I started work at a new place about a month ago. Anyway, today I talked footy with my boss for the first time (she asked me how my weekend was and told her it was good apart from Spurs not making CL). She then went onto tell me that her son, who she'd previously told me was a charter plane pilot, flew the squad over to Wales for the game against Swansea a few weeks back. According to him, they were a fairly rowdy, unlikeable lot....she said her son had flown both Arsenal and Chelsea previously, who, according to him were as good as gold (John Terry the personification of politeness apparently). Anyway, she said that the 'Welsh one' (and when I asked "who, Gareth Bale?", she said "yes, that's the one") asked her son if it was okay for them to "stick on the wog box", before breaking into a sheepish smile and saying"oops, we're not allowed to say that anymore cos its racist innit" and then laughing his arse off. He then proceeded to head to the back of the plane with the boombox and start dancing with a few of the others.
Other choice selections included the son (who doesn't know anything about football) asking what position Bale played and whether he was any good, which pissed Bale right off but apparently made a few of the others laugh.
Could all be nonsense of course but I don't see that she had any reason to make it up. I know footballers acting like pricks is not exactly earth shattering news but it did leave me a little disappointed......he comes across as such a nice, unassuming lad on the telly!
