Watching SkySports News earlier, I see their latest 'Yes/No' Interactive Vote is whether or not David Beckham should remain our regular penalty-kick taker after that miss against France on Sunday.
First of all, the majority of all votes went in his favour.
But then, the greater percentage edged over to 'No'.
And now.... Sorry, I don't know!
But, I did "waste" 25p+ on a text message voting in favour of a new spot-kick taker. Someone more accustomed to goal-scoring and driving the ball down the middle - much like Alan Shearer - rather than going for poncey old placement.
To tell you the truth, I've never really understood why he was chosen for any reason other than for the 'BS' and hype Sven-Goran Eriksson buys into, anyway! His free-kicks may be immaculate and he is captain, but does that
make him the ideal choice as "fans' favourite"?
I can't think of a single time he took on for Man. United OUTSIDE of a Charity Shield game. There was that one-time while he was on-loan at Preston a decade ago, and then there was that "Jonny Wilkinson" against Turkey - that's all I can recall before France.
Paul Scholes can really hit them. Michael Owen's our No.1 for finishing. When playing, Frank Lampard's had a 100% record for Chelsea this past season. I'm sure Steven Gerard could do the right thing when called upon. Wayne Rooney's fast-becoming everybody's favourite, and I'm sure even David James would know exactly where to put the ball...
I'm after your opinions on this matter, please. And, at 'no-price-to-pay', I'm after more than just a simple 'Yes' or 'No' answer, thanks.
Should David Beckham still be taking penalty kicks for England?
If not, who would you choose and why?
-----
Also, their are two opinions (as ever in these big games) as to what 'that' actually was.
In your opinion, was it a good save from Fabien Barthez, or, simply, a crap penalty from David Beckham?
As arrogant Englishman who are likely to stand behind their nonced-up Pop Idolic leader, I'd expect the major part of this country to be applauding "Broken-Nose" Barthez for his heroics, whatever the final result.

What's that for, you idiotic, moronic fool?
...
Hush, idiot.
The Scottish league is a joke, fact.
Larsson has impressed me outside of domestic competition and I pretty much live for football watching and going to as many games as possible.
I don't discredit players who have actually shown something decent outside of the domestic setup, Alan Thompson though has done absolutely nothing in the UEFA Cup games I have watched and the friendly he played in for England a couple of months back. I fail to see anything that he offers that either Hargreaves, Butt, Wayne Bridge (if people are going to start getting picky about left sided midfield options) and Dyer don't.
Anything domestic in the Scotish league I have no patience for, it is a joke. The players who have had the chance to prove it at Intrenational level or in European competition I have the time for, Larsson is one of those players however Alan Thompson hasn't stood out as anything even warranting an England call up.
Oh and lets stop all the idiot/moron/fool comments, that is all you can actually come out with. Can't you actually put up an argument or do you always aim to miserably fail at trying to brow beat people?

Alastair you've been taking too many of those idiocy pills that your private doctor prescribed. Diagnosis: you're an idiot.

Return of the Random Insult Generator That Works By Randomly Piecing Negative Words Together™.
Oh dear God.
And again, mon frere, avoid the point. The fact of the matter is, you cannot discredit players that play in the SPL, and Larsson is perfect evidence of this.
Idiot.

Just like your completely spasticated take on Alan Thompson.
Larsson, anyone?
Oh yes, he played in the SPL until very recently.
Didn't he just score two brilliant goals last night at the highest level?
What's that? Yes he did?
