As someone who doesn't really follow European soccer, what the hell is happening league wise? If they were relegated why were they playing Manchester city? Also, why were they all so in awe of the stadium, didn't they used to play there all the time?


They made it to the semis of the FA Cup. Wembley isn't somewhere Richmond players likely would have seen.

Interesting and that's pretty cool. I just assumed it was playoffs for their league.

Yeah, English soccer loves them some tournaments. No playoffs though.

The FA cup is open to all levels of English soccer. Premier league teams get byes through the early rounds. Wembly is not a home stadium for any team, but hosts big games and national team games iirc.

It would be like MLB holding a midseason tournament where minor league and major league teams could enter. The winner gets to go on to another tournament of baseball teams from other countries. It doesn't impact World Series standing.

4...and one of them may be outside the storyline, like the Christmas ep was.

Gracias.

Man, I was not ready for all the dad stuff this week. Agree that Sam and Rebecca are cute together but that has to become a scandal/issue, right? Also, Beard was giving off some weird vibes this episode. Hope they don't make him go against Ted in some way.

Agree. The next episode is "Beard After Hours" so it may be interesting to see where he wandered off to in the middle of London.

They thought the doctor got killed when the car hit her. I was worried about it, too, because I only started liking her as of the last episode.

I love this show, and 99% of what everyone has said about it, but this is the best post on this thread.

I think he's realizing that Ted's shtick may work at the college level with a bunch of kids, but doesn't translate to a bunch of pros.

Beard has had his moments against Ted and his happy-go-luckiness

Not sure this is entirely one since he offered for Ted to come, but his snarky "it is what it is" after Ted was very reminiscent of a scene in season one where he really gets mad at Ted for basically not caring enough to win.

Holy crap. I was not putting 2 & 2 together for "Dr. Fieldstone". I'm dumb.

I hope it is the one off episode and is just Beard doing crazy ass **** to blow off some steam. Like The Hangover with Coach Beard in London.

The show is quickly becoming the bizarro-breaking bad (and that is a good thing)

Good episode. The Rebecca-Sam romance is far fetched to me.

She is going to break her goddaughter's heart. Sassy's daughter had huge crush on Sam.

True! Yet another thing they could use to confuse Ted, as I assume they have to be near the promotion line at this point.

Rebecca is going to have to sell Sam to another team. A team sponsored by that oil company.

Would they? I thought I did the math at the Christmas episode and there was no way they were going up based on all of those ties. Maybe they just had no chance to finish first.

There's typically a lot of congestion around the cut line each season. They'd gotten points in all those draws and then went on the Roy Kent Effect winning streak, so I could see them being within striking distance.

Could make for some added drama. Need to secure promotion or they'll have to sell off some of our favorite characters. Like Colin. Or the Dutch guy.

Rupert is going to have fun with this one.

Yeah, the paparazzi is definitely going to be an issue. Maybe even Trent Crimm will be brought back.


Or maybe this will be the beginning of the end for Rebecca and her ownership of the club.
