Sir Ryan Giggs

How am I supposed to get into trouble for mentioning his name if I haven't been told who it is Im not supposed to be mentioning in the first place?

I or anyone could talk freely about it then claim we didn't know about the injunction, surely.

Yep, you can say what you like because you don't know and you are just guessing. I suppose the powers that be could confirm your guesswork by exercising the injunction! :D
 
He should be awarded Champions League's best player this season but we all know the best player award ceremony will be a Barca ********.

Well, I agree he's been truely amazing for his age, but you cannot take into consideration someone's age when awarding CL's best player award. And as magnificent as he is, there probably are players who performed better in this years CL, so you cannot ignore that fact and award Giggs CL's best player just because he's extraordinary for his age.

I'm not even thinking about his age but that makes it more amazing indeed. He's been our main guy the past CL matches and played a part in like 80% of our knockout round goals. Messi will probably win best player but Giggs is just as deserving I think.

It should not surprise anyone if Giggs wins it, he certainly is in the running for the award. It's really hard to tell [who should win it] because, like I suggested in my previous post, there probably are players who did just as well for their teams.

Like you say, the award will probably go to Messi anyway, but it's difficult to overlook his 11 goals in the competition. He virtually put Barcelona in the final yesterday, so he's been just as instrumental for Barcelona, as Giggs has been for us.

Ryan Giggs will probably always be my favorite footballer, and to me will be one of the best players to ever play this game. There are many players who have been better at certain points in their careers, but very few who have maintained a high level of play for so long. That makes him better than short-lived Brazilian sensations like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in my eyes, for example.

Ryan Giggs was in United's starting XI before I ever watched a football match, and in fact he is the first footballer I ever knew, his poster on my friend's wall in the UK when I was 5. Today I'm 22, and Giggs is still playing for Manchester United, a candidate to start in the biggest match of the season. Its been a great privilege to watch him all these years in a United shirt, a man who has every trait you would want in a Manchester United player.

By the time he's done Ryan Giggs will have had one of the most amazing club careers any footballer has ever had. The fact that he never featured in a World Cup, as a Brazilian (a country obsessed with the WC) journalist recently put it, is the World Cup's loss. The only other player I can think of that's had such a long impressive career is Paolo Maldini, who played for Milan even longer than our Giggs, and who I unfortunately didn't watch much of.

I was so fortunate to decide at age 5, influenced by my friend Alex, to support Manchester United. I only really started following them when my family moved back to Brazil, the 97/98 season being the first. In 2005 ESPN started showing the Premier League here, and don't think I've missed more than 10 United matches ever since.

Manchester United have taught me about football, the game I love, and they've taught me about sports, which I love as much as anything in my life. But most importantly, they've taught me about life itself, and I will always hold dear the values embodied by this club. And Ryan Giggs has embodied all those values during the time I've followed the club. That's why, as I said in the beginning, he will always be my favorite player.

Now knight the man for Christ's sake!

Can you get into legal trouble for printing speculation? Non of us know for sure, it's just word of mouth?
 
Unbelievable player, he can never get enough praise. He's glorious.
 
Like I said in the matchday thread, I don't normally cry for footballers but I think I'll cry when Giggs retires. Thankfully he'll be around atleast till 2030.
 
He should be more than Sir. Give him his knighthood and do it twice. What a player, what an athlete, what a legend.
 
In his best form ever? I'm too young to really remember his first 5-6 years at the club....
 
Immense. The ball was glued to his foot today. It's impossible to deal with.
 
If ever sainthoods were given out to footballers Giggs deserves one. Never mind Sir Giggs, Saint Giggs is more like it.
 
What a game.

I panicked there at the end when he went in on someone in a bit of a melee and got nothing. Thought he'd get sent off for a second.
 
He's the Edwards/Law/Charlton/Best of our generation (and the generation before that) and we're priveleged to have him.

In my eyes he'll always be a symbol for everything this club stands for.

He was majestic today, like Fergie said, everyone is running out of words to describe him, just a once in a lifetime player.
 
He's evolved himself into our Iniesta in the centre of the park. Think he's pretty much guaranteed to start against Barcelona
 
I think him getting MOTM was a little unfair on Park. Giggs was brilliant, of course, but Park did a lot of the dogsbody-work in the middle of the field for both Carrick and Giggs. i thought the Korean was the star today, for all the praise (and rightfully so) Giggs has got.
