If anyone it was Jamie that was the bimbo. 

You got so mad you had to comment twice, huh.

Keely Jones is heavily based on model/actress Keeley Hazell, who is now a staff writer on the third season of the show in addition to playing Rupert’s new wife Bex. I wonder if there is a real life analogue to the character of Jack that inspired the character.

I use to watch middle-age men get into physical fights while playing in a Friday night, “for-fun” indoor league.  I saw wives get into fights in the stands for that same league....and there would be maybe 10 people watching each game.  Emotions run high in sports, they run REALLY high in soccer/football.

Yes, and it’s nice to see since he is maturing and becoming a better man. 

Keeley’s reevaluating Jamie, it should be mentioned.

The restaurant hostess has had Nate nailed spot on since her first appearance.

Honestly just casting Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca accounts for so much of the success of the show IMO

it’s a show where sometimes women talk to each other, it’s a safe bet there’s been at least one period joke

Two random observations I had:

Nate’s always been a sad, insecure little man - even when we liked him in S1.

The announcers mention that Zava was the only one who didn’t lose the plot, and instead managed a great goal!

She took a back seat and watched everything unfolding around her. I thought it was a subtle portrayal of a successful investor that was checking up on how her investment is going.

It wasn’t just the Grindr mention in s2. As someone pointed out on reddit, in season 1 episode 3, during the scene where Roy goes to confront Jaime at the club, you can briefly see Colin chatting up a guy. I’m sure there are other blink and you’ll miss it moments that we’ve, well, missed. This show seems to have long…

The satirization was one level, then they referenced youtubing his best goals [a worthy way to pass the time], then tried in their Hollywood magic way, to re-enact some of Zlatan’s most iconic goals.  Bottom line, youtube Zlatan’s best goals.

This is actually the final season of Ted Lasso so you’re right that Zava won’t last more than one season

The Colin subplot made me immediately think of whoever it was at the AV Club who heard his Grindr mention in S1 and guessed he was gay. I hope that this doesn’t get ugly for him, because Colin’s one of my favorite characters (laughed myself silly when Marcus Mumford started up with the theme song as Colin was driving…

I suspect the show will not make much of Colin’s secret, and if/when it’s revealed, the team will be just fine with it.  I’m not sure how aggressively heterosexual it was to be talking about their favorite Julie Andrews role in a thirsty setting when they were all also fully agreeing that they’d be quite fluid above…

Can someone explain the ‘more knots than Waynes World One and Two put together’ line? I usually understand Ted’s pop culture wordplay but despite having seen Wayne’s World, I didn’t get it. 

The shirt was a “Zava & Zava & Zava & Zava” shirt, which is actually much funnier.
