I like stats every night. By the way, the burden of proof is on the person who thinks comparing Bale with Arter makes any sense at all. You can find the newspaper reports, if you wish, but I would question their validity - being as it's just one person's opinion of a player performance in one game.

I tell you what, when Arter is snapped up by Real for £100m and he single-handedly gets Ireland to the European Championship semis in 2020 - then you can bounce this thread and tell me that comparing Arter with Bale was absolutely valid and in no way sensationalist.
