Fans disgusted by McClaren's dropping Becks

Some fans have spoken:

'If the plan is to drop him from the England set up then at least give him the respect of a final match send off. Have a word with him and persuade him to announce his international retirement before this final game. It's a friendly against Greece at Old Trafford - anyone who is calling for Beckham's head should recall the game that he won single-handedly and dragged us to the World Cup in Japan.'

'And as for the people who think Beckham had a rubbish WC, he set up two goals, scored the winner in another, and was substituted with an injury in a game that any midfield replacement wasn't able to win for us. Oh, and we went out on penalties without his deadball experience. I'm no Man U or Real fan, but people really give this bloke far too much grief for having a daft bint for a wife and an obsession with his haircut.'

'As much as I'd love to see the new boss change a few things, I'm certainly hoping he's made the decision to omit Becks from the squad on some sensible footballing grounds rather than as some kind of affront to Sven and all things Svennish.'

In retrospect, I think I should've given Becks a little more credit. I was just really disappointed by the fact that England was sent home packing after the quarter-finals by Portugal. And I expected quite a lot from him, given it was my first time to see England, specifically Becks, play.
