Gareth Bale’s return to passable form for a man on in excess of £600,000 a week has taken a good while, signed in August, only really began moving at speed in March. It was understandable that fans were going to express discontent at the poor return on Daniel Levy’s most expensive salary, ever.
I’m not sure about the not saying anything stupid element, Bale’s Instagram posting sent José Mourinho into a rage which saw the Portuguese go public to ensure that everybody knew that the boy’s training session had not gone well, in fact, had quit in order to get a scan of his leg, which then showed nothing.
Getting back to winning ways is where we all want to be, but Spurs need to win silverware, not just eke out an existence by thumping European minnows and teams like Burnley who are having off-days. These quotes from The Enfield Independent are pleasing, but after so much wasted time, Tottenham will expect further improvement and there is a cup final booked.
