i want Richmond to make it to the Conference League. i want to see them play Anorthosis Famagusta I was also thinking that Zava was gonna be the homophobic guy but also: Isaac's "that's a bit gay, bruv" comment. New star player being a shithead is one thing but existing team captain is probably more severe for squad cohesion, ultiamtely. Overall I have to suspend enormous amounts of disbelief, given what they pick and choose to keep from the "real" world of football - I kind of wish they just made up completely fake clubs. The episode about covering up their sponsors with tape rang extremely hollow when they've licensed in Man City lol if you would like another piece of media about a vibes-based manager taking over a struggling team, I can recommend a manga called Giant Killing, which is about a 35 year old ex-player returning to his old club to manage it and actually goes into (relative) depth about aspects of football tactics and game management, as well connections with the fanbase, local area, and business decisions.

yeah that second half was perfect on the other hand i have no idea how i feel about that video call at the end. i get it was supposed to be the carbon monoxide release for ted but also it still felt bad.

Kloaked00 posted:I think it would have felt better if it was more of a conversation with Michelle, rather than him expressing himself and her just responding with "okay" this was my feeling! but i couldn't tell if it is was deliberate or if they just can't be bothered to write lines for this side character who turns up twice a season but has a big impact on the main character. it's very weird to me. maybe it's meant to be. i have the memory of a goldfish can't remember if there's ever been a "gently caress's Sake Ted This Is Exactly Why We Separated" conversation.

probably should have clocked it in the yankee doodle burger barn but laughed aloud when i realised in the middle of him explaining it that ted had independently invented total football. also found colin/trent's chat very touching and i'm pleasantly surprised that they haven't hamfisted it as i thought they might

went looking for a thing about the ted lasso rewrites and what the gently caress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Sudeikis#Personal_life quote:Sudeikis' process server publicly served Wilde with court documents regarding child custody while she was on stage presenting her film Don't Worry Darling at CinemaCon 2022."

Data Graham posted:I'm not sure what to make of the shift to hour-long episodes. It really gives the whole show a way different feel. it means i am spending a longer time watching this season of ted lasso than i might have, so it has made it feel worse. anyway i predict that: the PI found out dr jake is cheating on melissa after colin gets outed to the squad at least one other richmond player will reveal they're gay jade will eventually reveal something which dooms the relationship - she will nonchalantly utter the phrase "you never asked" and nate will say "right. well. i'll just be going then"

them not focusing on the football as much is fine because they don't do a very good job of it, unfortunately they're not doing a very good job of anything right now

Data Graham posted:I will expand on my "contrived" comment earlier by saying two things didn't really click for me about the gay reveal plot: yeah big agree on #1. this show is not equipped to portray and explore actual conflict that arises from some of the issues they explore. sure maybe statistically there's at least one gay dude in your team but there's also likely to be a dude who is exceptionally uncomfortable about it (if not a massive prick). re 2: might not necessarily have inspired it, but there is a relatively recent incident of a player going into the stands to fight a dude: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/mar/04/eric-dier-confronts-fan-in-stands-after-tottenhams-fa-cup-defeat-to-norwich also while my first instinct is to laugh at the yanks in here who don't know about the PL, the show does do such a loving bad job of picking and choosing which realities to reflect that i don't blame anyone for being confused about it

i think the thing which pisses me off most is the irrefutably derogatory "that's a bit gay, bruv" comment earlier in the season just not being acknowledged at all. make colin bring it up!! force isaac to reflect on his own behaviour!!!! the 1% chance people wouldn't be cool with it was not colin getting stuck in his own head about it! it was a direct response to the environment around him! gently caress you! gently caress off! stupid tv show!!! stupid!!!!

i support tottenham because i don't know how to be happyTyrantWD posted:Spain for example has 2 big teams that are several levels above anyone else in their league in terms of followers and resources. Germany, France and Italy have 1. i'm assuming you're talking about juventus here but i do not think inter and ac milan should be so easily dismissed. although inter milan's finances are kind of very hosed right now

yeah the show's pacing is completely hosed by the rewrites so it's just a bunch of weirdly stitched together scenes with a "CATHARSIS" sign occasionally lighting up above the stage. the moment between nate and his dad felt like it's been coming since the 1st season but it still managed to feel very half-baked. anyway i've given up expecting anything meaningful from the show so akufo coming back was truly a delightful surprise. laughed out loud more this episode than any other this season probably

lmao at them getting Pep in to give the most wooden fuckin delivery of the plot of the show as an inspirational message. obligatory gently caress manchester city. seeing Ted's reaction to his mum's stoic, unhealthy selflessness which he's inherited was fun. thanks to Mae for her recital of Larkin, Garth Marenghi would be proud. one of the better eps of the season (a low bar), but still subject to rewrite pacing hell. monster of the week except the monster is feelings also the football scenes they do are very funny to me because it's like watching a sunday league game

Lister posted:I was very surprised she was in this episode at all. Remember last week when she said she needed to go to poland? Why even bother putting that in? Was it so important to explain why she wouldn't be in the rest of that one, single episode? motivation to go back to his parent's place so he isn't alone but yeah weird how making an occasional bit character into a recurring character with influence on the plot without giving her any real interiority hasn't worked out very well huh

but he DID independently invent total football which requires an absolutely insane amount of physical conditioning which simply cannot be done in the middle of a season the way the show thinks

Data Graham posted:Why the hell did everyone lose their poo poo cheering when Ted said it was "perfect"? Was there some significance to the word "perfect" that I missed? they practised very hard on a thing they did for their soon-departing boss for whom they have a lot of affection, there's not a lot to it. diamond dogs were talking about julie andrews previously (i think roy said sound of music was his fav) i've been down on the season like everyone else but imo it was a cute scene

fwiw there's real life precedent for players wearing masks long after they need to (article is dated March 2023, he was still wearing it last game of the season for Napoli last month) https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/napoli-doctor-why-nigeria-forward-osimhen-still-wears-protective-mask/bltf37bc7c2c9da411e quote:[Victor Osimhen] sustained an eye socket injury during a Serie A match against Inter on November 22, 2021.

nate sadly died of a blood infection from a papercut he got while making a diorama of jade's childhood home, which she never disclosed the location of he is survived by his parents who are now the main characters of the show
