Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

[Beef]

Confirmed. What a scoop by the Daily Mail. Beckham has retired.

Kinda obvious tbh.

 

[Joe!]

What's his next move then? He doesn't seem interested in management, but he has shown previous interest in youth development.

 

[Joe!]

I share my Bday with:
Chuck Norris
Osama Bin Laden
Sharon Stone
Etoo
And some cock called Sepp Blatter plus a few other randoms.

Happy Birthday Tom

Wow, that is an impressive list of awful people.

Team ownership? I wonder if he still has that clause in his contract that he can run a new MLS franchise...

 

[ThatThereSaintsFan]

Well Payet is a winger so can't be keeping Morgan out of of the team!

YOHAN CABAYE

ETIENNE CAPOUE

YOANN GOURCUFF

JOSUHA GUILAVOGUI

BLAISE MATUIDI

SAMIR NASRI

I got the wrong list anyway. Here are the midfielders keeping Morgan out of the squad.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Beckham will probably show his face now and then at his academies, and do some other occasional media chat shows and stuff.

Oh, and his modelling.

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

Beckham isn't even a footballer anymore, hasn't been for years ... he's a brand nowadays

Then it's all the more impressive that he's kept winning trophies. Ligue 1 this year, and was it two MLS cups? Pretty good for someone who's not even a footballer.

Except for all those games of football he's played and trophies he's won over the last few years, right?

If you notice, he only went to places where he could build up his profile.

Of course it's impressive he's won trophies, but as I say, he's a brand first, and a footballer second.

Still one of the most passionate players ever to play for England.

No. He's a footballer who grew into a brand. But he is primarily known for being a footballer.

He has a smart management team. Manchester, Madrid, Los Angeles, Milan, Paris. Nice.

Who would do such a thing?!

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Yep, I'd definitely go somewhere to damage and or destroy my profile and reputation.

Or he chose places which are really nice places to live with his family.
