When did he say this?
The only time I recall him saying anything about his own skill level was the first episode of season 1 when he goading Ned. He mentioned that the competition at court was getting stale.

It's also worth mentioning that Brienne said something along the lines of Jamie being worse than she had expected, and that "maybe people just love to praise a famous name". Sure he was weakened due to the captivity, and his hands were tied, but it's worth mentioning.

Only thing that's certain is that Barristan Selmy is a beast with the sword, as several characters have expressed (Jorah Mormont, Jamie, Ned Stark etc.)

Also, when Ned Stark got sentenced to death Jamie was at Casterly Rock I think? If so it would have been a little impractical to have a trial by combat and wait for Jamie to get there. Or maybe had he already been captured by the Starks?

Barristan was there. Ned was up for treason so it would be fitting for the commander of the kingsguard to face him.

Season 2, Episode 8, when talking to Brienne.

Brienne of Tarth: You will not provoke me to anger.
Jaime Lannister: I already have. Look at you. You're ready to chop my head off. Do you think you could? Do you think you can beat me in a fair fight?
Brienne of Tarth: I've never seen you fight.
Jaime Lannister: The answer is no. There are three men in the kingdoms who might have a chance against me. You're not one of them.


keep in mind though, this is Jaime being his cocky self, and it doesn't necessarily state facts.

Tywin scenes are the best. This guy is on top of the game imo.

Lord Varys and Littlefinger would beg to differ

I've never seen a show with so much story to follow. There are easily two dozen important characters storylines of their own, which are combined into a huge ultra-complex main plot. There's too little screen time to even show all the most important characters each episode, even though they outrageously omitted the boobies this week.

I don't quite get what Theon's captor did. He fake freed him to get information, this much is clear, but why would he kill his own men and say Theon did it? Was he not allowed to kill them but did it anyway to make his scheme more believable to Theon and get more information?

Daenerys is now finally a legitimate force with power to back up her claims. She owned the overconfident douchebag slaver guy in predictable fashion and now commands a respectable army. This may well convince the Dothraki to join her as well because they follow strong warlords. By the time she ships her men over to Westeros, her dragons will have grown up, making Daenerys the dominant military force by a wide margin.

He shot 1 guy in the head, so I am pretty sure that guy is dead :D

Didn't she beat Loras tyrell who is one of the best swordsmen in the seven kingdoms (certainly the best in the tyrell's army) and not some random? And Jaime seemed to think Ned could beat him, hence why jaime was so upset that a soldier stabbed ned mid duel he wanted to see if he could beat ned.

I can't believe I forgot who that eyepatch guy was. When I remembered, I completely shit my bricks. I guess I'm just retarded though, because my roommate was all "yeah, that was kind of the point"

Not a spoiler at all, just spoilering to be nice to people scrolling through.

I don't remember if Ser Barristan was in any of those scenes. On a related note HBO included a particularly old scene in next weeks recap:
