Gareth Bale

Damn that's gotta hurt...

 

[AnfieldEd]

That's his season over and Spurs CL hopes vanished.

 

[Deco 20]

I don't think anything's broken, it could be as minor as a sprain... Difficult to say from that photo, but I don't think he's broken the foot/ankle/leg which would be a real concern

 

[Superfly]

Probably not broken, likely ligament damage, but looks like 4-6 weeks to me.

 

[Jenks]

You just know Arsenal will sneak fourth now.

 

[Trickykid]

The Ujfalusi tackle on Messi a few seasons ago looked just as bad, and turned out to be a matter of a week's or so layoff for Messi. So yeah, hard to tell really.

 

[ThwiX]

Yeah, we all thought Messi would be out for a long time after that, but he was back the week after, IIRC.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Probably not broken, likely ligament damage, but looks like 4-6 weeks to me.

4-6 is end of middle of May thus end of season.

 

[Ode to Django]

I think moving him centrally will do more harm than good in the long run.

 

[impeh]

AVB was hopeful he'll make the city game, which means he may only miss two matches.. think hes having a scan today.

Spurs are in trouble though, i think theyll mess it up again and miss out on the CL

 

[Galning]

What do you mean mess it up again? Last year they finished 4th it was just because Chelsea won the Champions League that they didn't qualify.

 

[impeh]

Yeh, they were unlucky last year, but their form usually dips towards the end of the season they were flying a few weeks ago, got hammered by inter and havnt been the same since.. i think arsenal/Chelsea will pip them to 4th.

 

[Galning]

Well if you just look at their squads I think it's normal. Maybe they can hold back Arsenal but Chelsea has a better team than Tottenham.

 

[Robbie]

Spurs and Chelsea still have to face each other. It's going to get very close

 

[Karnivore]

Well if you just look at their squads I think it's normal. Maybe they can hold back Arsenal but Chelsea has a better team than Tottenham.

We also have an idiot in charge, which balances it out. Give Ferguson or Mourinho our team and we'd have won the league at an absoloute canter. I can't wait till Benitez fucks off back to Spain.
