Bale getting slagged off on Talksport this morning

[mattyspurs]

Don't worry SK, I got your back.

I agree with you

The Keys & Gray show doesn't get people phoning in any way, probably due to the risk of someone asking whether they would 'smash it'.

They're silly comments from Bale. Diving out of the way of a heavy challenge to protect yourself is one thing; diving out the way, but leaving your leg trailing, then putting your arms up asking for a foul when no one's touched you isn't quite the same thing, and he knows it.

If it was any other club's player, we'd be slagging him off too. It's something I've taken issue with for a while now

He's left himself open to criticism, and unsurprisingly TalkSport is obliging. God, seriously, stop listening to that terrible radio station. More than 5 minutes of that makes me want to punch someone. They do it to every team on a rotational basis.

What's sad is I was at the Sony Radio Awards last year and they cleared up in every category they were nominated for

unfortunatley Bale is his own worse enemy now, he has been diving a lot this season, or simply feining injury and i is becoming very annoying indeed. He is an extremely talanted player but if he worked as hard at learning how to get past his opponent than he does at cheating (and to be fair thats what it is) then he would be one of the best in the world. Personnaly i think he will become one of the best in the world and we are blessed to have him but christ cut out the crap Bale!!

As for talk sport, they spout crap all day long, everyone of them!! Its their job, keeps everyone listening and they do it well. if you dont like it dont listen to it?

Keys was slabbering all summer on TS that LM would be a Chelski player before the TW closed, DL would cave in etc a la Berbatov. That was the end of his credibility with me. Tosspot.

Hmmm...your credibilityometer (found just to the left of your third nipple) seems to have been switched to off in January 2011. Or maybe you just would have smashed it?

 

[Spurger King]

He doesn't do my nerves any good either. Half the time he goes down looking like he's shattered every bone in his body, leaving me thinking he's out for the season, only for him to back on his feet chimping about as happy as Larry 2 minutes later.

 

[Glenn_Purvey]

But he's already scored more league goals and made more assists than any previous season and we've still eight games to go...... Only one midfielder has scored more league goals this year - Lampard, and he takes pens.

and we are 3rd or have been 3rd the majority of this season!!!

Exactly my point

I never said I didn't like Talksport. I seem to be going against the general concensus here, but I like listening to it and there's obviously 3 million other people who tune in regularly. I heard them taking Bale's interview out of context and posted about it. Talksport have been generally heaping praise on Spurs this year (like most of the media) so this morning's comments by Keys were out of order, that's all.

Bale has inner-ear problem, says Redknapp


HARRY Redknapp has defended Gareth Bale’s precarious goalmouth balance, claiming the midfielder has an inner-ear issue.

Silverback Bale has been criticised for his Tom Daley-esque levels of diving but the Spurs manager said that he simply has an allergic aural canal reaction to goal netting that makes him fall over a lot.

Tottenham stadium announcers have tried to lessen the impact of each tumble by accompanying them with the sound of swanee whistles and timpani drums, as well as giving the footage to You’ve Been Framed with a £250 charity donation for each clip.

Redknapp said “You also have to remember that Gareth is Welsh so the sight of all the electric lights and women without beards is bound to make him a little giddy, especially when we’re 1-0 down.”

The FA has investigated the allegations of Bale’s variable interactions with gravity and is considering introducing a new booking offence as a result.

In addition to the current offence of ‘simulation’, players may now be booked for ’full surround-sound, scratch & sniff, 3-D CGI deception’.

Spurs face Everton at Goodison Park tomorrow and the Merseyside club have installed grab rails along the touchlines of the pitch to help the unsteady Spurs midfielder.

Redknapp added: “I think if Gareth was English there wouldn’t be all this fuss and it’s only the fact he’s Welsh and therefore technically another species that he’s singled out.”

To be fair mate, i wasnt aiming that last bit at you just putting it out there in general

 

[Gbspurs]

Still young, still learning. He seems mentally strong to me, must be after going 26 games without winning!! Ronaldo went through similar persecution when he was diving around and doing pointless tricks around the same age, hell he even got booed by every person in the county after the WC in 2006, didn't seem to affect him much. I would imagine he will have a little look at himself, think about shutting people up and want to show everyone his best. Put your money on bale winning player of the month award in April.

At diving?

I think he's been disappointing this season. I could count the number of fantastic performances he's put in for us this season on one hand.

A lot of that is due to the opposition working extra hard to cancel him out, but it's also down to his unsuccessful new role as a meandering headless chicken, as well as his general lack of effort at times.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bale and when he's playing well he's unstoppable, but most of his performances this season have been a let down.

i never understand why people say he isnt having a good season, usually spurs fans. this is quite easily his best season at the club

 

[hoodlum]

To echo a few above, he's a diver and feigner of injuries. It's embarrassing to watch, but what are you gonna do?

I just came here to post that, and i hate it when something funny gets lost at the bottom of a page :lol:

Better than last season? You're having a giraffe.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Better than last season? You're having a giraffe.

stats say otherwise

2010/11 season

11 goals 3 assists (in all comps)




2011/12 season with 11 games to go not including maybe 3 more FA cup games

10 goals 10 assists (in all comps)

guess I'm having a Giraffe indeed :lol:

Because stats tell the whole story?

Simple fact is, performance wise, Bale shone during the second half of the 09/10 season the first part of the 10/11 season. Basically, the whole of 2010.

He hasn't come anywhere near close to matching that consistent level of performance since then.

 

[Blake Griffin]

i think he's been better this season.

yep stats tell quite alot, i'll take the 10 assists (likely much more) over the 3 he achieved last year, as well as the better ability to score goals

he got us a pen in the last game, a pen against arsenal, scored against city, his performance seem fine to me. And if other teams have to dive in on him to stop him, and they end up getting red cards or giving up pens then thats there problem, not ours

haters gonna hate though
