Injured tonight?
They were leading the game already before Martial got sent off. The sent off sure made it end in a humiliating defeat, but we weren't that good before it anyway.Absolutely battered us off the pitch and still Bale to come. Yep.
They miss the elements about us being down to 10men for an hour.
And having clearly got the pre season wrong - having been lashed by shocking Palace at home just before.
Hope we get a chance to show them what's what in the league cup final.
Remember this is after us having no pre-season - and looking like drunken sailors. We were already off the pace as seen by the Palace turn over.They were leading the game already before Martial got sent off.

I added this to my post later on :Remember this is after us having no pre-season - and looking like drunken sailors. We were already off the pace as seen by the Palace turn over.
And we were losing but having a player sent off on about 25mins in that lack of shape was always going to lead to a freakish bad result.
So yeah this is true. These results are always a freak and need a combination of many things to work out, similar to also our 8-2 vs Arsenal or our loss 6-1 to City.But to defeat a big team with 6 goals you'll actually need a ridiculous day off for the opposition, a red card and ridiculous luck in getting all your chances in the back of the net.
I am still gonna have faith, if we can get him fit of course.Expensive bench/squad option
I wanted him to do well really. Just seems unlikely now. Not sure where he goes from here?I am still gonna have faith, if we can get him fit of course.
Unless he impresses, its back to Madrid.I wanted him to do well really. Just seems unlikely now. Not sure where he goes from here?
It’s the usual bias towards a British media darling. He’s not playing well it can’t possibly be because he’s no longer good enough for them has to be because the manager has an agenda. He refuses to travel for a major match, any other player would get crucified but when it’s a media darling then “well he’s manager doesn’t play him what’s he supposed to do”. He does provocative things directly toward his club, not even through an agent, media don’t say a word.All the talks of people blaming Zidane and RM for not respecting Bale. Truth was that he was garbage for more or less past 2 years. People in Britain did not really watch RM other than CL finals. Had a skewed view of how Bale really was past 2 years.
Let's be honest it's not as one sided. Both have played their part. Bale is not innocent, obviously, but to absolve RM and Zidane of any blame is nonsense.All the talks of people blaming Zidane and RM for not respecting Bale.

You a Real Madrid supporter?Damn, he will be back here next summer.
We should have played hardball and said "2 year loan or nothing", oh well.
Why Zidane? Wasn't his fault the move to China collapsedLet's be honest it's not as one sided. Both have played their part. Bale is not innocent, obviously, but to absolve RM and Zidane of any blame is nonsense.
Doesn't his contract end in the summer? His Madrid days are over now. Free agent to negotiate one last big pay day in some lesser league. MLS here he comes...Damn, he will be back here next summer.

That it was.Nope, his contracts to 2022. Gotta be one of the worst contracts in history too, the signs were there he wouldn't make it to the end of it even then.
Is his PR even worth that? For the last few years he is basically a meme in football.He's a joke. Still think Real will pay him that remaining year and terminate his contract so he can finally retire. I don't even think he'd be interested in playing MLS for Miami or so. What's the most he could earn there? $3-4M a year so that club can use his for PR?
I doubt if anyone outside UK even talks about Bale.Is his PR even worth that? For the last few years he is basically a meme in football.
I even called it at the time he signed it! It was that obvious!Nope, his contracts to 2022. Gotta be one of the worst contracts in history too, the signs were there he wouldn't make it to the end of it even then.
I don't think a combination of Spain's doping doctors, London's finest physicians, Eileen Drewery and a Jedi could get Bale fit at this point.I am still gonna have faith, if we can get him fit of course.

At least all the early season giddiness about "wait until Spurs have Bale playing" has died down.
What tripe? You will always have a few who fancy a player but I reckon a good 75-80% of the board were glad he went to spurs and not us.
Two perfect examples of how much tripe is talked on here, in terms of overrating transfers made by other clubs.
The 20 - 25% you just alluded to?What tripe? You will always have a few who fancy a player but I reckon a good 75-80% of the board were glad he went to spurs and not us.
Thought you were saying us saying Bale hasn't exactly been a success was tripe for a second!

No, I worded it poorly. He’s been a flop.Thought you were saying us saying Bale hasn't exactly been a success was tripe for a second!
A lot of fans definitely seem to have an "anyone" signed is better than no-one mentality each window.No, I worded it poorly. He’s been a flop.
Yep. That's pretty much it. Bale's still a good player. Just a good playerBale's been ok for Tottenham as a kind of occasional squad level player.
Clearly you don't put serious wad into someone like him to be that though
So your saying there is a chance?I don't think a combination of Spain's doping doctors, London's finest physicians, Eileen Drewery and a Jedi could get Bale fit at this point.
don’t think anyone in the UK talks about Bale.I doubt if anyone outside UK even talks about Bale.
