    Looks like he’s really getting his scoring form going. Hopefully he manages to stay healthy

    Maybe that red card he got is a little blessing to rest him for a week

    In all seriousness

    He has a massive opportunity. Even with Eden now on the team, he can become the team superstar he always wanted to be. He has to stay focused and stop pointing fingers.

    He can have his best season as a Madrid player this year and i have a feeling that he will

    Also to be honest, Courtois has shown that being fluent in spanish and all in with the culture doesn't make you popular with the fans, the media or the team. :D

    Learning the language isn't about brownie points. That the importance of communication needs to be explained on an internet messaging forum is ... I dont know anymore.

    When he says something as stupid as this it is clear why he has not gained any fans.

    "I think it's clear now who is No. 1 [at Real Madrid], and I feel stronger than ever. I have had a very good pre-season, I have trained well and I feel fine.

    Bale is not even one of the four captains. Weird Varane gives it to him when he's senior at RM and one of the captains. Pennant should be with Benz when Ramos is not available. Shows lack of leadership overall without Ramos.

    Ramos, Marcelo, Benz and Varane. Criteria is seniority at the club. Both captain and vice captain (Marcelo) were unavailable so that probably caused the whole confusion. Varane should have handed to Benz as he's the captain who has to exchange pennant with opposition captain.

    The captains were behind on the pic so they could not hold it and the pennant be seen.
    Holding a pennant for a team photo should not be a big deal..see how Carvajal handled the situation.

    Bale didn’t want it.. otherwise he does not pass it to Carvajal.

    This is dumb... because it's not hard to figure out and probably half of us on this board would have known what to do automatically.

    But that the players were this confused is... total dysfunction.

    This is nothing. Typical media hysteria over the stupidest shit. But we're giving the media the opportunity to write these narratives with our play.

    Because he was simply passing it to one of the guys who was in front and Bale happened to be in the middle . Varane was already positioned at the back. There is nothing else to this or Varane not knowing what to do.. he just said here i am back here and the pennant is not visible you hold it..

    There was plenty to be angry about when it came to Bale last year even though I think the situation was more complicated than people thought. I think it was way more complex than the current Courtouis conundrum we currently have.

    I have to agree this pennant thing is nothing but bologna news that wouldn't see the light of day if we were winning. I always wondered what the players did with those pennants anyway. They looks so cheesy.

    One of the organized fans said on twitter that "slowing the video down tenfold when Bale receives it, then speeding it up when he gives it away is manipulation, Mr 'Journalist from Barcelona'" (which is what Bechler identifies as).

    The real thing happened so quick, it's difficult to interpret anything at all into it.
