So the Yanks have been conned into paying our David $1m a week to do heaven knows what. Leaving aside the fact that this man is not considered good enough to be a regular in the Real Madrid starting line-up, is there not something horribly wrong with a world in which a second rate ball-kicker can be the recipient of such obscene largesse ?
Beckham and his wife have done nothing to enhance our world in any respect. We can only hope that this ludicrous venture proves to be as much of a flop as did the previous attempt to convert our American cousins to 'soccer'; on that occasion they had some genuine talent, with the likes of Pele and George Best involved and yet it still failed. At the very least, it will cost the sponsors a fortune and perhaps teach them a lesson, and it will remove the Beckhams from our shores and, hopefully, our television screens magazines and newspapers, for a very long time, if not forever.
Or am I being too optimistic ?
