Van Bommel should be a lobbyist after he retires. He always manages to become the ref's BFF.....as you guys said, he hardly ever gets booked, while he often deserve to be booked....
He's the key to our success, along with De Jong, Sneijder and Robben. If one of them doesn't play, we usually play a bad match. I mean, De Zeeuw can't dispossess a man as easily as De Jong can, Van Bommel adds stability and aggressiveness (and, on a more negative note,dirtyness) to our midfield, Sneijder is our key playmaker, he's far more of an all-round midfielder than Van der Vaart is, and Robben is our one-trick-pony, always scoring goals when he cuts inside. We've got other useful players too, like Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Kuyt and Elia, but Van Bommel, De Jong, Sneijder and Robben truely are our 'Big Four'.
