A nerd's an obsessive intellectual, not someone who regurgitates shit, takes pride in never having read a book. Although existing for cyber-chomps because they wouldn't say boo to a goose in reality is probably getting into the right territory.

Forgot about them :lol:

Think he's still here with a scaled-back role, i.e. back to scouting but no place on the board.

I agree with you. It's a bit like following the German / French / Spanish model for producing future players (in terms of being reactive) meaning that you're about a decade behind them anyway as they've all moved on before your plans could've come to fruition. I think your previous point about seeing a pragmatic Portugal side (and even more tragically, a workman-like Iceland side) do well will have influenced them too. Have you seen those quotes blaming the press too? I.e. players being more scared of failure because of the pressure heaped upon them. Fuck me gently

I know Angus Fraser is still a selector as he often gets a mention on TMS due to it

Used to love Happy Days. RIP

How deep is your love?

Probably was a 10 out of 10 relative to his ability

Well I certainly think there was a case for trying Sam Robson, Sam Northeast, Daniel Bell-Drummond or Scott Borthwick there rather than moving Root to accomodate Ballance (who I wouldn't have picked in the squad ahead of those four).

CT thinks he's Connor MacLeod

The words 'damning' and 'indictment' spring to mind

He's wavering
