Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[M.I.B.]

Mate I'm roaming in Iraq on my UK contract how do you think I fucking feel.

Rambo? Dat you man?

 

[samspurs92]

It makes literally no difference.

What a great day of ups and no downs.

Still can't quite believe it all.

Night lads.

Take your calm, rational thoughts elsewhere Stoof.

 

[ajspurs]

I'm not mad, we've got Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilòn which is incredible regardless of how and when they're announced. If it's tomorrow then so be it, something to look forward to

 

[JayB]

How to literally take all the hype out of a major announcement? Dont announce it on a clean day and instead when theres football matches on all day.

Is it really so bad? It'll be a topic of discussion on nearly every Premier League match broadcast around the world. No doubt it will get massive exposure no matter what. It's disappointing for us obsessive fans as we've all been looking forward to watching the interviews, etc. but it's hardly a problem for the club.

What a shower of shite, he arrived at Hotspur way just before 2? I just don’t get it.

Probably squeezed 18 holes in and is celebrating at the 19th

 

[mil1lion]

The announcement video better win awards

It's the Snyder cut

 

[desert spur]

didn't spurs delay Bale's announce to Real so that they had to set/strike the stage or something? Am I (mis)remembering that? turnabout is fair play, haha.


mmm, thanks for the tasty spam @scottishbairn

Saturday would be a strange time to do it, but reckon it will be 9/10ish. I'm sure the club announced Modric on a Saturday, so not entirely without precident.

So disappointing - always leave something bitter. Spending whole last 12 hours anticipating, and now is already way past 5am in Singapore.

The club comms team need sorting out ffs. Good night.

 

[Ghost of John White]

Just to add, we were told this from two different sources, the first at 7pm. We weren't 100% confident and thought we'd look like idiots if we posted "tomorrow" and then he was announced minutes later so we left it, then Dragon1 seemed confident it'd be tonight still. Second source confirmed it'll be announced tomorrow.

I`m a believer at this point. Good night.

 

[easley91]

It's actually funny watching everyone lose their shit to be honest

 

[spud]

I've been putting off going for a shower all evening so I dont miss this. I'm going for it now and I bet it'll be announced

Don't be silly. Nobody is going to announce your shower.

 

[samspurs92]

Hadn't appreciated they'd done another Alex Morgan one that I hadn't seen... ??‍

I believe the words you were looking for were “I’m sorry for accusing you of making something up”

Apology accepted.

 

[Wadec]

Dont know why we could not get that info earlier? No worries but could have saved some energy and nerves here.

Whatever, see you tmrw

Edit: cheers Rob

Impeccable timing, unlike the Spurs PR team.

 

[Yid-ol]

We always do things the hard way don’t we.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Oh my God I love this club so much. They keep us on our toes in so many ways.

 

[Led Revolver]

Typical Tottenham.. the last drop of enthusiasm has been finally drained of what should be a historic homecoming.

Tomorrows announcement will feel like a relief rather than a time of celebration.

Sod the opening of the international markets. What about the season ticket holders and the home and away supporters!?

 

[SandroRedknapp]

They're waiting for Weghorst to fly over for a triple announcement imo

 

[St José Dominguez]

00:01 announcement then.

Fuck me - wish you’d told me at 1900 ??

Would have done something with my life.

(I wouldn’t - I’d still be sat on the sofa drinking beer)
