He'll find it hard not to celebrate. Would this upset you? Personally, I don't think it would be much of an issue to be honest.

Gareth Bale will struggle to control himself if he scores late winner for Real Madrid against Tottenham
The Welshman will face his former club for the first time in a competitive setting

Gareth Bale has admitted he will struggle to control himself should he score the winner for Real Madrid in his return to face Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs were drawn in what is widely regarded as the Champions League ‘group of death’ alongside holders and 12-time winners Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia.

It will be the first time Bale has faced the club he left in a world-record £86m deal in 2013 in a competitive environment, although it will be in an unfamiliar environment, with Tottenham now playing home games at Wembley rather than White Hart Lane.

I hate all that non-celebrating bollocks. We're not paying him to do his job anymore. He should definitely celebrate success with his current employers. The state of people.
 
Personally I feel like enough time has passed where I wouldn't be worried if he celebrated scoring against us as long as it is tasteful. It's not like he just made the move. It's been 4 years.
 
Not celebrating a goal is pointless. He plays for another team, and is perfectly entitled to be happy if he scores an important goal. Just as long as he doesn't do an Adebayor

Bale is not a Spurs fan and owes us no special loyalty. Nutter-Naylor Nutter-Naylor says we made him what he is today. I respectfully disagree. His talent is what made him what he is today. Bale wears the shirt of Real and that is the club with whom his loyalties lie for as long as he wears it. With that in mind, why shouldn't he celebrate a goal against us? Absolutely he should.
 
I got the sense from reading that, that he would try not to celebrate but if it was an important goal might not be able to contain it. I think the headline is making out to be something disrespectful towards us whereas really it is a non-story.

I'm with Mr. Nutter here.

He really arrived as a super-athletic but pretty average left back. Someone here the other day posted the team from the West Brom match of 2010 (?). Out of curiosity I looked it up on Spurs Odyssey archives, btw critical of Bale at LB. Benny on the bench, a far better LB imo.

The last time I saw him play LB for Spurs, AVB decided to move him back there v QPR (who were crap at the time). 1-0 down at HT, lucky it wasn't 2 or 3. Obvious from 10 mins in that he was poor. . Changed at HT and won 2-1.

Several other matches I can recall where he just went awol on the marking. Even poor teams, like Leeds away cup replay.

He's friggin' lucky that he joined us and ended up in a more attacking role. He should be that grateful, he ought to bloody well celebrate if he scores an oggie for us.

Would he have won 3 Champions League medals had he stayed at Southampton?
 
Really don't care. He left ages ago. He doesn't feel Spurs any more to me. He did become the player he was with us - that is unquestionable for me, but he's long gone.
