David Beckham back in Madrid
David Beckham was back in Madrid with Victoria for the Spice Girls concert there. He dined at one of his favorite restaurants, Asador Donostiarra, earlier today and took the time to pose with staff and fans. He picked up some of his favorite black leg spanish ham and a box of spanish wine to take back to England for Christmas! Photos are in the gallery.Becks welcomes Capello
BBC Sport reports that David Beckham has welcomed Fabio Capello's appointment as England manager saying -'Fabio is one of the managers players look up to and want to manage them. I hope I'll be part of his plans, I think he is going to be great for the players and the England team."
"Everyone wants someone leading you that has respect and success. Fabio definitely has that"
Becks said of his past relationship with Capello at Real Madrid, "There were ups and downs with me and the manager at the time but he brought me back into the team and he had the belief in me to put me back in the team... It gave me an amazing end and I was sad when he got the sack as I believe he had turned the club and the players around and given the fans what they deserved, a trophy."
"I think he is a great appointment for England. Everyone wants someone leading you that has respect and success. He has definitely got that in his career."
David Beckham made these comments on BBC Radio 2's Line of Enquiry which will be broadcast on Christmas Day! The show will air right after the Queen's message at 3.05pm British Standard Time (BST) which is 4.05pm CET - 7.05am US PT and 10.05am US ET - but double check your own timezone to be on the safe side!
You can read details of the show including some of the songs chosen by fans and by Becks to be played during the program, such as Boney M's Daddy Cool. The Sun also has a preview of a few of the comments from the show, online here. The BBC has two short audio previews. Here is audio of Becks talking about Capello and audio of Becks talking about his son Brooklyn.
Radio 2 programs can be listened to live via their website and are also available on demand for seven days after they have been broadcast, so if you can't listen live you should be able to catch the show later! Just look for the listen again option on the site.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I think the lad will fare much better with Capello. I think he could be just what the doctored ordered. Now it will be Christmas in just a few hours here in OZ so best of the season to all. Hope you get to let you hair down and have a knees up! Enjoy. I'm off to church to pray for my soul before the day of greed and gluttony gets into full swing

Syd, I hope you have lots and lots of fun and a very little hang over :)
Thanks Lulu and Ruby same to you with a cherry on top lol :)
To the person who asked about e-mailing Becks - thanks for the kind words and I think the best way to contact Becks online is through his official myspace. Once you are added as a friend you can leave notes for him there :)
