Great game tonight on the wing from our man Giggsy, and seemed to relish title number 13 just as much as everyone else.
So yeah... Here's to title number 14!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Long may this absolute legend of a man continue. He was brilliant tonight, and as long as he still contributes as he did tonight, he isn't going anywhere.
SAF: "Giggs is a freak, he is a unique freak!".
He's banged his bro's wife
And a tart with nice boobs
And played for United
Since before I had pubes
I always knew I was Giggs
Can you imagine if the doubters had their way and he actually called it quits? He's still an absolutely majestic footballer but besides all that he's still a seriously reliable matchwinner that every team would love to have.
You're exaggerating. If he retired this season we would be fine going forwards.Can you imagine if the doubters had their way and he actually called it quits?

I'm pretty sure you've missed brwned's point there. He's never said we'd have really struggled without him or anything, but he has certainly contributed to this campaign (more so in the cups admittidly, but he's popped up with some great moments in the league) and I would say has been our best winger this season.
He's also responsible for (in my opinion) the assist and pass of the season (vs. West Ham) and the individual performance of the season (West Ham in the cup at home)...
We don't have anyone else who can play the pass in clip 1 of the main post or clip 1 of the spoiler post. Apart from Scholes. And we don't have anyone who can do the dribble in clip 2, though that's less important as it's not a big part of his game anymore.
We'd be alright, but we'd definitely be weaker without him currently.
Of course we'd be fine, it's not like I'm saying we really have been a one-man team all along and that one man was actually Ryan Giggs. Though while we're on that subject...seriously though, I'm just saying we'd have lost a much bigger creative threat than people realise right now, IMO. At the very least we'd lost one of the most naturally gifted entertainers in the game. He's been making the sublime look simple for decades.
You read my mind Brwned..
I was also thinking about those who said we concede goals because of Giggs playing.. Remember that theory? How laughable does it sound now?

If there was a 27 year old player as good as he is know, we'd all be wanting us to sign him for a huge amount. Brilliant player, but still at his best on the left wing as opposed to CM. Was boss again last night.
There's also the value, quite apart from his brilliance, of having a player who'd done it all before... and done it all before that... over and over again, for nearly a quarter of a century. He's won all the trophies, he's lost them, he's seen our best player get sold, he's seen how the boss always has a solution. He's like a walking, dribbling, passing, sister-in-law-boning history of Man United's glory years.
He's also our best crosser, at least when Young's being shite.

He's definitely our best crosser I would say. In fact, I'd say he's probably our best player at fashioning/creating chances out of not much at all... and definitley the player I would call upon to help create a chance out of nothing in games when we're struggling. Like the West Ham game last week, he came on, was largely rubbish, and yet still managed to throw in a great cross that Chico almost scored from.
And yeah, his overall influence and experience in the squad surely can't be understated. The rest of our players clearly look to him and respect him, so to have him around the the squad can only be a good thing.
Exactly, someone on here (might have been you, actually, thinking about it) who said something along the lines of Giggsy is basically Sir Alex but on the pitch.
But probably not in the bedroom.
Giggsy was our best wide player this season. Whenever he played out left he was superb.
Ryan Giggs skips the beach to stay on course for career in management
You have to feel he'll be involved in some sort of coaching capacity here.
Her man should be worried. We know what Giggs is like.

Giggsy's next target I presume.
He's probably already gone through it.
She has been to Carrington..
The love-cheat sex-pest has probably scored already.. Or maybe he's waiting for her to marry his brother.

what does the number 86 represent on that shirt?
Birth year presumably.
She was born in 86
Lucky, lucky cow.
Didn't she claim he had showed her his yoga after she did that piece with him at Carrington. I don't think it takes Carol Vorderman to work out what's been happening here...
[for clarity, what's been happening is that she is now well into yoga, and they have become good platonic friends]

At how many appearances is by now?
This has all the makings of a beautiful super injunction.
I'd shag Giggsy for a shirt with 74 on it.
We have seen this many times, but it really is impressing.

Like all sporting records, probably someday. The fun part is seeing how long it takes.
Messi has 6, he's young enough to get another 8 (or not?).
Thiago will break the record though, he has 4 titles with Barca and he'll get another 8 with us

Manchester United legend is excited by a career in coaching after playing
By Peter Glynn
After 23 seasons of unparelleled success in English football’s top flight, there is something strange about hearing Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs describe himself as a novice.
But that’s exactly what the 13-time Premier League winner is feeling as he begins to face the reality of life after playing and the prospect of embarking on a career in coaching and management.
“It’ll be like starting all over again, it will be like being an apprentice again, learning things and making mistakes as you go along and just trying to better yourself as much as you can,” explained the 39 year-old, who is currently in Turkey attending the FIFA U20 World Cup as part of the UEFA Pro Licence course.
If the Welshman successfully completes the 18-month-long course, the highest qualification in the football industry, he will be one of first players to hold the award whilst still playing.
“I am an intense person and when I’m playing I’m concentrating on that,” he explained exclusively to TheFA.com.
“Also, I’ve got to start thinking that it’s near the end and what I’m going to do afterwards.
“It’s exciting for me. I’ve been playing for twenty-odd years and it’s a new chapter in my life. I want to do well and I want to make a success of it as I did as a player."
The man who has just departed Old Trafford hot-seat after 26 years has provided Giggs with the perfect managerial mentor.
However, it is not only Sir Alex Ferguson who has helped Giggs learn about the key skills of management. He has also been part of an experienced group of players tasked with maintaining the club standards in the champions’ dressing room.
“Obviously I’d be stupid not to pick up on bits that I’ve learned from the [former] manager [Sir Alex Ferguson],” he explained, before adding: “The players manage the dressing room, which is important really.
"The manager doesn’t want to be dealing with little problems in the changing room all the time.
“I think it’s important that you’re self-disciplined in the changing room and that the standards are set.
"You have to make sure you stand by those both on and off the pitch with regards training, looking after yourself and making sure you get the right rest to ensure you produce the best football."
Giggs’s insight into the dressing room culture which helped Manchester United secure their 20th title last season also says much about why the midfielder is on the brink of beginning an unsurpassed 24th season at the pinnacle of the English game.
Drawing on the expertise of others has been the key to Giggs’s longevity.
“You use everything you can to better yourself. Whether it’s talking to the coaches, talking to the other players, the dieticians, the sports scientists, you try and pick their brains as much as you can for your benefit.
“From Monday through to the game on Saturday you try and make sure you’re peaking on that Saturday. You build up your week for that game at the weekend.
"The more experience you get, the more you know, the more you know what’s best for you”.
Good interview. Giggs would be a great coach.
Some of our coaches in England haven't even reached the type of coaching badges Giggsy is set to receive and yet this lad is still playing! Incredible!
