Ryan Giggs has spoken about his feelings after being named captain of Team GB for the Olympics in London this summer.
“Obviously it is a tremendous honour to be part of the Olympics,” said Giggs. “Stuart has obviously given me the captaincy, which is even better so I am really looking forward to it. It is a unique experience and one from the start that I wanted to be part of when I got the opportunity. I think it just got more and more exciting as the Games got nearer and then when the squads were announced I was obviously really, really proud to be involved.”

obviously, Ryan, obviously!
Congrats Ryan. Get the Gold.
Understatement of the year from regular thug and cunt craig bellamy = “Giggs is probably one of the best player ever”. Probably? Fucking probably?
. ofcourse. fuck sake he should have been knighted by now.
Arise Sir Ryan
Well done Captain Giggs. Quorn burgers all round!
Got to be Spain for the title hasn’t it? They are irrepressible. Team S > Team GB.
Slim – with the royal family always wanting to paint the perfect picture, Giggs has no chance of getting it.
Giggs Captain!!!
@ Willie happy birthing day!! Another mark on the chalkboard of life.
fred spain will be there m8 given the personal they have to call on, and obvisouly the ball retention manner they play with, but brazil’s squad is looking good 2
Good Day all who practice gag reflex so deep throbbing things deep in your mouth do not make you gag, hello.
I hope on of our boys gets the gold medal. Spain would be my bet but I would be ecstatic if it is Great Britain.
Robert Mugabe got a knighthood. I think they can let Giggsy’s minor transgressions slide.
Giggs is one of the best players not to show off on a big National stage?
Is it Sept. 1st yet?
Zibbie – not unless you count the San Marino national stadium as a big stage.
Fred – Exactly! Didn’t rubber lips Jagger get a KH? His private life would put Giggsy’s to shame!
Zibbie – Ah thanks mate.
Powell can play many positions as Kagawa can.
Powell,…MF a 2 in a 4-2-3-1, Middle 3 and out left as well
Powell …. in a 4-4-2 both mf spots and a second striker
ect.
Kagawa 4-2-3-1 LW and middle of 3
” ” 4-4-2 MF LW Second striker
ect…………
Fred I ask back door questions, can you help me. Who are the best players never to show on the world stage of the WC, Euros, ect.???
Willie have a kings day, eat and drink what you want.
Zibbie – Off the top of my head: Giggs, George Best, George Weah, John Charles maybe?
Fred thanks, I luv RoM.
Not that I was ever a fan of George Weah – especially not after his spells with Chelsea and City, the latter of whom he signed for believing it was United, according to Manc folklore – but he was considered a top player in his day.
Eric Cantona!
Betty Rubble was one of the first cartoon characters I was attracted to. Her laugh as you tapped her from behind! TMI!!!! That Jessica Rabbit a precursor to hot babe on games.
Final additions: Duncan Edwards and Alfredo di Stefano. RIP.
Betty Rubble, yeah, nice ass.
Eric, I look for replays of old games on Fox Soccer. I see why he is so loved. He worked his ass off in training and help start the MUFC mind set of out work, out win everyone.
Ah Fred thanks, for me it is Giggs for my short 9 years of day to day fandome. The WC as far back as 74, then Maradona of 78 and Brazil of 82 and the Italians winning it all!!!
For me brazillian team > than the spain team..the likes of hulk,neymar, moura, damiao,ganso,pato,Marcelo,rafael,danilo,sandro,oscar..etc team to beat
If I see 20 more years, kids that have only dribbled balls with their hands Some will dribble balls with their feet here in the US. Look the fuck out for the USA!!!!! First step McBride, Citys capt, of 2003, Dempsey, Holden, Donovan are just the start. There are kids out there now seeing Messi, CR7 , Becks, Henny make 20 million a year.
Arise Sir Ryan………..And for God’s sake shag who ever you want, we love you!
Just come back in one piece, old man!
Obviously, he was the obvious choice.
Samuel – United WE Stand
I’ll keep believing mate. im sure he won’t because of his shenanigans coming to light but I’ll be over the moon if it happens.
Forget the royal family. the media will pull every dirty trick tomake sure it never happens.
they’d rather support John Cuntterry i’m sure. British legend and all.
DeGea will be Spain Captain as well. Nice!
How does Murrat get a louder cheer than the champion?
Ungrateful Cunts
Fred, RMW, Looks like we won’t have to prepare for the Apocalypse after all.
Order finally restored in the World and a King his re-united with his Crown. The person who called for Federer to take this in 4 sets deserves a fucking medal.
I am over the moon right now. This proves that there’s still some good left in this fucking world.
Balaji – Peace is restored to the Kingdom. We did it, guys. We did it.
watched the first two sets with Bolton fan who lives close to OT – what are the odds of that in Lagos.
he had high hopes for Murray.
Chuffed for Roger. the berbatov of the tennis circuit
If it wasn’t going to be Giggs, who would it be? Bellamy?
On tennis. Federer has got to be the classiest player ever, all style & grace. Who needs 2 hands on a backhand when a single hand does it with so much beauty
Our Giggsy has done alright for himself tbf, hasn’t he?
