Gareth Bale has nailed his South Wales derby colours to the mast by pleading with Cardiff City boss Steve Morison to make sure his side beats Swansea City this weekend.
Cardiff-born Bale has made many references to his hometown team in recent years, indeed last year while at Tottenham he had a back-and-forth with Joe Rodon over the Bluebirds' rivalry with Swansea. And his latest comments about the Bluebirds will only serve to endear Cardiff fans to him further. There have been speculative links with Cardiff over the last few weeks - you can read more about that here - given the player's Real Madrid contract ends this summer, however Morison branded a potential transfer a "pipe dream" until he is told a move for the 32-year-old is even remotely possible.
"Until someone rings me and actually says that is an option - it’s not something I will worry about," Morison said when asked about a potential move for Bale in the summer.
