David Beckham and LA Galaxy have signed to play a one-off game against Sydney FC in November. Football Federation Australia secured the promotional coup, conditional on the participation of the English superstar, News Limited reported. The match is scheduled for Sydney's Telstra Stadium on November 27 with FFA to spend the profits on the entire A-League. Acting premier John Watkins said the deal, supported by the state government and Telstra Stadium, was a major coup for Sydney. "In the world of sports entertainment there is no bigger name than David Beckham," he told News Limited. LA Galaxy had planned an Asian tour but cancelled all but the Sydney leg. Off TWG website. Interesting match, which should give a boost to crowd numbers  |

"ooooh posh spice is a slapper, she is a dirty wife... and when shes shagging beckham... she thinks of ian fyfe"... Or even Iain Fyfe! :-) They say all clubs will share the profits but what will happen to the inevitable loss (unles they got Telstra Stadium free). It is not like it is NY Cosmos with Pele and the Kaiser! |

The words 'Beckham' and 'nuts', go very well together.....in both contexts- waxed and mad..

Given that the tickets will probably be expensive another famous sex pistols quote might be appropriate at the end of the game.
"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Goodnight!"

Oh, we won 5 and they won none, doo-dah, doo-dah!! Wrong sport Auburn - Cricket requires very little skill (now I wait for Auburn to go nuts) - Cricket produces many fine athletes like Mike Gatting! When English fans sing god save the queen there is no other nation that sings as loud and as proud, it sometimes send shivers down the spine! I now consider myself half aussie (been here long enough) and will be following Australia in every major event.......but Advance Australia Fair will NEVER be sung with the same passion and intensity as god save the queen! (even thou it's a shit boring national anthem and I hate the queen  So, going back to the game (lol) I'll be attending in my England shirt ;D |
