The writers of “Ted Lasso,” the acclaimed, sugar-sweet Apple TV comedy, never particularly worried about being hidebound by reality.
At the end of “Ted Lasso” — in all other aspects a determinedly romantic and uplifting show, an unabashed underdog story of empowerment and personal growth and the overwhelming power of nice — Manchester City still wins the Premier League.
Even in fiction, City cannot be dislodged.
City is not the villain, not really, in the Lasso Cinematic Universe.
That role goes, instead, to a combination of conventional thinking and West Ham.
