The "Fair fucks to David Beckham on reaching his 100th Cap" Thread

bazalini · 26th March 2008, 13:29

A great servant to his club and Country throughout his career. Take away the fact he was an above average player (but no where near brillant) and his showbiz lifestyle he has produced some fantastic moments which will always be remembered

I hope he goes on to make more then 100 as I think he can offer more to England and was excellent for Capello in his last 10 games at madrid.

Agreed...

CnutOfAllCnuts · 26th March 2008, 13:40

Fair fecks

Partizan · 26th March 2008, 13:41

Decent player, always gave us 100%.

FreakyJim · 26th March 2008, 13:41

He was excellent for United. Gave everything he could, every time.

Legend.

DoctorEvil · 26th March 2008, 13:43

Was a great servant to the club. Hope he will have a good game today.

Sam#1 · 26th March 2008, 13:43

Fair fucks indeed.

Wes · 26th March 2008, 13:44

fair play to the khid.

Van Piorsing · 26th March 2008, 13:44

Fair fucks... thanks for everything David.

rednev · 26th March 2008, 13:47

If this was Scholes or Neville we wouldn't be hearing half as much about it.

kf · 26th March 2008, 13:49

Yeah fair play to the lad - thanks for the memories. Although I'll be amazed if he gets to 101 whilst playing in that pub league.

Eurotrash · 26th March 2008, 13:49

One of my fav players. I maintain that he is still a very important player for England. If you´re looking to beat a decent team in modern football, you need that bit of technical excellence that Becks posesses in his pin-point passes.

giggs-beckham · 26th March 2008, 13:53

Just above average? world player of the year runner up twice. the single best passer of the ball ive ever seen and one of the most world class players in world football over the last 12 years, fact.

Sam#1 · 26th March 2008, 13:53

Cheers David...

bazalini · 26th March 2008, 13:55

He needs to get himself a Good English Club - I am sure if SGE went to anywhere other then City he would have landed there - A London club would be his choice I am sure.

However apart from West Ham or Spurs (commercial sense) I cann't see him go to the likes of Arsenal or Chelsea

Arsenal is propably the answer.

He was already training with them.

rednev · 26th March 2008, 13:57

For fuck's sake. Let's all have a wank over David Beckham. He's more famous for his looks than his abilities. He's a good player, but that's all.

Great player, just an annoying cunt as well.

You're right. He was also male model, a walking advertising board and a media wank-icon. A nice bloke, mind.

Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Schmeichel and Keane were all better players, yet Beckham is the one with all the fame. He's Idolised in the media, and we all know that it has nothing to do with his football.

a_devil_inside · 26th March 2008, 14:27

he deserves it. Hope he gets a standing applause when he comes on/gets substituted.
Hopefully he'll get more than 100 but I doubt he'll get too many, can't see him going to the World Cup in 2010

AllhailManUtd · 26th March 2008, 14:28

I agree with the first post. Except I wouldn't use the word average in any sense to describe him. He was a very very good player for us during the 90's and even in 00's. If only he would have ignored the model lifestyle he could have gone on to become world class because either way you look at it, he was the best passer long ball passer in the world and God knows he bailed us out enough times. He was my idol when growing up and not because of the lifestyle, I modelled my playing style similar to his while growing up, though nowadays I try emulate scholesys style of play more.

So what I dont give a shit about his media profile or how famous he is.. He was a key member of that team and deserves as much respect as the ones you mention based solely on what he did on the pitch..

No - I think he was an above average player who did very well.

A legend is a Best or a Charlton or a Keane or a Robson.

I could name you 20 premiership players who were better then him during his time in the Premiership.

Always apreciated Becks.
