ANGRY David Beckham yesterday blew a gasket over coverage of his ?affairs? with Rebecca Loos and Sarah Marbeck.
Speaking at the England squad?s training camp in Sardinia, Beckham said: ?I?ve been called a bad father, I?ve been called a bad husband and my wife has been called a bad mother.
?Things always hurt that are said about my family, and for people to call my wife a bad mother is unbelievable.
?I?m a strong person, I?m a strong family man, I?m a strong husband and a strong father.?
The England captain at first asked for some papers and TV stations to be BANNED from a press conference he was giving ahead of next month?s Euro 2004.
But Beckham finally relented.
He then later told reporters: ?The way I and my family have been treated is an absolute disgrace because at the end of the day I?m a nice person and loving husband and father.?
Becks, 29, was linked to personal assistant Rebecca, 26, last month. Then call girl Sarah 29, said they also had a fling.
But PR guru Max Clifford last night criticised Becks for his amazing attack.
He said: ?The advice I would have given to David is don?t attack the messenger if you don?t like the message.
?You cannot use the media, and then be petulant and childish when they say something you are not happy with. No one has total control of the media.
?Even if you are David Beckham it doesn?t mean you have got the right to determine everything that goes in.
?It is a bad move for David Beckham to act like this, particularly as England captain.?
The star?s outburst comes days after confirming he WILL be staying at Real Madrid.
Victoria, 30, and sons Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, one, are moving to a new home in the Spanish capital. Brooklyn will also be attending school there.
Becks was adamant he was pleased with his first year in Madrid.
Asked if he is at his best when happy in his life, he replied: ?I have enjoyed this season, whatever has gone on and whatever rumours there were about me moving back to England.
Those rumours were never started by me. I was always happy at Real and wanted to stay.
?From the first game onwards I had to prove to people in Spain I could play football as well as sell shirts. I feel I?ve done that.?
And he added: ?The things that have always been said about me have never affected my football. That?s the way it will always be.?
The comments follow his outburst in his last game with Real ? when he called a referee?s assistant ?son of a whore?.
Becks added: ?People have said the red mist is back but these things happen. Sometimes you?re just frustrated and tense.
?I didn?t realise what I said was that bad! I?d heard a few of the players say that to the referee just before I did. Maybe it just came across more aggressively.?

Fashion flops
BECKS also flipped in the fashion stakes yesterday by wearing white socks with flip-flops, writes Sun fashion writer Toni Jones.
Until recently he could do no wrong when it came to style, but he?s really put his foot in it this time.
The flip-flop faux pas is more David Bellamy than David Beckham.
Pull your polyester socks up Becks, and lose the frumpy footwear.

I told Posh to stop singing
SIMON COWELL has told VICTORIA BECKHAM to pack in her pop career ? with all his usual diplomacy.
Pop Idol?s Mr Nasty was so determined to deliver his brutal verdict he even took the former SPICE GIRL out for lunch in Los Angeles recently to do the deed.
Well, I guess someone had to ? let?s face it, it was never going to be hubby DAVID.
I met up with Simon in his new palatial Los Angeles home, where he told me: ?I saw Victoria when she was out here a while ago. I told her I thought she should concentrate on what she is good at and quit the pop.
?I doubt whether her music career will ever get off the ground again, unless she finds an absolutely brilliant song.? But savage Simon isn?t writing Mrs Beckham off altogether.
He said: ?If you ask me, her best asset is her eye for style.
?Fashion is definitely what she should be concentrating her energies on. I told her my advice would be to launch her own clothing range.?
Simon also believes Victoria has an on-screen future ahead of her and is keen to sign her up for a joint TV project. He said: ?I know we would work really well together and she comes across very well on television.
?That?s when you get to see the real Victoria Beckham.?
Posh fans will be pleased to learn she obviously got her own back by having a pop at Simon?s dodgy high-waisted trousers.
He told me: ?You can rest assured when I discussed it with her, one of the first things she pointed out was my own lack of fashion sense.
?I guess I can learn a lot from Victoria as well.?
As we chatted, Simon showed me round his lavish Hollywood home.
It?s an incredible place.
He?s got a Bentley parked outside and there were servants on hand to bring us drinks.
It is an impressive reminder of how successful Simon has become since he became a huge star on the US version of Pop Idol, American Idol.
He earns ?8million a series. The final of the third is set to attract 45million viewers.
It has made him one of the most famous faces in America but he is not sure if he?ll do any more and has pulled out of another UK Pop Idol.
Simon said: ?I worry there isn?t enough fresh talent at the moment for it to work.
?We need to wait for a bit to let a new generation come forward. Where is the new MADONNA, BRITNEY SPEARS, BROS or TAKE THAT going to come from??
Instead, Simon is looking forward to his new UK project ? The X Factor, ITV?s new ?10million talent search for wannabes of all ages.
He said: ?I think the whole thing will be exhausting.
?There are so many more people involved than in Pop Idol and as judges, we?re really putting ourselves on the line.?
What for? A jolly good slapping perhaps . . . ?
You can watch the final of American Idol on Friday night at 8.30pm on ITV2.

POSH'S COVER STORY
She's not front page news for top mag
Poor Victoria Beckham. Her obsession with making "brand Beckham" a worldwide force has once again left her with a huge splattering of egg on her face.
The former Spice Girl is said to be upset after failing to make the front cover of prestigious US magazine Vanity Fair.
Bosses of the celebrity style bible ruled her out of having any role in husband David's appearance on the cover of its July issue. And the singer is said to be far from happy.
The New York-based magazine executives see England captain and Real Madrid midfielder Becks, 29, as a sporting icon.
So, despite his alleged fling with former PA Rebecca Loos, they dispatched veteran photographer Annie Leibovitz - famed for her portraits of some of the biggest showbiz names - to Madrid for the shoot. But sadly for Victoria, her services were not required.
"David Beckham may not be a household name in the States but he still has plenty of pulling power with the fashion set," a magazine source tells us.
"He was voted one of Vanity Fair's best dressed men in a poll last year. But Victoria doesn't carry the same weight."
A joint appearance on the cover would have done wonders for Posh's bid to make the couple household names in America.
But while British-based magazines are falling over themselves to get their hands on the pair, in America it's a different story.
Last year, she and David attended the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles and presented a gong as part of their bid to raise their profile.
But most of their much-hyped appearance ended up on the cutting-room floor rather than on US screens, with an MTV exec saying that they were insufficiently known to warrant anything more than a "fleeting glimpse".
The mum-of-two also spent several weeks in New York with hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, attempting to reinvent herself as a "hip-pop" star. But that, too, failed to reignite her music career... so much so she is now set to release her forthcoming single on the internet.
"Of course, she's chuffed that David is going to be on the cover but, as far as she's concerned, the Spice Girls were huge in the States so she can't understand why Vanity Fair only wanted him," says a source.
"It would have generated the type of publicity over there that money can't buy.
"Unless Victoria quickly manages to do something pretty big, her dreams for this international 'brand Beckham' thing will fade away."

Posh's terror over ranting petrol nut
Arson attack scare ... Posh and Becks
TREMBLING Victoria Beckham was left fearing for her life when an intruder was grabbed as he ?ranted and raved? about her husband David outside their mansion.
Posh, 30, was in Beckingham Palace just with little sons Brooklyn and Romeo as the raider got set to torch the house.
The 38-year-old intruder, who has a history of mental illness, was carrying petrol and is also thought to have had a crowbar and chisel.
He had some weird notes on him ? and white powder believed to be a controlled drug.
He was intercepted by security guards after scaling the Hertfordshire spread?s 7ft perimeter wall on Sunday night.
Targeted ... Beckingham Palace, where Posh was watching TV with only her little sons in the house
Football idol Beckham, 29, was not there at the time. The England skipper was in Spain preparing to report for pre-season training with his Real Madrid team-mates. A source close to the Beckhams said:
Victoria is shaken up. She only had the children with her when the man broke into the grounds.
He was ranting and raving about David. He wasn?t really making any sense but the terrifying thing was that he had petrol with him.
Neither Victoria nor David can bear to think what he was planning to do with it.
It looks as if he was deliberately targeting the property for whatever reason.
Alert ... how CCTV may have seen raider
He knew exactly where he was and where he was going. He had intent to cause some kind of damage.
Ex-Spice Girl Victoria, who was watching TV after returning from her French holiday with Becks, fled the ?5million mansion in Sawbridgeworth following the drama.
She took Brooklyn, five, and 22-month-old Romeo to the home of her parents Tony and Jackie in nearby Cheshunt.
The source said: ?Nothing matters more to her than the safety of her family. It is very spooky for her to think someone managed to get past the gates and into the grounds.
?Victoria and David are constantly fearful for their security because they have so much attention focused on them.?
Arson kit ... maniac was caught with a petrol can
The unnamed intruder lives just two miles from Beckingham Palace. It is thought he triggered a sophisticated alarm system after scrambling over the 24-acre estate?s wall.
He was tracked by a network of CCTV cameras that feed into a control centre manned by a security team. And five guards pounced on him as he neared the house.
Police were alerted. They sent a helicopter and patrol cars within minutes.
The man was arrested and taken away for questioning. He was later released on police bail pending further inquiries.
The white powder in his possession has been sent for forensic tests.
Tools ... nut had a crowbar
The Beckhams spent a fortune fortifying the mansion after an alleged bid to kidnap Victoria and her sons was foiled in November 2002.
Five men were charged by police. But a judge later threw out the case after ruling that a witness who had a conviction for dishonesty was ?unreliable?.

POSH FLEES TO FRANCE AFTER INTRUDER INCIDENT
Victoria Beckham spent an incredible $45,000 to fly to France Tuesday -- just a day after an armed intruder broke into her English mansion.
The former Spice Girl -- who is married to soccer ace David Beckham -- chartered a private jet to an industrial estate near Cannes, in the south of France, taking her two sons, dad Tony and a group of friends with her.
While there, Victoria bought some soft furnishings and a brochure, before flying to her family villa nearby and then back to London's Stansted Airport early Tuesday night.
A source says, "Victoria's always had a canny eye for bargains but this was a bit of an expensive way to do the shopping.
"Luckily for her, there was a sale on, but even by her standards, this was a long and pricey way to go to buy some sofas."
