Someone has been reading 442 this month.

[The Quasi Juice]

Wish I could buy 442 in Holland, used to buy it in the UK. That guy has had an hilarious career.

[Colly]

Just love the fact he's now at Ramblers FC.

The best part is the bit where the Crazy Gang told him to go to some women and say "Hi, I'm Lutz, you cunts."

Guy sounded like a right maniac, but a decent guy too.

The Beckham's have had their first daughter safely delivered this morning in LA. Good for them.

They've named her Harper Seven Beckham.

South Korea's football league is introducing lie-detector tests to battle corruption in the sport.

A match-fixing scandal among the country's top players was uncovered recently, and has continued to spread through the industry.

Players from six teams are now under investigation.

The K-League is taking a carrot-and-stick approach to tackling this huge scandal, introducing new sanctions but also raising the players' minimum wage.

All players suspected of wrongdoing will now have to take a polygraph - or lie-detector - test.

There will also be sanctions for clubs found guilty of match-fixing and a series of seminars on preventing corruption. It will compulsory to attend the seminars and any player who misses them will be suspended.

But there is a sweetener too: the K-League said it would double the annual minimum wage for players, apparently in an attempt to remove temptation.

The minimum wage is currently around $11,000 (£6,900) - less than half the national average income.

So far 46 players and 11 gambling brokers have been charged in the match-fixing scandal.

Prosecutors allege the players took money in return for making deliberate mistakes in at least 15 matches last year.

Ten players have so far been given lifetime bans.

Steve Harper Beckham?

I approve.

Beat me to it by a mile. I also approve.

[Matt]

Well i didn't think Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz could be outdone but clearly they've managed it, kudos.

[The Quasi Juice]

Personally would have chosen Tim Krul Beckham

[DavidMarrio]

Personally would have chosen Tim Krul Beckham

Tim would be a bit of a strange name for a girl It'd be better than being called Harper and having a number as your middle name though

[Pesci]

I've got no problem with Harper, but Seven? >_<

[Lineker]

He's number 23 ffs!

[Starvinho]

He's number 23 ffs!

He's saving 23 for his next kid...

Odds on his next child being called some sort of punctuation mark? I'm going for #

[Lineker]

!xobileh

[Baddar]

Odds on his next child being with another woman?

Seriously, who cares about the name? All of the others are shit anyway, what did you expect?
