southern scouser i agree.
there's no doubt of Paul Scoles' "attributes" of which Stu loves bangin on about. the fact is last year he didnt come close at all to what hes capable of.
Beckham. nobody can ever ever ever ever tell me that his status as a footballer has not risen due to his status as a celebrity. i'm not stupidly biased where i'll slag anything off that is Man U. you just make a fool of yourself when you do this and keep a serious opinion. but Beckham should never be England Captain, should never have been nominated for European/Worls player of the year. there are dozens better than him in Europe and the World. if they went and married some soft @rse who's on the cover of all the rags in Britain and the states, they would also be analysed and have more notice taken of them. we've been told for a long time to constantly look at Beckham. as a result, we do see a good player, we see someone bangin in free kicks etc and come up with the conclusion that he's "world class." if the focus was taken off him and put on someone like Paul Schiles (incidentally) it would be him who woul be captaining England, and being in the top 3 in Europe etc etc.
without wanting to argue with people, i cant understand how they done see how much they've been tricked into believing Beckham is as good as he is. obviously there's no smoke without fire, and to have a reputation like that you must have something indeed more than just "something", but the reputation just doesnt match the ability.
its not the chilli sauce on kebabs that give you ring-sting, its the actual meat. had one without chilli, and still had ring-sting. the chilli's only there to mask the nonsense they stuff inside that bread.
