I'm talking his immediate circle. That's why he always is on social media looking for validation, because those closest to him weren't giving it to him


And if you go back and look, all the validation quotes only had 0-3 likes on twitter. Seemed like not many people in the real world believe in him.

Two more. Got all the side characters mostly wrapped up, so here come the major Ted and Rebecca episodes.

How much time was supposed to have passed between the last two episodes? They mentioned a 10 game winning streak, which adds up to somewhere around 6-8 weeks depending on where they are in the season, but also I don't know if that streak was active when the previous episode's events took place.
Was just rewatching ep 9 and they mention an 8 game streak when toasting the Brighton & Hove Albion match.

Just realized Beard's mispronunciation of Johan Cruyff's name in his Total Football video, before pronouncing it better almost instantly, was probably a ruse so Jan Maas wouldn't think Beard spoke Dutch after Will found out Beard spoke Dutch in Amsterdam.

I kept waiting for Ted to show up at Nate's house the whole episode. Glad that he didn't though.

Loved Rebecca's speech about soccer… almost as much as Higgin's remarks about chocolate factories.

Jamie has been such a wonderful character to watch progress this series. Coming to Uncle's Day, checking in on Keeley and then Sam, wearing 24; just a lot of work to show his progress.
As loose as this show plays with actual soccer, I was surprised that her speech is exactly the way the English think and spot on with what happened with the Super League.

I don't see a scenario where Nate can come back to the team after the way he left, but I do like that they show him attempting to make amends for genuine reasons.
I think he gets hired on at a different club.
I can see it happening easily. Ted still has a soft spot for Nate. On his way out, he gives a long speech about forgiveness and redemption and asks the team to take him back and they do so.
A cool story arc with this one is Rule #4 of Total Football.

"Forgiveness"

The "Football is Life" podcast referenced a 4 hour documentary called "The War for Football" available on Apple TV+ for anyone curious about the story of the Super League. Four hours.

Ok, so,still catching up, but I mentioned Raindrops from Butch Cassidy in 6, 7 had the great escape music when they were passing the water bottle around in the locker room. Really should go back through the earlier episodes this season because I'm sure there is more.

Ummmm.... spoiler alert but.. I had to puase at this part S3E11 related.....

now Beard and Ted are playing a Wizard of Oz pinball machine!!!

Don't know what any of that means but it's interesting.

Is Ted Dorothy or the Wizard? I think Dorothy and Beard is Toto.

Jamie with the motional meltdown is the lion who lacks courage?
Roy is the Tin Man who needs a heart?
who is the scarecrow who needs a brain? maybe Nate?

And Dorothy (Ted) needs all three of those virtues to get back home to Kansas.

Who is the Wizard though? Rebecca? His Mom?

TBD

Man, last week was such an odd episode.

- Nate quitting because…. reasons??
- The odd music scene with Nate playing the somber song on the violin.
- Rebecca seeing herself and the owners as little kids.
- Danny being an ******* out of nowhere with no explanation.
- Roy's sister looking absolutely nothing like her daughter.
- Keeley not taking Roy back at first and then them sleeping together.
- Keeley and the CFO's friendship.

Just seemed like they skipped a bunch of steps to get to the end game they want.

Brilliant episode. Really poignant in a lot of ways.

Don't even mind the seemingly too easy forgiveness of Nate. Except by Beard and then that ends up being incredible. What a story about him and Ted.

Two laugh out loud moments for me as well
1. the Keeley poster in Jamie's room
2. stealing a loaf of meth

Another great episode. So many different things going on.

Anyone think Roy and Keely in that tunnel with the flickering lights was a reference to Harry Potter?

Whole episode was just phenomenal.

Only question I have is who takes over….Roy or Nate?

I'm guessing Roy. Nate will just be happy to be the assistant and Roy will be happy to have him because as he said Nate is good at the **** he isn't.

This is the third time I've said this season that's the best episode of the season.

Dare I say this season is as good as the first? I'm saying it.

I had tears trickling down three times this episode.

As Roy Kent would say, This show is ****ing brilliant.

Very strong episode. Love it when the story is centered around the team and the. Goes out from there. Focusing on the core of the cast really helps too.

There's a lot left for the last episode.

I don't think they're trying to trick the audience.

Just turn your brain off and enjoy the show.

Great episode. I thought the last scene with Ted and his mom was a little clunky and forced, but that's a small thing.

They did a great job with Jamie's dad. First you think he's just being an ******* somewhere, then briefly think he's dead based on the fan comments, then see him in what I assume was rehab. Amazing work

Good one. Of course they have a ratatouille moment with the bread

I love the way it's wrapping up. This show for me has just been so much fun to watch and a fun break from the world when I needed it probably more than I admitted to myself. Loved finally getting the story about Beard and Ted, maybe Ted's final lesson to teach him was Beard having that conversation with a man who viciously attacked the man who gave him a life.

For such a heartwarming show, I love how honest it is about the tough things and how people struggle.

The mullet that Roy had on the poster was fantastic!

Also, Ted being embarrassed by his mom's personality (which is exactly like his) was pretty great.

For me, this one was as good as the Christmas episode.

Highlights…

Keely and Roy's reaction to seeing Jamie with his mom.

Jamie's stepdad is super nice AND Jamie has evidently not been a total dick to him in the past?

The posters!

Ted's mom charming the hell out of everyone.

Jade actually really cares about Nate and he's grown enough to accept her intervention in the spirit it was intended.

Jamie's physical and mental/emotional comeback in the game.

Beard's Les Mis backstory.

All of it was magic. I'll rewatch this one someday when I'm sad.

I'm currently in the process of relocating to Sydney for a few years and am here right now, their emphasis on the Australians having the sex and not Ted's mom was hysterical.

Soooo many Wizard of Oz references this episode. Just layers of character growth that all are hitting perfectly.

Really excited that they're potentially going to stick the landing with this.

What do y'all think the mistresses wanted to talk to Rebecca about?
