In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I want him to get knighted before retiring, commentators going "Sir Alex issuing some instructions to Sir Ryan..."
Bit of a late bloomer isn't he.
From Michael Owens twitter, the man speaks sense
unlikely to get knighted now though...
I was all ready to make Park my MOTM but Giggs just seemed to get stronger in the latter stages - even getting a bit arsey with the ref and putting his foot in - he was not gonna let that lead slip
a real captain's role whether he wore the armband or not - a close call but Giggsy just nicked it for me
With all the shit surrounding his name at the moment.... do you think it will hinder his chances of being knighted? Well he won't be knighted anytime soon that's for damn sure though right?
If John Terry scored a hat trick and helped England win the World Cup, would he get knighted?
Can't say I ever thought he'd really get knighted. But it was a good way to screw with the scousers. I bet they're reading the Sun and NOTW with great relish as they conduct a witch hunt against Giggs.
Horny old Sir Ryan ran forth from Carrington
he was not afraid to cheat, o brave Sir Ryan
he was not at all afraid to have sex in nasty ways

SAF got knighted for winning the treble. Surely the most successful footballer in Britain deserves a nod, no? IF he does get it, it won't be until he's remarried and 50 years old and all this shit has blown over.
I'm disappointed in him as a person but he's still a good footballer and its what I liked about him in the first place. This is not me being cold and calculated about the hurt his family has suffered. Its just me being realistic and besides, it is a personal matter that should be deal with by him and his family and not the public.
The 11th commandment.......Thou shalt not speak degradingly of the chosen one for it is blasphemy
When I saw this thread with 173 pages I assumed he'd been announced to get knighted. 
The royal family hasn't looked too highly on adultery over the years. How could the queen possibly knight him now?
I'm employing the lowest form of wit, obviously.

The royal family only seem to commit adultery with hideous looking women so I guess that makes it ok. If you are boning seriously hot birds though then thats definitely not ok in their eyes probably!!
Mick Jagger and Robert Mugabe have both been knighted. In a few years, it will all be a minor footnote on Giggs wikipedia page. John Terry is England Captain again right now. This will be pretty much forgotten by the wider public once the next cheating football scandal arises.
I seriously don't understand people asking whether he'll be knighted, even before all those alleged affair bollocks happened. He will be a United and football legend who's won everything at club level, that is what he will bring with him when he retires.
Amen
Sounds wrong I know but I couldn't care less what he's done, to me he's a legend and always will be. I don't know him personally let alone his brother and the rest of his family, only know him as the United footballer, so its none of my business IMO.
Some people in this country are way too obsessed with celebrities and their lives, should focus on enjoying their own. Fair enough you'll find the initial revelation intriguing but don't go on and on about it like they are on TV and in papers. You see other celebs or gossip expert people getting all steamed up about it like its their rite, get a grip. Although if/when Terry slips up again, do admit I will be laughing my bollocks off.

Right now, I am sooo glad I am not him. I am sure Liz wouldn't be keen to Knight him, but I bet her sons think he is their kind of guy.
He has dipped his sword in too many places to be knighted it would seem.....
i bet he probably doesn't a monkeys about a stupid feckin knighthood

Guess this one has well and truly flown the nest
I bet he would probably of seen it as a huge honour
if Jagger can be knighted, Giggs certainly can.
Rooney must be loving all the attention taken away from him for a while!
Of course he would have!
So I've been checking out the latest jokes (or maybe last month's, I'm terrible at keeping up) and apparently all he needs is an image change and a new catchphrase to regain his legend status.
Who honestly cares if he gets knighted or not? It's all a little bit scouse.
i think thats the least of his worries right now dont you?
The usual murmurings about Giggs being on his last legs, being too old to rely on, inevitably he wouldn't be able to reach the same peaks as he had in the last couple of years at 38 (because somehow that's a huge difference to 37) all cropped up in the summer, with the added doubts about him surrounding his personal life...he's looking as much of a threat as ever.
Giggsy doing what he does best, proving his doubters wrong again and again.

I think if we use Giggs correctly, he could play on for another 2 maybe more seasons. He's been outstanding. You have to hold your hands up, he's reinvented himself but at the same time he's still capable from outwide..his goal was typical Giggs
Spot on. I saw so many of those comments over the summer. Assuming he was going to be a bit-part player, was clearly not going to be as good as last season, implying that those including him in our thinking were sentimental, etc. When will they learn? It's literally been the same every season for the last decade.

The reaction to that thread doesn't surprise me - he's been so good the last 2 seasons he's convinced even the sceptics that he more than deserves to have his age overlooked.
I thought there'd been less of the 'usual murmurings' this summer actually, despite the added factor of the private life revelations. I'm just glad that they've had absolutely no effect - been brilliantly handled by him and the club because the fall out could have been a lot worse.
ripped them apart for that 3rd goal today.
By the way, did Giggs get a lot of grief tonight? He's celebration certainly suggested he did, but I couldn't here any of it at the pub. (This might've been covered elsewhere.)
