Obviously I’ve always know what scum they are but that whole Ben Stokes story and how they flew out to NZ to harass his mum for a tragic family event that happened in the 80s was just next level for me and I was pleased Stokes came out and said what he did.

Stuff like that and Bale you shouldn’t have to say “oh that’s just part and parcel of being a celebrity” it’s of no interest to the public and should remain private to the families.

Not wrong. And the horrendous Milly Dowler stuff. Brilliant investigative podcast about news international and the shady side of their “news reporting”... the corrupt side of the Met and Government... all involved for decades with each other... stark stuff

Did he not play 2 games for Wales recently? 45 minutes for the first game then 90 for the second vs Bulgaria?

He's obviously not going to be match for either way, so would probably be eased in over the next month anyway.

This may have been mentioned since the 90 pages where added from last night though!

He did. Some suggestion that he picked up a knock doing so, hence won’t play for a bit, or that’s a mistranslation/misunderstanding and he won’t be fully match fit for a few weeks.

The Arshavin thread ran to over 800 pages, the Soldado thread well over 3,000 pages

This thread is still a puppy

There is still time! Wait until he signs and we get 100 of the same photo posted! And then people telling them it's already posted.... :cautious: :whistle:

Isn't there something about telling the stock market if we spend big? That won't open again until Monday.

If it falls through now after all the hype, we will look like right chumps!

Used to be the case, but we went private several years ago and are no longer listed.

Honestly I keep losing sleep over this now I just want to see it, have my tears to see him in the shirt again, and carry on!

They would have been tested leaving Spain. They have been in a football bubble and so as Bale was training on Wednesday I am sure it's fine. Either way if they do have to isolate, we have the hotel next to the training ground anyway.

I'm sure the club would want to give them the all clear as well.

I'm not sure why some are seeing the lack of an announcement yesterday as a PR 'own goal'. Even without an official confirmation, Bale and Spurs dominated sports news coverage for an entire day (Liverpool's move for Thiago was a sidenote, even after they did confirm it officially). Bale was even the main sport headline on the mainstream news bulletins, despite no official announcement.

If we'd confirmed the move at 4pm (for example) yesterday, we wouldn't have had any more coverage as a result, and by this morning everybody would have moved on to whatever the next story is.

By holding back the announcement/ first interviews etc. until today, we ensure a 2nd full day of being all over the news channels.

Exactly. Couldn’t agree more. I’ve even hit the agree button, removed it, and hit it again.
