We should have a Bale Mood Meter on the banner. We'll get Kentucky to write it up.

But an arrow moving from red to green showing the 7 sem-bale-ances of G-bop

Bale-ful :devil:
Bale-istic :mad:
Bale-eak :(
Tolera-bale :cyclops:
Respecta-bale (y)
Bale-guiled :)
Ju-bale-ant :woot:


We should have auto correct on all things GB as :sleep: :sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep: and so on.

Not as much as Man U - its irrelevant for some reason, having to do with how it's structured.

Because man utd can actually afford to service their debt and don't have to do illegal land deals with the local council in order to avoid bankruptcy??

Its been a subject fror a couple of years. Now mooted it will be imposed by Spanish government http://www.footballeconomy.com/content/spain-move-collective-sale-tv-rights

Unrelated but ECB has been putting pressure on Spanish to force a change so that RM and Barca pay tax (they currently do not ubder Spaniah law) - Spanish economy is supported by ECB so ECB has some clout.

All in all Real Madrid's future finances are potentially much less robust than some believe.

Now thats where thing start to fall down for me

RM are the nationally funded team from Madrid

Barca are not dissimilar but from the north of spain.

Horrible setup for a league

There is good reason for the fact that his stock has fallen, as in anybody who has seen him play more than a couple of games can tell; he is really not very good. In fact I'll just come out and say something that many will find unpopular, he will never be as good as Adebayor is now..
If he turns up he is better than Adebayor is now.

Now if the Adebayor from the Chelsea game can be bothered to show up for more than a couple of games I would agree.

All SSN and other journos on Balewatch. Great cover for tying up deals for Lamela, Hulk, Erikson...or whoever. The press want Bale stories so let's give them more

Makes sense, tell Gareth to stay at home, twitch his curtains a bit and keep the press occupied on the basis that we can get our business done quicker and safer away from prying eyes.

In all seriousness though, does it not make sense to limit the press circus at our training ground in the week leading up to the NLD when there are already enough distractions. On it's own I wont read anything into Bale staying home today. It makes sense to be on a bit of a lockdown this week and the world and his dog will be following Bales every move. The Bale circus at the training ground is not conducive to a lockdown situation.

Maybe they should've told him to stay in Marbella then...
