Without doubt Beckham has been the best England player over the last 10 years by some considering margin, it is an utter disgrace he has been dumped by that useless pillock McLaren :angry:

Thing I will remember about Becks was at Old Trafford when we drew with Greece - he was the only one who played that day, awesome display

No coincidence that United have not won a Premiership title since his departure. Not as good as he was but still could do a job for most Premiership teams, and especially for England.

McClaren had to dump him to prove he was 'in charge'. Huge mistake. Beck's didn't have a great World Cup but he had a better one than Lamps or Gerrard and scored or assisted in most of our goals. The three of them in midfield didn't work (not the fault of any of them - that's just the way it was) and Lamps should have been dropped, not Becks. Now he plays Gerrard on the right and he's wasted there!

Forget the lifestyle and the mega-earnings - that's nothing to do with what goes on on the field. He has always given 100% effort and passion for club and country. A tragedy that he is not back in the Premiership.

is the correct answer.

Although I am pleased for him that he isn't involved in the england set up at the moment. I would have hated him to have been a fading light amongst the Mclaren journeymen that now masquerade as england players.

Is it also no coincidence that Real Madrid have won NOTHING since he went there, then? :shrug:

Football changes at times and, mostly, it 'progresses' or 'forwards' in it's physicality, speed and fitness. Beckham can not currently succeed or be appreciated with his lack of pace, immobility, visionary restrictions and merely sporadic involvement. He's a dunce too. Difficult to love a dunce, i think.



Ridiculous with your duncing bit.
Nobody sits behind Stephen Hawkins and says,

''You`re shit at football mate.''

and besides we all loved Benny from Crossraods.

But Stephen Jack Hawkins has had a thought or two, i believe, even with the difficulty of his body dictating them to others.

The duncery section was my personal feelings of disinterest to his gleaming skeleton and scentless gassy innards.
Some people are best never listened to. One is Beckham. Another is Pele, for his World Cup guessing.
Leonardo, however, i could sleep comfortably in the company of his international dribble and swooners' chops.

You may very well be right - I haven't seen enough of Real to make a considered judgement - but that doesn't make me wrong about United.

That's the most lucid thing you have said for months!! Are the synapses reconnecting and the drugs wearing off ?

14 months and 7 days of being someone else now. I must admit to feeling less drowsy, and having a modicum of sense in my sentence, so that feels enthusing in moments. I am now mostly hopeful of the comfortable return of idioms, maxims, historical figures, judgements, Mork and Mindy storylines and hope.

The doctor i saw this week said i should remain on the drug prescribed for the next 4-5 years. Oh good, i f***ing thought. And wished i could travel back and just get told to do coke and MDMA as a helper and crowd-pleaser. Still, will be nice to write of thought and misery combined in the coming months, and the restructuring of imagery in the brain's repair is quite aggressive and terrifying at times. I find it interesting anyway. :)

Thank you for noticing though. Appreciated.

An astute move.

No heckling from fans, just endless adulation. Loads of money, shopping on tap for the wife. And a Hollywood career in the offing.

Bolton or Beverly Hills? It was a no-brainer.

Top player, top bloke - shame we'll never see him play over here again.

What a career he's had though. The Half-way line goal, the sending off, the Greece game...countless winners medals. I've been bought up watching him, and did and still do think he's a class act.

Legend? In my eyes, yes:bowdown:

if he helps to break football in the states he will be huge for years after he retired, will be his biggest success. Shame he isn't coming back to the premiership still think he has a few good years left in him but good luck to him.

Agreed. I'd say he is an absolute legend and arguably the finest ambassador for English football since Bobby Moore. :clap:

But Hawkins is not slated because he is not a looker or athletic.

So leave Beckham - oiled man with flicky out limb of suffering - alone. He is not blessed with - thoughts of high and mattering of grey - but he is f***ing good at Football.

the sad thing is he gets ripped on the TheFA EnglandFans supporters club forum, for not doing anything etc etc, yet McSven gets rid of him and we look to have one of the worst performing england teams of a good few years!

Very sad

A quarter of a BILLION dollars over 5 years! f*** me.

One million dollars every week. Good luck to him I say.

Money aside, he has definitely made the right choice. Why on earth would you want to come back to England to play out the latter years of your career for Newcastle, Villa or even Liverpool where you know that as soon as things aren't going too well you are going to get slated by all sections of the media. Instead he will bow out in a country where the sport is on the up, he will shine like a genius and he will be loved by the fans & media no matter how he plays. The Mrs will probably even get a Hollywood contract or two to bolster the bank balance. Everyone's a winner - except the England team thanks to that tit McClaren.
