Hendo It is a bit odd, he has always been great and I was bemused by a lot of pundits claiming that he was only good because he was playing in a good RM side and wouldn't be the same player in England.

It's a real insight into why people elsewhere moan about the British media (and fans) hype when it comes to football here. The bloke is one of the best midfielders of his generation and has won the CL 5 times in recent years in arguably the best side in football in those years, but his move to a team who struggle to win things now and are playing in the Europa League apparently means he has elevated himself and found a new gear!
It's embarrassing to listen to.
You look at how Spanish football has dominated European competitions for years then hear your Robbie Savages shout 'this is why it's the best league in the world!' as he commentates on Leicester beating some Latvian team in the Conference League.
