Beckham hits back at England critics

England skipper David Beckham has hit back at his critics following last week's win in Poland.

Beckham, who struck the winner for Real Madrid on Saturday against Numancia, said: "Sometimes I don't have good games - apparently I haven't had one for three years."

"I played really well against Ukraine and two weeks later I'm a has-been but that's the way it is - fair or not."

"I don't feel untouchable in Sven's plans," he added in the News of the World.

"He's the manager and if he thinks I'm not playing great football he's not going to listen to anyone else."

"If I'm taken out of the team I'll fight back because that's the type of person I am."

"I don't think I warrant being out of the team yet but we'll see."
