This was the time when having HAIR was okay... NOW if you do have hair it means you're disgusting and nasty. Now every dude shaves like a little girl.
900 not out....wow...the longest serving one club man in the history of british football...only 2 more to go to beat maldinis record and take the world record...to add to all time record 25 major trophies (+8 charity shields) oh 64 caps, 175 career goals, estimated 400 goal assists...never been sent off for man utd, never even involved in any contract disputes...
In short the single greatest and most successful player in british history..probably greatest european too...bravo
messi? c ronaldo? rivaldo? ronaldo? baggio? romario? van basten? zidane? henry? cantona?.....none of these are as legendary as ryan giggs!, this from a bolton fan!!
It may sound stupid, but Giggs is a better than Ronaldo or Messi will ever be. I mean, he's still taking on players at the age of 38, his cross and pass is much better than anything those two can do, he's got a great free kick, and he's not a cheating diver like they ALL are in the Liga BBVA. He's the record appearance making player at the best club in the hardest league in the world, and he's still our number one key player.
@BD97Owns I wouldn't say he is better than Messi or Ronaldo, but I would put him as the greatest Manchester United player ever. Ronaldo could have been but he left
@ElliotYAY It's the most popular sport in the world because unfortunately it's culturally ingrained in many countries and the majority of the world are misguided and aren't sufficiently exposed to incredible sports such as cricket and Aussie Rules Football! (Or football where I live). Football is a colloquialism so it might be football where you are, but it isn't here - thank goodness.
@Joemaddalena14 How dare you assume I'm American. I'm infact a proud Aussie, and no it's called soccer, football is Australian rules football - the best code of football in the world. I love cricket as it's exciting and something is always happening, unlike soccer!!!
@magnusak3 ur absolutely right barca r cheaters and actors.A team full of divers and see the tragical goals of barca and see the magical goals of man utd but still that bitch gets all the awards
@ukean lol, are you retarded? ronaldo is the most physically gifted player in recent memory, not just for his immense pace and balance, but also for his dynamism and willingness to run. ronaldo moves constantly, always working the channels, AND he does it at full pace.
lol. i really question your knowledge of football if you think ryan giggs has greater reserves of stamina than ronaldo. ignorant dip shit. :L
@mizofan no doubt about it, you're completely right on both counts. giggs is a far better professional than ronaldo, and i never doubted that. but honestly, if we're comparing them based on their abilities as players, then it's ronaldo >>>>>>>>>>> giggs.
@JEM4JS never as young as his teens, but i've seen him play in his early and mid twenties, for sure. even with that in mind, i stand by what i said - giggs was never the player that ronaldo currently is.
the defending was pretty terrible though. Not to take it away from Giggs, but all he done was run straight ahead and they left the space open for him. He didnt particularly do anything special.
12/13 years on, what the hell happened to the beautiful game? We had atmosphere then, proper grounds, exciting games in a cup that still meant something. Fuck your mcdonalds modern football, the fans have been sold out, its only about making money, 20k proper fans in a 90k stadium, we have been robbed, the game will collapse in on itself all in the name of greed.
Bad tactics cost Arsenal this match and the FA Cup.Arsenal's defence was too generous to Giggs for his goal plus Viera gifted him the chance.Nothing to do with any genius on Giggs' part,just capitalized on Arsenal's mistakes.Amen.man u/fa 1 6 City always gives me goosebumps.p.s Amen.
my dad took me to see this game when I was 7 completely by chance (we were going to be near birmingham at the time) and I remeber that goal...First proper football game i went to and it was an absolute belter.
I remember when this happened, my dad was sittin in tha toilet (no he is not the fat woman on youtube) and when he heard all the screaming, he came running with his panths down. LOL and he didn't even wipe. AHHH great memories!!!
I always regret the fact that no Arsenal defender made a telling tackle on Giggs,they gave him too much space.Had they tackled him,Giggs wouldn't have scored that goal.Bad defending cost Arsenal that FA Cup.Amen.
@mizofan I see it differently.Any defender worth their salt would have gobbled Giggs up and closed him down.There were 3 defenders one of them could have confronted him while the others could have provided cover.Amen.
@DjFanta9 That would be the view of a biased man u/fa gloryhunter,but I see it differently.Giggs wouldn't have scored that goal in todays game against Barcelona or Man City who by the way tore man u/fa apart 6-1 at the theatre of wet dreams yesterday,did you see it?Spiffing stuff.Amen.
@zzzaaa0990 This was the Arsenal defence. The Arsenal defence of Keown, Adams, Dixon, Winterburn. With Vieira in midfield. And Seaman in goal. Just checking - are you saying these guys were not worth their salt? Arsenal's defence was immense. Maybe they could have done a better job here, but just pipe down and accept this moment of awesome football genius for what it is: awesome football genius.
@Bobexile I beg to differ.Giggs wouldn't have scored that goal in todays game.He would have been gobbled up instantly by todays defenders.Good goal for its time,despite the dodgy defending.Amen.
@zzzaaa0990 it doesnt matter, in its day it was a amazing goal, but that goal /run cud be replicated in todays football, and it would be seen as a good goal.
@dan05011991 I beg to differ.Defenders today would have gobbled Giggs up with their superior fitness levels,they're more tuned in and would have prevented that goal.As I said,it was a good goal for ITS time,no more no less.Amen.
"Defenders today would have gobbled Giggs up with their superior fitness levels,they're more tuned in and would have prevented that goal"
This was 1999 not 1899 you tool.
Players haven't physically mutated in the space of 12 years.
Yes, we lost 6-1. Massive dent in our pride but when all's said and done, if we win our 20th title without the luxury of infinite resources it wont count for shit my friend and you will be forced to stop trolling Utd videos you blue cretin.
@79dougb Your fragile egos are still severely dented since "The Manchester Football Massacre",that's good you're still seething.You couldn't be more wrong about players not developing pyhsically since 1999!They are mighty beasts!they would put the six million dollar man to shame!they are so fast it's incredible,they would have gobbled Giggs up for that goal,he wouldn't have made it inside the box.Yes they were fit in 99 but today they are bionic,Giggs would have been lost in todays game.Amen.
Great application of logic there; so by your reasoning it is now literally impossible to dribble the ball into the box?
Giggs would have been lost in today's game? The same way Pele, Maradona, Cryuff, Best and Di Stefano would be "lost" as well? Let's write off every great player who has ever lived due to your absurd notion of "bionic" defenders which exist only inside your mind.
@79dougb Messi can do it as he is exceptional as would Pele,Maradona,Best and Cryuff because they are godly like and 50 times better than Giggs,that's the difference!Defenders today are bionic compared to when Giggs scored this goal which was good for its time.Giggs is no Pele or Maradona,they're incomparable,unless you think Pele and Maradona couldn't hack it today?Amen.
You do not seem to understand the absurdity of your own argument, which coming from someone who closes their post with "amen" doesnt suprise me in the least.
If a brilliant goal can be written off as "average" because 10 years later defenders become "more bionic" as you term it, then every single brilliant goal ever scored in the history of Association Football can be deemed "average" as they would not have been able to have been scored a mere 10 years later.
@79dougb But Pele and Maradona are way better players than Giggs,unless you think Giggs is better?Would you say Pele wouldn't be good today?The debate rages on!Amen.
can he do anymore than that?
HELL YEAH!

@79dougb Messi can do it as he is exceptional as would Pele,Maradona,Best and Cryuff because they are godly like and 50 times better than Giggs,that's the difference!Defenders today are bionic compared to when Giggs scored this goal which was good for its time.Giggs is no Pele or Maradona,they're incomparable,unless you think Pele and Maradona couldn't hack it today?Amen.

You do not seem to understand the absurdity of your own argument, which coming from someone who closes their post with "amen" doesnt suprise me in the least.
If a brilliant goal can be written off as "average" because 10 years later defenders become "more bionic" as you term it, then every single brilliant goal ever scored in the history of Association Football can be deemed "average" as they would not have been able to have been scored a mere 10 years later.

@79dougb But Pele and Maradona are way better players than Giggs,unless you think Giggs is better?Would you say Pele wouldn't be good today?The debate rages on!Amen.
