I love this, but imagine it on fucking Mike Dean. He'd spend the game asking his assistants if his gestures are on point.

 

It would be glorious for the fume from so many people.

Hey, Ft Lauderdale City Commission, why did you give Beckham's proposal the nod at the cost of 60 years of Ft Lauderdale sporting history?

Gordon Taylor is set to announce he is standing down as chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association after 38 years in the role.

It follows a mutiny from PFA chairman Ben Purkiss and former players over governance issues and controversy over Taylor's £2.2m salary compared to money given to player welfare services.

A statement is expected to be issued at the start of the PFA's annual general meeting which should have taken place in November but is taking place on Wednesday at Manchester's Midland Hotel.

Taylor has been advised by senior colleagues that if he wants to avoid being challenged at the meeting, he needs to announce his departure.

It is understood that Taylor's preference is to oversee the appointment of a successor and stay in post until the completion of an independent governance review that was recently announced, but it is unclear whether that will be deemed acceptable.

Barry Town qualified for next seasons Europa League yesterday!

In more Miami Beckhams (a Delaware company) news:

*Lights are being removed from Lockhart stadium.

*Before the scheduled demolition date

*While there is pending ligitation to stop the lease and demolition of Lockhart.

*The plaintiffs want to remodel Lockhart and form a new team themselves, thus the point of this illegal demolition is to attempt to get the lawsuit dropped.

David Beckham is the Antichrist.

He's a saint.

He scored some sweet free kicks though.

Yeah I mean I’m generally opposed to English players, but Beckham is one of the few likeable ones.

Wow.

Would have been easier to just get a custom made off Moonpig tbh.

What goes through the mind of someone who would go to the effort of buying a card, writing all of that - some of the most stupefying, hate-filled drivel I've ever read - and sending it presumably to McLean's address? Got to be something seriously wrong with an individual like that.

Why do people hate McLean again, because he doesn't wear a poppy? Is there really much more to it? Insanity.

[Gazz]

Also, the juxtaposition of hating McLean for not wearing a poppy / supporting British troops and extolling the virtues of Hitler, all in a couple of sentences.

I don't really like saying this about sports people but Beckham is a true role model.

I like how people are memeing the racist death threats aimed at James McClean. Be interesting to see the reaction if a black or Muslim player got the a similar letter.

Hey, blame the Ireland subreddit for that one

It's not even just the joking. McClean has yearly scheduled month of persistent abuse about his nationality and religion, yet nobody cares and nothing gets done to change it.
