@@MaiElizabeth you're kinda sick in the head aren't you? Wouldn't be surprised if you caused that 'accident'. We're talking about fictional characters here, while you...
Surprised no one’s talking about George here. All series long, he’d act bitter towards AFC Richmond on Sky Sports but he wouldn’t stoop as low as to take Tartt out. I loved that detail.
I think as well George is a parody of the likes of Big Sam and Neil Warnock, and while they are controversial figures who have backward views of how to play football, they are football men at heart who wouldn't go this low. Rupert's love of football meanwhile has been crushed by his love of money and status (i.e wanting bragging rights over Rebecca and Richmond) so he sees no problem with doing this.
it's because we're led to believe George is well, a bit of a Rupert fan boy as he hasn't seen the truly vindictive side of him, just the billionaire playboy sleeping around a bit which George is just an old guy he doesn't care much, similarly George is an old school football manager, he finds Rupert tail chasing fun and joins in and drinks with him but when it comes to the on field product he knows there's just things you cannot do
Rupert getting booed out of the club he loves is somewhat tragic but certainly deserving. Takes a great character to be a good villain in a comedy show
Also the fact Rebecca started out trying to make Rupert as miserable as possible but now that she’s grown she honestly doesn’t seem to take any delight in seeing Rupert at his lowest
Yes they did a great job with him because if you look at pictures of the actor in real life he doesn't look anything like that. He actually looks like a fun guy.
I really like how Ted showed concern for the other coach and wanted to be sure he was ok. These last few episodes have been the most wholesome in mannerisms alone
It really demonstrates how good an actor Anthony Head is. He was such a calm, decent presence on Buffy. Than he can show his range by going to the opposite end.
I think this really showed how far Rebecca had come. At the very beginning, *this* was her goal. Her dream. Her entire motivation. To hurt Rupert in a way that he had never been hurt before. But she moved beyond that. She healed. Put aside her pain and moved forward. Made her life substantially better in all the most important ways. If she had gotten her revenge when she wanted it, it likely would have eventually felt hollow, because she had nothing else. Now, it's just the icing on the cake. Rebecca has a far more fulfilling life and is in a far healthier place. She'll be happy that Rupert has ruined his own life, but she finds happiness in far more important things now....
I like how George refused Rupert's order to have Jamie taken out of the game by crippling him. He may be an incompetent and misogynistic manager but he's not an unethical one.
Despite being a rupert fanboy and talking crap about richmond on soccer saturday, he wouldn’t stoop as low as injuring a player to get an advantage. Can even see him shake teds hand and mean it at the end of the match
He wasn't really an incompetent manager either, they almost win the game, and he certainly was decent with Richmond before being sacked by Rebecca for revenge.
Hes not an incompetent manager. Hes an old school British manager: stuck in his ways both on and off the pitch but ultimately with too much respect for football to injure an opposing player. His misogyny is a by-product of that.
You know a show has top class character development when you actually feel something for Rupert here. Knowing his backstory and how he grew up on the streets of Richmond and that this club was his escape out of the slums adds so much depth of feeling to it. Doesn’t mean he’s not a wanker though.
@@JohnSmith-cx8co Understandable. Unfortunately, there are people in the world (admittedly, few and far between) who can't be redeemed. Maybe Rupert was meant to represent them. Or, maybe, the show's makers just didn't get around to it yet :)
Sassy’s joyful hatred of Rupert starting with her plan for his funeral to this moment makes me so happy. That’s a friend. I’m convinced she would step over Rupert if he was lying on ground with a head injury.
Idk if I’m grasping here, but Rupert having to walk down to his own manager to take Tartt out physically is sorta a reverse of Ted in season one running up into the stand and asking Rebecca if he can bench Tartt due to his attitude. Rebecca responds “you’re the manager Ted”. Great great parallels all around
@2:16 Rebecca is taking no joy in Rupert’s self-destruction. It finishes the arc begun in the pilot, when she only wanted to cause him pain. In the end, his pain was greater than she could have delivered, yet it was by his own hand, not hers. The most satisfying ending possible.
@@annaiorio4543 well there was the whole entire Bountygate where New Orleans Players got bonuses if they injured opponents. An interesting read even if you don’t watch the NFL like ke
Rupert downfall wasn't a final battle moment as you see elsewhere. All that was needed was for everyone to see who he really was. Also, compare Rupert and Rebecca's characters journeys in the season when confronted with one another, they are literally the reverse of each other. It starts off with Rupert being suave and cocky, Rebecca on the other hand is angry and flustered, how the tables have turned.
I’m amazed by how I don’t even hate him at the end there-I pity him. Just a small, pathetic man with so little left due to his own destructive decision making. Those he wronged came out on top not because they destroyed him, but because they rose above him. He is to be pitied.
I hated him for everything he’d done to Rebecca, tried to do to Ted and definitely did to Nate were all behind closed doors. This was so public and painful. The look between Ted and George at the end was great. 😌
I love that little moment at the end - blink and you’ll miss it - after Rupert’s done his Stride of Shame off the pitch, when George and Ted exchange a quick look and a nod. George seeing Ted as an equal at last - and Ted not gloating about it. Onward. Forward.
Rupert's downfall was great. His club was taken by his ex-wife who is pretty much done with him in all regards, his trophy wife is filing for divorce, and he's booed out of his old club after showing them all who he really is. Plus, his new club lost right out to his old one. It's the kind of defeat you love to see. One where the villain who has painted himself as a fun man about town is shown as nothing more than a spoiled scumbag.
Not too long ago I would've been shouting Wanker at the T.V. to feel like part of the crowd, but then they humanized Rupert. They reminded us that nobody is born a monster, it's tragic to think who Rupert was earlier in life and to see how he was corrupted by his own success. Rupert has nobody, but himself to blame for what happened . While his actions can't be excused I can't help, I can't help but pity him
As in SUPER unrealistic? This show made an absolute mockery of the sport in season 3. That Maradona joke in the season premier alone was massively disrespectful.
What I liked about this scene was that the coach didn't get back at him or anything. Everyone was just so shocked rupert would behave in such a primitive way, rupert just exposed his bar character and that was how he "lost" the scene. Not by getting attacked. The chanting was just to make it even clearer he showed people his faults.
Everything Rupert has done bad is pretty much behind closed doors. This was a public humiliation. Rebecca and Ted didn’t want to join in as they knew exactly who he is.
I would love to have seen Ted walk over and help George up. And there was so much going on in that scene... the way Sassy cut Rupert in the clubhouse... that look on Nate's face as Rupert storms past him on his way back to his seat - "Yikes! There but for the grace of God go I."... Sassy's unbridled joy when the crowd starts chanting "Wanker"... the look of pity on Ted's face in that same moment... and at the end of the scene, the camera sitting on Rupert for seconds as the chant of "Wanker" echoes in his ears and he comes to realize his actual legacy in the Premiere League.
Way to go about the legacy bit. If this was real would definitely be the *only* thing Rupert would be ever remembered. "Hey, remember the guy who went apeshit on his own manager? that was nuts."
@@SimonFostonYes it was all over his face. The shitty things Rupert does are behind closed doors. This was showing his true colours to everyone. The ones who knew already were happy to see his comeuppance.
Rupert did 1 halfway decent thing in the entire series and that made everyone sympathize with him. There's something to be said about people's mind frame in these moments.
The best part of this was that, throughout Rupert's down for cheating and being thrown out, Ted and Rebecca have no joy at his pain. Rebecca has moved on from the point where anything he did matters, where she originally tried to torpedo Richmond's chances by hiring an outsider just to TRY to hurt him.
It is fascinating to me to watch Anthony Head play villains because in real life, he is a giggly goofball. Whether he’s Rupert Manion or Rupert Giles, always love ASH.
He's always going to be the guy who assaulted his coach during a game, on television. No matter where he goes, he's going to hear "Wanker" and unlike Ted, it'll stay with him. He has a tremendous ego.
But he will still be ashamed. Money doesn't fix that. He would have been better off to walk away from Rebecca and futbal entirely. Now everything will be poisoned. This is why you try to avoid doing things you will regret.
This is beautiful writing. That scene where Rebecca gives her monologue about Rupert's story. His *rise* from poor to powerful started with being "knocked [him] on the ground" by a security guard and proudly walking out of the stadium... and then his downfall was him throwing someone else onto the ground and shamefully walking out of the stadium.
Rebecca and Rupert's whole situation reminds me of my own daughter and her now ex-husband. It took her awhile to get over the loss, but she always took the high road every step of the way. Her ex, on the other hand, consistently made one stupid decision after another, with the inevitable results of both paths playing out. I love my ex-son-in-law, but my daughter has won every single moment of their relationship in the aftermath, simply by being a good and strong person.
The only thing that upsets me is that the ref should’ve given Rupert a red card, there’s no way something like that would’ve fly in real life. Plus it would’ve make his arc even better. Thrown away by the game itself and the club of his life.
@@irene.2023 they can give him a lengthy stadium ban and a monetary fine afaik the league (or the FA) isn’t in a position to remove him as owner of a club (as long as he hasn’t done anything strongly illegal), though the clubs board can and probably would if something like this happened irl
I have mixed feelings of the finale overall, but man they really just wanted to make Rupert look like a comic book villain in the finale, it was honestly goofy his all black outfit with the black trench coat.
Anthony Head is such a great villain.....he's so seething with rage in that moment, it wouldn't have been a shocker if he had a stroke or heart attack right there.
The look of Rupert (Anthony Head) was really different here than it was in season one. The pointed goatee, the sharp facial lines and prominent cheekbones, and the cape-like black coat flying behind him all serve to show he truly was a devil.
He had an opportunity after the meeting with Akufo, when Rebecca reminded everyone - including him - about his humble beginnings and the person he used to be. He immediately threw it away without thinking in favor of making a move on Rebecca, which she swiftly shot down. It may be realistic, but it really is kind of tragic that he seemingly lost altogether the grounded perspective he once had. Rebecca is fighting more for that little boy Rupert used to be than Rupert is, because Rupert just… doesn’t remember him.
He was a symphatetic villain at best thanks to his backstory of being a poor boy sneaking into richmond matches. This also proves that not all villains end up being redeemed
Do you remember when the fellow playing Rupert was in an on-going series of commercials selling coffee? A love affair surrounding the coffee habit . . .
I love how they show Ted and Rebecca clearly taking no joy in Rupert’s downfall. But then letting Sassy enjoy it was great
I like how you actually see pity from Ted and Nate as he walks off the field.
I know that it is unpopular but I dislike Sassy's character. She is a thief, a mooch and a questionable friend.
Sassy was one of the best characters on the show. Always loved her scenes.
@@JR-bj3ufsassy was fantastic. She had Rupert down to a t. She understands human nature as a psychologist. I’d love her as a friend.
@@fayesouthall6604wasn’t a fan of how she treated Ted
I like how Rebecca is completely calm. Not even gloating. She's done with Rupert
Yup, and no surprised reaction when he was walking onto the field. It was just "here we go again".
The same reaction I did when I heard my ex bf got into a terrible accident. I feel nothing, totally stranger.

@@MaiElizabeth you're kinda sick in the head aren't you? Wouldn't be surprised if you caused that 'accident'. We're talking about fictional characters here, while you...

Surprised no one’s talking about George here. All series long, he’d act bitter towards AFC Richmond on Sky Sports but he wouldn’t stoop as low as to take Tartt out. I loved that detail.
The little nod between him and Ted at the end, the solidarity of managers
@@EyebrowsGaming I also liked their handshake after the game. George had kind of surprise redemption arc.
I think as well George is a parody of the likes of Big Sam and Neil Warnock, and while they are controversial figures who have backward views of how to play football, they are football men at heart who wouldn't go this low. Rupert's love of football meanwhile has been crushed by his love of money and status (i.e wanting bragging rights over Rebecca and Richmond) so he sees no problem with doing this.
I definitely noticed it and was touched by it...just like the whole show.

I like that in the end no one got revenge on Rupert. All he has is himself to blame.
That's what happens when *you* are your own worst enemy.
Revenge is even sweeter
And that look from Rebecca that just says "Jesus, he screwed himself over way better than I ever could"
Rupert getting booed out of the club he loves is somewhat tragic but certainly deserving. Takes a great character to be a good villain in a comedy show
He united Richmond here more than ever!
I seen Anthony Head had serious chops when he did stuff like Repo, but he did stellar work on Buffy. Guy is incredibly underrated.
Also the fact Rebecca started out trying to make Rupert as miserable as possible but now that she’s grown she honestly doesn’t seem to take any delight in seeing Rupert at his lowest
@@samreid6010Plus, he's already done that to himself.
@@nivekian Feel like after Buffy all he's done is villains ( and very well).
I really do love how the production crew tried to make Rupert look like Darth Vader with that long cape-like suit.
More like Emperor Palpatine
And the window in his office (Palpatine)
For me he's like General zod
Yes they did a great job with him because if you look at pictures of the actor in real life he doesn't look anything like that. He actually looks like a fun guy.

Yeah I’m shocked and amazed I really need to check out more of his work

Sets up a tragic fall.

Rupert is the only villain character in this show that didn't get at least a little bit of redemption. At least as far as I can remember.
There was also that Ghanaian guy, shady businessman.
@@tomaszwitkowski9507 Right you are.
He had an opportunity after the meeting with Akufo, when Rebecca reminded everyone - including him - about his humble beginnings and the person he used to be. He immediately threw it away without thinking in favor of making a move on Rebecca, which she swiftly shot down.
It may be realistic, but it really is kind of tragic that he seemingly lost altogether the grounded perspective he once had. Rebecca is fighting more for that little boy Rupert used to be than Rupert is, because Rupert just… doesn’t remember him.
He was a symphatetic villain at best thanks to his backstory of being a poor boy sneaking into richmond matches. This also proves that not all villains end up being redeemed
Acting by these British actors were phenomenal
The good Rupert is in Sunnydale.
Loved this show. Wish there had been a season 4.
Rupert is like Sensei Kresse
Now he's dressing like Terry Silver but without his signature ponytail.
@@BillyButcher90 true
I just realized this scene is prepared by Roy's walk the same way, the same black outfit. Which underlines the difference.
If you listen to the chants enough, you can almost hear "Ripper".
Id fear for the vampires if this Rupert was in THAT universe...
Talk about humiliation for George.
He stood his ground and did the right thing though.
@@SimonFoston yes he did
1:28 if your a football fan that watches the Premier league
you will know this ref very well haha class
Mike Dean, an actual premier league ref makes an apearance, wow 😂
The trench coat is so over the top evil 😂
What a great overcoat!
that manager's short shorts are short short
Do you remember when the fellow playing Rupert was in an on-going series of commercials selling coffee? A love affair surrounding the coffee habit . . .
Perhaps one of the best variations on the "des nutz" gag in the past decade.
