Today's football.

[Elong]

Giggs has individually won more leagues than all but two english clubs have in their entire history. That's some achievment.

Fantastic player, surely remembered up there with the Charlton's, Best's, Ball's etc of British Football?

 

[Allezfan]

Wish Giggs had decided to play for England instead of Wales

we'd have won France 98 at a canter

Was never eligable for england, mate. Could have played for sierra leone, though.

Top ten to ever play in england, I would say.

I thought he was eligible due having an English granny?

He's a genius. Also a right dick, like.

I can't find myself cheering for them because they're just as bunch of classless tossers as liverpool or arsenal or chelsea.

But you know honestly everton are just about the only team in the world I can stand so I probably wouldn't cheer on whoever won it. Better Utd than our neighbours at least.

I like that he's a dick mate. I hate good losers. He doesn't care about anything other than his club and winning.

The only caveat to that is cheating isn't winning to me and they've had a few snides.

I don't cheer anyone except Everton and I haven't got a second club or any of that crap but I can't help but look at them and see what the force of will & genius of (mostly) one man can achieve and wish for that for us.

Best winger that's ever played here. Was utterly devastating when he came onto the scene and for a good 8-10 years after that. Good enough to move inside too. Not many you can say that about.

Nah. He played for england schoolboys but that's just because he went to an english school.

He was born in wales and has 3 welsh grandparents and one from sierra leone, never could have played for england.

FA Cup vs Arsenal, 50 yard run and finish, running around whirling his shirt like an idiot to celebrate (you would though after a goal like that), the defining memory of his ability. And like you say, even today he's good enough, look at the composure for RVP's first goal today.

And we ended up with Phil Neville at the same age ffs.

Would have played more competitive football playing for Sierra Leone probably!

 

[Bungle]

The love in here for untied is quite nauseating

He's quite right, this really isn't the thread for it, we need a dedicated thread.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Forza Ferguson!

I know mate. No matter what they've won they'll never have the memory of sitting in the paddock and ducking every time nev sprays it wide.

Good times!

I sometimes wonder at my Dad. I was 7, surrounded by Man Utd mates, it was 1992 and they were starting to get boss at football again and we were starting to be totally crap. Starting to get a grasp of what it means to support a football team, the old man throws an Everton shirt on me and tells me "this is your team son, and that's that". It's basically child abuse.

Shame he never got to play in a World Cup

Wales got close in '94 though

Closer than we did anyway

That ebing said, if Wales had qualified, we wouldn't have got Romania Vs Argentina which may be the best football match I've ever seen

 

[sbbefc]

I'm going to sound deluded but I don't like anyone winning titles other than Everton.

As people have pointed out its hard not to respect Ferguson for what he's done but still it doesn't sit right with me.

20ish years ago we had 9 titles and they had 7, such a shame we're not competing any more.
