Ted Lasso 15:26 - Jan 7 with 7072 viewsDylanP

Has anyone seen this series? In my family we are having an ongoing discussion whether the football club at the center of the show is a thinly viewed version of QPR.

For those who haven't see it, the show centers around Richmond FC, a London club struggling for survival in the Premiership (sounds like us a few years ago). They have a captain who is a former great player with anger issues (sounds like Joey Barton), a superstar goal scorer with massive ego issues (sounds like Taraabt), who play Man City on the last day of the season and lose to a goal with the last kick of the game (I remember that happening).

Obviously, its fiction, so the details don't match exactly, but there are enough coincidents to amuse us. Plus, the show is funny.

Ive watched the whole series. It was most enjoyable.

But I never saw any suggestion that it was in any way based on QPR.

Looking forward to season 2 as well and Season 3 (which is stated as being the series finale)

For what it's worth, the sketch the show's originally based on had Ted managing Spurs:



And they filmed it all at Selhurst Park:

I reckon any overlaps with QPR are coincidental. We're hardly the first team to have had a moody captain with his best days behind him, or a highly-strung number 10!

Shit f*cking show to be fair. But I'm hate-watching it. Like it's nice and get that it's nice but it's too nice. Like everyone in it. And it's bullshit too. They've resorted to the whole 'she sees a psychic who is literally able to see the future and isn't a con c*nt' plot line. And the fact that Bill Lawrence's big plot point has always been 'we're having a baby' which is what he did in Scrubs and Cougar Town. Like having a baby is the most interesting and dramatic thing that could ever happen.

The actress playing her is 49 which is a bit late to be having a kid.

And how can Ted after like three seasons still not know that Wolves are called Wolves?

It's just shit. And it's not based on us, it all stinks of Palace.

looks like it has absolutely nothing to do with QPR...

I watched a few episodes on recommendation. Some funny bits but most of it childish.
Love the locations in Richmond, pubs etc, the views from Richmond and Compass hills.

I love the show but don't think it has anything to do with QPR

Roy Kent is obviously based on Roy Keane, the superstar goalscorer is based on Zlatan

There an episode where they are talking about playing Sheffield Wednesday on a Wednesday.
Behind Ted is a white board calendar with QPR as a fixture on it.

Funny thing is there a continuity f up because obviously the scenes have re shoots edits etc and Teds still in front of the board but with no QPR on it.

How sad am I

I mean you're a QPR fan, right? You have experience of watching things with no entertainment value that ultimately piss you off.

My daughter worked in the Prince’s Head last summer. They didn’t film inside at all, but they had memorabilia and a slow but steady stream of American fans. Quite a few asked for a pint of “London’s Pride”, then grimaced in disgust and left most of it behind.

Ah hadn't made the Bill Lawrence connection, but at least Scrubs was funny most of the time.

Ted Lasso is incredibly sappy crap - season 1 had its moments, but now we're on season 3 it's clearly jumped the shark.

My wife watches it and will say to me 'it's about football, why don't you like it?'

Thank God Succession is back.

They lost me in the first series when they proved they know nothing about English culture or football by Ted going on this rant against the saying “it’s the hope that kills you” which as QPR supporters we all know to be indubitably true.
Just take this season as an example and I don’t see how you can possibly deny it. From almost the precise moment that the crowd started singing “We’re Queens Park Rangers, we’re top of the League” in October, the whole season has turned to excrement in front of our eyes.

I've not watched the show. Mrs Boston is a fan though, she doesn't understand why I'm not glued to the tv as it's about football and is funny.

Absolutely love it, great show. The heavily based on Zlatan star player signed in the current series is classic.

Never thought there was any of QPR in it though.

It's good honest innocent fun. Was never meant to be a serious look at football or be like an "all or nothing" show.

Anyway, check out series 3, episode 2 " I don't want to go to Chelsea" (who does) between 32:12 and 36:20 minutes.....What changing room is that with blue and white hoops on the wall??????
