    - Well, it's sort of his fault that we're bored of him, isn't it? (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:24:32
      - If you keep buying the bloody newspapers .. (Other Football) - yellowman, Feb 1, 14:32:49
      - No, it's not him that creates the demand. (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Feb 1, 14:27:44
        
        It's a bit of a vicious circle (Other Football) - mr carra, Feb 1, 14:35:44
        
        Perhaps, but he certainly courts it (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:31:48

    - Ok then... (Other Football) - yellowman, Feb 1, 14:19:55
      - He probably spends more on a watch than he is donating here (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:22:17
        
        As I said... (Other Football) - yellowman, Feb 1, 14:24:33
        
        So Beckham shouldn't own expensive watches which he's worked to afford. (Other Football) - Only1Doherty, Feb 1, 14:24:19
        
        What would you do ? (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Feb 1, 14:24:11
  - Arrers. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Feb 1, 14:09:24

  - It's a PR stunt because David Beckham didn't sign for Leyton Orient? (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 1, 14:12:05

- He's giving hundreds of thousands of pounds to charity. Stop moaning. (Other Football) - Only1Doherty, Feb 1, 13:55:15
  - So why not just do it anonymously? (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 13:56:46
    - Because the Qatari owner wants the publicity. (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Feb 1, 14:02:21
    - So that it might occur to other footballers on similar wages to do the same? (n/m) (Other Football) - tim berry, Feb 1, 14:00:04
    - This.... (Other Football) - Waddockhunt, Feb 1, 13:58:57
    - "gone there for the money" "one last payday for him" (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 1, 13:58:14
      - Because it's a naked publicity stunt designed to profit Brand Beckham (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:00:05

        How many could he help if he paid all his tax? (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:04:13
        
        What? are you claiming he's a tax dodger? (n/m) (Other Football) - BINMEN8R, Feb 1, 14:07:04
        
        What tax is he due to pay which he doesn't? (n/m) (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Feb 1, 14:06:35

        Hasn't he been living abroad though? (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Feb 1, 14:19:13
        
        None, because the shower of shit we have in government at present wouldn't use any of it (Other Football) - CB41, Feb 1, 14:05:52
        
        you live in France? (n/m) (Other Football) - Brandonio, Feb 1, 14:10:21

        I'm fit as fuck (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 14:12:06

        bombs...ffs (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Feb 1, 14:08:07
        
        Ah the "Beckham Law" which is something most EU countries have. I paid only 30% the first (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Feb 1, 14:06:40
    - So what if he gets press from it? He's donating vast sums of cash to save kids' lives. (Other Football) - Only1Doherty, Feb 1, 13:57:39
      - agreed, but that doesn't make him a saint (Other Football) - mr carra, Feb 1, 14:09:49
      - Put like that, yep decent bloke but then he's always come across as a good chap. (n/m) (Other Football) - DrDublin, Feb 1, 14:00:11
  - Children will probably stay alive because of him yet he gets slated. (n/m) (Other Football) - Only1Doherty, Feb 1, 13:56:27

- Agreed, selfish cunt should have just pocketed the wages (n/m) (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 1, 13:46:38

    - Out of interest... (Other Football) - tim berry, Feb 1, 14:06:15
    - Yeah, i'm sure for someone like David Beckham, publicity is a huge thing he needs (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 1, 13:55:51
      - He clearly craves it (n/m) (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 13:57:39
    - and? (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Feb 1, 13:51:46
      - and what? That's the end of the point. It's a cynical PR job. (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Feb 1, 13:55:42
        
        Underrated now as a player, several coaches rate him and Milan didnt get masses of revenue (Other Football) - BINMEN8R, Feb 1, 14:02:46
- and of course its a plum location for Victoria Beckhams (Other Football) - Norfolk un Way, Feb 1, 13:46:02
