Interesting they made no mention of Champions league. I guess they didn't want to confuse the average American.
Don't know if it'll play into the story or not, but Man City also need to lose or draw for Richmond to with the championship.jeffk said:
Okay, here's another question for the room: Regarding the soccer season, do you think Richmond
A) wins the final game and the league championship
B) loses the final game and the championship
C) it's left ambiguous
I think the writers are going to hit us with a FNL montage ending. Outcome of the game might be alluded to but not obvious/happening on screen and then we see characters moving on with their next steps while some dramatic music (or maybe a Trent Crimm voiceover) plays in the background.

They said before the match that City were 4 points ahead. So they would still be 1 point ahead with 1 game to play.

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?

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?
Those are Australian backpackers probably on a gap year.bthotugigem05 said:
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.
Pretty funny that we got a lesbian soccer relationship disaster story in a show about a men's side.Scriffer said:G Martin 87 said:
I've had no problem with Nate's arc. He's struggled with feelings of inadequacy since the beginning of the show; it's been clear that he's been uncomfortably searching for his identity throughout the first 2 seasons. He thought he could be ruthless in season 3, but realized that it's an empty kind of life by being around Rupert instead of Ted. My only complaint is that the season's structure hasn't allowed everyone's story to breathe a bit more.
Agree with this, and it's why I'm frustrated with the Keely situation. Almost two episodes' worth of runtime on her and Jack that went nowhere, and she's really no different now than before.
That time could have been used much more effectively

I was wondering if that was the tunnel that Jamie's dad and friends kicked Coach's butt and if it was going somewhere.

Was really hoping Roy would tell Jamie his mom was fit.
I think Ted's moms story is super important here. He obviously takes after his mom, since he lost his dad when he was young. I feel like because she never address the loss of her husband, she use humor and "faking it till she made it" as a defense mechanism.HollywoodBQ said:
Didn't care for Nate or Ted's Mom stories.
Loved the entire Jamie story. Maybe too much.
Best part was after seeing Roy's poster on the wall, closing the door to reveal Keeley's poster.
I could definitely relate to Jamie losing his spark. The past 3 years of Covid in Los Angeles have killed the drive I had pre-2020.
In the opening sequence, I loved the old lady walking down the street in a nice dress in the morning, carrying her heels from last night. Used to see that all the time in Sydney.
nah that's just the way mom's are. Embellishment for a good story.CowtownAg06 said:
She also seems like a pathological liar.

Well, and the tunnel for the Beard post-FA cup episode where he gets jumped is in London and not Manchester…

He definitely wiped off his desk and put away a mirror.
Also Ted had a Roy Kent like drawn out fuuuuuudge.

Sorry, I don't watch the show with the forensic eye that some of you do.
Thank you for pointing out my geographical error.
F you for pointing it out.

Yeah, my mom mixes up and subs in random details into all her stories about me. Not a liar, just mom-memory.
That scene is actually brilliant when you think how far Ted has come for him to say what he really thinks. He has realized that a large part of his panic attacks and anger derived from his mom's inability to be honest with him. This was the only internal block left for Ted to resolve in my opinion. Him missing his son is the other part which has been hinted at throughout the show.Southlake said:
Only part I winced every time Ted said F you to his mom. I get it, it's a show but man, I can't even imaging someone saying that to their mom.
