Based on the USA Soccer guy shorts I find it strangely heartwarming. Ted's attitude is infectious and when the gruff older player realises he's been played like a fiddle is great!

I thought Ep 4 was a little slow but Ted’s effect on everyone he comes across is amazing to see. And Anthony Head plays a sleazeball so well.

Agreed, it was just horrible, a terrible mistake on the part of the producers.
So from what I’ve read they had ten Episodes all written and ready to go but Apple said they wanted twelve episodes this season so the Christmas ep and Coach Beard got added. I didn’t mind the coach beard one at all. fk off Thierry Henry!

They’ve ruined this by forgetting it’s about football, with Scrubs we had the relationship stuff but always with a medical core. He’s lost his touch.
I don’t think it’s ever really been about football. I’d go so far as to say it’s not even a sports comedy, the football is almost an after thought.

That’s interesting.

I was beginning to feel the writers were getting bored with the show. Usually that’s when they start writing ‘special’ episodes. Just churning out filler to keep it going. Helps to know they had an excuse.

On balance I still enjoy watching it. I actually though the funeral episode had a few good laughs. But not sure I will bother if it returns for a 3rd series.
Already confirmed for a third and likely final series.

With respect to Goldstein playing Bond, I watched Thor Love and Thunder recently and at the very end I seem to recall that he appears as Hercules.
Quite a few of the cast have gone on to great things. Hannah W is FOTM in loads of places and is hosting awards and doing loads of appearances. Brett Goldstein is like gold dust at the moment too. I can see a few others turning up in more to series too.
