** The specific horror of this is dowplayed, however, when one thinks about the fact that substance abuse can prematurely age a person. James could easily be in his forties (a comparable age to Georgie, if she gave birth to Jamie in her twenties) and just look older.

The fact that Nate manages to impress Jade with his assertiveness in that episode also becomes more impressive in hindsight, knowing that Jade is ''not'' easily impressed and can spot fakes a mile away, as seen when she doesn't regard him as well after his FaceHeelTurn in Season 3 before he defends the restaurant.

This would mean his grandmother cut him off until she died all because his team got relegated when he was a teenager playing what was almost certainly his first season as a professional. No wonder the guy has trouble feeling strong and capable.

* Richmond's Season 3 winning streak is set to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8 Prisencolinensinainciusol]]" by Adriano Celentano. The lyrics sound like they could be American English but are clearly gibberish once listeners start paying attention. This is reflective of the team's performance -- Richmond looks to be in good shape but close look would show that a good chunk of the roster is actually underperforming and that the surge is being driven entirely by one player, Zava, which is indicative of deep problems that need to be addressed.

Considering how stable his marriage is compared to all the other relationships seen in the series, his gagging was him reacting to something he was unfamiliar and uncomfortable with: a toxic relationship.

Whether it was 2014 or 2019, Colin already knew he was gay -- if his own grandmother could hate him for a relegation, what would she do if she found out what he was?

* Beard revealing that he went to prison explains a lot of why he is such a private person, especially in comparison to Ted. Beard has a lot more to hide than Ted does, and likely doesn't want to cause people to scrutinize him or Ted for something in his past. He doesn't even tell Trent where he's from until after he sees Roy committing the tie-dye look, since seeing Roy loosen up inspired Beard to do the same.

Cartrick was Jamie's manager back when Jamie was on loan to Richmond by Manchester City and right before Rebecca fired Cartrick. With Jamie being the team's undisputed star player during that period, it's natural that Cartrick would be fond of him back then and to this day.

Another hint towards his standards came a few episodes prior, when Isaac ran into the stands to confront an unruly fan; Cartrick called him out for it and asserted that there are lines that should not be crossed. The audience likely saw him as a jerk for it, but he established himself there as a stickler for the rules in spite of his negative attitude.

This occurs after he spends the season learning to be honest with himself and face emotional moments directly rather than deflecting. Meaning, as Ted opens himself up to his pain and vulnerability, he's also opening himself up to the rules and intricacies of soccer rather than joking about how funny and strange it seems.

* Ultimately, the "Believe" sign isn't replaced with a new one. Instead, Nate repairs it with gold glitter glue, putting it back together but highlighting where it had been damaged. This is in reference to the art of Kintsugi, a Japanese method of repairing broken ceramics with precious metals to acknowledge the damage as part of an object's history and to show that something broken can be fixed and continue to have value. It also serves as a visual representation of character journeys, including:
** Nate doesn't achieve redemption in his Season 3 arc. Instead, he achieves catharsis -- an emotional cleansing. His betrayals aren't forgiven in any way, but he and those around him let go their resentments and hard feelings to move forward, heal their relationships and grow stronger as a result.
** Jamie admits that his entire career was built on anger, hatred, and resentment towards his father. Upon realizing that he's achieved personal growth, this motivation suddenly feels hollow and his on-field performance suffers. Taking Ted's suggestion that he simply let those negative emotions go, Jamie is able to regain his spark and play even better than ever as he's not burdened emotionally anymore. In the end, it even allows him to take the first steps toward rebuilding his relationship with his father as a healthier one regardless of the senior Tartt's past horrific behavior.
