how could i forget the way you treated me the other day. how could i brush off these dirts you put on me. how am i goin to live with all the blame you pointing at me. now youre gone, how am i supposed to continue my disjointed life. years after years made me believe your agonizing lies could put me through peacefully. terrorozing blue eyes kept me out in the cold of freezing night. what should have i done to make them better to even please you beyond believe. much have been done and i was totally over it, but you made me remember clearly at each one of the scene you gave to me. said they would help me think better and move faster than any other living creatures. they helped indeed. took no time for me to bolt as soon as i was dicovered. i dont feel the blame though coz i knew what it would become for faint heart like him. he had been even gone before i came about his shadow. running like headless chicken, believing whatever things he have in mind. his belief didnt help him any better than we could. no turning back and no backs turned against us, the rule says out loud.

since your departure, these patches didnt lose their grip on me and becoming stronger day by day. could i care less? or probably you would come over and help me put them off my shirt. pity to say you cant help me any longer though i knew i wouldnt miss seeing your cynical smile toward me everytime your off the bed. i did try but perhaps certain things didnt work out fine for me since you took hold on me in your filthy arms. confused to what took you so long to come across the room. its pity to see you helpless and lifeless, though i admit i kinda enjoying my time looking at you looked back at me without your cynical smile. i may not be able to walk out here alive, but i was already dead by the time you lay your eyes on me.



LB.....thx for the inspiration

STILL THERE....


starting my day today without much events wasnt a bad idea. ive been having these particular days without much hassle coz im a practical person. if someone makes my day, i just look up and say " God pls give me your guidance". if things dont happen in my way, its probably one of those days in life. all my life, up till now, still wondering why there are differences between us, human. some ppl dont take these differences lightly. banning ppl from other color is one of the actions taken by ppl who stamped freedom are restricted to those who can claim it. those ppl who are qualified to redeem the freedom will be, of course, sitting on high ranking above 'the others' who can only crawl to a certain level of hierarchy. but how exactly, different means literally. according to oxford dictionary, different means unusual, unlike, seperate. does this apply to our life? yes inedeed, how it cannot. we describe unusual event as different, although not in distinctive way. however, the word seperate from how we perceive the word different attracts me the most. some ppl tend to use the word 'different' to elaborate impossible way to reach the other end, or in another word unlikely. theres one person standing in the doorway waiting for an explanation from his/her partner regarding their ongoing relationship. this person could choose either to stay or to leave. when one chooses to stand firm, theres a 90% chance a song from jim brickman titled my valentine banging in our ears pathetically. i can imagine a hindustan movie with a couple rolling on the ground after the confession, but i dont want to visualize it now. then again, this person could also bolt, leaving his/her partner mouth gaped widely open.

how many ppl leave his/her partner breathlessly at the door and giving nothin but a lame reason as there are too many differences to cope with?. i dont know about you but from what i read in newspapers, magazines etc out of 10 celebs 8 would choose the above reason to file or seek permanent solution to their marriage hiccups. anyway, are those differences dispensable? not in million yrs. differences could be made out of nothin. used to like his bushy hair and after some tense moments, that bushy hair seems ugly and disgusting. what will be said in the document? bushy hair made the difference.

i realized, differences are there for us to notice and its up to each one of us to deal with it. i noticed one of my friends toes dont go along with her tiny feet but does that bother me in the first place? it could have. but i wasnt in the middle of civil war with her, so her toes looked fine to me. i cant imagine if somehow i managed to pick a fight with her over a banana or hair clips? i might have broken all of her toes and toss them into a dumpster. differences do matter when we are at the state of confrontation. when we are at ease, they vanish from our sight but never stop picking up a precious moment to catch our time of sickness. once this happened, a lot of ppl could suffer and probably lose their life. for example, a case that occured a long time ago. what happened in US when KKK handled laws into their own hands?. all blacks were at fault whenever a fight broke off between black men and white men and sent to prison for quite some time before being released, unless they die in prison even before the trial started then the soul could only be freed fairly. segregation made to benefit some ppl who think their freedom and joy have been revoked since the growing population of immigrants. these immigrants were being held to as many crimes as ones could think of and sometimes were 'boxed' in without a trial. cruel? unfair? improper? well it was the way things done some yrs ago. although i find it funny these 'differences' or i rather call it segregation still running wild in our life at present time.

a movie called for one night broadcasted in hallmark channel seemed a bit hideous title for a movie. it reminds me of a novel i am currently reading about sex crimes that haunt young teenagers or perhaps older women into their glittering traps. sex crime for another post, today is especially focused on this movie. saw the ad by chance almost caught me off guard. quickly grabbed my phone to jot down the premiere. it turned out to be a good movie to watch during weekdays. it could have been better if the producers were brave ebough to dig down a lil deeper about how this community in lousiana deal with the segregation each day, esp the african american. honestly, i havent heard bout two proms in my life. my first thought would be, day one being held at school and day two, doing it somewhere out the state. was it right? WRONG. two proms are for blacks and whites. two completely different venue but the same rank, seniors. these seniors, blacks and whites hang out everyday at school. it doesnt matter whether its homeworks time or just kick about in cafetaria for the sake of good time, they'd be doin it. but when it comes to prom theres only one answer, no unified proms. funny? i think its puzzling. according to the movie, they have been doin it for number of yrs and goin to keep it for yrs to come. its tradition and it will never be ended no matter what we say. im curious about when and who was behind the decision to have two seperate proms in the same year?. it might have been made several yrs back when john kennedy had been alive and hadnt thought of becoming president. it'd be best if they could alter the 'tradition' into more civic ways that fits our present customs. but who am i pressuring those ppl? nothin can be done because it will break their rights to usher tradition in their own ways. oh my, it was considered unlawful and now a tradition?. perhaps that explanation serves me better for now. who am i to judge?. i am no one but an outsider who happened to live outside lousiana and US. probably someday i'll get answers on my questions, or will they remain open until i closed my eyes?.

Beckham Rising

You just can't keep the man down. After a long absence from the Real Madrid squad David Beckham is rising once again. Don Fabio Capello has finally given in and included Becks in the list of players making the trip to Real Sociedad this Saturday. The Madrid coach is hoping that his presence will help spur the floundering team on to a much needed victory. Beckham has gone through some very difficult times in his career and has always managed to overcome. Love him or hate him, he has a resilience that always earns the respect of his teammates and always sees him rise above difficult challenges. Ever since Becks signed for LA, there have been a number of articles written about the man: some hailing him as the savior of US soccer, some saying he is not worth the money, and others saying that he is just flat out not a good player. I fall on the side of the fence that believes he is an excellent teammate, a damn hard worker and deserves to be respected as such.

Here is why: For starters, Fabio Capello is the General George Patton of coaches. He is extremely difficult to please and for Beckham to work hard enough to get back into the team, after all Capello has said about the MLS contract and going behind Madrid's back, is amazing. Don Fabio has taken the hard line stance against some players at Madrid in a mafia-like fashion. If you disrespect the family, you sleep with the fishes. Poor Antonio Cassano learned that the hard way after his petulance relegated him to the fringe, as did a certain Ronaldo who, as we all know, ended up in Milan. But Beckham, by being himself, which means showing up day after day to work and train and never back down, has thrown off the dunce cap and returned to the front of the class. Capello has recognized his mistake and apologized. And when Capello is forced to apologize, that, in and of itself, is a miracle.

Secondly, David Beckham's teammates have had his back from the start of this mess. At every press conference since the news about Beckham broke, Madrid's players, down to the man, have stood up for ol' Becks. Iker Casillas was very candid about his sadness saying he would lose a good friend and teammate. Salgado mentioned that Beckham should be in the team.

Finally, when one of the sacred cows of Madrid, Guti, said that Beckham should be free to help the squad, Capello had to listen. All the evidence points to Becks being not only a world class professional, but a world class teammate as well.

Thirdly, Real Madrid need his help. Capello likes wingers who are fast, take players on and press forward into the opponent's box. Beckham has none of these qualities. What he does have, however, is a level of experience about how to win important games, an uncanny ability to posses the ball and supply strikers with gilt-edged opportunities to score. Madrid has lost their last two (without scoring a goal) and their last four out of six and are in desperate need of a win. Reyes and Robinho look like shadows of their former selves and Ruud needs some service. In tactical terms, Don Fabio doesn't have many other options than Goldenballs himself.After being sent off in the 1998 World Cup, Beckham faced a nasty reception from fans back in England, but he persevered and ended up winning a treble with Man U in 1999. After falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson in 2003 he made the move to become the most marketable footballer on the planet at Real Madrid. After being dropped from the English National Team and losing his starting spot at Madrid he signed with L.A. to bring an unprecedented level of notoriety to the league. Now he has won his place back at Real Madrid. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit, there is just no keeping the man down.

i came across an article from goal.com by chance and hadnt thought that it would be THAT good. i know there are some reporters out there who would like to be rocognized as anti-beckham, but this is somethin. i dont know if this person is one of the reporters but he does have a point. beckham is not a regular player who any managers can put aside easily and be forgotten for ages. he stood up once in WC 06 and he has done it once more last week in sociedads match. at least, capello understands becks capability and hopefully, he will be played in important matches coz right now capello realizes who he can count on till the end of season.

Cannavaro trusts his team's chances for the upcoming month's crucial encountersThe Italian central defender hides behind nothing and no one, both inside and outside the pitch. He confesses that he's not at his best “on an individual level” and that the team is not playing well, but he puts all his chips behind the team's show of character for the tough matches they will play in the next four weeks. “We have to try to do well. If not, we're outtie,” underlined Cannavaro.

Fabio, you've got a complicated month lying ahead. Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, etc.

We will face top teams and we will get to see by the end of this month what form Real Madrid are in and if they're in the short list for the titles.

Do you feel capable of pulling through such a succession of tough matches?

It is true that we haven't played well in the last month, but we were also missing many players who were either injured or suspended. Slowly, they're coming back. Today, for example, Roberto Carlos trained with us. We are well aware that this month is decisive... the moment of truth. There are tough teams like Bayern who are beatable under a two-match tie format.

Would you like Capello to do with Cassano what he did with Beckham?

Let's hope, but it's the Club who decides these things. We would like Antonio to come back with the group. He trains all week and then goes home. You have to respect Club decisions in any event.

We have yet to see the best version of Cannavaro in Spain.

We shouldn't be alarmists. The season is not lost: we're five points behind the leader in the League. We know that there has to be a lot of improvement in relation to the last six months, both on an individual and on a collective level. This is where we're at and we have to try to do our best. If not, we're outtie!

What do you think about Samuel Etoo’o's reaction just yesterday, when he refused to play?

Those are Barcelona's problems.

Some newspapers have published that you could be part of the deal to sign Kaká for Real Madrid. Would you like to go back to Italy?

Not now. I'm doing fine here. These are Club decisions that we will talk through at the end of the season.

Is it proving hard to adapt to La Liga It's been a tough last six months.

After the World Cup, I have travelled a lot. A footballer does not only have to be physically fit, but he has to be mentally focused. Spanish football is different to all the rest.

Did you think so much was going to happen at Real Madrid in these six months?

That's football for you. Things can't always turn out right. I knew that Madrid had not won anything in three years and that the going was going to be tough. We're here to try new ways, but you can't win all the time. That's the way football works.

Were you happy when you learned that Beckham was on the teamsheet on Saturday?

Of course. We were all happy. We work together all week long. I don't like it when a teammate is excluded from the call-up. We're all here to do right by Real Madrid.

Do you think Capello is suffering with all the rumours about being fired?

I don't know. Normal people don't like that. But he's not your average man. He likes things to be different. Maybe he likes the heat surrounding the team right now. Someone with his experience knows that football is tied to the results. If you win, everything's better.

Do you think Ronaldo will succeed in Italy?

I hope he does. He's a footballer I really like. Let's hope he picks up his best form.

With Beckham back, it seems like Capello is not as serious and tough as he was ten years ago.

The Club sees a player who's doing everything right. He trains and works hard. We can all make mistakes. It's normal. It's good and normal to make amends.

What do you think of the problems in Italy with the tifosi

It's not good for Italian football after all the problems we had before the World Cup. There's social alarm after the dead policeman in Catania.

Your adversaries find it easy to create scoring opportunities.

It's hard when you're coming from behind on the scoreboard ten minutes into the game. The team has to work twice as much and orchestrate more chances while the rivals have one opportunity and they score.

(it's beckham in the best form ever)

DAVID BECKHAM has proved Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello wrong — but can he do the same at international level to Steve McClaren?

Having been dropped from McClaren's first England squad at the start of the season — and excluded ever since — Beckham's career appeared to hit an all-time low last month when he was told he would never play for Madrid again.

Capello had been angered by the ex-England skipper's decision to quit Spain in the summer to move to America with LA Galaxy.

But Real's form in La Liga dipped dramatically and, facing a third straight defeat, Capello handed Beckham a recall for the weekend game at Real Sociedad.

The iconic midfielder responded in the best way possible.

With his side a goal down, Beckham curled in a 37th-minute free-kick to equalise and inspire a comeback that saw Madrid run out eventual 2-1 winners.

According to the local media, it also saved Capello his job.

Now it is England boss McClaren who is feeling the heat.

Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Spain left the Three Lions without a win in four international matches and for the first time the under-fire coach appears to be contemplating a U-turn.

Asked whether he would consider using Beckham, McClaren said that he had never "closed the door" on the possibility of us seeing him in an England shirt again.

England face two crunch Euro 2008 qualifying ties in March, away against Israel and Andorra, and two victories are needed to boost our hopes — and keep McClaren in his job.

During a run of two draws and two defeats, England's midfield have struggled to find the right balance with Frank Lampard out of form on the international stage and Shaun Wright-Phillips and Scott Parker failing to impress on their outings.

There has also been a distinct lack of success or indeed imagination from free-kicks and corners in the absence of former dead-ball specialist Becks.

Beckham believes he still has a lot to offer his country and McClaren may now be forced to agree with him.

BECKS HAMMERING BACK

DAVID BECKHAM rammed Fabio Capello’s insults back down his throat — while saving Real Madrid’s Italian boss from the sack.

Former England skipper Becks, 31, scored a stunning free-kick after Capello had branded him a dead-ball flop and questioned his commitment during six games as a Bernabeu outcast.

But the midfield star’s wonder-strike inspired a 2-1 comeback at Real Sociedad on Saturday night to earn under-fire Capello a stay of execution.

And Capello accepted that he had to eat his words after Beckham’s brilliant performance and Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s winner kept him in a job — for the time being.

Capello said: “It’s true I said publicly that he hadn’t scored many goals from free-kicks.

“The goals he scores have to be important

and the one he scored was very important.

“I’ve already said that correcting mistakes is what someone intelligent does.

“Beckham deserved it and I don’t have to ask him for forgiveness.

“I’ve given thanks to all the players. I’ve never been afraid for my job during a match. I’ve always had confidence.”

Beckham’s third goal in seven La Liga starts means he has won his battle to be part of Real’s title and Champions League fight before joining LA Galaxy in the summer.

And Van Nistelrooy is delighted Becks is back.

The ex-Manchester United hitman beamed: “Beckham has been fantastic. His attitude is unquestionable and I’m happy for him.

“When you go a month without playing it’s not easy to come back at your maximum level but he always trains well and his attitude is positive. His goal was crucial.”

COURTESY OF THESUN.CO.UK

After the victory at Anoeta, the coach of Real Madrid appeared before the press in his customary post-match presser. He was proud of the football displayed by his squad. "I never lost faith in my players," said the Italian manager, who also congratulated David Beckham on his free kick, stating, "His goal was essential for us. He's played a great game."

“I spoke with Beckham twice last week and only we know what we said to each other. Regarding my comment about his free kick efficiency, I said that he had not scored many set piece goals up to this point. However, today he scored an essential goal for us.”

“I have always said the same thing in my press conferences. I will repeat it again. Beckham is an intelligent person and he has always displayed a commendable attitude.” “Over the last few weeks, he has trained well and today he played a great match. I like to look ahead to the future instead of back to the past.”

“There was still a lot of time left in the game when they scored. I never lost faith in the players. They reacted perfectly. I thanked them all after the game for their performance tonight.”
“Yesterday, they asked me how I felt and I said that I was calm because I know the work I am doing here.

That is why we're still there. Our chances are intact and now we're looking ahead to the upcoming Champions League game. We want to do well in both competitions. I don't really mind what other people think.”

“It was a good game. I really liked the spirit. We started giving away a goal to Real Sociedad, but I liked the team. Our rival was physically strong and they are also fighting to avoid relegation, so that complicated things during the match."

“I saw the play where the fans demanded the second yellow card for Cannavaro and it would have been unfair. Cannavaro stopped in front of the player and he did not foul him. He stayed put and never stuck his foot in, as they claimed.”

David Beckham earned the plaudits of his team mates, Fabio Capello and the Spanish media after he marked his return with a goal that helped Real Madrid to a 2-1 comeback victory at Real Sociedad on Saturday. Beckham, sidelined for a month by Capello following his announcement that he would join MLS side LA Galaxy at the end of the season, cancelled out Sociedad's early lead with a trademark free kick eight minutes before halftime.

Ruud van Nistelrooy secured the victory with a brave header, three minutes into the second half to give Real their first points in three games. "Beckham spares the life of his executioner," was Marca's verdict on the midfielder's goal, saying that Capello was in debt to the former England captain after his performance. "A gift from Beckham to Capello," was El Pais's description of the goal, while most papers were agreed that the victory had saved the former Juventus coach from dismissal. Capello, who said Beckham's professional attitude in training had persuaded him to reverse his decision to exclude him for the rest of the season, was delighted with his performance.

"You have to be happy when players score important goals and David's goal was very important," the Italian told a news conference after the game. "He played a great game and deserves the credit.""As I said before, the mark of an intelligent person is one who knows how to rectify his mistakes." Van Nistelrooy also heaped praise on his former Manchester United colleague. "Beckham has been fantastic, his attitude has been brilliant," said the Dutchman. "When you go for a month without playing it isn't easy to be at your best but he always trains hard and has a very positive attitude. That's why you can always bet on him. It was a great day for him."

Following on from comments with regards to England's struggles as an international side, Arsène Wenger has branded international football boring.

The comments came after Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson blamed Arsenal for England's failure to beat Spain and not having a successful World Cup campaign.

Wenger said: "National football is boring. Club football has moved forward and national football has gone backwards.

"I'm not the fault for England's frustrations.

"It's a vicious circle because your expectation level is very high and when England go to the World Cup, you expect England to win it.

"You cannot go overboard in February about a friendly against Spain who have a good team.
"England have good players — Dyer, Carrick, Rooney. You have to accept you can lose sometimes."

its totally ridiculous blaming other ppl just bcoz they dont have a good enough manager to handle national side. why this so called chairman of m'boro steve gibson (wondering why chairman of the club goes by the name steve gibson in rhyme with former manager m'boro ste-c) chirping about england failure in a wrong direction. probably its time for england to look at their own weaknesses rather than pointing at someone elses nose. what do you expect from a manager who only managed guiding his former club to UEFA cup final. its too much for a man such as ste-c. if youre not good enough, why would arsene wenger bother to look. i believe hes a manager with the ability to differenciate between personal judements and his work. he picked theo walcott, out of only God knows how many young talents out there, and hes english. so steve....mind your own club and perhaps it would be better if you could start a massive search around england to get another bobby robson, bobby charlton etc etc.

Capello, you owe him one" - Much gloating as Fabio Capello's nemesis David Beckham bails him out, scoring in the 2-1 win against Real Sociedad - a result that may have saved the Italian's job. (Marca)

this is a good headline from sports daily marca, claiming capello would have lost his job right before beck score and brought home a victory over real sociedad. ruudtje helped his team by scoring a winning goal and secured 3 points for real madrid.

Fabio Capello has prasied David Beckham after the midfielder scored on his return to Real Madrid’s starting line-up on Saturday night.

Beckham, 31, had been told he would never play for Capello’s side again after agreeing a summer move to MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy four weeks ago.

But the former England captain re-paid the faith shown in him by netting from a trade-mark free-kick in the 2-1 win over struggling Real Sociedad.

“I have always trusted my players”, all of them,” said Capello. "Beckham has not played for a long time, but he was very good [against Sociedad] and his goal was excellent.
“I have spoken with Beckham twice the last week about his lack of success [on the pitch] in the past.

“I said that he does not score enough goals, but today he scored a very important one."
Capello also hinted that although Beckham's inclusion in the side was largely down to the current midfield injury worries at the side, his performance could see him keep his spot in the future.
He added: “I like to think about the future and not about the past. Beckham is an intelligent person and one who has much merit and talent.

“These last weeks he has trained very well, and today he has did a great performance. That is very good for him and the team.”

a good response from the manager after his nasty decision to exclude beck from the squad for few matches. this is a challenge for david beckham to gain a steady position in the team, which im 100% sure he will be able to make the cut.

David Beckham marked his return to the Real Madrid starting line-up by scoring a trademark free kIck in a 2-1 away win against struggling Real Sociedad.

Beckham levelled for Madrid after Sociedad had taken an early lead, before Ruud Van Nistelrooy eased the pressure on coach Fabio Capello by securing the win with a second half header .
In the lead up to the game it had been reported in the Spanish Press that a defeat at the hands of Sociedad would cost Fabio Capello his job as Madrid coach. With this in mind, Capello could not have been impressed with the way his team started the game.
In only the seventh minute Madrid keeper Iker Casillas was caught in two minds when attempting to deal with a deep cross and could only manage to palm the ball straight into the path of Aranburu, who dispatched a simple header from inside the six yard box to give Sociedad an early lead.

The home side were dominating possession and looked threatening when going forward. In contrast Madrid looked disjointed and bereft of confidence.
It looked as though it would take something special from one of the Madrid stars to galvanise their fortunes, and in the 36th minute David Beckham did just that, scoring a trademark free-kick to justify his recall to the Madrid team. It had looked like Bravo might have managed to keep Beckham's effort out, but he was seemingly deceived as the ball travelled through a crowded box and into the corner of the net.

The second half began in similar fashion to the first, with another goalkeeping error leading to a goal. This time it was Sociedad's Bravo who failed to deal with a Guti cross, allowing Ruud Van Nistelrooy to steal in and nod into an unguarded net.

Sociedad picked up the tempo in an attempt to find an equaliser, and the game benefited from this change in approach, with both teams showing desire in abundance.
Although they had the momentum for much of the second half, Sociedad could not breach the Madrid defence, and Capello's men held on to earn three hard fought points from a game that will be remembered for Beckham's stunning return to the Madrid team.

it was a bad start from real madrid came in from behind, i think it has always been a great feeling to score after conceading; that could only mean one thing, passion and determination. it was the 'show' david beckham showed last night and what he earned was no less than respect from his teammates. being treated terribly didnt mean he could walk out from his team and tried nothin. hes always been different from any other players. WC 98 is the best example among all. half of his countrymen despised him and considered him as a joke, but it didnt stop him from claiming title with Man Utd. gladly, MU boss alex ferguson backed him up all the way as well as his teammates. nevertheless, it was a painful experience for him as a footballer and graced him a precious lesson from that moment on. since that date, beck turned into a different kind player fueled with passion for football in a greater level. it seemed his awful experience booted out from MU never stop haunting him as bad luck kept his eyes on becks. for 3 consecutive yrs real have failed to win major trophies both domestically and regionally. having 5 coaches in only 2 1/2 yrs made things even harder and heavier.

only starting for few matches this season doesnt stop becks to earn every minutes hes been given to make somethin special. his comebacks have always been phenomenal and regarded as the right moment for him to answer critics. frozen out by capello about a month ago meant everything to him. at the age 31 he wants to give his best for the fans and the team esp, when he'll be leaving bernabeu soon. however, capello thought otherwise and given him a 'punishment' not to be allowed to wear white shirt till his contract runs out which is this summer. however, mounting pressure on capello following worse defeat last week in santiago bernabeu pushed capello over the edge and made him back down on his own words. he let becks to start last night and it proved to be a good decision. becks took the free kick and leveled the game in 37 mins. and in the second half, ruudtje took the lead for real madrid and brought home a precious 3 points. it was an important win for real madrid as there were reports that fabio capello would have been a former real madrid manager if real had lost again. no one can verify the report but it wasnt necessary right now to discuss the managers future as real madrid need to concentrate even harder in the next matches. hopefully, they can gain more points in upcoming matches to get closer to la liga winter champions barcelona.

It’s pure Hollywood


The estranged superstar made a surprise return for Real Madrid - and inevitably stole the show
Ian Hawkey in Spain

So who does write his scripts? And where does this rank in the never-ending saga of David Beckham comebacks? Not quite like the 90th-minute howitzer against Greece, perhaps, but it was pretty sweet judging by his beatific smile after Real Madrid had reversed a 1-0 deficit against Real Sociedad last night with one man squarely, rightly and dramatically attracting a heavy proportion of the credit. You know who.

Act One: a month after being told by Madrid coach Fabio Capello he would never play for him again, Capello picks Beckham.

Act Two: a fortnight after Capello told everyone who cared to listen that the former free-kick genius was worth a mere “two or three” goals from dead balls across his entire Madrid career, Beckham scores with a set piece.

Acts Three and Four follow naturally: Beckham turns the match around. Capello owes him one. And this story has legs.

Next episode, Act Five: Saturday night at the Bernabeu, followed by Bayern Munich there three days later.


If the first surprise had been the Beckham recall, after his exile and punishment for having committed his future, as of June, to the USA, the second surprise had been a place in Madrid’s starting XI. Beckham effectively leapt not just from exile but from about 23rd in Capello’s hierarchy to rather near the top. Six days earlier, even a footballer who had not kicked a ball in competition for two and half years, one Oscar Minambres, had been preferred as cover for Beckham’s flank. Suddenly, Beckham moved from outsider straight in at outside right.
It could not have been because Capello took Beckham for a lucky omen. Beckham had started five league games this season, only one of which Madrid won. But Capello needed to review something. Following an aggressive display of frustration from fans at the Bernabeu the previous weekend, it was once again ultimatum time for a Madrid head coach, and Capello’s points of principle seem less fixed with each passing day. He is the martinet who vetoed the sale of Ronaldo in one transfer window and endorsed it in the next. He is the iron-willed governor who told his president to stake his mortgage on the solidity his favoured signing, midfielder Mahamadou Diarra, would give the team. Diarra began on the bench last night.
And Capello is the coach who argued that Beckham’s commitment to a future in LA meant that he could no longer give his best for Madrid. Well, the former England captain gave his all last night, even if Madrid started badly, conceding a sloppy early goal when keeper Iker Casillas palmed out a cross for Aranburu to head home from inside the six-yard box. Capello was staring crisis full in the face.


No trip to the Basque country by the club from the Spanish capital is ever serene and comfy, and there are members of this Madrid side who have capitulated here before. Beckham responded to the setback with urgency. Not all his passes were perfect, but he exuded gumption: here an encouragement for Sergio Ramos, there a quickly taken free kick from halfway, designed to shake off Madrid’s languor, surprise the opposition, but alas too urgent for some colleagues. Beckham had verve and looked like a man who had spent too long in the “cooler” at Camp Capello. The rest of Real played like Capello’s Madrid, ponderous, insecure.
Beckham’s goal, though, perked them all up. A clever piece of work it was, too, not an orthodox Beckham dipper over a leaping wall of defenders, but one that, from 30 yards, traced a lowish, flat trajectory and hummed to the ground in an awkward no man’s land just far enough in front of goalkeeper Bravo to keep him from advancing, just near enough to put him in two minds. The poor keeper got his hands nowhere near it. It was Beckham’s 11th direct free-kick goal for Madrid.


Not long into the second half, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the winner, and if any man is almost as pleased as Beckham to have Beckham back it will be the Dutchman, who misses the crosses and telepathy they enjoyed at Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy celebrated vividly after Beckham´s goal. “You can’t write him off,” beamed Van Nistelrooy. “He’s done this a couple of times before and now he’s proved himself again. Of course we are all pleased for him and we’re happy to have him back.”

whatta start from beckham, came in as starting XI and changed the course of yesterdays game against real sociedad....we can expect more from him in upcoming matches.....

IKER CASILLAS: “The game got off to a horrible start, but we pulled through and ended up winning by sweating it out. It's a very important victory.”“Their goal came after a very strange play. The ball did a strange twist. I tried to deflect it but with such bad luck that they headed it in.”“Losing would have been very, very bad for us. Let's hope we're lucky with tomorrow's results.”“This game was very special for Beckham. He wanted to prove himself and we're all delighted because it was good for him and for the team.”“We just want to keep on adding points to our scoreboard.”

VAN NISTELROOY: “It was an important game. We started losing and that made things incredibly hard on us, but the team showed true character.”“Beckham's goal was key in the comeback. I'm very happy for him because he's in the starting eleven and because he scored such an important goal.”“We always want to win for the good of the team, of our fans, and also for the coach.”“Winning is better. Losing is very tough.”

SERGIO RAMOS: “It was a complicated match. We're jumping from joy with the three points. Today, you can't reprehend the players about anything.”“We're happy for Capello because we trust him and we want him to continue his work here.”“We played an awesome match. Top level. We have to savour the win and keep on working hard.”

Beckham scores in Spanish league return


February 10, 2007



MADRID, Spain (AP) -- David Beckham scored on his trademark bending free kick in his first start since Dec. 20, helping Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-1 Saturday in the Spanish league.
The star midfielder, who is bound for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, tied the score in the 37th minute with a low shot from outside the penalty area that beat diving goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.


Beckham's goal at Anoeta stadium in San Sebastian may have saved Madrid coach Fabio Capello's job. The Italian coach, who had said that the former England captain would never again play for the Spanish power, reportedly would have been fired if his team had lost again.
Beckham received a yellow card in the 75th minute for a late challenge on Sociedad forward Savio Bortolini.

Beckham displeased Capello by announcing on Jan. 11 that he would leave for the Galaxy when his contract expires in June.
"I picked him because he has been good in training for three weeks," Capello said. "I'm pleased he scored with a free kick because he hasn't scored many this season. He played really well."
Ruud van Nistelrooy headed in Madrid's winning goal in the 48th minute when he beat Bravo to Miguel Torres' cross from the left. The victory ended a run of two straight defeats.
Sociedad took the lead in the eighth minute after a mistake by Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas allowed Mikel Aranburu to head the ball into the net.
In Saturday's late game, Sevilla drew 0-0 at crosstown rival Real Betis and climbed into a share of the league lead on points with FC Barcelona, which hosts Racing Santander on Sunday.
Defending champion Barcelona has 43 points, ahead of Sevilla on goal difference. Madrid rose to third place with 41 points.

TIME TO MOVE ON,

It's been a while since my last post *exclude the Q and A*, i'd been far from good mood i guess that's why my sist was the one who posted news about becks and all. i had a very2 relaxing and amaxing trip with my loved ones, it felt good just to see other ppl's world beside my own. the time was right when i needed something to channel my attention from my busy life. a friend of mine had pack her bags and return to the place where she belongs and i still haven't had the time to meet her. so sad, but mebbe it's meant to be we both weren't ready to see each other and i have changed so much till i feel i don't have to connect with my past anymore. so many nightmares and i don't think i could face those ppl anymore. mebbe reunion was never on my plans and will never be, they can label me whatever they want but i don't want to be hypocrite when the truth is i can never forget what actually happened before. every person has their own roles on making me feel terrible each and everyday so why should i face them now and pretend they never did anything wrong in my life. i'm not running away, i'm living my life the way i want to i hope in the future those ppl will consider me as non-existed it's better than keep talking about me but never try to search the truth from my camp. it's time to go forward it's sick when two people i used to consider *close* are now one of those ppl trying to please somebody's ass mebbe they're mixing with wrong crowd. i hope someday they'll realize that truth hurts but truth is the only way to happiness. i know someday they'll start to look and realize the good reliable friend is gone 10.00 miles ahead of them. it's my time to go forward without the as my burden from the past. everything had fallen apart long tim a go and i don't owe explanations to anyone also i don't need any explanations so stop haunting me with lies and deceits.

*you don't know what you got till it's gone*

i guess i've met a lot of ppl who are now leading different lives and different attitudes. people let me down so many times that's why i hv issues on truting other ppl. i don't want to push myself to forgive and forget coz i know it's damn hard and i keep moving on although the scars remain inside my heart. i can always say i've moved forward way too far since the last spot but to forgive and forget what they had done in the past remain my own secret. maybe God knows what's best for me and i will let God show me the right path. i don't want to say cruel things about other ppl coz by doing that i will be just like them who have crushed my life back then.

*i hope after this noone will ask me about my past anymore

it's a close case for me and i hope it will never be open

although not only miseries but there are also sweet memories back there*

i'm grateful for what i have right now, for being in the right family, for finding the missing pieces, and for being saved by God so many times. Thank you God! Thank you mommy and daddy, Thank you my siblings, and thank you my missing pieces. learning about life is really2 fun..i hope i can give more instead of taking. please stay with me God! and show me the right path, move, words, and choices.

*miss-c*can't wait till 10.55!!

beckham will be included in the squad facing real sociedad this weekend. however, we are still unsure whether capello will put him on his starting line up. its goin to be slow recover from beck coz hes been out from the squad nearly two months, thanks to capello silly decision in january, and in order to gain his usual form he needs to work extra hard and be involved in matches. hopefully, he'll be played for several minutes to get his physical form back together. capello was under fire in recent weeks following bad results in the last matches and becks issue didnt help his popularity to rise as more and more ppl stand up and speak up their desire to see beckham play for the last time since he'll be goin to MLS next summer. he can contribute much more than capello had thought and having him on the pitch giving opposing team a hard time to defend their goal. each one of the players gives an extra to the team and excluding them will only resulting to a dilemma.

Real Madrid directors pressure Capello to reinstate Beckham

tribalfooball.com - February 09, 2007

Real Madrid directors are pressing Fabio Capello to end David Beckham's exile. After calls from several players, including Raul, Ivan Helguera, Guti and Iker Casillas, to reinstate the England international, Real management have spoken with Capello and urged him to begin including Beckham in his first team plans again.

Beckham's behaviour in training has been exemplary and his attendance for all of Real's games has gone down well with supporters. Madrid fans are flooding the club's website with demands for the midfielder's return and the pressure is growing on Capello to back down.
The final word will be left with the Italian today, who will finalise his squad for this weekend's match against Real Sociedad.

its good to hear his teammates show countless support to david beckham even though he has only been there for 3 1/2 yrs. for that short period he has shown more than willing to give everything he has to help his club and teammates to win titles. its a pity not many ppl recognize his dedication and effort beyond financial reasons. hopefully, after what has happened in the past 2 months could change capellos point of view toward david beckham and begin to pick him as one of his squad this season.

DAVID BECKHAM BACK ON THE SQUAD!!




Fabio Capello has explained why he has decided to recall the previously exiled David Beckham to the Real Madrid squad for Saturday's match at Real Sociedad.

Capello said Beckham's continued professionalism had persuaded him to backtrack on his pledge that the midfielder would never again play for Real following his announcement that he would be joining LA Galaxy at the end of the season.

"We had doubts after he signed such an important contract with the American side," Capello told a news conference at Real's training base in Valdebebas.

"We doubted he could train with the same enthusiasm after that, but he has been training perfectly. He has always had the full support of his team mates. He has behaved like a great professional and is now returning to the squad.

"I'm counting on him until the end of the season."

Capello, whose position is under threat after back-to-back defeats in the league, said that the decision was his own and that he had not been pressured by either the players or the club's directors.

"It was down to Beckham's hard work and attitude. The intelligent thing to do is to correct things when mistakes are made.

I spoke with him a week ago and again today. We are very happy and he is too."

Club captain Raul, midfielder Guti and several other first team players had come out in support of Beckham in recent weeks saying he should continue playing until the end of his contract.

Beckham was embraced by several team mates including Raul after being given the news of his inclusion in the squad.

The 31-year-old midfielder said earlier this week he was desperate to play for Real again.

"It is very hard for me because I would like to help the team," he told sports daily Marca.

"I'm desperate to play again, I don't know if I will but I've got to keep on training. I want to leave this club on a high."

Spanish media have pointed to the fact that other players such as Barcelona's Javier Saviola and Valencia's Roberto Ayala, whose contracts also terminate at the end of the season, are still playing for their respective clubs.

Beckham's last appearance for Real was when he came on as a substitute in their 2-0 defeat at Deportivo Coruna on January 7 a few days before announcing he had signed a five-year deal with LA Galaxy worth $250 million.
