[the truth]

the guy seems to have taken over the world, may as well give him the olympics too

thats the talk anyway he allegedly declined the offer after not being picked for the GB team, no doubt he thought it made him look gracious, now hes back on board again as one of the chosen few to carry the torch in the stadium

if he actually is the last one to light it, ahead of the endless olympic champions, then I will duly stick my foot through the tv set and disown the london olympics

i say get , redgrave, tanni gray (sod the paralympics make a statement and get her on this), sally sunnell, kelly holmes, daley thompson, duncan goodhew, jonathon edwards, lynn davies, mary peters, david broom, etc to name but a few

sorry lord beckham youve made hundreds of millions, youre doing all right without hogging the olympic flame too
