I'm honestly having a hard time actually believing he's going to play for us again. My rational brain knows we've signed him and there is photographic proof (or is there?!), but it feels utterly unreal, like when I saw the Golden Gate bridge for the first time and couldn't quite believe I was actually there.

Yes, I am specifically comparing him to a bridge, albeit a really nice one.

I've time stamped the game at 46 seconds here where Bale is motoring past new £45m Arsenal signing Thomas Partey like he isn't even there. Like Partey is towing a caravan!

I didn't realize it was our own Toby he beat to the ball there to score his winning goal in the '14 CL final

5:51



Nice banter material for him :)

Luka Modrić on Gareth:

"I have spent a lot of time with Gareth, almost all of my professional career: four years at Tottenham and seven years here. What I can say about Gareth is that he's an amazing guy," Modric told COPE.

"He's a little bit shy, his personality is very similar to mine. What has been said about him lately is not fair, maybe he's judged for the last few years, but what he did in Madrid is extraordinary.

"For me he's always going to be remembered as a player who did a lot for this team, for this club. A lot of things have been said, but Gareth never had any issue with anyone in the dressing room, he's a wonderful guy.

"He spoke Spanish, for example, he did not give any interviews, but in the dressing room he would joke a little bit and he talked with us, and everybody was really happy with him really. But for sure, in the last few years a few things came up and maybe they forgot what he's done for this club. But in a few years' time he will be remembered as an incredible player, an important player for Real Madrid.

"Everybody has his own behaviour, and does things their own way. Gareth was like that, he would not really connect with the rest of us but I'm telling you, it was really good to have him in the changing room and I'm very sorry that everything he's done has been forgotten in the past year."

Would love to see some training videos of Bale and Vinicius. From memory, we haven't really had a decent training video of a new signing since the likes of Moura and Lo Celso. Maybe we have stopped doing them or maybe I've just missed them but I used to enjoy watching the training clips.

Lol, cue "MODRIC OUT" from Madristas now that he's siding with Bareth.

Soon we'll have Croatia flags with:

CHICKEN BADGE. CROATIA. MADRID.

In that order.


Modric to Spurs 2021. Here we gooooooooooooooo!

Why is our training gear pink though? ?‍♂️

Don’t get me wrong, it looks pretty and kinda cool but just seems a tad random lol.
