Hard what to base it on, really. As much as I believe Ben Arfa can be better than most of them it's hard to justify saying he is (daft ones like Walcott aside).
I sort of like the idea of having a 'villain' there as long as it doesn't detract from the main person/cause too much. Di Canio seems to have grabbed the spotlight but someone like Quinn or Kevin Phillips might be a larf (at least they aren't arseholes like PDC).
