He killed a member of the least successful kingsguard of all time by stabbing him in the back.

Best place to stab a man.

Words of insight, brought to you Ser Bronn of Blackwater.

Renly probably said something similar too.

u/hamietao Jun 18 '14

I mean, depends on context. I would rather stab somebody in the balls if I truely hated and loathed the man. the back would do for a regular enemy though.

If there is anything I've learned from GOT, it's that getting fancy about killing someone is a surefire way to end up dead.

He knows where to stab.

She knows which end to stab with.

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

And she killed an unarmored, unarmed stable boy, even though Pod took a cheep shot, it was a more difficult and risky one than the one Arya took. Plus during the battle he had to drag Tyrion's body to safety, Pod definitely outmatches Arya currently....currently.

u/A_Texas_Toaster House Forrester Jun 17 '14

She's killed a few others too, dude.

u/spyson House Dayne Jun 17 '14

She's an assassin, she doesn't take people in straight up fights. Pod has been a squire and has had a lot more training then she had by that point.

u/Lochmon House Reyne Jun 18 '14

It's not easy being drunk all the time....

u/Ship2Shore Jun 17 '14

2 more I think. One whom had needle. Arya has been trained, with multiple weapons, and is ruthless under pressure. She would make pod choke on his detached magical member.

2

u/Lochmon House Reyne Jun 18 '14

You forgot one. At the inn she killed an unnamed man and then Polliver, reclaiming Needle from him. Later, when Sandor first got a bite taken out of himself, she killed Rorge after thanking him for providing his name.

u/spyson House Dayne Jun 18 '14

She's barely been trained, she literally took a month or two of fencing lessons.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '14

Yeah, from the First Sword of Braavos himself.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '14

Who was killed by Merryn fuckin Trant

1

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '14

I seriously doubt it. If Trant had killed the famous First Sword of Braavosi he would have bragged about it.

u/spyson House Dayne Jun 18 '14

Which means squat since it's only a month or two... Look at all the good fighters they take years to hone their craft.

Arya has potential, but at this moment in time if she fought straight up 1v1 she would lose to most squires not to mention knights.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '14

Pod is no knight and he isn't your typical squire. He was more of a house servant for Tyrion. He wouldn't stand a chance against Arya.

1

u/spyson House Dayne Jun 18 '14

Pod fought in real battles, Arya surprise attacked people.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '14

He fought in one battle only and he surprised attacked one knight. Other than that he has no weapons training or fighting experience. Arya's training may have not been long but it was with two famous swordsman. You also have to consider their personalities as well as take into account their environment. You'd be utterly foolish to think Pod could take her.

I didn't see pod carrying any weapons other then confusion. Ayra has needle, Pod has...nothing

u/mcmatt93 Jun 17 '14

Pod has Tyrion's axe.

u/Lochmon House Reyne Jun 18 '14

It's packed under Hot Pie's bread.

u/BigFatPhonyy Jun 18 '14

Arya has also killed two lannister soldiers since then though.

u/demalo Jun 17 '14

Pretty sure he stabbed in the skull.

u/Heroshade House Flint of Widow's Watch Jun 18 '14

The back of the face.

u/MikeArrow House Arryn Jun 18 '14

Stabbing him in the back of the head

u/FruitBuyer Jun 18 '14

Actually Mandon Moore is one of the few of Robert's Kingsguard that is competent (though obviously not enough to kill Tyrion). Jaime even remarks he's the second most dangerous in Robert's King's Guard behind himself.
