Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

David Beckham sulking for not getting a knighthood...and not for the first time. The OBE he's already got is more than enough. Him and his wife are so egocentric they would do almost anything for media attention and honours.

Why do you say that he's sulking, Phil? All I've seen is an Instagram post congratulating Queenie.

It seems he was very upset in 2014 and used some very rude words to describe the honours committee, virtually assuming that he was guaranteed one. He was previously thought to be part of a tax avoidance scheme which has now been sorted out and people thought he would get fast-tracked.

I don't reckon his football career alone is worth the honour although he has done a bit for UNICEF. Given that a lot of people on this site have given a lot for the sport they love and raised a good amount of sponsorship monies in the process, why do the Beckhams think they are more important than the rest of us?

Prince Charles referring to the Queen as "Mummy", as if he's some cute pre-schooler.

The bar to an honour if you are a "celebrity" is far far lower than it is for the plebs Surrey Phil.
