Spanish Spur could either of you guys explain why Bale is possibly facing a 12 match ban for some hand gestures?
Gareth Bale 'could face 12-match ban' for gesture after scoring in Madrid derby
Bill Madrid
isn't that "A tomar por culo"? I haven't seen that gesture done since the 90s. But I do hang around with classier people nowadaysyeah what you said. btw I might be in Madrid for the Chelsea game if you're out and know a good barI didn't see it but it's a well know "offensive" gesture here, called a corte de mangas or "arm cut". You slap one hand on the inside of you elbow and thrust your lower arm up in a shove-it-up-your-arse fashion.
The fist is usually closed in the classic corte...
although Gibbon Boy seems to have incorporated a V sign (which Spaniards don't understand by the way), fusion stylee

I feel a little bit bad for Bale. Yes he's made ungodly amounts of money and had some big moments on the biggest possible stages, but it kinda feels like he's spent the prime of his career at a club he doesn't particularly enjoy where he isn't much appreciated.
Once you get that enormous contract it's like golden handcuffs, you become un-transferrable.
I bet he'd come back to Spurs in a heartbeat if we made it worth his while in wages, which we won't and honestly probably shouldn't.

Not good enough for us.
Not fit to lace up Sissoko's boots.

Does this Eriksen for Bale swap have anything behind it? Any ITK?
Might appreciate him a bit more if the lazy fucker put a bit more effort into learning Spanish. Surely not too much to ask of someone that's been there nearly six years.
I still have feelings for him. Can't help it.
He's been there five and a half years but still can't speak Spanish. He must be very dim, eh?

He's cunt for that, but he's our cunt. Would love him back.
Wow. That's pretty damning not just of Bale but of AVB for letting it happen. Absolutely unbelievable stuff.
Incredible really considering he's not had a better season since or before that particular year with AVB.
Injury prone (even in a warm country like Spain, let alone in a climate like the UK) and 29 years old, would cost a fortune, I think it would be a bad move for us as a club personally.
I say move on and look for young but high quality talent that can take us up another level.

He must have, surely. Who says he hasn't?
Surprisingly, it appears he can speak some but I honestly didn't think he could either.
I don't know why, but this just makes me laugh.
Seriously though, does it seem like he's reading at times? I get that speaking it more difficult than listening, but there's such a discrepancy between the interviewer and him that something just appears to be off.
In the video Guido posted with Mason, they mentioned that.
Seems like hes learnt some from this interview video of him. He sounds like hes speaking English but in Spanish.

That was shot over 2.5 hours and animatronics were used to create a life size Bale with a Spanish person providing dubbed vocals
Loved him as a player you just can’t trust him though, he only really looks after himself, the Madrid massive have to thank him for some great moments but there is never smoke without fire something clearly doesn’t sit right with them either
