Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[PaulM]

Hate him or hate him, Spurs have the best chairman in the business. About time for some love for DL.

Whatever happens now, he's put all the pieces in place that he could reasonably have put in place. If we don't win trophies, Levy is beyond reproach for me. And to do it in a pandemic that has hit us particularly hard is incredible chairmanship.

Hats off to the wee man.

After the champions league final, I felt a bit deflated about football in general and stopped visiting this site so often. Suddenly that monthly payment to SC felt like a bit of a waste of money, as I'd not post that often, or check what was being said.

The past few days have reminded me of what a great community we have here, and I'm glad to have got back involved with the banter of it all, particularly through this thread.

So thank you, Tottenham, for bringing Bale back. But also, thank you everyone for the past few days of discussion, jokes and ITK

This feels like winning a trophy, can we just put him in the trophy cabinet

 

[Athenspur]

Announce him already.
Oh.

 

[harethkale]

Bane, or Kale?

I deliberated over that for a while, but you can see from my username that I went for Kale...

 

[topper]

I’d just like to say to all of you doubters here on SC, HOLD this L. I fucking told you he was coming home.

Best news of the day - yankspurs can get some sleep!

That profile picture is the stuff of nightmares, but I dig it.

 

[tobi]

The admin needs to cool off.

 

[jay2040]

Never has a video so short aroused such emotion!

 

[Darth Vega]

At least now we know why it took them so long

 

[McFlash]

Annnnnd now I'm going to drink a beer.

I'll be honest, I haven't stopped drinking since the great avatar change moment!
I'm just gonna carry on for a bit.

 

[chrissivad]

Let's hope this time around he has a better start win wise...

 

[IGSpur]

Stepped in to say. Cant believe Bale's actually back

 

[spurs mental]

Nearly an hour since it was announced.

Still taking it in.

The gravity of this signing. Imagine being Kane, sitting in the dressing room. You look across and theres Gareth Bale. Hes won it all. And now hes ours again.

This sort of signing will take us to the level we want to be at.

 

[degoose]

Amazing and now it's fully confirmed. Fuck me I said I'd give an extra tenner to this lovely place if he signed. I'll stick to my word #COYS

 

[Jamturk]

Congratulations everyone

 

[joelstinton14]

It’s quite remarkable how quickly this happened. This time last week this was a pipe dream. Even when our ITK mentioned post Everton this was a possibility it seemed doubtful. But here we are.

Get the the fuck in.

 

[Stoof]

A victory for avatar changing.

You know Wout to do now.

He still needs to get a striker in...

Best player I've ever seen in a spurs shirt, and we get to see him again. If he's even half the player he used to be, we are in for a treat.
