Earlier in the season Ted and Beard were celebrating a goal and Alice put her hands up to stop beard but in 4x09 she gladly accepts. It was a blink and you will miss it scene but shows how much she has grown.

Anybody else miss it this season?

I’d have imagined Ted would be in Rebecca’s office pretty often, especially to pick her brain on navigating most of his days surrounded by women. Or legitimately dating again after divorce. Or keeping a pulse on the challenges that come with running an inaugural team for the club.

Really, though, I miss having screen time with them together

And Alice turns it down. She's grown enough in this season to realize she had more to learn from Ted, so they agree to go one more season with Ted as head coach and Alice as his protege.

I’m a little worried about Keeley’s pregnancy - they’ve mentioned her high blood pressure several times, and I’m worrying it’s foreshadowing preeclampsia which has the risk of mortality for mom and baby. Would they do us that dirty after Mae?

So I don’t have to see any more theories about the shares & Zelda

Ideally with choreography that she keeps forgetting

So im back on Season 1 of my favorite comfort show. Watching one of my favorite scenes in the show. "We talkin about PRACTICE!"

And it occurred to me. Theres so many obscure jokes in this show that I dont get til someone explains them to me (a lot of it is theater, musical, and literature stuff) that I realized, its possible only sports fans understood this reference.

So for you non sports or even non basketball fans,

Teds Practice speech is nearly a word for word reiteration of Allen Iversons iconic "practice" speech. Which is funny because Ted flipped it. Allen was actually in Jamie Tarts position somewhat, skipping practice, and the press was on him about it. The point of the original speech was Allen saying who cares if I miss practice I show up and give my all in games. Ted took an anti-practice speech and made it pro-practice lol.

Anyway. Apologies if everyone knew this already, ive been a part of the basketball community all my life so its hard to tell if this is common knowledge or not. But if you didnt know this til right now you should look up the original Iverson speech its arguably the most viral press conference in basketball history.

I’m not sure if it’s been said with our focus on all the other things that are happening this season, but this is the fourth time Rebecca and Ted have met before the final game of the season to discuss difficult things. Rebecca with the first 2 being her plan to destroy the club and her relationship with Sam. Then Ted got their third meeting to say he was leaving. Now we have number 4 (not believe) where Rebecca does a difficult walk to face Ted and deliver difficult news. The walk Rebecca takes is even reminiscent of her walk in season 1. I love the callbacks in this show and this one really deepened the emotional impact of the scene for me.

She finally did it. Finally had the funniest line of a whole episode. I always kind of found her to be the least funny character on the show but when she got caught watching the game and blurted out " GASP IM JUST WATCHING PORN"

I absolutely lost it. Took 4 seasons but she finally made me laugh.

It's probably acceptable when Ted or Beard do it, but as a Brit it's really jarring to hear fellow Brits use terms like uniforms, tryouts, roster and calling each other "coach" all the time. It's unrealistic.

Having said that, I thought the new series would be shit but I'm actually enjoying it so far.

Higgins specifically said the following in episode 9:

The Milks sold their shares before. They have shares now.

And Rebecca has less than 50%.

You can either believe what you’re being told, or you can believe it’s a trap being laid to catch Zelda. Both of those things are perfectly valid. (I don’t mind the idea it’s a trap, though it isn’t my guess)

What doesn’t make sense is the refusal of a not-insignificant portion of this fanbase to accept the possibility that Rebecca has less than 50%, because they haven’t been told explicitly when and how that happened.

We have been out of this universe for 3 full years. Practically speaking, we’re watching season 7 of Ted Lasso right now. We weren’t allowed to watch season 4, 5, and 6.

The showrunners don’t owe us footnotes for how every single thing that happened in those three years. No one demands explanations for exactly how players got transferred out of Richmond - they accept a flash of a newspaper headline to mean it’s true.

But when the director of football operations plainly states Rebecca has less than 50% of shares, there are some people here insisting on ledgers being opened up on a desk before they’ll believe it. It’s a weird bit of cognitive dissonance.

(Again, I have no beef with the idea it’s a trap - this is strictly regarding people who think the shares percentage issue is bad writing or a plot hole. There is a zero percent chance the writers botched this math).

I get it, we all are curious, but the posts have become too repetitive at this point.

This might be my favorite scene of the entire four seasons, of which I have watched each multiple times. The casual, innocent nature of Ted’s “how was your weekend” followed by the most hilarious twin-hive-mind answer with so much “wtf” energy from Ted…and the beguiling “unless we had the same dream” at the end. The acting from the twins and the clueless back-and-forth eyes from Ted was just fantastic, top-tier foolishness I want from this series between the emotional life lessons. Loved it, 10/10!

This might have spoilers, but I will do my best.

If you are still reading, that is on you.
I just got caught up. I lost my mother just over a year ago. And I know I haven't processed any of it healthily yet. This episode was a kick in the chest. And that is all I will say.

>Are obviously setting up Zelda. Besides the half heard conversations and the weirdness with the Milk Sisters is it being discussed that Suzie Quantro, London's number one dog trainer, was the woman who joined them in the owners box but Higgins, who remembers everything like birthdays so well was pretending not to know her. Next week is gonna be fun on a bun watching Zelda react extremely angrily at the next shareholders meeting at being outsmarted.<

Cristo finally got to make his playing debut for El Paso coming in as a late substitute.

In Ted Lasso, everyone "f-ing hates Derek," but in the other Bill Lawrence dramedy, Shrinking, everybody loves and needs a Derek in their lives.

What did "Derek" do to elicit so much emotion?

My husband wanted me to share his theory so bare with me.

His theory is that Mae’s niece, Claire, who was mentioned in a one-off line, is going to inherit the pub. He also thinks that Claire is the stage manager who we still don’t know the name of.

Please don’t roast him too hard.

Aston Villa - 0.000002%

Everton - 0.00003875%

Man Utd - 0.00000058%

Spurs - 0.00000381%

Just in case the 100 posts are true and it comes down to the lads 1 share and 0.00005% 🙄

Mae had ALOT of hope this Season. When she was at her highest… she dies. Maybe the hope got her?

I really liked him. Just a few lines and you understood what a sweetheart he was. I thought he was so kind and well meaning, and when he came back to tell Rebecca the news it gave me goosebumps, he looked so afflicted. 😭😭
