Guest alex Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 beckham can't have too many complaints. if we diddn't play in a micky mouse league, he'd be in the squad. he chose the money ahead of prolonging his international career. Hardly, he'd been told it was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Don't think Owen is, as an aside. Â He's already on 88 you know. Â Or was that a dig at his fitness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Â I like Posh and Becks. Can't understand the hate when they're two fantastic role models if you ask me. Â Shame. Â Hope he gets his 100th at some point. Â Â he should only get a cap if he merits it though, otherwise whats the point really? Â Â Exactly.

Â Or they could just say "Fuck him! He's on the scrap heap" and show the current crop what we do to even the very best players that we have in this country.

luckyluke 2 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Mike Atherton-tastic if never gets it like. Wonder who he'll hate the most - McLaren or Capello. Â Don't quite get the Atherton reference - he retired of his own accord, a year after playing in his 100th test. Â Unless you're referring to never making a ton at Lord's, but being ran out for 99...

Â Hope he gets his 100th at some point. How is she a good role model? Â She's a multi-millionairess in her own right. She's never been in the papers for ANYTHING negative I know of. She kept a dignified silence through her husband's little affair and stuck by him/her family. Â Â He porked some dirty bint while he had 2 kids at home.

I know where you're coming from (I can definitely see both sides to this one), I just think it would be both a nice gesture and get the story out of the way in what is the archetypal nothing game.

Â So SKY News/Sport can bang on and on and on and on and on about the fuckin' squad in their programmes. SKY have revolutionised the boring over and over inspection of trivial international football news over the last ten years. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
