Not the hard game we were hoping for.

Course not.

They have Bale. Only Chuck Norris can handle him.

Ask the press...

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said he was happy that Gareth Bale received a yellow card for diving in his side's 3-0 Europa League victory over Inter Milan on Thursday.
Bale scored with a header at White Hart Lane but was booked for simulation for the fourth time this season.
The Welshman will now be suspended for the second leg at the San Siro.
"With this result we would have asked him to get a yellow card to be clean for the last eight," said Villas-Boas.


But the 23-year-old has received plenty of criticism for diving and replays of Thursday's incident suggested he need not have gone down under the challenge from Walter Gargano.
Bale's scoring run
Bale has only failed to score in one of his last nine matches. He has opened the scoring in seven of those games.

"It is a difficult decision for the ref," said Villas-Boas.
"I don't want to go into that. We have a wonderful player to enjoy and it is ridiculous if we go on like that."

I wonder if he realises that now everyone will assume that it was deliberate.

[Kenneth]

Such a stupid thing to say. Why not just stick to "it might be a good thing" rather than "we would have asked him to get a yellow card"

[Daffy Duck]

Didn't Beckham once say this and got a ban? Except it was a foul instead of a dive.

[Muddled]

Has he only had four yellow cards for diving? I thought it was more.

[Fivex]

You would.

Does anyone think Man Utd will sell Rooney to fund a deal for Gareth Bale?

I think they'll sign Lewandowski anyway.

I reckon Rooney will go back to Everton in a swap for Fellaini.

[ChesterDave]

Everton couldn't afford the bill for his weekly supply of pies never mind his wages

[Liverpel]

Surely he'd accept a pay cut in order to be closer to his favourite brothels.

[ChesterDave]

Surely his favourite brothels are in Bournemouth?

[Liverpel]

I bow to your greater knowledge Mr Dave.
