In 13 Days, the most epic television show comes back in our lives: Game of Thrones. This has been a outstanding Premier League season - one worth commemorating. We never knew what would happen - it was more unpredictable than ever. Like GOT, there were dramatic storylines with memorable characters. Not everyone is a GOT fan, but what makes the show amazing isn't the violence, dragons, or magic. It is the dialogue, the writing, and the characters. I think combining GOT and the EPL would make for a (hopefully) fun read. Here are 22 quotes that try to sum up this insane Premier League year.

[It is worth noting this was inspired by Bill Simmons' "The Wire" 2011 Playoffs article]

1. "It's not easy being drunk all the time. Everyone would do it if it were easy." -Tyrion Lannister

For Arsenal, who took bottling a season to its highest level and made it an art form. Arsenal overtook a 2 point lead on Leicester by beating Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day. It looked like it was their Premier League to lose. Ozil was one of the top playmakers of the season, Cech was a brick wall in front of goal, and their back line was denying everything.

Their next three fixtures: a reeling Liverpool team away, Chelsea at home, and Southampton at home. They came away with a grand total of 2 points. By the time Arsenal beat Leicester 2-1 at the Emirates, it was too little, too late. Then they proceeded to lose to Manchester United's Academy team away and Swansea City at home.

In early January, I genuinely thought Arsenal was going to win the Premier League. I had accepted it and mentally prepared myself for the onslaught of smugly proud Arsenal fans in late April as I thought they would run away with the league. It seemed like it was their year. They had the talent to win the title and their only real threat at the time seemed to be Leicester City. How could they not run away with it?

But like Tyrion said, if it was easy then everyone would do it...but there is only one Arsenal, so it takes a lot of talent and guile to bottle this badly.

2. "Are you capable of that, Jon Snow? Killing a man in his own tent when he’s just offered you peace? Is that what the Night’s Watch is? Is that what you are?" - Mance Rayder

For Manchester City's Board of Directors. I honestly thought Manuel Pellegrini was dealt a bad hand this year. Half of his best players constantly got injured or don't care about playing any defense. His players are paid too much for winning very little. And then the MCFC board cheats on him, not behind his back, but while he is in the room. Pellegrini has no choice but to be a good soldier, fulfill his contract, and show his loyalty for future employment. I would have told them to kick rocks. Why hire Pep mid-season? Why not have some class and wait until the end of the year?

This quote highlights the lack of integrity and tact of the club. Be careful what you wish for, Pep. What is going to happen if you don't win the way they expect you to win? Do you trust your employer to have your back? This season, they dealt with adversity by showing no respect for their manager. However, maybe this is a match made in heaven. Maybe Guradiola has no character either. He hasn't had to deal with great challenges in the clubs he has managed. The Premier League is a different animal. It will be interesting to say the least.

3. "Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is." -Petyr Baelish

For A.F.C. Bournemouth. They finished in 17th place in League One in 05-06, then 19th in 06-07 before being relegated to League Two in 2008. From the abyss of English Football, they climbed their way up to the Championship in 2013, then to the Premier League last year.

They have dealt with massive injuries to starting players yet stayed the course. Currently in 11th place, it looks like manager Eddie Howe will keep Bournemouth on the ladder for another season as they dream of European competition and English football glory. Like Baelish said, the climb is all there is...and Bournemouth certainly did not break this season. Fair play to The Cherries.

4. "You’re mine. Mine, as I’m yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first we’ll live." -Ygritte

For Claudio Ranieri. A manager who came to Leicester City with about as much popularity as when Jon Snow got captured by the wildlings. Ranieri lost three games and drew one with Greece in early 2016 Euro qualifying, even losing to the Faroe Islands at home.Leicester fans were probably shocked at the hiring. Even former Leicester man Gary Lineker blasted the appointment.

However, Ranieri taught the Leicester City players a counter-attacking style that has helped them reach Champions League football and a probable Premier League title. He taught them to work together, be tough, and play without fear. Nobody believed a small club like Leicester could play off the break and achieve they success that they have this year. Ranieri specializes in his system, and if he was going to die, he would die managing his way. He is the unanimous Manager of the Season. Pochettino was great as was Eddie Howe, but when we think of the 2015-2016 season, we will remember Ranieri the most.

5. "The gods have no mercy, that's why they're gods." -Cersei Lannister

For Aston Villa. A club who literally sold its soul only to be relegated with ease the following season. After unloading Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph, they had nothing left in the dressing room to win points on the pitch. They proceeded to spend most of that money on young Ligue 1 players and received little immediate return on their investment. Good luck in The Championship, Villa fans, but remember Cersei's quote next season.

6. "Can a man still be brave when he's afraid?" -Bran Stark

7. "That's the only time a man can be brave." -Eddard Stark

For Marcus Rashford. Imagine this. You have been playing in the youth academy for one of the biggest clubs in the world since you have been 7 years old (you're 18 now). Your club has had a massively disappointing season (not the Academy team you actually play on against players your same age...you know the real team) . Everyone is questioning whether the starting striker and club legend still has "it." Your club lost in Denmark to some team you have never heard of. The press is saying the head manager needs to be fired by the board. You get called up for the game against the Denmark team. You score two goals in the second half (No, not on FIFA). Next game is against Arsenal at Old Trafford. The weird Dutch guy starts you again. You score another two goals and notch an assist in a huge win. You start the next 5 games and win three of them including the game winner against Manchester City.

The"Holy-****-Where-Did-He-Come-From" Award in 2016 goes to Marcus Rashford.

8. "All my life men like you have sneered at me. And all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust." Brienne of Tarth (to Jamie Lannister)

For West Ham United. What a season...and it still isn't over yet. West Ham isn't Chelsea. They aren't Manchester United. They aren't even Liverpool. The last three decades they have been at their best a mid-table London team (best finish 5th in 98-99) and occasionally fighting in League One.

Leicester's season is memorable, deserving, and amazing...but the Hammer's year I feel like definitely gets lost in the shuffle. Nobody expected them to be flirting with Champions Leauge football in the upcoming season...but Dimitri Payet and Andy Carroll have got East London blowing bubbles. If your team is playing West Ham, you crap your pants every time Payet touches the ball. You put your hands over your eyes when you see Carroll going up for a header outside your 6-yard box.

Leicester will be remembered for their consistency and grinding out wins when everybody bet against them. We are going to remember West Ham for burying Arsenal 2-0 on opening day, beating Manchester City 2-1 away in September, beating an in-form Spurs side in early March, and for their epic 3-3 comeback against Arsenal late in the season. Like Brienne, you aren't scared of West Ham United until your team actually has to face them. Then you're terrified for the next 90+ minutes.

9. "Slay the masters, slay the soldiers, slay every man who holds a whip, but harm no child." -Daenerys Targaryen

For Jamie Vardy and his 12 consecutive Premier League games record with a goal. It's a record that was as critical as it is historically glorious. Vardy was on form this year, he made everyone around him better, and he was a joy to watch. For a while, he simply destroyed the Premier League the way the Unsullied killed the slave masters. Nobody could stop him...and to witness that greatness was magical.

10. "He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes." -Varys (on Petyr Baelish):

For Arsene Wenger. I am not an Arsenal fan (as far from it as possible), but wow did he screw up this season. The arrogance to think Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott, and Danny Welbeck would be enough lead his attack. To honestly think players like Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla would stay healthy. Not giving Joel Campbell a fair shot throughout the season despite being in form. Not bringing in another center back to pair with Kolscielny. Not bringing in an elite striker when you have plenty of funds in the bank. The team was wildly inconsistent playing far below their level of talent. Tactically and emotionally lacking leadership on and off the pitch. For me, it all starts and ends with Wenger. I hope he stays around so Arsenal keep bottling and entertaining me on the weekends, but I felt this quote spoke to Wenger's soul. If he wanted to win trophies, he would have spent money (wisely) last summer. It didn't happen. He would rather be king of a 3rd/4th place team and watch his fans suffer than not be king.

11. "Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow." -Varys (to Tyrion Lannister)

For N'golo Kante. You never heard of him before this year unless you are a Ligue 1 junkie (and you aren't). But the 5'6 Parisian central midfielder played with the power of a Rijkaard and the intelligence of a Modric. He linked Leicester's play beautifully and came at opponents like a human torpedo. He's going to make everyone's Team of the Season, and he deserves it. He cast his shadow in the Prem this year, but can he follow it up?

12. "What do we say to the God of death?" -Syrio Forel

13. "Not today." - Arya Stark

For Chelsea. This isn't going to be a glowing, impressive passage about how Chelsea salvaged the remains of their season. Or about how far they fell from being champions to completely average (at their best...their absolute best) over one summer. No, this is about Chelsea being 3 points above the relegation zone in mid-November. We all thought it was somewhat possible for them to go down. If Chelsea kept playing the way they were playing, throwing in the towel in every game, why couldn't they get relegated? How long was Mourinho going to last the season after winning the title? When was enough going to be "enough" for Abramovich? Chelsea did the bare minimum this season - they avoided death, but that was it. Nothing more, nothing less.

14. "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." -Cersei Lannister

For Manchester City. Her quote speaks volumes about the last few years at the Ethiad. There is no middle ground especially when your owners sink hundreds of millions into the club. Yes, Pep is just around the corner with the keys, ready to upgrade the engine and fly. But it isn't going to be that easy. The roster is either aging (Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolarov, Demichelis, Kompany, Sagna) or not living up to their price tags (Bony, Sterling, Mangala, Otamendi). Iheanacho is promising, DeBruyne is world class, but what other young talent on this roster is going to win you games? Raheem Sterling went for 50 million pounds over the summer, but only has six goals and didn't show up enough this year. Sergio Aguero is still very good but he turns 28 this year and wasn't as sharp as he was in past seasons. The back line was consistently in shambles. The midfield was outplayed time and time again.

This is a much bigger project then I think Pep initially projected. It requires significant investment...and what can this team financially salvage from the players they want to leave? Who can this team rely on to stay healthy? In the Premier League, you win or you die, and this season didn't count as a win for City...top 4 or not.

15. "A bruise is a lesson...and each lesson makes us better." - Arya

For Everton. I really have no idea what happened to Everton this season. Their squad has some talented names: Lukaku, Barkley, Stones, Delofeu, Jagielka, Baines, Coleman, Besic, Mirallas. Was it a lack of quality goalkeeping? Did Martinez get the tactics wrong? I'm not sure, but this is a young team that is likely poised to bounce back next season. They definitely have a lot of bruises to learn from, and can't suffer another season as bad as the current one.

16. "There are no men like me. There's only me." -Jamie Lannister.

For Spurs. Leicester City will likely win the title and they rightfully deserve it, but they didn't come at teams the way Tottenham did this year. They didn't press like Tottenham pressed. They didn't score like Tottenham scored (EPL-leading 60 goals 33 games in). Tottenham didn't put 11 behind the ball relying on two players to knick a goal. Tottenham is the youngest and arguably most talented team now in the Prem. Teenager Dele Alli went from MK Dons and quickly made his way into Spurs' XI - dominating from the very start. Eric Dier established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in all of Europe. Erik Lamela terrorized opponents all year with his pressing. Kyle Walker and Danny Rose dominated the flanks with speed and class. Toby Alderwield became undeniably the best center half in England. Moussa Dembele made grown men look like little boys. Harry Kane did Harry Kane things. Huge Lloris did Hugo Lloris things.

There's only one Kingslayer, and there's only one Tottenham.

17. "Everyone wants to know their future… until they know their future." -Maggy

For Eden Hazard. Not much to say here. He was the 2014-2015 player of the year, and now he's harder to find than Where's Waldo. It's a big summer for Hazard as he needs to prove his talent all over again at the Euros. If he doesn't, then it could be bad for his future.

18. "The powerful have always preyed on the powerless. That’s how they became powerful in the first place." -Tyrion Lannister

For the Liverpool fans who walked out in the 77th against Sunderland, eventually leading to an away ticket price cap for all fans in the Premier League because of the media attention. European football fans are the best in sports (and it isn't close). I don't mind if ticket prices are jacked up for NFL, NBA, and NFL fans because most of those fans aren't a part of the game as much as EPL fans. But EPL fans bring the stadium environment to the screen and make the games special for the players.

Well played.

19. "Even the most dangerous men can be outmaneuvered."- Petyr Baelish

For Southampton. The club I feel best defines what the Premier League is now, and why it is the best league in the world. If you put Southampton in the Bundesliga or La Liga, they would compete. They might not win those leagues, but they would give everyone fits. The Saints had a net spend last summer of about 2 million pounds, yet they sit in 7th place at the current moment only 3 points back of Manchester United. Saido Mane looks like a star that will be sold for 40 million this summer, and this club isn't going away anytime soon. They know how to scout and develop talent. That won't change.

Sometimes it's not about the cards you are actually dealt, but how one plays those cards - which is why Southampton is worthy of a wise, but scary Baelish line.

20. "Winter is coming." -The Starks

For Louis van Gaal. Jose Mourinho is on the doorstep of Old Trafford and waiting to take over the club. Van Gaal came to United and genuinely didn't think he'd fail. His style of football doesn't suit the players (which begs the question: why hire Mourinho?) and his leadership didn't motivate anyone: the fans or footballers. His best moment of his entire Manchester United tenure was diving to the ground during the Arsenal match. It was ridiculous, it was hilarious, and it showed a side of LVG I don't think he showed enough of. The players and fans wanted to see some passion (not necessarily all the time, but definitely some of the time) and energy. They wanted to see that he cared more than some meaningless post-match interview quotes. LVG simply has nobody to blame but himself, and that won't ever happen because of his arrogance. It's not like LVG didn't have the support of the board and they wouldn't spend money. You can't spend that kind of money and get bounced from group stage in Champions League and struggle to get top four.

Winter is coming for LVG.

21. An apology doesn't mean anything if you're not looking the person in the eye." -Ramsay Bolton.

For Newcastle United's players. Don't tell your fans that you are sorry if you don't look them in the eye. That's who suffers the most. The fans pay the money to watch you finish 5-10 places below where you should be finishing in the league. The fans who pay the money to watch you get (possibly) relegated and not even try to win. Next season, you don't deserve fans. But that's what fans do. They support when they shouldn't support. They love when they shouldn't love. It's up to you to fix it. But if you are going to apologize, don't do it on Twitter. Don't do it on Instagram. Don't talk about how hard you are going to work in the off-season. Just win games and leave it on the field. That's all your fans want.

22. "You will find little joy in your command, but with luck, you will find the strength to do what needs to be done. Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy, and let the man be born." -Maester Aemon

For Harry Kane - the Prem's top goal scorer as of April 11 with 22. However, it wasn't always this easy. He was held scoreless for the first six games of the season. Tottenham was 12th on the table after six games and the laughing stock of all other EPL fans. People said Kane was a just one-season wonder - a flash in the pan. Spurs fans were questioning his fatigue after a long summer and having no worthy backup on the bench. Then he scored a goal to bury Man City at home. His next two games (Swansea away, Liverpool home) he scored one goal...for Swansea. Tottenham only took two points from those and sat 8th on the table. Then Harry Kane killed the boy and became a man. He scored 7 goals in his next 4 games and has been on fire ever since. If form is temporary and class is permanent, then Kane is simply a permanent force to be reckoned with.
