Gareth reckons that when he dives it isn't really cheating, he sees it as just taking precautionary measures to avoid injuries. Massive cheat that he is.
If people want to say I’m diving they can, but at the end of the day I’m trying to get out of the way and save myself and my career. You’ve just got to try to be a bit clever about it. I’ve got a few people sent off this year by doing that.
Here he saving his life by getting out of the way of some invisible defender.
Thats an awful dive!
Massive tit.
GUILLEM SAYS: while Mourinho has been disappointed by Luka Modric, he is going to push him to work harder defensively. As for your other questions, I don't think Essien will stay unless he is dirt cheap in terms of wages, while I think Nuri Sahin will be sold; he is not a Mourinho-type player
I never laugh at Tottenham unless we are mathematically above them.
Boring.
What a joke.
Come on, he's just protecting his career.
Was that given a penalty?
Of course.
I guess, in some way at least, he is in a similar class to CR7.
I don't like the guy but CR7 (ugh) cleaned up his act a long time ago. He cheats - but not more than your average footballer. Bale and Suarez are, by some distance, the worst in our league.
CR7 is a fantastic footballer. Hard not to like as a player (i'm assuming that's what you mean).
In playing terms (I see redknapp rates him as being in messi and ronaldos class) bale is nowhere near ronaldos level
Hard to like on the pitch because of his antics IMO. He IS a fantastic footballer though. Ronaldo that is.
There are at least a 20 players better than Bale in the PL alone.
Clitlloris had a very good game for France V Spain saving a Fabregrease penalty on the way to earning a draw.
Bale's nowhere on the same level as Ronaldo. Anyone who thinks so needs to get real.
Bale's just an impressive athlete who runs fast and hard up the wing and bangs away at the end of his run.
That is sort of what Ronaldo does as well. Only better. 🙂
Watching Bale try and play more through the middle last season was pitiful.
Yep, that's because Bale's basically a slightly more talented Aaron Lennon.
I reckon even Theo might be Better Than Bale, he's certainly a better finisher and no less speedy, Bale's occasional toe-poked golazo aside.
