    Sorry mate but you know exactly what he's been up to and it's disgusting.

    Pull the biased manutd blind fold off from over your eyes for a minute and stand back and review the situation. Yes, a truely a great footballer and there will never be another one like him, his caps, his trophys, his consistency, but i'm not going to be a fan who pretends he's not what he is. He is not worthy of being called a Knight and he will not be made a Sir. It's just ridiculous.

    Ryan Giggs will be remembered as a truely amazing footballer but he will not be remembered as a good man.

    I put my morale's above anything else. Isn't that why we're all criticing King Kenny, because he is clearly doing the exact opposite.

    Nailed it. A good unbiased view. I only wish his extra marital affairs never came to the spotlight.

    Spot on RichardsReds.

    I'll always love Giggs. Growing up in the 90's and being a left footed United supporter, it's like an unwritten rule that he has to be your favourite player. Every weekend I'd wear the number 11 shirt even though I was a centre forward such was my admiration for the man.

    But his credibility is tattered, shredded, ruined. I can't laugh at Liverpool's idiocy and from the same seat that I'd laud Ryan despite his debauch, seedy second life.

    A title of 'Sir' in my eyes did seem impending until the secrets became public.

    Unfortunately it is probably only that, that will ensure he never becomes knighted. In terms of football, and sporting endeavor - he is about as high class a legend as you can get. Unfortunately his personal conduct has been less than exemplary.

    I'm a little concerned he's signed on again. Because while he can still hit the heights, a dazzling run here - thunderbolt strike there, he is beginning to lose his edge, and I don't want him to become one of those players who holds on too long. Maybe he'll be fine next season - but I'm concerned he won't be.

    He wouldn't be the first to get a knighthood with a less than clean private life. Awards are given out for their service to their own particular career. Giggs is a footballer and I'm sure he only cares how he is remembered as a footballer.

    His services to sport far outweigh whatever he's done in his private life, and that's all he will get rewarded on.

    I suppose that's true to an extent. He was immense in the game against Chelsea and Arsenal. He gets one off game occasionally. But, I'm happy he has signed, since he can cross the ball better than all of our other wingers combined, bar Valencia.

    Ladies and Gents football fans are fickle come on lets just admit it...I'm trying to be less so though these days but it is difficult we are just too passionate.

    Yeah Giggsy had an average game against the dirties but he delivers more often than not, weigh that up agaisnt Luis Nani who has been frustating on the whole this season but I know who i'd rather have crossing a ball or cutting a defence with another slide rule pass.

    glad the lad has signed up for another year and hope SAF convinces the Ginger Prince to do the same :)

    On the eve of his 900th Manchester United appearance, Ryan Giggs has revealed that a meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson dissuaded him from retiring at the end of last season following a stuttered start to the 2010/11 campaign.

    The veteran, who hopes to become the first and only Red to join the nine-ton club against Ajax on Thursday, says a hamstring injury coupled with his advancing years meant he considered calling it a day last term, but admits the lure of pulling on the red shirt maintained his desire to continue.

    "When to retire is difficult. Do you quit too early or go that one too many games and let people see you on the slide? It’s hard for me, even with my experience, not to play or be involved and last season was difficult before Christmas," the Welshman told The Telegraph during an exclusive interview.

    "I didn’t play many games, I had a hamstring injury and had a chat with the gaffer, saying I was frustrated, but he said I would get my games. I was thinking maybe it could be my last season, but towards the end, I didn’t want the season to stop."

    Giggs also expressed his immense pride towards reaching the 900-game landmark and explained why a move into central midfield has aided his longevity at Old Trafford. However, United’s leading appearance-maker admits the question of when to retire still plays on his mind.

    "Retirement is just a decision that I have to take my time with because I feel different after each game. After the 3-3 game at Chelsea recently, it was a really hard game, but I felt brilliant afterwards.

    "Yet there have been other games when I haven’t felt so good. After the game at Arsenal, I didn’t feel so great, so it’s swings and roundabouts. You can’t decide after one game. It’s just something I really need to think about and take my time over.

    "Moving into central midfield has definitely helped me. I had a taste of what it was like on the wing against Liverpool on Saturday and it’s just completely different – it’s a different game because you are up and down all the time.

    "When I played on the wing, I would feel absolutely knackered after games. I obviously come off tired after games now, but not as tired as I used to be when I was a winger. Not many players get to 900 games, so to play at United for that amount of time and games is something to be proud of."

    While Giggs has won almost everything in the game, one trophy that eludes him is the Europa League and, despite the obvious disappointment of this season’s early exit from the Champions League, the Welshman says he is desperate to add the competition to his vast medal collection.

    "There is definitely a sense that it would be great to win because it is something I have never won. It was disappointing to go out of the Champions League, you never want to go out, but we’re out of it and there is nothing we can do about it, so let’s go and win the Europa League now."

    The Sir in the thread title makes me cringe.

    Hasn't happened yet; very debatable it will.

    This has to be the quote of the century by SAF today talking about Michael Carrick he went on to say ......

    "He's not one of the guys who seeks publicity a lot. He's a quiet lad and goes about his life in a similar way to Ryan Giggs.........."

    Marvellous !!!

    Apart from his sloppy passing at times, Giggs has been great this season, not sure why a player who gets a last minute winner for us against Norwich and saved us two crucial points that could prove very important come end of the season is worth concerning yourself about signing on for next season which i dont think will be his last.

    He is in incredible shape and is much fitter than alot of players much younger than him.

    Why dont you concern yourself over Anderson's poor form when fit and his long list of injuries at such a young age or Nani's very poor form recently for such a talented player is not acceptable.
