      Erm why? If he deserves one, surely the Liverpool team of the 70s and 80s deserve one. The biggest injustice would be if this hairy monster munch did get one and Paisley didn't. In fact it is a travesty. That geriatric has one already.

        Heh, all day I was thinking by my myself that the only prize Giggs should ever win was the Yeti Looking ___ (insert what you find appropriate) Award.

          The PFA Award has historically almost always got it wrong for some reason. Rushie and Terry Mac were the only LP players to get it a few years back when we dominated for nearly two decades. Our players were just disliked. The writers' award usually gets it spot on. We used to win that year in year out. Gerrard will win that this year. The award to Giggs in my opinion is an unintentional but hugely embarrassing thing to happen to a player who's been an outstanding player for MU for best part of 20 years. The clues were in the "nominations". 5 Man U players out of 6 in what has been a fairly average season for them performance wise. Those stats 12 starts and one goal are shocking. Dossena's outscored him

            If a cyclist can, the most successful footballer (trophies wise) the country has ever seen probably should.

              F*ck that.

              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                A few of them might have but in them days they weren't handed out to working class sports players. Seems to have been a buck in that trend recently hence a few knighthoods in recent times.
                Forwards.......

                  Win a gold at the olympics and you are a shoe in.

                    Or indeed win more than one gold at the Olympics and you're a shoe in. Steve Redgrave, Kelly Holmes, Chris Hoy etc

                    Matthew Pinsent and Ben Ainsley must be pretty pissed off.

                      Sir Matthew Pinsent, you mean?

                      Ben Ainslie CBE and Bradley Wiggins CBE perhaps have a little cause for envy but it's not like they've done badly out of the system.

                      As for Giggs, the Honours system is farcical enough without awarding more dubious knighthoods to individuals playing in team sports most of the time in domestic competition and who, in Giggs' case, has managed to achieve precisely nothing playing for his country. That's not his fault of course because, um, it's a team sport, but if relative failure like that isn't a cause to withhold an honour then why is relative success a reason to bestow it?

                      Of course the reason is it's cheap populism by politicians.

                      Also don't forget that Giggs has been a multimillionaire for a long time - people like Hoy and Redgrave only make any money once they have achieved (repeated) Olympic success. In comparison Giggs hasn't had to make too many sacrifices at all.

                      An MBE or OBE is more than enough. So let's put a stop now to the rising clamour to make Ryan Giggs a minor deity - after all, it's only the PR being put about to justify what is otherwise a marginal case, at best, for his PFA award.

                        Well that further exemplifies my point about multiple gold winners getting knighted. Just imagine what it'll be like after the 2012 London Olympics. Ben Ainslie's a shoe in for one if he wins gold again.
