David Beckham and his wife, the once famous Posh Spice arrived at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday night, to begin their new life in the United States. Dozens of journalists jostled to get a view of the Beckham’s before they got into their Black SUV and sped away. Although the children were also on the flight with them they did not exit the terminal with the Beckham’s. I presume the Spice Girl forgot them.

The big question is… can Beckham sell football to the states? And I mean REAL football. Not the American ”I grope you, you grope me, grope-fest”.

What do you think?

Well… not yet… But he will… He’s been included in the provisional 30 man England squad for the forthcoming 20/20 World Cup. This is the first time he’s been in the England setup since he went home early from Australia with a stress-related illness.

Other players included in the squad are Chris Schofield and Darren Maddy. Uncapped Essex opener Mark Pettini and Sussex all-rounder Luke Wright are also in, but Andrew Strauss is a surprise exclusion.

…

I’d make a joke… But it’s not nice to make fun of people with mental deficciencies. So when they give you shit as a present, you MUST MUST  MUST accept it with a smile and a nod. Also don’t ever destroy their dreams. If they want to be billionaires say ”You can do it!”, and if they think they can fly, push them off a cliff.

Sure they might (read:will) die. But the DREAM stays alive. And that’s what counts.

Former Getafe manager Bernd Schuster has been made manager of Real Madrid. The decision has been taken following the sacking of Fabio Capello, after he led Real Madrid to their first league title in three seasons, and he seemed to fit in instantly with the Madrid way of life, declaring his undying love for a player he will likely never be able to sign.

He said (about Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas),

“He is one of the few players in his position that can carry a team.”

Earlier speculation had indicated that Real were courting Arsene Wenger (refuted by Arsenal), Ronald Koeman and Michael Laudrup for the role as well.

Ramon Calderon had said,

“Once we decided that Capello would not continue, Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic underwent talks with Schuster, Ronald Koeman, Michael Laudrup and Wenger. It appears logical that Schuster will be the next coach,”

That makes sense. Ignoring a manager with 16 trophies to his credit, to hire a man that wasn’t good enough for Levante… score?

Reports indicate that Argentinian striker, Carlos Tevez, has agreed terms with Manchester United. The Premier League says the transfer must be “done directly” with West Ham rather than his agent Kia Joorabchian, after West Ham were fined 5.5 million Pounds due to the dodgy deal.

If anything this deal is even more dodgy as earlier today, West Ham chairman, Eggert Magnusson, insisted that the 23 year old belonged to West Ham and would be going nowhere.But Joorabchian’s lawyers say the deal has progressed with the “knowledge and permission” of the Upton Park outfit.

This deal stinks worse than Paris Hilton’s performance in House of Wax!

Not funny? I didn’t think so either, but successful people realize that there is no such thing as failure… just results. So the result of my failed joke is that I didn’t make you laugh.

I’m successful now!
