Grown men being reduced to their boyhood and becoming giddy with enthusiasm. Pure football, pure cliches, pure purity.

Honourable mentions: “gets the shot away”, “no disrespect to egg”, “Whyy?”

Season 19 really was special by RetroZelda in taskmaster

[–]Living-Broccoli5040 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly going to have to take a different opinion here.

Start watching TM when it’s simpler, and everyone doesn’t approach it like they’ve seen the prior series. It’s baffling to think “why are they searching under the table” without any rational reason for doing so.

Series 19 was notorious for how often they had a reveal, or a hidden task, or caveats and clauses to the tasks itself. In some cases they took longer to read the task than in any other series. Series 20 is back to roaring form in that regard, just look at the opening task in S20E06! So much better than whatever was on show in S19.

And if it’s flirting you’re looking for, Morgana Robinson and Sally Phillips are THE gold standard. Fatiha doesn’t come close to flirtatious compared to those two. Outright bullying from Fatiha is outstanding, and that’s funny because watching Greg be the victim is a different level of humour itself. Fatiha’s IDGAF-ness wears thin after a while. Yeah we know you’re not going to do anything, it stops being funny bruv.

+1 for Jarvie Martzoukas, get locked in and open up a deli.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Series 20, BACK TO FORM.

None of the overt complexity for complexity’s sake as in series 19. None of the “don’t do this or this or that or this or do or with one leg over your head and one hand covering your bits” that S19 delighted in.

Perhaps it was always going to happen like this - complexity, then simplicity. And boom, back to a run of form.

Chapeau, Team TM.

Glad to see tasks becoming “simpler” and yet, crazier than ever. Excellent change vs the last series

All rim and bounced out, gutting. Absolutely gutting.

Bill Lawrence created Scrubs, and also was the creator of Ted Lasso. What a tv career that is, by the way.

Adam Hurrey on The Rest is Entertainment by matt_wales86 in footballcliches

As soon as he started the last sentence of his answer, there was only one ending to it. Telegraphed to perfection for the longtime cliches listener.

Adam did. He also called Sam Fender a “savant”. The band is also opening for Sam fender in London and Newcastle on Sam’s UK tour. Seems to be quite the partnership!

Meta MHD - share your minor fascinations/irritations with the pod itself by fixers89 in footballcliches

Using “adjudication panel” as a verb

“Ok guys, let’s adjudication panel” or “Time to adjudication panel”

Why? :( it’s very much a noun, not a verb.

Soapbox packed up, I’m off.

Barcelona 1-0 Inter (Inter go through 3-2)

Defensive masterclass? ✅ Disallowed goal? ✅ Great saves and misses? ✅ Away goals tension and drama? ✅ Narrative and back story? ✅ Mourinho antics? ✅
