Ryan Giggs retires

[Shamikebab]

Indeed, a great servant to the club and I hope his non-playing career is as successful

So what 10 appearances are the BBC counting that that image doesnt I wonder (several times they have said 963 appearances today and since the end of the season)

If that image is a 'Happy Birthday' thing from November, then I suspect it's simply that he's notched up another 10 games since then.

Didnt think he had played that much this season but looks like you are right, thank you

Not sure what his retirement has to do with his personal life if that's the case.

This really.

 

[Robbo]

Hope he's as good an assistant manager as he was a player.

Legend really, one of the best players around yet consistently overlooked for England

He's just a poor man's Nick Barmby

Barton might be a clown, but when he had a pop at Giggs on twitter he was right on the money.

Criminal I would have said.....Barton that is

 

[Calm]

Barton's on Question Time next week!

I wouldn't say Giggs was a great player, but he was certainly a great servant to united. I doubt any amount of money will replace the likes of him and Scholes.

 

[dmcg]

so if giggs wasn't a good player would that make barton someone from the bargain bin then ?

 

[Calm]

Sounds apt! you could maybe lose 'bargain', it implies a degree of value.
