Now that some of us at Soccer Blog have finally recovered from our New Year’s celebrations, it’s about time to start breaking our New Year’s resolutions.
My football-related resolution for 2008 is to stop giving David Beckham a hard time on this blog.
I gotta hand it to him, he doesn’t quit. He’s got a serious protestant-work-ethic thing going.
Here he is hanging out with the Bash Street Kids, er, Arsenal >>

Capello’s going to appoint him captain, says Beck’s ex teammate Roberto Carlos.
That’s not exactly what our candidate for change, as we like to call Capello here on Soccer Blog, should do perhaps, but Capello knows Beckham’s work ethic is sound (despite what Sir Alex says).
Happy New Year everybody!
PS- Anish is goofing off in Africa and Shourin is taking a well-deserved break, so you’ll have to put up with me for a while.
