Bale - overrated?


"World Class" is banded around willy nilly in modern football, to many players are assigned this title, on the merit of a game or run of form. Gareth Bale is a good player, in fact he is a very good player, but World Class?

To be honest, the John Terry England captaincy story has made its splash in the water and the ripple effect isn’t as bad as initially feared. Fans and players have, in the majority, welcomed back Terry as captain so, in my opinion; it’s time to move on from the whole scenario.
Since the debacle of South Africa, the youth of England are being looked at in a different light, the golden generation is over and the new boys need to be blooded in and tried out. Here is a rundown of who I think could make the grade at each position:
That was the quote used by Harry Rednapp after Darren Bent could have won the game for us a few years back against Portsmouth.
A frustrating afternoon for Tottenham today confirmed one important piece missing from Harry Redknapp’s puzzle – a proven striker. Spurs had a total of 31 shots today (including ones blocked) with at least 14 of those on target yet couldn’t find the back of the net.
I would not suggest that Bale doesn’t deserve the award. He’s been very good and his value has skyrocketed in the last 12 months
You could feel the relief around White Hart Lane.
Normally when I write a blog it’s me moaning about something Spurs have or haven’t done or giving grief to a spurs player for something they have or haven’t done but what can I say about last night
Facing relegation as their ship was unsteadily steered by forgotten Spaniard Juande Ramos, the Tottenham board opted to appoint football’s answer to Derek Trotter in a bid to stave off the daunting prospect of Championship football
Different clubs, competitions, banter between fans, commitment to one team.
It’s a big weekend for a few premier league clubs this weekend
As a Southampton fan, I’ve been lucky enough to witness many great defenders pull on the famous red and white striped jersey over the last two decades, and Dean Richards was one of the finest.
The defender was on loan to then League Two side Bournemouth and playing centre-back week-in, week-out in hope of impressing his parent club Portsmouth.
Well Bloomfield Road is another ground that we can add to the list of away grounds that spurs struggle at. This is the reason why spurs probably won’t finish in the top four this year.
It was seen as the “Golden Generation”.
