Wonder if that will stop any players from doing their random spitting, if it might be deemed to be in the direction of another player?!
It's a disgusting habit and unfortunate that the camera always seem to be on a player when they spit (Rooney does it a lot) but I don't think that player was aiming AT the Spurs player, he just did it probably from habit after he walked off.
And a WBA sub has just run on the pitch and the first thing he did when the camera was on him - was spit!
He's just run on the pitch!
When I'm running and HAVE to spit, I will always turn and do it behind me. Anything but that is intent to me.

Considering how much spitting players do (always in front of them) I'm amazed the ref sent him off for that.
And compared to some disgusting globs that have been spat out when the camera is on the player, that one today was nothing.
If he was to prove to me for the rest of the season that he's got the consistency
I don't think there's much risk of that not happening again, he's been largely on form for a few seasons now. Obviously everyone has off-games, except maybe Messi and Ronaldo, but he would definately be a great addition to Manchester United in my opinion, Fellaini as well.
It's depressing comparing Bale to the likes of Nani, Manchester United need better quality than Nani, and this season's Valencia bring, to have ambitions of champions league domination, the likes of additions such as Bale is a must in my opinion.
Bale is one of the very few people I'd happily have us spend big on. I'm now at a point where I'm almost pleading for it to happen. 35-40 million would be well worth it, would be an unbelievable addition to the side.
I would expect Bale to be a Ronaldo type as he develops. An all rounder, coming in from the wing.
We have a good record with paying top money for long-term players but Spurs tend to get top money for their players and the bigger they get as a potential top 4 team the less they would ever want to strengthen us. Cant really blame them for that i suppose.
In all due respect to Tottenham Nostrikers, Bale is becoming a big fish in a small pond. I would happily see the departure of Young and Nani to part fund a Bale transfer.

Definitely. Hes the type of player who would cost big money but would be a first XI position sorted for 7+ years, like Rio, Rooney and Carrick.
So we're all finally warming to Bale then? Always get the impression on here that you think he's overrated. I understand the frustration with the price tag, but occassionally we have to spend big, he would be the player to bring in for our aging midfield.
He is class no doubt about it.
ETA - ooh, 1-1, sturridge is a good signing for liverpool

Always rated him, just feel he would probably be overpriced. Having said that i dont mind paying over the odds a bit for the right player.

That tells you all you need to know about Arsenal's ambitions.

Someone on BBC comments already saying £60m.
Horrendous valuation.
Not a hope!
£40m wouldn't shock me though.
If he was to prove to me for the rest of the season that he's got the consistency, then I wouldn't say no to offering £35-40m

Can we accommodate him in the middle, then?
No... We can't accommodate the ones we have. As a winger though I'd love him but I think he is one of those pipe dreams

7 points it is.
Lol that was quick to write them of

BBC changed the table before the ball was retrieved from the net!
