The Beatles were overrated

Beckham might inspire a British invasion

The Beatles were overrated. There, I said it. I don’t care. The White album sucked. Sgt. Pepper should have been dishonorably discharged. I hate them…yeah, yeah, yeah. But that is beside the point of the ever-smiling Allen Hopkins (Did this dude just win the lottery? Sheesh tone down the happiness fireworks.) in the column that is linked above.

He writes:

David Beckham's arrival this summer still could provide the spark for a full-fledged 21st century "British Invasion." Reports continue to surface linking two former England internationals to MLS, Liverpool's Robbie Fowler linked to the New England Revs and Teddy Sheringham to New York Red Bull. Now there could be a third. Taking in the second Superclasico of the season May 21 in Carson, Calif. between the Galaxy and Chivas USA was former Liverpool and current Wigan striker Emile Heskey.

Apart from the fact that there were four guys, not three, that started the first “British Invasion,” can we really compare 41-year-old Teddy Sherringham, 32-year-old Robbie Fowler and 29-year-old Emile Heskey to English’s mop-topped foursome? And more importantly, is Teddy bringing his racist girlfriend?


Fowler and Heskey might be fun to watch for a season. Of course, Fowler could start dating Lindsay Lohan. It would be a line-snorting media bonanza. Teddy, however, should hang up the cleats and start his coaching career in MLS. Oh, and he should bring his racist girlfriend. (see picture).
