His technique is amazing, he is using his foot like a golf club and driving the ball with the side of his foot. All that time on the golf course is paying off!

Ex-Spurs Player Gareth Bale

It's a technique based upon the table-tennis idea of adding massive topspin to dramatically increase the dip of the ball once it slows from the initial powerful strike.
Perfect for beating a wall and then bouncing at a goalies feet, or going in the top corners if you're closer to the penalty area.

Fair point, he can hit it straight top spin or inside-out so keepers don't know which side it's going
People used to say that about a certain Mr Gerrard, you know.
Well so do we
Any one else notice the new short corner routine that Bale fluffed a few times? Maybe it will come good later on down the line.
Style 5 - Whatever the fuck you call the current one.
It's the "I wanna look like Lewis Holtby"
Well we should start putting in performances which show this desire.
I particularly direct your attention to the "10 games unbeaten" bit.
I know the debate will go on about Bale, but at what point do you as a teammate of his say to yourself "That is something, I want to play harder now". Can moments or players such as him, and be honest he is special, inspire others around him to step it up to another level? I hope so, because what Lennon has been doing this year is phenomel, working harder than I have seen any winger in a while. Would love to see his tackle/challenge amounts this year. Back to the subject, I hope his teammates get that extra gear and incentive this year and push us over the finish line in our best position yet in the PL.
You definitely improve whilst playing and training with better players. Let's hope his and our great form continues.
Gaa's got some strong knitwear game going on here
Standard disclaimers apply, but this doesn't sound like someone eager to leave before making a more lasting mark. I think if we qualify for the CL this year and Bale is touching some silver w/in 18 months, his move will get pushed a bit further down the road. Maybe he'll be the face of the club when the new stadium opens…The Sun via f365 said:
I also like how he refers to our rivals as woolwich.
If only!
Why do we always start talking before the NLD. Do it on the pitch, finish above the scum and then talk! :rafaaaa:
If we are only allowed to talk when we finish above the Scum it would be quiet on here. We haven't for 15 years, but it's not about them. It's about us continueing our good form. Win tomorrow and we'll back to the 3rd. We know very well what the stakes are.
And we need Bale and co to step up!

Keeps his turtleneck game tight.
