- Quotes
Rebecca Welton: [on Edwin Akufo's proposal] What do you think you're doing? Just stop it! I mean, how much more money do any of you really need? Why would you ever consider taking something away from people that means so much to them? This isn't a game. Football isn't just a game. It's one of those amazing things in life that can make you feel like shit one moment and then like it's Christmas morning the next. It has the ability to make heroes and villains out of ordinary men. People love this game. My father loved this game. You all used to love this game, I'm sure of it.

Rebecca Welton: I knew this little boy, working class, from Richmond. And he loved football so much, he used to sneak into the matches because his family just couldn't afford the tickets. And one afternoon, he finally got caught. And the security guard smacked him 'round the face, knocked him on the ground. But that little boy stood up, smiled, kicked the security guard in the bollocks, and ran away, never to return. Until 25 years later, when he walked in and bought the entire club. And on his first day as owner, he went and found that same security guard and gave him a pay rise without any explanation. Just because we own these teams doesn't mean they belong to us. And I don't want to be part of something that could possibly destroy this beautiful game, because I would hate for all those little kids and grown-ups out there to ever lose access to that beautiful, passionate part of themselves.

It was less of Ted and Beard but the other characters shone very brightly. That conversation between Nathan and his dad is so powerful. Rebecca and Keeley's conversation was brief but was pure emotion as well. Jaime wearing that shirt for Sam! Akufu's annoying persona. Everything makes this episode extraordinary.
And don't forget that side of Dani Rojas. I laughed so hard when he put his National rivalry on with Van Damme.
Can't wait for the next episode.
