Brilliant Beau!

 

At the end of the day, football is really a game of two halves isn't it? When the final whistle blows you're either over the moon or as sick as a parrot. Even if the ball hits the woodwork, the player knows that if it had gone it the net it'd have been a goal, and sometimes you have to be happy with the draw.

 

Sorry to mock - I know that football isn't a matter of life and death but that some people understand its more important than that!

PS I love a good David Beckham joke - so was glad to see how many times he cropped up on the stupidity league!
