This is what you SHOULD've had

Mr Stuart Pearce. Manager or Great Britain's football team for the Olympics. Let me remind you why David Beckham should NEVER have been overlooked for the squad.

I am obviously a Beckham fan and always was pro-Becks for the Olympics. Yes, I believe he deserves a place purely based on what he did as an ambassador to bring it to London in the first place, you could see how much it meant to him, how patriotic he is. Its all well saying 'everyone would have wanted to be part of the team', but that's not an excuse or an argument against his inclusion. I didn't see anyone else volunteering as much as he did (football-wise). However, I still firmly believe he is capable of playing at the highest standard, he has shown it with many displays for LA Galaxy where he has been the stand-out player. Perhaps he wouldn't be the stand out player in a European team but he would still do a job. Also, his wealth of experience is unrivalled. No-one has the international experience he does in team GB. Giggs, domestically yes, but not Internationally. And you're telling me Micah Richards deserves a place after refusing to go on the stand-by list for the European Championships? Beckham would have chewed his own arm off to be on the stand-by list. It makes me angry that people have written him off as a has-been when the above link demonstrates otherwise, as does the 2012 ESPY he won for the 'Best MLS Player' earlier this month.

Stuart Pearce. England lion and legend you may be, but you have made a mistake with this selection. Why place him on the list, raising hopes (his AND ours) of playing amongst all the media hype if you were never going to take him. It seems you have made an example of him, almost as badly and distastefully as Steve 'wolly with the brolly' McClaren. I for one am much less looking forward to travelling ALL the way to Cardiff to see the team minus David Beckham.

Becks and H&M Collaborate

No, I'm not going to post a picture of him IN his new pants

So, yesterday Mr. Beckham launched his new range of underwear and lounge-wear at Regent Streets H&M branch. Needless to say you could probably see the crowds from space. Taking a leaf out of his wife's books, he has ventured into the world of his own fashion label, but keeping it relatively simple (thus far) may I say. The range consists of: briefs, boxer/briefs, boxer/trunks, boxer shorts, pyjama bottoms, t-shirt, vest, grandad top and long-johns, all varying in choices of either white, black or grey. I guarantee you will now see (well you won't actually see, and I can't actually guarantee either) a large proportion of the male population will be wearing the range. I'm sure (I'm not actually s...ok, enough) it won't be long before a range of shirts, jeans, knitted cardigans and hats etc. follow. Maybe he's starting with the undergarments and is slowly going to work outwards, like getting dressed, so you can eventually wear everything 'David Beckham' from pants to a coat. Maybe just don't start that process quite yet.
