Hi guys

I have some great news and I want you the fans to be the first to know!

I have signed for the Phoenix.  You heard me right, I have signed for the Phoenix.

Let me explain.

You may have heard the news about Frank Yallop resigning as coach of my current club the Los Angeles Galaxy.  This has enabled me to exercise a clause in my contract that allows me to part terms with the club.

Why would I want to do this?  To play for the Phoenix of course.

I heard about the difficulty that the Phoenix are having finding a stable defense.  This seems to me to be the challenge that I was looking for when I came to play in the MLS, but which has since turned out to be just a promotion exercise.

Proving myself as a defender has been something I have wanted to do for a long time.  Whenever I have offered to play fullback Sir Alex Ferguson, or Sven Goran Erickson, or anyone else who has had the privilege of coaching me, has insisted that I am too valuable too the team to play as a defender.  In fact, I had a long standing ban from tackling imposed on me while I was playing for Manchester United.  This has resulted in me developing into a purely attacking player, which is something I want to change before I retire from playing football.

So I will be heading to Wellington soon to fill the starting Right Fullback spot.

Hopefully you will welcome me, and my family, to your wonderful city with open arms.  I know you were not expecting to see me until next month, but I will be honouring the contract for the Phoenix vs Galaxy game, only playing for the home team.

Hope to see you soon.

Yours,

David Beckham

Dear David,

in your recent email you appear to have accidentally deleted a crucial word before pressing send.

If we place the word "up" just before the word "yours" we get a clearer picture of your attitude to our beloved club

and yes Dear 'David" we are happy to reciprocate.


(actually, it wasn't bad DB )

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

don't want to comment.
But I just got up (830am on a saturday, what a pitiful life!) and I had a dream, in which I met Tony P and he told me Pistone had been signed...
(He aslo gave me a free All Whites t-shirt with the players' autographs...)
 
 
so, as they say.....premomitory dreams might come true......
 
and screw Beckham, don't want a sissy boy in my team! Besides, MAYBE if the NZ Govt decided to commute the whole of the Student Debt towards Beckham salary, MAYBE in that case he would listen to a proposal from down under

On behalf of my master, the Special One, can I just say we are happy in Portugal and have no plans to take over anywhere at the moment.  We are enjoying the extra time we now have for extended walkies. In any event, he's already got more cash than your Terry the Greek person will ever have.  Plus, Karl Dodd is no John Terry. 
 
Woof woof.
