Good morning.
Arry’s come out and defended the boy Bale, saying he’s no diver I see. Well Aitch I hate to be the first to break it to you old girl, but he is a bit of a diver.
I don’t believe intrinsically that the lad’s a cheat, he strikes me as a decent sort. More a case of Gaz having become increasingly fed up with frustrated players who can’t catch him fair and square giving him the odd trip up, the odd push.
We keep getting these comparisons to Christiano Ronaldo being made about him, but it’s important that Bale ensures that he isn’t tarred with the same ‘cheat brush’ as the Portugeezer.
Here’s my mob for the Mancs then…
Given the inherent speed and potential for goals in this side there is no need for two strikers. This also leaves us with an attack minded bench if required.
The back four is cobbled together, but then it is difficult to remember a time when it wasn’t.
All that remains to be said is that Bale needs to get chalk on his boots and if Dawson or Benny are caught hoofing they agree to being executed live in the centre circle at full time. Method of death tbc but it will involve a threshing machine and some Des O’Connor records. Commentary by Eddie Waring and Stuart Hall.
Eyecatcher bets Anytime goalscorers Niko Kranjcar 7/2, Younes Kaboul 7/1 and 1-1 at half time is a handy 6/1 prices from Boylesports.
Wouldn’t play Krankie again….ever, he was a passenger in the first half against ar5eana1, to be honest I didn’t realise he was playing until I saw the highlights on MOTD….Livermore and Sandro in front of the back 4 with one up front, Azza and the boy Bale on the wings, their preferred wings at that and Modric with a free role….BIOYSC
I concur. After last week I feel we cannot afford another hiding.
The King is dead long live the King!
I vant believe you would let him play after Walcott tore him apart, the man cant run and had a shocker for me>
Let him finish his Spurs career with dignity
1 ropey game in how many?? Give the man a break.
“Give the man a break”
That’s what DessySpur wants, but permanently.
Agree Bale needs to toughen up but on the other hand he has been on the end of some shocking assaults ( Adam and Essien to name but 2 ) and Walker’s injury came following a studs up challenge by a gooner which barely got a mention. Had Walker jumped out of the way he would not be a doubt for tomorrow.
Also, the diver jibe seems to be coming from a lot of gooners who remained silent when Pires, Ljunberg, Bergkamp and Henry were all impersonating Jacques Cousteau on a weekly basis.
If fit, Walker must start.
As far as CM is concerned, a bit concerned Carrick, Scholes and Giggs will monopolise possession but let’s hope not and we are certainly owed a big performance after last Sunday.
Got a horrible feeling the scum will beat Liverpool today. They are adopting the Tony Adams offside defensive tactic at the moment.
gomes :daumen:
