Maybe football people from across Europe still want to witness a real Derby game that's not been totally sanitsed by Sky and the prawn sandwich brigade. There's a genuine, earthy, realness for Villa v Blose that makes it special IMO.
Was he a passenger because he didn't play well, or was it down to the role he was asked to play? When played in a more attacking role he does well, but I don't think he's always asked to do that and it shows in his influence on the pitch. He's a solid and very reliable performer on the whole.

I made the comment that it ain't what it used to be - when I was a teen the derby was more intense because we would each take 10k away fans - but I was chuffed it was a really good atmosphere. Sanitised it wasn't.
