Seems everyone in the press and on the phone-ins has had their chance so sod it. As I’m always right, I’ll put forward my 2p’s worth and end it once and for all.
The guy’s a ****. A moron. An idiotic, spoilt brat in a man’s body. With a stick-thin, untalented, chav wife.
Frankly, I don’t care that he’s a (sporadically) talented midfielder. The fact he’s the England football team captain holds no water. At the end of the day, he’s in a position of responsibility that his tiny little kiddy brain can’t cope with.
1998 – takes a rough challenge from an Argentinian. While on the ground, he kicks out like a child in a playground then gets upset about being caught and sent off.
2004 – takes a rough challenge from a Welshman. At the first change he gets, knowing the worst punishment he’ll get is to miss a game he’d already miss through injury, he deliberately puts in a dangerous, late tackle.
You’d think after 6 years and a promotion to captain, he’d realise what a position he’s in. He’s there to set an example. Of course, he’s now grown-up enough to apologise. And explain himself.
Only all he’s done by explaining his actions is tell kids that it’s OK to **** someone if you won’t be worse off than you were before, and if you say “sorry” afterwards. It’s all OK now, isn’t it David? You pathetic excuse for a man.
Grow up, you prick.
I checked the poll on the Sky News web site (which incidentally, reads more like a copy of the Sun with fewer boobs) and the ratio was nearer 55/45 in favour of him being booted out.
Watching Sky news last night there was a poll asking if he should be sacked as Englans captain.
75% of people said yes.
I felt so inspired I logged on and voted with the majority.
A winner wins. When did Beckham ever win anything for England. Sent off in World Cups, unfit for a Euro campaign, missed a penalty against Portugal when their keeper scored to put them through, jumped a tackle that led to the goal that put us out of the world cup against Brazil, can’t kick with both feet, scared of tackling. If one person crosses all the time, eventually someone will get on the end of it, same when you take enough dead balls one will hit the goal. He has captained England, and won nothing. Vain, stupid and self consumed, how on earth you can praise him I will never understand. J. Wilkinson, now there is an England winner, courageous, kicks with both feet, tackles anybody and he’s modest. I’m not jealous of Beckham, I just see him for what he is.
Richard – nice to go back through the time machine and look at some of my old posts. I can’t believe I was blogging as far back as 2004!
Beckham as a person has matured with age. I’ll credit him with that. However, I still don’t think he should be in the England line-up as he’s just not the player he was with Man Utd. He passed his peak when they sold him.
I’d not, however, blame him or point a finger as regards the England setup as a whole. A player will try to play for their country. If they’re the little sparkle in the coach’s eye then they’re in and they will (usually) try their best. Team selection is the manager’s job and if Beckham was the best in his position at the time – as he probably was – then that’s an issue of player selection.
As with the other 10 players on the pitch, he’s there to try and win something – which he didn’t do. But to a large extent I think the issue is a lack of good squad players and too many individual talents who don’t gel.
I totally agree with your comments about continually crossing from set pieces to end up with a headed goal. It’s tedious and encourages players to go down in a crumpled heap near the box in the hope of setting Beckham up for another one of the goals he so rarely gets any more.
