-->Now, look, this is a sad moment right here. For all of us. And there ain't nothing I can say, standing in front of you right now, that can take that away. But please do me this favor, will you? Lift your heads up and look around this locker room. Yeah? Look at everybody else in here. And I want you to be grateful that you're going through this sad moment with all these other folks. Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone.

* BrickJoke: In the second episode, when asked by Trent Crimm if he knew what the offside rule is, Ted replied that he would know an offside when he saw one. In this episode, Richmond have a player flagged for a blatant offside, and Ted is genuinely baffled. Coach Beard ends up having to explain the rule to him.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Roy normally hates wisecracks about his age, but is visibly amused when Ted praises him for having "chased down his own grandson" (referring to Jamie).



* TakeAThirdOption: Jamie visits Keeley and brings her coffee, not knowing that Roy is there and has already made her a coffee. Rather than choose one over the other, Keeley diplomatically pours Jamie's coffee into Roy's, mixing them together.



* TragicMistake: Rebecca's decision to trade Jamie back to Manchester ends up costing the team everything, as Jamie sets up the goal that gets Richmond relegated. Heartbreakingly it happens just as she admits to truly caring about the team and wanting them to win.

** Arlo and Chris have the same conversation about the pronunciation of Zoreaux's surname that Zoreaux himself had with Ted.



%%* CeilingBanger: Ted's upstairs neighbor Ms. Shipley.

%%* CeilingBanger: * ChekhovsGun: Of the various trick plays discussed before the match, two get put into practice: Dani's "Sandman" technique (a series of short dummy passes played from a corner, followed by a sudden long-range strike that almost catches City out), and Ted's upstairs neighbor Ms. Shipley.own "Lasso Special" (an honest-to-goodness American football play that [[ConfusionFu baffles the hell out of everyone]] and ''does'' catch City out).


Added DiffLines:

* FirstNameBasis: Rebecca calls Higgins by his first name - Leslie - for the first time in the series, showing just how much she has softened after letting go of her revenge scheme.


Added DiffLines:

* InstantlyProvenWrong: In the dying minutes, with Richmond looking to tie the game, Richard is fouled and theatrically rolls across the pitch to make sure a free kick is awarded. He stays down long enough for one of the commentators to remark that he might actually be injured... whereupon he immediately jumps to his feet, perfectly fine.

* ArtisticLicenseSports: AFC Richmond's final game of the season is shown taking place at night; in reality, whilst Premier League fixtures are played during evenings over the course of the season, this is not the case on the final day of the season as every game kicks off at the same time on a Sunday afternoon in May, with the fixtures being played entirely in daylight.



** In [[Recap/TedLassoS1E02Biscuits "Biscuits"]], Ted's son sent him a bag of green plastic army men to keep him safe, and Ted gave some to Rebecca and Sam for the same reason. After witnessing Jamie's abuse by his father after the final, Ted slips him an envelope with an encouraging note and another plastic army man to show that he's still looking out for Jamie.

* {{Foil}}: Jamie serves as one to AFC Richmond. Richmond may have lost and ultimately been relegated from the Premier League, [[YouAreNotAlone but they are at the very least together]]; Jamie may have triumphed, but he's [[AbusiveParents subject to his father's abuse]] and shown alone amongst the rest of Manchester City's squad.



* TruthInTelevision: The situation Richmond find themselves in - needing a victory to avoid relegation, with a draw sufficing if other results go their way - is very much one that has played out in the Premier League before.



** In contrast Jamie, although he wins the match, ''is'' seen alone and being berated by his [[{{AbusiveParents}} father.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the team promotes Nate to coach, he misinterprets it as him getting fired and is hostile and angry. Then when Ted presents him with his new coach's whistle, he uses Ted claiming it's "never been blown" as an opportunity to make a joke about Colin's sex life.
