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.
That's not an explanation, KM. I saw the pics. Why? What? How? When? are the questions to which answers which needed.
Just wanted an excuse to post the pic.
Infract yourself for not spoilering it. It's fecking hideous. Play well or not, I lost all respect for him FOR well, that.
Legend. That's it.
Midlife crisis, then he found yoga and other stuff.
Relative shagging is not something to be nervous about. Kay Parker gave it her seal of approval decades ago. In years to come, Giggs will be revered by footballers for this, aside from his footballing ability of course.
May be so that no one recognized him when he try sneak into his brothers house?
Have you watched Collateral?
Needs piss testing.
This man really defies logic.
I honestly can't understand how a 39 year old can run like that all game! Easily our most energetic player out there today (along with Rafael). Still chasing lost causes like a teenager trying to break into the first team. Amazing.
The guys defies all footballing logic. Besides a few wayward passes he was superb. Just heard he had most touches in the game.
Not just physically but the hunger and desire to still be doing it after winning everything over the last 23 years. He doesn't show it in the same way as a Roy Keane but it's still obvious.
Maybe he will make a good manager one day.
I'll be surprised if he doesn't make a good manager. Him more than any of our other players.
Maldini, Tendulkar, Giggs
3 of a kind

He has the lot, you would think. Intelligence, vision (in terms of planning ahead, the way he has adapted his game to prolong his career) would earn instant respect, obsessed with winning and seems like the guy who could deal with modern day players. Put an arm around them when needed. Something Keane probably couldn't do.
Giggs will play his 1000th senior game next weekend ?
Don't forget Zanetti who' s 39 years old (40 years old in August) and has played something like 35 matches this season
Came in to this thread to say this, and saw Cevno's post - to elaborate:
Ryan Giggs has just played his 999th senior game of professional football - 931 for United, 64 for Wales, and I can only assume the other 4 are made up from Team Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics.

I wonder if Fergie will give him his 1000th against madrid? That would be a fitting occassion and you can almost guarantee he will have an absolute stormer against them.
I hope you are right about this.
love the way this thread swings from "he's finished" to "he's still amazing".
who said your average football fan is a kneejerk short term thinker.

Anyone watched the game on Spanish channel and heard the commentator's attempt at singing 'Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs flying down the wing...' just after his goal?
Had me in stitches

His previous goal at QPR(Before yesterday's)

That QPR goal is special. Even our own player falls over trying to keep up with Giggs.
Had a nice little tribute this morning on Sunday supplement. Henry Winter basically saying he's the greatest player of the modern era, how he is such a big influence on the rest of our players, still as driven as ever and along with Andy Dunn, believes he will become a good manager.
Told a story about how some local kids once got a day with Giggs and Fergie and after an hour or so it was Giggs they had to pull off the pitch, not the star struck kids. Such is his appetite for the game.

Just listened to this. Especially liked the observation that "He's the calm in the storm of matches these days. Matches are played at such pace, but you look at Giggs and he's thinking ahead of everyone else". Certainly true.
They also seemed to think he had a genuine chance of being United's next manager.
I'd actually take Giggs as our next manager - with a strong assistant. He is so intelligent and has a special aura.
Jeez, I forgot that was against QPR. And while Giggs was celebrating the goal yesterday, I was actually expecting him to do that finger twirl for some reason.
A deja-vu was going on in my head.
What. A. Player!
Exactly that. He's played quite a lot though this season. If we use him right, he looks in great shape
Always nice to see giggs get on the scoresheet. Had to laugh with that chip shoot. Totally thought he fluffed the shot at first only for the ball to drop and hit the bar and realise it was a chip.
I wonder if his 1000th game will be against Norwich or Real Madrid.
Fair play to Giggs.
Was hugely criticised earlier in the season and has again proven critics wrong and shown he is very valuable to the squad. The man is a one off.

I refuse to believe that picture of Giggsy with the bleached blonde hair is real. It isn't. It's photoshopped.
It's definitely, definitely photoshopped! It is!

The goals against Spurs and QPR in that video - he's channeling Best there.
I'd love that to happen.
And whats more, given his special talent for breaking records he would go on to break Sir Alex's record as longest term as a EPL Manager
I don't like change, I'm 55 now, so Giggs as Manager for the next 30 years after Sir Alex would just do me
I have to say that his goal made me think of him coolly slotting it in against Wigan to secure the trophy for us in... 08, was it?
Also, I agree with the sentiment that you could just see how he was the most determined player on the pitch against QPR. The man wants his trophy back
