Totally agree with decision to omit Beckham from olympic squad but cannot believe Ryan Giggs has been picked. This, the Proud Welshman who seemed to find an injury everytime his country had a friendly game!

Disagree m8 .. beckham should be there ..
done alot for the games . and still a good player .. and dont forget .. we will be knock out early .. stuart p.. crap manager ..

No way should Beckham be there. The Olympics are not some sort of cosy testimonials for has-beens to have a last run out in front of their fans. Maybe Lord Coe should be allowed a trot round the 800m as well?

You obviously don't understand the concept, the olympics are for everyone, not just football supporters, people who wish to see an icon lime Becks play at the end of his career, however, a talentless fool like Pearce has chosen bellamy...says it all {Ed001's Note - you clearly know nothing about the concept, the idea of the Olympics is to try and win. Nothing to do with 'icons', it is about competing. Which is why Pearce is the worst choice for manager, he is useless at best. But, to suggest picking Becks because a few simpletons want to watch him prance about the pitch, is just idiotic. The best possible team should have been picked.}

Ed001.. normally agree with you ..
but becks should be playing .. ive you watched are main team .. yes crap as well .. if we had 18 players that you would say .. are good ..then yes .. dont pick him.. but we havent ..

maximus {Ed001's Note - sorry but I disagree, he is playing in the MLS, which is dire. I would rather pick a 17 year old than give him yet more of a chance to take over the occasion in front of the cameras. He turns everything into a media circus, which is the last thing an U23 team needs. Though I wouldn't have picked Bellamy either, no matter how brilliant he was last season, he needs to rest his knees, not play meaningless games.}

Oliver Norwood has just joined Huddersfield Town. Just saying that maybe this is a replacement for Rhodes as he's probably going to Reading.

Just goes to show how much you know about football really, Norwood plays in midfield & Rhodes is a striker, so that wud make it a terrible replacement !

Breaking news from Derby County. The Rams have had a £1.75m bid for Nicky Maynard accepted, negotiations will start later this week.

Jason Shackell is still a Ram at the moment but sources tell me that Leicester City could make a £1.75m offer for the centre back. Derby currently looking at Pearce from Notts County as well as Magnus Okuonghae.

This is Don's season. After announcing the arrival of Mick Harford and Ian Wright to the backroom staff it's already looking very positive.

It could see some very exciting new signings - now that Winkle is splashing the cash.

It could see the signing of Alan Smith who will be a great asset. As well as the possibility of re-signing of Mk Dons top goal scorer Izale McLeod, who is currently a free agent after being released by Barnet.

Mick Harford who has stepped into John Gormans boots has had wealth of experience scouting players for various clubs.Between him and Karl they set their eyes upon five new players.

The squad who wont change over summer however, it will be added to and strengthened.

Ian Wright as part of back room staff, how is that positive?

oliver norwood has signed for town! still think we're deluded reading fans?

Who is Oliver Norwood? Not an established player - was on loan at Coventry and they got relegated. Hardly a marquee signing

21, Northern Irish International, been at Man U since 7. They wanted to keep him but he wants regular first team football. Time will tell, but he fits the Town model of buying young up and coming footballers, e,g. Pilkington, Peltier, Rhodes, ward, Novak.

I have heard a few people that have seen the new Southampton kit and apparently there is a leak on the internet today. All have said it is ugly.

It's not ugly it's just different to a normal saints kit, that's the problem people have

Haha u have not a clue mate. my wife was at his medical and he passed with no problems. im not a reading fan by the way. how do u know whats in his contract??

Your not a reading fan your a bitter fulham fan, he's a brilliant signing for us and most players are swayed by money I would move to a different club if I got paid more money and so would you don't say you would be loyal because you wouldnt

Am I alone in hoping that the news that Beckham isn't going to be in the GB Olympic team is the last we ever hear of him? For 15 years now I've been bored stiff by constant media stories about a player who was at best an above average dead ball merchant who happened to be good looking? The cult of celebrity around him lead people to think he was a far better player than he was and his England career was at least 3 years too long and the fact that he has more caps than players like Hoddle, Shearer and Gascoigne is just embarrassing. His patriotism is also a bit bogus as he as stated he has no intention of returning from the US when he stops playing (playing for England basically meant more exposure and therefore more lucrative endorsements) Rant over

What a knab .. name one england player that has shone in the last 12 years ??
none .. beckham ,yes not great .. just like the rest of them..
