, or by creating an oppressive mood, as in the chapter before the Red Wedding. he doesn't do this Bible Code nonsense where you're supposed to pay close attention to the menu at a feast in book 2 so that you can predict who will die in book 4

now, I could see Jonsa or Saegon happening in that there are a bunch of possible ending scenarios where it would make sense

if the series concludes with a Targ sitting the iron throne (which I don't believe will happen, as I reckon the seven kingdoms will be dissolved) then naturally they would want to align with sansa, who by that point will probably either control or be high in the succession of three lord paramountcies
