I think the threesome concept will have to live on in its devotees’ fan fiction. Not my place to judge but I think they made the right choice with Keeley choosing herself instead of either or both of the dudes.

The show wasn’t about Ted and also wasn’t about football. People who thought that, including critics, had issues with the third season. I thought it was great.

I’d love to see a spin-off just called AFC Richmond that’s about everyone else. It’s the other characters and their journeys we really love anyway. Ted was just our window into that world. 

Season 4, episode 1, scene 1: A Funeral

Honestly, a three-season arc about Keely starting a team would work, but also I’d be fine watching another three seasons of Roy learning to channel his inner Ted Lasso, and renaming the show “The Richmond Way.” But, either way, the answer’s right there in the finale.

Kendall Roy is Amazon’s Jack Reacher when compared to Josh Hawley. (I will never accept Cruise as that character).

“In our heads, they’re a successful throuple because that’s at least what they (and we) deserve.”

I’m not sure I like Juno Temple enough to follow a AFC Women’s spin off, but it would be the most admirable take on the idea of doing more.

Hannah Worthington and Juno Temple to me were the stars of the show. But Roy Kent was the best character 

Van Damme/Zorreaux: ‘I would now like to be referred to as “Ted Lasso”’.

Rebecca is the star of the show anyway. I smell spinoff.

I’ll take the MULTIPLE nods to Cheers over the course of the series as a sign that Sudeikis thinks fondly of his uncle George. (And recognizes Cheers as one of the GOAT sitcoms of course.)

Easter egg: notice in the ending montage that Mae (in the bar) straightens a photo on the wall of Geronimo. Sam Malone did the exact same thing to honor Coach in the finale of Cheers.

I noticed a distinct difference in maturity level driving reactions to the show. The yoots wanted Ted and Rebecca to get together and everything tied in one big bow. And now they’re pouting. If they watch again in 10 years I think their reactions will be different. (Kind of like my 20-something and then 30-something…

In the flash forward it seemed like he was back up to being assistant coach. But I appreciated that they didn’t immediately bring Nate back into the coaching team. After who he became as assistant coach at Richmond and manager at West Ham, he needed to go back to his roots and embrace just being Nate again so he could…

Truly the most realistic part of the entire three season run.

Hey, maybe you might want to read the news for a bit.

Two little moments I really loved - Ted *finally* showing some soccer knowledge by being the only one of the coaches to notice that one of the West Ham players was offsides and the goal wouldn’t count, and Dr. Sharon’s nameplate at the end of the episode, showing her new (I think) title as head of emotional support…

Starting from the beginning, the fact that the show decided to do the Ted/Rebecca fakeout only to find out that it was due to other issues was well-done, if a bit frustrating on first watch. It felt like “Oh, they are gonna do this” and even with Beard coming out, I still wasn’t sure the gas leak was mentioned.

It was the perfect end for this show.
