    Nowhere near as good as Zidane's in 2002 imo. No doubt whatsoever that ZZ was in total control of the ball when he struck it in that perfect moment.

    As for Bale's on Saturday, those bicycle kicks always look spectacular, but there is a huge element of luck when they come off. Great athleticism to strike the ball cleanly, sure, but after that it's down to providence where it ends up.

    He'll probably go to Wolves. They seem to have cash to spare.

    Yep can see him there on £300k a week in front of 30,000 inbreds.

    The sheer audacity of Bale’s makes it the best for me. Take nothing away from Zidane, his goal was phenomenal but Bale essentially had no right to score that goal, he barely had time to think and yet somehow managed to flip his body 90-180 degrees and hit it so sweetly the keeper (albeit it was Karius <laugh>) had no chance of stopping it.

    Incidentally, when he scored for you lot at St Mary's it was noticeable that he didn't celebrate.

    I don't think WHL is his Spiritual Home mate.

    I’ll confess something that makes me feel queasy. When I saw Zidane subbing him on, I called him a Gareth Fail. :emoticon-0110-tongu

    He did celebrate, it was just rather toned down:


    Here's another for comparison:

    i love that all the Spurs boys are getting such a hard on for Bale and his return to WHL.

    It will make the butthurt even more painful when he moves to United.

    United? I’m not sure he’d be happy about being converted to a defender at this point in his career.

    We're just enjoying one of our old players ruining Liverpool's season. He's not coming back to Spurs.
    Have fun in the Europa League again, though. <ok>

  17. I think some posters believe that HIAG speaks for all Spurs fans! In fairness I sometimes wish he did <laugh>

    Yeah, he didn't do too well when he took you there, either:
