Gareth Bale should keep his mouth shut, remember what goes around comes around & hopefully when you next play us you get thrashed well and truly. You’re a nothing team with a crook for a manager, who aspires to be England Manager.

Pipe down woman!! Bale was obviously asked about it by the press as referred to Modric as ‘he’ with this artcial not mentioning him elsewhere. Youre being just as graceful as that idiot goalkeeper of yours who has been piping up instead of just taking a defeat!

Yes, Bale has the right to his opinion and so does Szczesny. What give you the right to call him idiot? If you have your own opinion, by all mean voice it up.
Btw, Arsenal is a team in transition, having to cope with the loss of Cesc and Nasri and the long list of injuries. Souldn’t take a genius to know that. Let’s wait for the end of the season before we pass any judgement. Let it be remembered that Arsenal has been competing in the CL for the past 14 years and I believe the team has what it takes to continue the tradition.
To be fair to Bale, he didn’t say anything wrong and he certainly didn’t say that Arsenal is a team on the decline. He even acknowledged that Arsenal is still a great team and would surely improve.

Yeah you are right I was saying a bit of that to wind up Judith for those comments! lol
But I still think Szczesny is an idiot but that goes back to him provoking the crowd in the 3-3 draw.
Your team in transition part is optimistic (fair play I would be the same!) as this transfer window turned you into a selling club (Arteta + great signing but nothing on Nasri and Fabregas, not sure about Yussi).
The Champions league part, 14 years and still only 3-4 months is all it takes for half your fans to turn on Wenger!
But trying not to stray from the point most of these articals are press fuelled anyway.

Bale was only speaking the truth…if anything i think he was being complimentary.
So long Arsenal, your name reflects the way you play….
Go the Spurs!!

Your lot deserved the win. A pity you’ve got no class with your petty insulting comments. We’ll see what the future holds, but don’t be too sure it’s all going to go your way. Bale indeed spoke the truth; it is massive to beat the bigger teams!

I would say there has been some pretty insulting comments from both sides so get off your high horse.

Greg, writ eus off at your peril, you’ve been in our shadwow in the main for 22+ years. This is despite Bale doing absolutely bugger all for the 90 minutes. The worlds most over rated player.

What is not shown in this article, Bale said “Arsenal don’t scare them any more”, Well said Arsenal’s form is temporary and will bounce back soon. Totenham has never scared anyone and I am sure will never scare any team as you will always be an average team. You played a weaker Arsenal team you will ever face at home and got a lucky win. If that is your ultimate target to get a result against Arsenal and finishing outside the top 4 which I am sure if not Arsenal Liverpool will finish above you, you should know you are not playing in the top team of England.
