  • At this rate, when is Ted going to start humming the theme from MASH?  How much more suicide-related material can they gather around him?

    If Ted Lasso is the hug, Higgins is the "bring it in tight!"

    Part of me is thrilled he is getting so much attention and part of me is mad because I was the only person I knew who’d heard of him and loved him for years and now everyone is on the Brett bandwagon. 

    Yes, I am a 14 year old.

    and he sounds like the British Batman sometimes, which i think is a very underappreciated skill.

  • It's a tough call for favorite of the season between the feel good episode last week and the laughs this week. Roy continues to steal the show.
  • Oh, and Keely's relationship with Rebecca is such a wonderful font of great moments too.

    Her reaction to Rebecca gathering her power was priceless.

    @Hatorian Nah, that’s @Freddy.
    I wish I could say I wasn't Jamie Fucking Tartt, but I definitely am. It's a curse to be this talented and handsome. Btw, who's Roy Kent on this board? Because I really want to be Roy Kent (especially now that I know he's dated Gina Gershon), and I need some lessons. Lol.

    Also, I just started Loudermilk, and I'm basically Sam Loudermilk. Well you know... except I still drink and I definitely don't write.

    Has anyone come across articles from the UK having a whinge about Ted Lasso being (in part) an American interpretation/taking of their game/clubs/etc?  Please post links; I bet they're amusing to read.
  • If this was a real US interpretation of soccer culture then it would be the most boring show where only 1 or 2 things happen each episode…

    If I’m being perfectly honest…of all the characters on the show I’d say I’m more of a female Roy. Never crossed my mind not to be honest and I don’t have time to worry about people’s fucking feelings.

    damn, i really enjoyed that last episode. it's the most i've seen Roy Kent smile, so good!! my weekly Roy lol moment:

    Buying his ticket and grunting at the kid..

    Ticket Seller: "Good to see you back, Reba."

    Ticket Voucher #1: "Enjoy the game."

    Roy: 'Fuck you."

    Ticket Voucher #2: "It is you!"

    What was with that bit with the couple talking to camera? Are we meant to know how they are? Have they done that before?

    That was a nod to “When Harry Met Sally”.  If you haven’t seen it, they have little interviews like that disbursed throughout the movie.  Since this episode was romcom themed (Ted even talks about romcoms at the beginning of the ep), you see various little references throughout the ep, especially from Ted when he approaches Roy about coming back as a coach and later with Roy’s “you had me at ‘Coach’”.  Brilliant writing on this show.

    Btw did anyone catch when Rebecca was texting/messaging the guy she was talking to on the dating app, when Keeley tells her to just admit she owns the football club and Rebecca sends her message with a little smile, the next scene is a cut to Ted walking down the hallway and the immediate shot as they cut to him is him grinning while looking at his phone?  (longest question I’ve ever written)
    Does anyone think Rebecca’s mystery guy is actually Ted, and neither one knows it yet?
  • DeeDee Adelaide
    @Michelle Oh right. I got all the other rom com references but I haven’t seen When Harry Met Sally probably since it first came out on VHS, so I don’t remember anything much about it. 

    I think the phone thing is a fakeout. It seems too obvious for this show. At least, I hope it is - Rebecca and Ted make great friends, I don’t want to see them get together.

    The “Football is Life” podcast speculated it’s Coach Beard as he’s the most likely to quote Rilke.

    The podcast also noted his current relationship seems to be an on again, off again sort of thing, so he could be looking for love on the app. 
  • “Fuck you’re amazing. Let’s invade France” had me spitting

    Out of the existing cast, who will Rebecca end up on a date with because of the app?  I'd like it to be Sam because they had a nice interaction last season [...]

    I'm counting on Keeley to find a new sponsor or two.

    For those of you keeping score at home, that's like 50 ideas which didn't happen to 2 that did :-)
