[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things I could have done without:
Beard getting off the plane - why couldn't they have just shown Beard and Ted having a heart to heart where Beard says he's staying? 
Nate - the entire season

While I loved the show, and loved the ending, I think this season they tried to jam in too much and added so many more storylines of the secondary characters so it all got diluted. I would have preferred more Sam, more Beard, more Rebecca. Less Nate, less Colin and less Keely and her love life. [/quote]

Funny but Nate, Trent, Sam are my favorite characters. I hated more than anything that Pep and Man City were featured on the show. It's so bandwagonny and if you know anything about Pep, he is the exact opposite of Ted and is not a good guy. They team is going to be penalized next season for the years of cheating that was uncovered. I wish there was more about soccer.

I loved that Rebecca ran in to the cool Dane.[/quote]

Why so down on Pep, PP?  He does not have a reputation as a bad guy at all.  Now, I obviously don't know him personally so I have no idea what kind of person he really is, but he's seemingly well-loved by his players and former players, and is popular with players and managers from other teams.  He's gracious in his media obligations and is well-liked by reporters for giving candid and interesting press conferences. He very clearly has a sense of humor.  Some top-level managers have a reputation (fairly or unfairly) for being difficult and obnoxious, but Pep isn't one of them.

The current Premier League charges against Manchester City (Pep's team) haven't yet been proven, and may never be.  Similar charges against the club by UEFA were ultimately dismissed as unproven.  But regardless of the merits, the charges are complex financial and accounting charges and have nothing to do with Pep.  He's not implicated and neither are his players, and there are no playing-related allegations.  Pep is not responsible for negotiating Manchester City's sponsorship deals and accounting for the resulting revenue.

Is Pep like Ted Lasso in being more interested in the personal well-being of his players than in winning?  Of course not.  And neither is any other Premier League manager or professional coach.  There is a reason why Ted is a (much-loved) fictional character!

As a big fan of the Premier League, I love the little nods to real Premier League teams and players that have appeared throughout the three seasons of Ted Lasso.  Like the bubbles at West Ham matches, Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park stadium as AFC Richmond's stadium, Roy Kent as Roy Keane, and Zava as Zlatan.  And I liked Pep's cameo at Etihad Stadium!
