Thing is it's one of the worst dives I've ever seen, Guzan was miles away from him.

Why didn't the linesman flag it for a dive? Must admit when I first saw it I thought they'd both met the ball and it came off Bale for a throw. But the linesman was perfectly positioned to see what Bale did.

Decent enough 1st half - Vlaar looking solid and gabby and benteke linking well at times.

Although the 1st half at saints was ok too so let's not get carried away yet.

Encouraging performces from Gabby who is linking up play superbly, Ron looks composed at the back and KEA is very tidy.
I'd like to see us shooting more, especially when outside the box.

Not sure what changes we can make to improve 2nd half. Shame we don't have Herd on the bench to replace Delph as he's on a yellow, I guess Bent could come on, not that we're creating any real chances. Albrighton's delivery isn't great, not that N'Zogbia offers anything on the wing.

Spurs, as I mentioned pre-match, are nothing special and Hilts got it spot on regarding Bale.

A solid enough first half, with neither side really impressing.  Delph is a sending off waiting to happen though, I'd sub him at half time.

Yes, he is much like Paul Scholes......without the being a great player bit.

I'm sure MOTD will just laugh off Bales diving antics. The media love him.

OK 0-0 is just about acceptable at half time but with Chelsea winning again yesterday we need to see off this lot in the second half otherwise we might as well give them the title today.

Oh, close! Benteke should have done better with that, I think!

Great chance. Would Bent have put it away?
