Gareth, we can't understand why a pro journalist would not ask a single difficult question. Especially since with Forrest, in Ep 1, you harped on about his two worst games, which was really over the top–an insult to a Canadian legend. Herdman, in contrast, was let off the hook, and has so far proven little and failed in key matches. Even in the forte he most boasts about: psychology.
Great stuff. I can see why CMNT hired herdman. Smart, passionate with great work ethic. Well done wheels. Can’t wait to hear you and Alexi
