God bless you darling boy...

...and thank you.

( Because, to paraphrase Colin Farrell in Alexander, he IS David Beckham. And trying not to love him is an exercise in futility.... )

Ack, all good things must end. But I understand the lad, I do, even if I have to say I've never understood the physical appeal. But I hope this will make it better for him. He's certainly had enough pressure over the years. Perhaps people'll start appreciating him more? I dunno. But humble is good for making friends.

I was gonna make an 'Oi, Mikey loves him too!'

But I gave up, because I can't ship people that barely share pic time anymore. :( I don't want to be a strange newbie that makes up C. Ron/Kaka. ;)

But yis, I'm gonna miss him as captain, and kissing everyone and all that. I may not approve who kisses, but it's his decision. ;)

I was absolutely gobsmacked when I found out about this. Never expected it in a million years. I always said JT would make a better captain and I can't imagine he won't get the armband now, if not it'd be a travesty. But, in hindsight, David's not done too shabby a job these past six years. :) He really impressed me this World Cup with his leadership and maturity.

End of an era, start of a new one. Hopefully even better. :)

He can't do this. Oh please someone say "Gotcha! Just kidding. He'll always be captain. Until he's dead. And even then he'll still be captain. Simply because he can."

*is in need of a cigarette* I mean, first there's pictures of the England boys just devastated and now this ... I'm snotting and weeping all over myself in a most undignified manner. But these boys are breaking my heart!

Totally off topic, indeed, but have added you to my woeful f-list since, apparently, you are the best thing since Sliced Apple in Bags at Boots (as part of the Meal Deal!)

I am?

Oh hun, I've been hyped. Prepare thyself for crushing disappointment.

Well, in fairness, those Boots Apples can be a bit dry, and sometimes, they taste a bit like bagged poison so...yeah!
