howe_sam posted:everything about how Rebecca pumps herself up for meetings from the way the shot was framed to Keeyley's reaction to it. I also remain fascinated by what they're doing with Nate because he's the lone discordant note on the SS AFC Richmond good times boat. Nate has been fascinating this whole season. For me, he's been cutting the saccharine feeling that a lot of people have been understandably complaining about. Especially since a major part of his arc is that nobody is quite paying attention to his changes while that exact attention is being extended to everyone else. I definitely feel there's a breaking point approaching.

Like someone said, it could just be the 152nd person in London to start using it as it's relatively new or it's just random numbers and letters.

Apparently in You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan's username was "shopgirl" and Tom Hanks' was "NY152" I like the idea it's Beard

I rewatched S1 ahead of this season and I don't think there were many high stakes. Sure it seemed like Rebecca was out to ruin everything but it got resolved with no drama. The only real villian of S1 was Rupert and he was defeated by a game of darts. The personal stuff between the staff/players was much bigger part of the show and I think we are still getting the same level. Now I have my only comment about this week: Roy continues to be the best.

Rewatched e5 tonight, I think when they get to the scene when Ted sits finally sits down with Dr. Fieldstone it’s going to be a big one. early on she takes notes after his “rom-com/everything always works out in the end” and then she stops him again before the Sheffield game and follows his “Under Pressure” Ted-ism, when previously she’d just be confused. She is understanding him now, and based on her “I’m twice as good at my job as you are at your job” line, I think she’s going to dissect him at some point with a big catharsis moment for Ted that allows him to lead the team to a championship/etc.

This episode they casually mention the team could get relegated out of the Championship and it doesn't seem to bother anyone the same despite this being worse. It is already hard enough for them to justify their current roster in the league they are in but if they fell into an even lower league keeping most of the roster or any coaches wouldn't make sense. I'm sure the back half of the season will deal with this, it just feels odd atm. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Aug 22, 2021 |

This is another thing thrown into weirdness by the Christmas episode where they showed their record as 4-4-11, which is not great but not in serious relegation danger. For reference the relegation zone in the Championship last year started at 43 points, Richmond's record less than halfway into the season has them with 23. I did appreciate this episode doing The Sheffield Wednesday Joke.

The only real villian of S1 was Rupert and he was defeated by a game of darts. The stakes of S1 was that Ted Lasso was this pure alien flower of positivity that was going to be broken by the harsh realities of the previously on-going soap-opera he had found himself in. The entire premise of the show is that he's so charming that instead he changes everyone else. The villain of season 1 was cynicism itself, as a concept. S2, who knows.

I don't think that this stretch of "nothing matters, be happy" will last. I think the show is setting the audience up to be in as much denial as the characters. All these happy episodes make us complacent until the other shoe drops. Ted's speech about the team being in a fairy tale and that everything will work out for them was a little on the nose.

I ahlf expected the Christmas episode to end with Beard coming back, looking like he just left Burning Man and saying "so you know that Pagan festival, turns out its a marriage ceremony, and its legal in England, so..."

Maybe I misheard, but I thought conversation in the episode was about how the team is doing now, post relegation, not saying they were in danger of it happening again?

I thought they were like halfway through the season though? With sufficient time to claw their way back up? I'm also assuming we're literally following Ted's plan from the end of season one when he says they'll get a promotion, which looks good on any resume. Maybe I'm naive.

Since they haven't been getting wins, I'm guessing they are in the bottom half of whatever league they are in right now. Depending on how many seasons they plan on doing, I'm guessing the finale for the whole show will be them being promoted back into the premier league. And everyone pats themselves on the backs.

I remember 3 seasons being the magic number, in part because Jason Sudeikis doesn't want to schlep to the UK for half the year in perpetuity.

If it's 3 seasons, then I'm guessing they pull out a few wins this season to be able to stay in this league, and then next season they win a bunch and get promoted back to premier league.

I want to say the championship plays 40-something games a year (it's been a while since I forayed into the English leagues in FM), as far as we know they started with 8 draws, then started losing. I'm not sure they've actually said how many games they've played up to this point but it seems like there's plenty of time left to dig themselves out. They'd need top 6 to get to the promotion playoff. If they started like 0-8-8 that'd be one hell of a run of wins to get there most seasons

There are 46 games in a Championship season and the Christmas episode showed results for 19, they’re not even halfway in yet.

One of the guys on the sports show specifically mentions the team looking too loose or happy for being on the business end of the relegation zone. I wonder how much time passed between the most recent episode and the Christmas one.

How does promotion/relegation work? Does it happen every single year? Or only if there is a team good/bad enough to trigger that function?

Inspector 34 posted:How does promotion/relegation work? Does it happen every single year? Or only if there is a team good/bad enough to trigger that function? Bottom 3 go down no matter what. In the Football League (Championship/League 1/League 2 yes it's confusing) the top 2 are automatically promoted, then 3rd to 6th play in the playoffs for the 3rd promotion spot. So every year 3 teams go down into the league below them, the top 2+playoffs winners go up to replace them. So in the real world last year, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League. They were replaced by Norwich City, Watford and playoffs winners Brentford. The English football league pyramid as it's known is big, so a team has to fall a long way before hitting the bottom. Below the 3 Premier League and Football League divisions are the National League and below that are various more regional leagues, including the almighty National League North where my hometown team Hereford FC play. The level of league also dictates what additional tournaments teams are eligible for, this is why the FA Cup is such a glorious competition. It's open to literally any team in the professional system no matter how far down they are. njsykora fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Aug 23, 2021 |
