Ahh I just did a quick google and apparently she's getting support for the comments Beckham made in his documentary. I mean you're pretty much an almost honewrecker if the stories are true. Personal assistant hmmm
Television Beckham's Netflix documentary
- Thread starter Jev
- Start date
He didn't say anything bad about her?Ahh I just did a quick google and apparently she's getting support for the comments Beckham made in his documentary. I mean you're pretty much an almost honewrecker if the stories are true. Personal assistant hmmm
In a way this documentary makes it seem odd almost that SAF didnt count him as one of the players he personally labeled as world class that had played for him. But Im guessing he was no fan of Beckham's off the pitch antics at all - as he more or less directly says in the documentary, so that probably weighed into it.
I'm now watching that episode not sure what was said yet. I'm cracking up at Posh being upset that Becks had a photo shoot with JLo and Beyonce while she was having a baby.
Watching this now. The bit about Neville 
Made me remember how much I loved him as a player. Doesn’t seem to have any internal life at all. His OCD must’ve been incredibly difficult to deal with but they play it for laughs. It was like candy: tasty but zero nutritional value.
Fergie should not have sold him. Still annoyed !

I was convinced at the time Fergie made absolutely the correct the decision to sell and watching this documentary has only enhanced that
Seemed to make out as if Beckham once he started performing properly personally won his clubs their titles.
I agree
Watching David keep fit by jogging with the fitness coach was illustrative. Football was a nice light activity in the early 2000s it seems.
Beckham had another 6 years in him at the peak of his game. It was foolish to sell him over spite.
Nope he was becoming a distraction. The boot incident and how he reacted. No coming back from that
It was 100% the right call
Well, I think you're 100% wrong, because opinions.
Today is seems ludicrous but in the era of the Galácticos he was probably right
Would United have won more than they did without him, possibly, but they still won a fair bit of stuff, would Beckham be what he is today if he'd stayed at United, almost certainly not, on balance I think he was better off going when he did
He is lying that he never wanted to go to Madrid. You can see that he does have that little kid attitude when he didn’t like Real’s situation he found another option. Bit egoistical. Same witb United. He felt he was bigger than the club and wanted to show Fergie that. He is lying as you see the whole discussion when Real came to OT.
And Fergie knew he wanted to go to Real so he sold him firts to Barca. Those two had big egos but SAF is out of this world big.
Remember the lipreading situation when he was cought “I ve had talks”? Re Real.
Great documentary. It was beat for both parties that he left.

His week "prep" and cleaning mania Made me laugh. Didn't know that about him.

One of my favorite players, so I thought I’d have liked this a little more then I have been.
Massive puff piece, which I have zero issue with but I’m not sure I believe him when he tries to convince the world the money and fame never changed him. Not necessarily a negative, but yeah.

That first year at RM; Jesus christ at the calamity of the ending for Real Madrid.... last 11 league games 2 win, 2 draws, 7 losses on top of crushing losses in the Final of the Copa and losing to Monaco
His biggest achievement is hiding how painfully dull he is, for as long as he has.
Hell of a player, and I liked the early parts of the doco with the football parts, But I’ve given up early. It’s dreadful propaganda nonsense.

If you think Beckham is dull I wonder what you make of the Neville's!
Yeah, they really did a number on that Inter match.
We were 2-0 ahead at half time, with Beckham setting up both of Yorke's goals. The first goal was something like six minutes into the game. Yet they are making it look like he had a terrible match - and then everything changed following those chants. Awfully creative, and a blatant lie.
Beckham is still probably my favourite player of all time, but, from what I'm reading, this doesn't seem like a must see as it comes across as artificial with lots of rewriting of history. Would you guys recommend it?
Gary Neville is far more interesting and intelligent than Beckham.
We’ll leave Phil alone. Feels like a free hit.
i liked it for the United part, then i got bored with the Madrid onwards stuff
Definitely agree about that.
Just finished the documentary. Really felt like they' were trying to paint Beckham in best light possible... And that's fine, it's a series to celebrate him and his career. But it didn't feel authentic to me.
I got the vibes he was cheating on Posh though. His tone and attitude just subtly changed when speaking about it.

He basically admitted it without saying as much.
Despite my snarky comment on page 1 I quite liked it and I'm glad it stuck to the football. So obviously a PR piece off the back of the Qatar thing but it was a nice trip down memory lane, and a reminder both how good he was and what a waste his LA stint was.
What I mostly got from this was how much this club and fans have changed. It used to be us against them. Now the fans can't agree on anything and most our players have none of the old United DNA.
Did Madrid really want to keep him? Was he making that much money for the brand that nothing else mattered?
The idea of a 34/35 year old Beck's, who at the time probably would have been the highest paid footballer in the world, hanging around still thinking he is a superstar would have been a nightmare for any manager

he was only 32/33 when he left Madrid and was did well at the end of his last season there, so I wouldn't be that surprised
Love Beckham the player. My favourite United player ever after Keane.
But not watching this. Beckham (and Victoria), but especially him have always been very attention seeking. Don’t like what I am reading (the edits, etc.), not needed, his true story is interesting enough, why the edits?
Twisting stories or telling them differently or dramatically is also nothing new for Beckham. For example while as a childhood United fan, United academy player, etc. it was definitely difficult for him to leave United, part of him also wanted to leave (as Fergie wasn’t allowing him to be bigger than the club). But he acted / wrote / told as if he was forced to join awful and disgusting Real Madrid while he himself desperately wanted to stay at United forever.
Plus while it was out of order from Fergie to (even if accidentally) kick the ball at him/his eye, a lot of United fans didn’t like it when next day he was more than happy to highlight that cut for media/public/everyone to see.
He is also a very dull personality but more than makes up for it by his talent/football ability, inspirational play style (strong mentality, passionate, hard working, big moments and big game player) and extraordinary good looks.
Last but not least both him and Fergie were right in 2003. Fergie would have only kept him if Beckham could only focus on football at the highest level for another decade like Giggs and Scholes did. But Fergie knew that was not going to happen.
From Beckham‘s perspective he had already achieved everything with United and had a lot of crucial contributions to some of our biggest and most memorable games and achievements. Now it was time for him to move on and focus on brand Beckham.

What's been implied in some of the posts here as to some of the content makes me glad i didn't watch it. Becks was pretty much in great form the whole season in '99, was voted 2nd in the world player of the year and got something like 20+ assists that season, along with 9 goals. Also think he and Keane were nominated for the PFA player of the year award and becks was in the team of the season.
I recently watched the 3-0 drubbing by Arsenal in the early part of that season and he and Keane were the only two players of ours that came out of that game with any cred as we were shite.

I've watched two episodes tonight.
It's as I thought. Attention seekers him and his Mrs. He's turning into Simon Cowell too. They must use same plastic surgeon.
Hoddle was a prick though.

Yeah, I'm not that interested in his post United career. How much of the show was about his time here at United? About 50% would you say?
I remember seeing the way he clearly deliberately paraded his face with tiny plasters over his eyebrow and wanting him gone.
Loved revisiting the good days, but nothing in that documentary has changed my mind. In fact, I had completely forgotten he had a strop about staying in Milan and not wanting to go back to LA.
