(Source) Coach Fabio Capello, in a press release today, warned that Beckham and Terry will not be given any special treatments.

Fabio who will name his first England squad just a day ahead of the friendly Match at Wembley on February 6th, was quoted as saying:

“All managers have sentiment but they also need to take decisions,”

And

“Beckham is important for England and can still give a lot, but as everybody knows, all the players are equally important to me and start from the same position, including David Beckham.”

Statements that are sure to make any fan a bit worried, specially the dedicated ones on DBFO. We will cover developments on this closely :)

(Source) Well more precisely, slippers :) As one fan reported in the comments section here a few days ago, it looks like this is really going to happen. A number of news source reported the agreement between Snoop and Becks to design these slippers, including the PR Inside New Release site. No word yet on the release date or what they will look like but it sure will be interesting to follow!

‘In other news’

Sorry it’s not some more Becks news :) , this is just to say hello to everyone. My name is Franco and I’m the new webmaster taking over for Anna. You all seem like very friendly bunch so I’m sure I will enjoy this journey with you and make friends along the way. Thanks for those who have already welcomed me with opened arms.

I must say though, this is my first Post. It wasn’t as easy as I thought, as Anna has left very big shoes to fill. I’ll probably have a different style of doing things, so hopefully that will be an exciting change of pace :)

I’m sure the quality of the posts won’t be as good in the beginning so you’ll have to forgive me while I get used to this. Your suggestions & comments are certainly welcomed.

My main business is being a web developer so you can expect some additions to the site. What is there now is already good in my opinion… I will be adding more things like a discussion forum so all you cool people can hang out and chill and talk about Becks :) .

If you have any questions, comments or whatever, please email me at franco at media-discounters dot com (replace at with @ and dot come with .com and remove the spacing, I put it this way so the spam bots don’t find my email and spam me to death :) )

I am also looking for people who are interested in contributing to the site in any way. Writing news articles for the blog, being involved in the future forum (perhaps as a moderator or otherwise) or anything else really. If you have some things you’d like to see done too, I’d like to hear about those.

So here’s to a new adventure. Cheers :)
