Gareth Bale

[Fosterbloke]

Has it been forgotten Bale was a left back? He started as an out and out left winger, according to the ITV football commentary team ummmm no he didn't he was a sub standard left back converted into a left winger as he wasn't good enough as a defender.

What a whopper! Anyone with a rudimentary education can become a football journalist. You don't even need to include spelling as a strength these days!

If only that ******* Suarez took a leaf out of Bale's book this summer...

Isn't that how it went?

[Fosterbloke]

That is embarrassing. Tight cardigan shirt with buttons, tight three quarter trousers and a man bag. That belt

[Chazza]

What the **** is he wearing?

[ChesterDave]

It could be worse.

No doing as badly as some hoped/expected I dont think.

Clearly not as good as Ronaldo or Messi. Not many are. Also clearly not worth the money. But he is holding his own that's for sure.

Wonder what Neymar's stats are?

Gareth Bale has scored 10 goals and assisted 8 times in 1.345 minutes this season so far

Wow. that's like a goal every 8 seconds

[danperkins]

He wasn't great tonight, still looks bit rusty. Nice flick on for goal and nearly scored unreal free kick. He has been doing quite well over there although playing from the right side makes him bit predictable.

[Fredo]

He's still averagely ****.

[danperkins]

him and Negredo Nigey

[Fosterbloke]

He'll improve further once he learns the language, settles down into Real Madrid life and gets a better understanding of how the team plays.

If that was a Bale assist for Benzema's goal last night against Espanyol, then it's ridiculous what is classed as an assist. He went for a header on goal, mis-timed it and it grazed his head before Benzema reacted.
