?4m a year for a has been. Thanks SKY.

[number 6]

The guy is a walking doormat,probably told what to do ,wear and say by his missus every day. Never had an original thought in his entire life bless him.

"no discernible talent" are you taking the piss? Love him or hate him he is a talented footballer and you can never take that away from him. Is he the best that has ever been? Of course not, but is he in the top 100 all time players YES he is. The boy has football talent.

All the comments about Beckham on here are typically British. The Brits hate a success story for some reason. I do not know why, but we do. While Americans on the other hand love a success story.

Love him or hate him he is talented and a success.

Is he worth 4m to Sky, fuck yes, Brand Beckham is enormous, Sky will make that money back with ease, a smart move by sky in my book.

Again love Sky or hate Sky, they have improved Sport on TV 1000% if it now makes the other channels work hard to win us over then all the better.

Competition in the market place is always a good thing.

@ zorro.serious question,how have they improved sport 100%?? Get past the media sucing up to them,they are obsessed with gimmicks,the golf coverage is appalling,boxing they have ruined,i much prefer eurosport,unfortunately you can only get them on subscription tv but at leastthey keep the coverage pure and free of idiot commentators. Look at how the bbc covered the british open golf,absolute first class stuff,NO ADVERTS,how it should be. Fuck sky,i cancelled my subscription ages ago.

Football talent...well blow me down that's totally revised my opinion of him.

[Arginald Valleywater]

So it's not just me then! Phew.

[Zorro]

Gentleman, I don't get you complaining about Beckham. He is a footballer with serious football talent, but that does not appear to be enough for you. What other talent do you think a footballer should have?

[Zorro]

number 6, Sky have improved sport 100% by the sheer volume of sport now available to us compared with 20 years ago. We never had access to the volume of football, rugby, cricket games etc that we have now. With it come a lot of pomp and advertising, but to watch this level of sport I can and will live with that.

[MrTickle]

Sky is the cancer of football as far as i'm concerned. Football was more of a level playing field until it came along. As for Beckham he can fuck off and die for all I care

[Zorro]

"As for Beckham he can fuck off and die for all I care"

Why? Where is all this hatred and anger coming from? I just do not get why anyone could hate someone they have never met and do not know, who has not done anything to hurt them or other people so much. Do you hate all success stories? Please give me a tiny glimmer into what has caused this level of hatred?

[b217bravo]

George Best, a truly talented footballer, when asked about Beckham allegedly replied, Can't run, Can't tackle, Can't dribble, Can't head, apart from that he's not bad.
Sums Becham up nicely for me.
