that must be sposh spice!

What La Beckham? She was always Essex spice to me, - and the blond one paedo spice.

bobd22

Aye she thinks she's royalty let alone upper class, mind I think David is a good role model as far as footballers go apart from his odd flings, good lad pity he played for Man Utd but I can forgive him that.

bil

He always comes across as a nice lad. Not bright, but so much better than many of 'em.

Is it true that they took the hair for Rooney's transplant from his knuckles?

bobd22

More than likely not a nice lad Rooney

Someone I once knew in the second hand goods, oops sorry antiques trade, once told me that most sales are within the trade one trader would buy an item put it in the shop and then another trader would buy it put it in his shop for a higher price so on and so on. I asked how it was sustainable, he did not know but said it had been like that for years and this from a wholesale antique dealer.
Long winded story but somehow I am reminded of this world debt business.

a good comparison with the world debt business, someone on the other side of the worold had a bunch of dodgy loans, sold them on to someone else who sold them on ........etc

and we have to pick up the pieces

He just comes over as an oaf. Beckham appears to be a nice guy.

Dick Dasterdly

I have a feeling that after all his stupidity he may learnt quite a few lessons and show a bit more common sense and respect in the future.
Beckham wasn't always the sharpest pencil in the box at his age.
He seemed to sort himself out after he got that boot in his face from Sir Alex.

Hey what's all this got to do with international debt anyway ?

Domino

obviously not bought a footballer recently

steviedeluxe

Well yes, he moved abroad soon after that - Real Madrid followed by LA Galaxy. He realised he could earn a lot more through image rights than by winning trophies on the football pitch.

Nothing but nice to chat
Probably a fair point about Sir Alex putting him in his place but thats part of growing up and earning some respect, maybe Sir Alex could try it with Rooney mind instead of a boot probably require a sledge hammer
Shows though you don't have to be bright to be nice

Domino

surely some of his tattoos must be a bit restrictive when it comes to image rights ?

bobd22

Oh no not tattoos again I know how the poor sod feels, you have got me paranoid, I will have to live in the sun wearing a long sleeved shirt for my retirement.

IMO you are being unfair to Beckham.
Here is a guy who has been propelled into the position he is by luck, ability, good PR management and likeability.
This does not strike me as someone of limited intelligence, that has been implied by some posters on this thread.
My brain certainly does not have the ability to instantly send a message to my foot to enable a ball to swerve or whatever. That in its own way is intelligence.
He also presents himself extremely well when interviewed, representing himself or the Country. How many of us could cope or do it as well as he does with millions watching his every move? I for one couldn't.
I am not saying the guy is a genius but he no less intelligent than most of us and remember he doesn't the benefit of anonymity of a written forum to hide behind. How many of us would talk gibberish/dry-up if faced with public exposure?
