This whole Bale love in has been bordering on that Python sketch. He innocently leaves some Kenesio tape on the changing room floor one minute and 30 seconds later someone’s clutching ‘a sign’.
Bale’s extraordinary arrival could be just what the doctor ordered.
I don’t mean in respect of what he achieves on the pitch and all that mallarky, rather the way Spurs are perceived. If this lad can hold his resolve, if Levy & Co can ensure they do their bit and not act with so much dispassion that it allows the boys’ head to be turned, then this could be a pivotal moment for the Tottinghams.
For some time it has grated me that we have essentially been a selling club. Yeah,yeah I know there is a list of players we have managed to hang on to, but please – none of them have quite caught the eye of others like those who did abandon us.
No matter how high the regard we hold Azza Blud or anyone else for that matter, they have not had a queue around the block of suitors waving carrier bags of used notes.
But Bale is doing a bloody good impression of, ‘the real deal’ so this is our chance to send out a message that the days of Carrick, Berbatoss and PSB are behind us.
The prattle will commence in earnest this afternoon. Honest. And on a not entirely unrelated housekeeping matter can I apologize to anyone who emailed me on my new address or indeed the old one of late. Both appear to be made of cheese. Normal service will be resumed and I wasn’t being rude.
Oh yes, decent response to the comp yesterday – looks like most of you got it wrong. Apart from Toddspurs.

That Sandro is not ready for the first team yet. Him and Palacios got completely owned together in the middle today.
That wrecked the whole shape of the side because Modric and Kranjcar had to stay back to help out the midfield leaving Crouch isolated.
At least we are going great guns in Europe and can buy a striker or two in January but in the league we look off the pace.
If we don’t get three points on Tuesday, I honestly believe it will be time to prioritise the CL and FA cup.
With the players we have, why are Bolton above us and Sunderland and WBA (who could also go above us today)on the same points?
I’ll tell you why. Redknapp is a (unt and Levy is equally culpable for not securing a quality finisher.
I feel the time is rapidly approaching when Levy has to ask himself the question, “Has ‘Arry taken us us far as he can?”
This is not to discount what HR has achieved at WHL, the “2 points from 8 games” mantra thru to CL qualification. But, in every profession everyone has their niche, and I believe that HR may have now bumped against his own glass ceiling.
We have a good (even very good) squad which should be performing much better in bread & butter league games than it does. Yesterdays performance is totally unacceptable for a perported top 4 side, plus earlier performances against Wigan and Everton for example.
Personally I believe that sooner rather than later Levi should thank HR for all his good work and show him the door. The trickier problem is who to replace HR ? Maybe one of the Dutch guys (but not Jol).
