On Nichol, I don't often watch the ESPN FC daily as it seems to be mostly EPL, but I'd almost feel cheated if there weren't a curmudgeonly British type for the younger guys to play off. He's like an across-the-pond Mike Milbury.

Doesn't turn into a sourpuss when someone gives him some shit.

And I agree regarding the coverage (like Gab and the others). They're very good. Just wish Gab wasn't so anti-German. Hates those Germans.
