very true.
While we are on the subject(he says trying to provoke another debate) when will Giggsy become 'Sir'????
Well there's a bit of a queue in front of him on the grounds that....
a) He's Welsh
c) He's still relatively active
It seems to have gone to a lot of formula 1 drivers and boxers.........neither of which i think is much about sports.......and not much of a nice personality usually either.............yet in all those years no-one said that the award had been cheapened by given it to them........
this is a public vote...........anything can happen.........just because he wasn't your choice why have ago at him.its not very sportsman like
Not having a go at him, having a go at the number of unsportingly people who voted for him regardless of anything else. Nothing personal against any of them but believe they have shown and I'll say this again massive disrespect to all the people on the short list this year and there achievements and belittles Gigg's playing at the age of 36. He's still one of the best player's of his generation and a fantastic role modle because of what he has achieved for Man Utd and Wales, I hold Gigg's in very high regard. The sports person of the year has been hijacked before but never so blatantly.
Beckham Giggs
Premiership winner's medal Premiership winner's medal
Player of the year Player of the year
British sportsman of the year
Fifa European footballer of the year (4th place)
Uafa world footballer of the year (2nd place)
Captained England into the world cup finals.
Just looked on Man Utd web site and can't find the stats for the games played and goals scored so if your have them please correct me if I'm wrong but believe Beckham played most of the games of the 2000 - 2001 session that got Man Utd the title, while a large chunk of the games for the 2008 - 2009 session Gigg's has played from the bench or not played?
Like I said didn't vote for Beckham in 2001 because I thought there were other people that year who where more disserving of the award.
Joker the comment I made was that it could hurt Gigg's reputation with the idiots. You know the kind of cretins that slag off something just because the sun tell's them to.
We had a raffle at the kids nativity this morning. The most die hard Man U fan I know won a Liverpool FC sports bag!
And the tight b*stard wouldn't give it to Mr LB - and he needs a new bag...
75% Man U? Are you my neighbour JM? Where do you hail from originally?
Arsenal.
LB, maybe that die hard Man U fan wanted that Liverpool FC bag to pee in or give it
to some poor kid. It is Christmas after all.
A bit part player in a sport that success is achieved to a large extent by who has the most money... and a small bit part player of a team that only won a national title last year. Seems to have been awarded more as a long service recognition than any personal achievement in 2009.
So so so many more deserving candidates who have achieved success on the world stage that didn't even make the shortlist, nevermind those on it.
The defence rest's it's case ma Lord........
As a Man U supporter - I love it when supporters of no-mark clubs hate us.
It just makes us stronger.
And no, I'm not from Essex, I was born and bred 2 miles from Old Trafford.
Support Man U and Chelmsford City. Both great clubs. One at the top and the other at the bottom.
Read back the entire thread & you will see that I was using the quotes to back up what I perceive to be a lack complete lack intelligence & blinkered view behind the comments you made.
Obviously the irony is wasted on you,however my love, you keep hating us or what ever it is you lot do & we will keep laughing !!
Have the schools broken up already,????if not get & do your homework!
