ery overrated more like.

You don't make nearly 150 appearances for Barca unless your a little handy. He's fundemental to the way Barca like to play.

hat is what I mean though, he's obviously a very good player but considering he has 150 caps for Barca and 60 caps for Spain I really don't see what is that great about him. I think Yaya Touré is a much better DM.

He's reading of the game is second to none. He also has the ability to turn defense into attack in a single pass.

The role in which he is used, means these two attributes are essential. He's not an Inesta or Messi, he does a lot of the ugly work which can go unnoticed. But he's bloody good at what he does.

He's the modern day DM. A 'holding midfielder' one of the very best around

All IMO of course.

Anyone watching El Classico?

The football being played is sublime. Good goal from Neymar.

Yep, just started watching just in time to see Bale have a go from 30 yards.

I'm waiting for it to land in my garden.

Really enjoyed that. Entertaining stuff.

When they took Bale off Real turned into a different team.

I give it two seasons ...

Blimey, 45 is no age at all.

RIP Tito.
