1-1 at Arsenal.
And Real Madrid announce it on their website, apparently.
Balenaldo.
World record transfer says the pillock outside the Bernabeu.
What about the 'more than one bid on the table' bollocks from last week? I imagine we are just supposed to forget that was ever mentioned...
All quotes from Levy on Spuds' official twitter.'Gareth was a player we had absolutely no intention of selling as we look to build for the future'
He is a player whose career we have fostered and developed and he was only a year into his new four year contract'
Such has been the attention from Real Madrid and so great is Gareth's desire to join them, that we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season
We have, therefore, with great reluctance, agreed to this sale and do so in the knowledge that we have an exceptionally strong squad'

Bale.
Looking forward to seeing him comb 25 yarders in without wincing now.
Does he now have to match Messnaldo's scoring record and sheer level of consistency?
Would an [ordinarily very good] say 20 goals a season be enough for him not to be considered a flop?
Tough act to follow, whether he's just below the world record or just above it.
