My God, the bile directed towards Dwight Gayle is vile. He didn't work out , just as many players haven't it doesn't make him a bad, manipulative person. Don't hate a bathroom suite because it can't suddenly be a kitchen. Show some sslf respect say thank you and we'll rethink

League Cup Semi-Finals this week, back in the 1972 League Cup Semi-Final, Stoke City goalkeeper Gordon Banks produced a fantastic save from Geoff Hurst’s ferocious penalty at Upton Park, which Banks later admitted was a better save than his famous save against Pele in 1970.
