Bend it like Beckham, my arse.

He was good enough to play for Man U so he had talent, being good looking, marrying a spice and having good management did the rest. never one of the wolrds best, definitely one of the legends.

^^^ The bloke can talk about football, fluently and intelligently until the cows come home. Not quite sure what more he would need to do, to be considered articulate myself.

Chris Waddle has come out and said Beckham is not even near the top 1000 greats.

beckham being offered 3 million by the FA is a fekking joke.

Sure they have done it just to piss off Plattini and Blatter

Being in the England team that got to the 1990 World cup semi final. Beckham never got to a World Cup semi final ever.

Wow. I bet he has that on his CV.



Beckham will be looking at his own collection and will be green with envy.

Manchester United
Premier League (6): 1995–96, 1996–97, 1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01, 2002–03
FA Cup (2): 1995–96, 1998–99
FA Community Shield (4): 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997
FA Youth Cup (1): 1991–92
UEFA Champions League (1): 1998–99
Intercontinental Cup (1): 1999
Real Madrid
La Liga (1): 2006–07
Supercopa de España (1): 2003
Los Angeles Galaxy
MLS Cup (2): 2011, 2012
MLS Supporters' Shield (2): 2010, 2011
MLS Western Conference
Winners (Regular Season) (3): 2009, 2010, 2011
Winners (Playoffs) (3): 2009, 2011, 2012
Paris Saint-Germain

Three French titles Chris Waddle won:

Olympique Marseille
Division 1 (3): 1989–90, 1990–91, 1991–92

Oh yes, that's in the era of Bernard Tapie, eventually caught paying off referees.

Didn't Waddle blaze a penalty over the bar in said semi final?

Come on Primo, it will be very funny when you admit you are a Welsh man who hates the English, and that your'e choosing to have silly Anti Beckham views as a way of being anti English.

I'm right aren't I?

He used to be a footballer too don't you know...

The World Cup is the biggest and best football competition in the world and Waddle and the England team got to the semi final,Beckham never ever did.

He certainly did,the Germans went on to win the whole thing but England did get to the semi final which was their best placing since 1966. Beckham never got there.

So let me get this right. You reckon when Waddle casts his eye over his massive collection of prizes (three) he thinks "I was in the England team that lost to Italy in a World Cup 3rd place play off. I'm better than David Beckham".

Yeah, right.

Name 10 midfielders that have played for England in the last 10 years, that are better than Beckham.

How many World cup semi finals did Beckham play in again? Oh thats right,none. Waddle played in the best England team since 1966 who go to the semi finals and were beaten by the eventual winners.Stop trying to change the subject.

Yeah, right.

When did he say he was better than Beckham? Oh I see you are making that shit up to try and have the faintest argument. Epic fail.So they lost to Italy? The world cup was in Italy and the top scorer and best player of the competition was an Italian but he still got where Beckham never trod.

We're not talking about teams Welshy, we're talking about individuals. It's you who is desperately changing the subject. I asked you a question about Beckham.

Can't answer the question can you.

You have no football knowledge what so ever. You're very funny though.

Welshy???? You obviously have not got a clue about football, you have just read too much BS in the Sun newspaper(lol). I bet you even have loads of Beckham aftershave in your bathroom and the Spice Girls on your ipod. LMAO.

I think the point was that Waddle's sour grapes about Beckham are more to do with his lack of achievement and fame in the game. It's just plain jealousy is all.

If is claim to fame is being on a losing England side, good luck to him, I can think of plenty that fall into that category.

That EURO 96 side was a complete bunch of cnuts.
