Beckham

[New York Red]

Christ, he's been doing well for Milan. You got to give him credit.

[Sion]

I've always not minded Beckham, which is amazing considering his origins.

Under-rated player because of his media circus and a very good england captain

beats terry any day of the week

[stressederic]

David Beckham is under-rated?

[Sion]

David Beckham is under-rated?

 

think so yes, evident by the amount of people who think he's over-rated

paradoxical

[mick]

he is overrated.

 

He should be remebered as a very good right midfielder for his time.

 

Due to the hype and media bullsh!t he will be remembered as a great player across many generations.

 

Its just wrong.

[Jim D]

I thought once he had moved to the States we'd had seen the last of him, looks like I was wrong. Still like one big circus where the media are concerned.

[Nebraska Red]

over rated, under rated, hype, media circus etc.

 

right now he is playing really well in the Milan team and contributing a darn sight more with his overall game than I ever saw him do for the Mancs.

 

he is defending well now, which stunned me.

 

however, I expect him to struggle with the England squad when he is asked to play with a team of donkeys rather than some of the thoroughbreds at Milan.

[Cam]

Amazing ambassador for his country.

 

And a perfect example of everything a multi-millionaire footballer should be; imagine if Pennant or Bellamy or Barton had his life.

David Beckham is under-rated?

 

I think he is underrated by alot of people. He is clearly a very good footballer

[New York Red]

He works his b*llocks off in training. He always has.

 

Here in the states he was plying his trade in all sorts of sh*tholes like Houston, Salt Lake City etc. Never copped an attitude.

 

He's defending well and just seems to make things happen with Milan.

 

He's also never been an irresponsible d*ckhead like so many others could have been.

 

I've never seen the problem with him TBH.

[Guy_Incognito]

He's clearly an above average footballer, but it smarts with me when I see him selling allsorts like felt tip pens, and when I hear about him - a footballer - talking about "breaking America". Maybe it's me.

[Hassony]

I think it shows more how bad italian football is at the moment, Beckham can probably play for another 4-5 seasons there!

his many years as a Manc were a major problem, mainly by association.

 

if he could string more than 3 words together in a sentence, he could probably author a decent tell all book about old Ginsoak, sorry Mister Ginsoak.

totally. he stopped being a footballer years ago when he and his publicity whore of a wife became a brand. i hate the sell-out c*nt.

[The Hitman]

If you never saw Beckham defend whilst playing for England and the Mancs,then you never watched him play.

His work rate and tracking back was one of his greatest assets.

He is, but nowhere near as good as the hype would lead you to believe

[Flight]

I remember being sat near the corner flag at that game Jamie banged in two OG's; I think Beckham might have put the cross in for one of them.

 

Anyway, it was just awesome to be near him watching him run down the line and put superb crosses in. Busy singing about Posh's various orifices, like. It was like watching a thoroughbred racehorse, though.

 

Just a pity he could never have been shot like one.

[psl]

I like Beckham. There, I've said it.

I have some standards, I never watch the Mancs, unless they are playing Liverpool.

 

I never watch England unless they have a large number of Liverpool players in the side or the opposition has a large number of Liverpool players.

 

[Crazy Horse]

Just shows that the standard of Serie A is even worse than MLS these days.

[Jimi Rojo]

Beckham is the one of the only players in the modern game who can regularly put in a reliable cross from the wing. (or free kick)

 

How can it be possible that crossing the ball is so difficult for players these days? What do they do in training? Why are our corners shocking and why do most crosses go straight into the crowd. It's a joke

 

He has other qualities of course, scored some absolute beauties for Madrid. But he can control and kick a ball, a very valuable skill in the game of football. For that reason alone he would still make just about any team in Europe.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

Not sure where this love is coming from, he's a t***.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

thankfully, some perspective

[New York Red]

Hey, you have to give credit where credit is due.

[MFletcher]

I like Beckham. He seems a decent family man, he never lets his head drop, he works his socks off for the side and never shirks his responsibilities.

 

He also handled himself with far more class as England captain than Terry ever will. The way he conducted himself after they lost to Northern Ireland in Belfast was excellent. He applauded the crowd on the way to the dressing room and then spent two hours afterwards, in the pissing rain, signing autographs for the kids and having his picture taken. Every other player f***ed straight off.
