It is unpleasant to see such cattiness and spite here. David Beckham played some good games for England - some of which were literally to the point of exhaustion, as against Ecaudor in the World Cup. It is one thing to believe that his talent is overrated, it is another to take pot shots at him for any reason at all.
I would not want to be married to Victoria Beckham, but it seems to suit him fine. Good luck to both of them.
He is not likely to become one of the world's greatest academics - something he has in common with several of us Mudcatters. However, he comes over to me as basically kind and gentle. For God's sake, he is famous for chasing and wallopping footballs. If that does not interest you, you do not need to watch it. What harm has he done to anyone here to deserve this spite?
