It's pretty damn funny that they had to ask Arsenal to bring over the trophies to promote their Beckham movie!

Of course, manUre should get used to not having those things around after this year.

Any ArseAmers who get up close and personal with the trophies, please send me an email and tell me about your experience. I'm putting together my column for the Arsenal Magazine and would love to include something on the trophies in America. Need it be Sunday night.

Thanks
