David Beckham

[manclad]

We watched the first two episodes last night.
I'd forgotten how thick he is, to be honest. Not an unlikeable person (plenty in that team who were much worse) but strangely thick. Not a great player either, but a great crosser of the ball.

His wife has never bothered me either, and I do think her fashion designing stuff was really good.

Both have had subtle cosmetic surgery, but I guess that's the world they now live in.

Anyway, after 2 hours of The Beckhams we were both bored and went to bed.

"Time for bed" said Zebedee !!

He must be paying some hefty cash to these tv directors to keep getting picked-out at these events like the cricket.

Almost like he has something to promote at the moment

Never had a problem with him, other than when he played for the Rags. Obviously never a favorite, but far, far from the worst player-person-personality. Tbh, find his oldest son to be the biggest twat in the family, but cashing in on a family name is de rigeur, isn’t it?

I actually enjoyed the Netflix series and the abuse he got for the Argie red card went waaaay overboard, as always with anything to do with the English media grabbing a narrative.

OK, back to the blue-tinted specs…he’s a twat and his wife is a duckface! Satisfied?

Is that the very same world cup England qualified for and got ko'd by Brazil. In that game against Brazil, did a a certain player "nonce" out of a tackle/challenge that Brazil went on to score from

He should never have gone to that World Cup. His foot was knackered.

Didn't we have that all over again a few years later with Rooney?

Very similar, yeah.

I think everyone became an expert on metatarsal issues ;-)

They were all the rage back then. They seem to have disappeared largely these days, despite boots being so thin.

You're right. Couldn't read anything without the bloody things being mentioned.
Maybe it was a "brand" thing ;-)
