Summary
“I’ve just left him,” Trent said the moment he slid into the booth next to Coach Beard. He had intended to play it cool, but it all came out in a rush. “He doesn’t want to go back. He admitted that his mum guilted him into leaving Richmond, and he doesn’t want to go.”
Beard’s expression didn’t change. “Is he still going?”
Trent sat straight against the back of the booth. “Yes.”

The (in)Complete Guide to Britpicking and Finer Football Details by BelmotteTower, ScoatneyHall
Fandoms: Ted Lasso (TV)
16 Nov 2022

Summary
This is not fic! This is a non-fiction resource. I hope this resource will be something that is useful to anyone in this fandom who either wants to write fic from the POV of any one of Ted Lasso’s British characters and is not British themselves, or wants to read and write fic and, like Ted, knows nothing about the ins and outs of football and the Premier League.
I've helped a number of viewer friends and writer friends with some of these things already, and I’ve also done extensive research for my own fics and had really positive responses to my author notes, so I thought it might be helpful to compile and share some details regarding Britpicking, British culture and football itself for anyone who wants to make use of this resource, either as a viewer, reader or writer!
16.11.2022: Latest update - England International Duty and the 2022 World Cup. Part one of a long update about players' potential roles in the World Cup and playing for a national team in general. Very Jamie-centric, so mainly about his future England career, but a few other details for others included, as well as some basics on the current controversy and how to potentially write around it.

Summary
The point is (he thinks, only slightly berating himself over his ill-advised glass of tasteless airplane wine, en route from Cincinnati to—) that no one asked him to spend a week with the New England Revolution, or a week and a half bouncing between the New York Red Bulls and New York City Football Club, or eight days with FC Cincinnati, or two weeks (two weeks, Crimm? Are you sure about this?) with Sporting Kansas City.
In which Trent has an extremely valid excuse to end up in Kansas City for two weeks, because, like, "sports journalism" and "articles" and "long-form research." Mm-hmm. He's totally writing a very objective and thorough account of "soccer" in America, or at least that's the pitch that got him sent around the country for several months.
And then he skives off with one Ted Lasso.

Summary
Trent Crimm might only recently be an independent journalist, but he's had no one to rely on but himself for far, far longer. And most days, it feels like he's barely keeping it together. So it only seems fitting that the conclusion to the worst period of his life is for the whole thing to go up in literal flames.
Luckily for Trent, help comes from a (not so) unexpected source.
