I'm with Jaffers et al on Beckham,

Everyone goes on about what a model professional he is, and he is that. He is a decent bloke who has done a lot for football in different countries. He trains hard, I know this from personal experience. But.....

He has been in the England squad for about 40 games too many. The infamous Greece match where his free kick got us through. How many did he have before he actually scored one? yep, you guessed it, 9. Should have gone ages ago. Move on, football goes on.

England will still be s**t without him, probably marginally less s**tter, but still s**t. Predominantly s**t.
