Nate is a troubled, little petty man.

Rewatched Season 2 and the way he threatened his replacement as equipment manager (if you do anything wrong, you're out of here) foreshadows his descent into the dark side.

It is somewhat understandable, given his relationship with a father who was incapable of expressing affirmation or appreciation to Nate (remember the "window dining" exchange)?

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Yep, he's definitely a POS little man. However, I'm pretty confident he redeems himself in the end. Predict that he will the the linch pin in the events that lead to Ruperts downfall.

Everybody loves a good redemption story. I'm just not sure with the "brick on brick on brick" character development they've given us on Nate that he can make that turn.

Yes, this is a feel good show and because of that they're going to do some fan service and let Richmond win the whole effing thing. My season prediction is Richmond gets a third ace. They clearly planted that seed with Higgins and Rebecca talking about who else can we get. Richmond goes on an incredible run and is threatening to maybe win at all. And then trope sets in with injury, or some other 'oh noes!', where they can't use their new ace to win the championship and have to rely on belief and teamwork. Final game Danny passes to Jamie, who passes to Sam O to score the winning goal to knock off West Ham.

Maybe, except I think Bill Lawrence as the show runner makes me think the ending will be happy but not fairy tale perfect. So I don't see them winning the league.

I enjoyed the episode, but I'm not a staunch critic. I can't tell if Nate will actually be redeemed. The more Ted responds above board, the more Nate descends into anger. He can't stand that Ted is so unfazed by his attacks. Meanwhile, Rupert, for now, is giving him all the love he could ever want.

I suppose that's going to be the catalyst. Nate and West Ham will lose or something and Rupert will show his true self.

I honestly hope Nate isn't redeemed. It would make the show a little too sickly sweet if it tries to make it seem like you can save everyone.

Respectfully, I think that is one of the show's major premises.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

If they want to be somewhat realistic, they can have Richmond finish top 4 and qualify for the Champions League. Although still highly unlikely for a newly promoted team, it is a much more reasonable feat than winning the whole thing in their first year back up and still a massive accomplishment.

Maybe they beat West Ham on the final matchday to knock them down to 5th.

Rupert is going to screw over Nate. Ted will continue to take the high ground and further put Nate in a spiral until Rupert royally screws him over. I predict things won't end well for Nate the Great

I think Nate gets redemption, but it's not a fairy tale ending for anyone.

They hinted at that pretty heavily in the S3 trailer using the Stones song. Plus that just isn't the Bill Lawrence way. Bittersweet resolutions are his MO

i think if Nate is redeemed, Ted would probably say that's far more important than winning the league.

so i'm not a soccer guy, but does it make sense that everyone is expecting Richmond to finish last?

they had a chance to avoid relegation in season 1, so doesn't that mean they weren't the last place team in the premier league? and they've only gotten better since then, so why would people just assume they're going to be the worst team?

3 teams each season are relegated. 18-19-20th place
3 teams are promoted. The top 2 teams in Championship league are promoted. 3-6 go to a playoff and the winner gets promoted.

Season 1, they finished 18th.

Typically, the teams that are promoted are relegated and they bounce back and forth between the EPL and Championship.

It's a better joke to say that they'll be 20th because there aren't 21 teams.

Totally agree. I think he needs to pay for his ******* behavior and not get easy redemption.

My take is Nate gets fired mid-season after an epic PO'd rant by Rupert. AFC Richmond staves of relegation by beating West Ham. Nate gives some sort of tactical info to Ted to help in the victory.

Ranger fans you're not dreaming! The Rangers are the World Series Champions!

So... basically... Nate will beat Ted heads up at some point and make a reference to being Ted's father. However, in the end, Nate will throw out Rupert over the balcony when he realizes how he was used/Ted is a good guy.

Minor, but a first half goal in the 46th minute? It's not hard to have someone on staff to prevent this.

Nope. 45+ if stoppage. 46th minute always 2nd half.

Maybe on the official score sheet, but announcers call it the 46th / 47th minute in live action all the time

Great episode!

The scene in the locker room going back and forth between Zava and Trent Crimm was hilarious.

In the scene where Roy tells nobody to talk to Trent and walks off and slam la the door it looks like Jamie breaks in that scene. Intentional or not it was great.

"I forgot how skittish elderly people could be. Because of the war."

"I haven't been this nervous to play in front of someone since I was in El Chapo's youth league"

"We are so unoffensive we might as well be a hallmark Christmas movie"

The Trent Crimm / Roy scene was great. And his talk at the end. His speech definitely parallels his relationship with Keeley too. He quit instead of enjoying himself.

Higgins ridiculous football sources were fun too.

Loved this episode.

Yes but the graphic going into halftime would absolutely never show a goal as the 46th minute.

Plothole: if Roy had such an issue with Trent Crimm, he would've never let him tag along to Phoebe's school in season 1.

I feel like ATMag.

My only regret in this episode is they should've had Pulisic playing.

But I guess in this world, all the players are fictional.

Now I'm questioning it in my head. Would it show

Curtis Blow 45+2'?

While true, they're not a player if they're not playing. They're former players.
