Your Beckham hate has always been a bit unfounded, Andy. Whether or not we like it, Beckham has achieved a lot in his career and has always done well for the various teams he played for. Sure, he's got that annoying voice, the way too thin wife and he's too pretty to be straight (my god, he'd get fucked by just about everyone in jail), but he's one hell of a player. It's lame and I don't like to say it, but no one bends it like Beckham :D.

That's because Beckham is one of the all time best.

And I'm not joking. He was and still is a phenomenal player. The reason the Americans and English can't stand him is that he's such a public figure. It hasn't got anything to do with whether or not he's a good player.
People like you are why he's overrated. He has always been a limited player. Rather effective at what he does, but limited nonetheless.

He did what he has always done: stand where he is told to and keep possession.

Milan need to play him wider if they want to get the best out of him, though.
True, i still thought he would struggle more though, he certainly exceeded my expectations.

:lol2:

He's a good player but no way he's one of the best of all time. That would be an insult to hundreds of footballers.

If you've got the best cross in the entire world, you're great. No matter how limited people might call you.
Thats why i said he's good at what he does, but limited nonetheless. High work rate and a good cross is all that he has going for him.

Fergie said it best about him when he said something along the lines of "He can't dribble, he can't tackle, he can't use his left foot he can't head the ball but other than that he's a good player" :seven:

And we all know who won that discussion. Boy, Fergie looked a true gentleman.

Ever?

He may be top 300.

Just because he has a great right foot doesn't mean shit besides having a great right foot.
It's always difficult to decide about these things, let's say he's one of the better players right now. Is he overrated? I don't know, no one ever seems to rate Beckham anymore. I just think that it's quite an achievement for a 34 year old who has basically been on holiday for over a year to get on a plane, fly to Italy and play Roma - AC Milan right from the start.

big deal, it won't matter because we will still lose out on 3pts as we allow the tying goal with 2 minutes left in the game with them being 1 man down

Or if we allow 2 goals in the last minutes (one of them in the very last minute) and lose a match after leading 2:1 till the last 10 minutes of the match.

Man, Fiorentina is such a bad luck for us. Last season we led till the end when Mutu equalised from a stupid handball penalty. Then in the return match we had 2:1 and allowed them to beat us 3:2 in the last part of the match. This year, as you said, with 1:0 and a man more we let them score the equaliser at the very end.

Wasn't it George Best who said that?

I hope we finally manage to beat Fiorentina that have been black cats for us recently. I won't forget how I pulled my hair out of misery and anger for a whole day when we allowed them to get the win on our turf last season in Turin.
