Match Day 6: Wigan 1 Tottenham 2 - Gareth Bale is a red card minting machine

Harry Redknapp has found a new weapon to win games for Tottenham hotspurs.


Very simple - get the ball to Gareth Bale on the wings and watch your opponents pick up careless yellow cards in the first half as they deal with the Welshman's pace. Keep feeding him down the flanks and you are bound to have one or two opponents sent off in the second half. Once gone, Adebayor can go to work on a depleted defense. Easy as 1-2-3 points.


Wigan's Gohouri should have watched the tapes from last week's encounter where Liverpool players were being sent off before trying to stop Bale. Not that it would have helped avoid the inevitable, but he would have felt it was normal to be sent off while marking Bale.


Look at the positive side. He gets an early shower and a vacation day next weekend while serving his suspension. His Manager won't quite see it that way, considering they lost 1-2 at home.
