Support this.
I've got total admiration for him. Hearing how he played with a hamstring tear and a cold epitomises the man. He's been trained to be a winner no matter what the odds are and his career proves it.
He came, he saw, he conquered.
He came, he saw, he conquered.
ive got a cold and went to work today.
But no hamstring tear?
Try tearing your rotator cuff muscle and going to work as machine line operator.
glad for him..would not blame him if he joins PSG now..another league tittle beckon for him..nice place to stay as well..
Dont know whether this has been posted. Got this from the official Man United site:
" David Beckham is set to turn down a return to English football – because he cannot bear the prospect of lining up against United. Following the end of his spell with LA Galaxy, the 36-year-old midfielder said: "When I was at AC Milan I played against Man United. I'd not played there for seven years and it was special going back. But it would be totally different going back there in a Premier League shirt. It is a club I love and adore. I could never see myself playing against United for another Premier League team."

Half because of talent half because of image
He's a football legend because of talent.
He's a celeb because of image.
Don't forget what that guy did for your club, especially in 99.
Maybe it's nostalgia, but I'd love SAF to sign Becks on a Larsson style deal.
I think he deserves to have one more shot with us. He may be on in years, but he'd probably still be the best crosser of a ball in our team. Can you imagine the chances he'd put on a plate for Chicharito? Also with his delivery from corners and freekicks, something which we aren't great with these days.
Plus it'll give the lads a boost going into the second half of the season. Also, Becks knows he wouldn't be first choice, he'd be happy being there and playing his part to help when he can.

I'm with you gal, but it'll never happen.
Just had to post this in here too, best Beckham vid I've seen, showing goals from during his United time only:
Best Becks videos all should involve more glitz and fashion IMO
You just can't help but be a tit eh?
It's a video of a player playing for your club and scoring some of the best goals you're likely to see. You are bizarre and you've become a complete parody of yourself.
Sorry Sharky, cant help myself sometimes. I did think Becks was a great player for us
Class video but some of the angles the goals are shown from don't do them justice.
You can see all his early goals from their normal angles here....
But unfortunately part 2 doesn't work.

Anyone else thinking he could provide an option in CM for us? We're not excactly stacked in the creative CM department, and he'd still put in the yards. Complete professional as well. Of course it won't happen, but I'd think he might still offer us something in CM.
Don't like these kind of quotes. Roy Keane made similar quotes at the start of the competition and it just sounds stupid and arrogant. Ditto Becks.
errr, no.
Do you think he's a worse option than an off-form Anderson, or wouldn't provide anything to a partnership with Fletcher or Carrick?
I love D Beck but it's so apparent that his legs have more or less entirely gone.
couldn't stand the circus
i still wish he hadn't married that awful woman
Harsh, seems to me that she's a lovely mother.
She may well be. Still can't stand the sight of that hairy twiglet and her stupid mouth
ha ha, but now that's different to calling her an awful person.
She is an awful person. Had our boy David never met her, he would still be where he belonged - at Old Trafford as our captain. Playing as a footballer instead of becoming this global circus (albeit he does his share of wonderful charitable work).
Anyway, he simply does not have the legs and plays his regular football at way too substandard a level to be even considered for a role at a top premiership club.
And even then, he would be a 'utilized' resource as opposed to a key part of any squad. Would have been interesting if Redknapp could have pulled off a deal for him, but I really doubt he'd have forced his way into the current Spurs midfield. He would be used like we use Michael Owen.
His time has passed.
Agree with the above. Posh is an awful gobshite
As someone said in another thread (or even earlier in this one)
Madrid - Los Angeles - Milan - Paris (??)
It's almost like his wife is picking the cities

Excellent.
Very non-judgemental religious attitude there sam. You have absolutely no idea what she's like, and neither does Erica or any other curtain twitcher.
And regardless of what she may actually be like, I'd support my wife over my boss and value my family life over my profession any day of the week, and anyone who wouldn't is a pretty terrible husband. Football fans in being myopic shocker.
Sorry, but I can't believe people are still whining about his wife 10 years later.
In my head this was said in your Beckham voice. I though you'd appreciate that.
I am confused. Doesnt this:
Either way I wish him well.
Contradict this:
If he isnt good enough any more , how would he be still be our captain?
I have viewed him that way in the past but less so now. I think the whole circus thing has been reigned in somewhat. Maybe LA is just so far away I dont really notice it any more. But he won the league in the US which is what he wanted to do, he has proved a valuable member of the squad at Madrid in recent years... I think he has done OK from a football perspective to be honest.
This is the bit of your post I agree with. He would make a good Michael Owen type player at a Premiership club, or could play a bigger role at PSG.
Either way I wish him well.
t'riffic
A voice of reason.
As if any of us have any clue as to what she is really like, she could be an absolute sweetheart for all we know.
