Now Razor was a defender we could do with now !!
Cannot dare believe we have Bale back !! we are signing characters with winning mentality, about time !
We really have been crying out for players like that.

It’s a wind up from The Fighting Cock ?

I know you all love this..

The aircraft is currently en route from Luton, trackable here.

ETA in Madrid is 0900 UK.

Dept from Madrid is 10:00 UK, ETA IN Luton 11:36 UK

Yesterday everyone was stalking for a Citation XLS because someone mentioned he owned one, so here's me filtering Flightradar for C56X and he's not even using his own plane, the flash bastard.

How does this work then, do they hitch his up to the tow bar, or does he get someone else to relocate his one? I prefer the first option.

edit: That flight, that make of plane, not appearing on flightradar's site anyway. Conspiracy! :p
edit 2: Is this the one? https://www.flightradar24.com/E35L/2588d3fd

It's interesting listening to some pundits and fans of other teams who are saying Bale is past his best. I was curious, so went and found highlights from all of the Real games he played in this past year as well as the Wales games. The guy is still class. Even in the Real games where it was clear his heart was not in it, he still had 1-2 moments of brilliance each game that was just on another level. I can't imagine what he is going to do once he gets that fire back and feels the love.

I was just thinking. I have been on this site since 2005! Meaning I have followed every Spurs signing for the last 15 years and upto 30 transfer windows here. In that time I have met my other half, got married and had 2 kids. Seen at least half a dozen Managers hired and fired. I have spent hours watching transfer sagas play out successfully and unsuccessfully both incoming and outgoing; Damaio, Arshavan, Berbatov, VDV, Bale, Modric, Isco, Dybala, Fabiano to name just a fraction.

However this whirlwind in the last few days has stired up something in me. It's been special!

Thanks for the memories! A donation coming when the signings are made!
Wow same too. But the small exception of the bedroom action ? I have been too busy in there to console myself with the occasional spurs poor performance.?

I remember when we sold him to Real, it was one of the saddest day for me in my spurs supporting career.

Today I am super excited.

I love that flight tracking itk (aka stalking) has evolved to include the plane’s journey to rendezvous.

Kind of like ordering an Uber and following your driver’s progress as he gets stuck in traffic, misses your turning - twice - and then takes a ridiculously circuitous route to get to you. Meanwhile, his promised arrival time of 2 minutes has stretched to 15, you’re now late but still feel you have to rate him as a 5/5 and give him a decent tip because otherwise your rating will take a nosedive and other Uber drivers will henceforward refuse to pick you up. ?

Hopefully today’s G-THFC pilots know where Madrid airport is.

I was there as well, also from Torbay, and you didn’t even mention the fact that he scored a classic Bale worldy from outside the box in that game too.

I was looking forward to telling my grandkids about it someday in the years to come. Looks like I’ll just have to mention it was his last game “the first time round.” Absolutely buzzing.
Yes he did, classic Bale finish at that time, looking forward to seeing that again (hopefully) ?⚽️?

So far it's showing up as three different models from the same manufacturer (I was filtering by the ICAO designation), but the only site that has it's callsign is that planefinder one.
