Each individual footballer, just like the rest of us, must take responsibility for his own actions and morals. If people disapprove of the behaviour of Mr. Beckham, Mr. Rooney or anyone else, they need to stop buying Beckham or Rooney-branded merchandise, stop buying tablod newspapers and magazines with Rooney / Beckham stories, and stop watching football matches featuring Rooney or Beckham.

Money talks.

Seriously though, I cannot stand most of the England football team. Selfish, overpaid, overrated, underachieving… and thats just Sven! Most of them are spoilt, numbskulls and bad role models out of touch with reality. Rooney will almost certainly go off the rails and/or be bankrupt before he’s 40.

Theo Walcott seems to be a good lad, but I do worry about how mixing with the likes of the Beckhams, Wayne, Coleen, Sven, Nancy, Gerrard and Curran might warp his and his girlfriend’s morals and ethics.

I consider being a professional footballer to be one of the lowest professions in society along with ‘glamour’ modelling, being a Blairite and ‘pop’ singing.

I don’t believe in capital punishment Jo, although I might make expections with both Tony Blair and Helen Watters for the greater good of civilisation.
