    Magic!

    Bales confidence has helped him rediscover his free kick mojo!

    How does he go from missing an open goal to that in the space of a few minutes?

    He's a bit better with his left foot.

    A few days ago I was not wanting Bale to take free kicks as they hasn't been very good. I suppose they are a bit like buses!

    Think we definitely got away with that as it was a pretty stone wall penalty.

    But what's the point of having the players and the money?

    Answer: to win football matches and competitions, the glory, the special moments. If we win the Europa League or the FA Cup or the League Cup that will be a special moment and will be a bit of glory.

    It would have been a soft penalty. But yeah, lucky the ref didn't give it.

    Thought it looked like a pen myself. Dodgy moment from Verts - had a few of them lately.

    Nope, stonewall penalty. You got away with it big time.

    I'm thinking more and more pens are the luck of the draw. A penalty there would have been justified, but it wasn't as bad as the one Man U should have given up yesterday. It seems as if maybe 2/3 penalties which "should" be given aren't.

    it did look like a blatant pen, however gomis has a clumsy body movement which is likely the reason for the ref not giving it.

    I hear you., and I'm all for glory, but why get rid of Redknapp to aim for mediocrity.

    As good as Bale's free kick was, that strike from Umtiti totally surpassed it. Incredible <yikes>

    Lloris would have saved that.......
    You have to hold your hands up sometimes and say great goal. Unbelievable strike. That is probably a 1 in 100 to catch that as perfectly as that.
