David Beckham (L) Fabio Capello (R)

(Source) Becks was apparently absent because of being ill when coach Fabio Capello visited Arsenal’s London Colney training complex on Thursday. Capello was on-site for a tour of the faicilities as he will use them to prepare his England squad for their first match against Switzerland next month.At this time, I have been unable to have more details on beck’s situation, if any fan come across info regarding this, please pass it along so I can update other fans.
*Interesting to note that there are also rumors of his wife, Victoria vomited on stage in a concert (Unconfirmed rumors to my knowledge)… maybe she passed the flu on to Becks? :)

UPDATE: Thanks to Fans for pointing out that he was en-route to Sierra Leone ona 2 day trip where he arrived on late Friday. So this must be the real reason for missing the meeting.
Also – the rumors about Victoria aren’t true, seems it was a little blogger having fun :)


McClaren Wants Beckham To Get his 100th Cap

ESPN and other news sites quoted ex-England coach Steve McClaren on support our David Beckham for getting his 100th Cap, he’s not the first one, just adds to the growing list of people who think along the same lines. Here’s what he had to say:
‘I sincerely hope he gets it,’ said McClaren. ‘He deserves it, he’s worked hard. He would have achieved it already but for injuries at the end of the campaign. ‘It’s a friendly, he knows the manager. I think the whole country would like to see it as well.’The coach who had controversially dropped Beckham for his first game in charge of England seems to be expecting big things from him this year.

‘I’ve said it to him and I’ve spoken to other people – it’s like a new signing all over again,’ said McClaren. ‘Although you’ve had the furore of David Beckham coming over off the field, now you get David Beckham on the field and that can only be good for MLS.’


Thierry Replaces Beckham as New Face of Gillette

(Source) Our star apparently parted with his supposedly lucrative deal with Gilette because his terms couldn’t be met. He will be replace Thierry Henry. It’s believed Becks wanted a cut of the profit and that this couldn’t be met by Gillette. Probably their loss though, hopefully another smarter company snaps him up and gives him what he wants :) . Gillette may be “the best a man can get” but I’m sure it’s not the best Beckham can get :)

UPDATE: Thanks for pointing out this is old new fans, I guess it got news coverage again because of Thierry Henry getting the contract.
