Typical Becks really.... Last night he scored for Real Madrid on his return to say up yours much the same way he came on for Man United and scored a fantastic Free kick against Real in the semi's i think it was. Becks could still do a job for England FACT!

I have to agree, McClaren don't know his arse from his fucking elbow

better than Shaun Wright-Phillips....

Should still be involved

neither do most england fans seeing as they were calling for him to be dropped. :-))(

I'd sooner have Lennon on the Right wing.

 :toppost: Spot on son, spot on. The Greedy cunt can stay in the states when he gets there.

 :soap:
so if you was offered a shit load of money to play football etc in the states you'd say no???

get real. he only did what everyone else would have done.
accepted a very good offer. it's the Americans fault for paying him such high wages.

True, its not his fault.  But he cant have his cake and eat it. (mmmmmmm cake)

If he is playing in a sub-standard legaue he aint going to get an international recall, even if Mclaren (hopefully) gets the sack.

You need to focus on the real issue here (no pun intended); that is Posh can't get a Green Card for all her bodyguards... :|

Whilst Lennon is a cracking player and one for the future. He is no David Beckham.

Plus, what with Joe Cole being injured you could have Lennon on the left and Becks on the right.

I slated McClaren for dropping him and stand by that. Becks should still be in the team and tbh I think he should still be the England captain

IMHO he is still good enough for the squad - to say he's not playing because he's not getting club matches is a farce - both SWP and Richardson have featured under McLaren despite playing little club football.  Becks shouldn't be skipper, and IMHO never should have been - he raised his performance when the team were struggling, for me a captain needs to raise the performance of those around them.  That said even when we were beset by injuries Beckham didnt' get in the team - McLaren is on an ego trip, and won't admit he got it wrong - with Joe Cole out Becks could play left side-  he's never been able to beat a man so cutting in shouldn't be an issue and his quality would be effective from that side.  

Going to LA to play in an inferior league is partly about money and you can't blame him for that, but the fact it is inferior means he's kissed goodbye to his England career whoever is in charge as others have said.

I agree with matty.

Can someone remind me what qualifies McLaren to manage England?
I mean....whats he won? Granted he enjoyed some great  times under Fergie at the planks but thats it!

Get McLaren out and give the job to Stuart Pearce full time.

Erm, What's Stuart Pearce won???

Saying that, What has any english manager won recently?

the only one to win something recently is.....Steve McClaren!

Give the job to Wenger....

jesus christ alive.

if there's a fickle, media-led band-wagon to jump on, then you can bet your life that stfc-gazza will be among the first to sign up.

...but you can you honestly tell me Shaun Wright-Phillips is a better player than David Beckham?

Can you honestly say you dont think David Beckham is good enough for England...

...complete toss, yes its in the media...but Beckham has always been a class act and is better than anything in that midfield last week

The decision to appoint  McClaren was driven by the print media....McClaren's decision to ditch Beckham was similarly driven.

   Scolari once he got a whiff of the English media intrusion was  :run:

  Unfortunately the FA can't afford to sack the scummer....well not until Sven is off the payroll.

i assume aaron lennon is first choice right winger (??) so the fact that SWP did sod all against spain (and is obviously inferior anyway) is irrelevant.

as for steve mclaren... well there i was thinking things would be so different under sven's assistant.

BUMP

Beckhams just been sent off. Never a red. Looks like that might be the final nail in his madrid coffin then

Becks may even be back yet! His current form is something Maclaren cannot ignore surely.

I'd love him back in the team.

Has Macca seen the light?!  :shock:

I defy anyone to watch that video and argue that Shaun Wright-Phillips is a better player than Beckham.
