good performance; Beckham hints at staying with AC Milan (AFP)

i peeled open my eyes just to wait a delayed match of AC Milan vs Bologna 2 days ago, but to much of my disappointment there was nothing. instead of broadcasting AC Milan, local TV had chosen to air a match between  AS Roma and Napoli! whatta a mess!. i'd had this weird feeling of not able to watch the match. it was just an hour before FA CUP matches and it would be follish to hope the match will be aired live on TV, but i waited anyway. sometimes things happened for a reason, it sounds cliche but it's true. i was searching for a review of the match on youtube and found something worth more than that. youtube user uploaded a video that says, free live football match. i was curious as hell and clicked on the link; voila! there was an ongoing match between Real Madrid and Deportivo la Coruna. unfortunately by the the time i had found the website, AC Milan's match had long gone. at least, i had found alternative rather than sitting without nothing much to do every weekend. i just knew! whenever David plays an important role i have always been in the dark. yay! what a scary idea even for a 12 month old baby. this is a link to a good article from AFP. rather than post the whole chunk of it, i'd just put the good ones. here they go:

...Playing only his third match for Milan, Beckham wrapped things up on the hour mark with Milan's fourth, a rocket that beat Francesco Antonioli at his near post...

"I feel very good here. I arrived in a team that wanted me for years and I play for exceptional fans," said the former England captain.

"I'll stay here until March and then we'll see. Right now I'm focussed only on my football."

...he has been an instant hit in Milan for his industrious play on the right side of a three-man midfield and now the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player seems to be considering a longer stay in the Italian financial capital...

...On Sunday, he struck from about 15 yards out to the right of goal to net his first successful strike for Milan...

"It was a truly special goal, just as it is special for me to be playing here," he told RAI TV...

"The important thing was to win so now we are even more confident ahead of Wednesday's game (against Genoa)."...

Milan have been a more balanced and effective outfit since Beckham joined, something they had lost since Gennaro Gattuso was injured...

Coach Carlo Ancelotti is keen to keep him at the club but admits that it is out of his hands.

"It's up to him what happens. Our hands are tied because he is locked into a very precise contract," said Ancelotti...

"But as long as we have him at our disposal I see no reason not to take advantage of that because he's giving us a lot."...
