Giggs in, it's the only one that makes sense to me. Giggs has been around long enough to know the 'Sir Alex handbook' by heart.

Giggs or a SAF return. Those are the only logical ones for me.

But Giggs is a huge risk in my book as he has no real managerial experience.

adzii_nufc · 12-12-2015, 20:23

That's never stopped Pep Guardiola or Mourinho.

Onto that loss then. The winning goal was just awful, the reaction time of the United defence was just non existent. A completely preventable goal.

l wonder what Russ thoughts are on Giggs?.

I'd rather wonder what Russie-poo thinks of the Euro draw

Well given England's consistent ability to underperform Wales must be favourites for the match.

He's looking forward to Wales being England's banana skin, given how well we've played lately

As for Giggs....I'm not so sure. Yes he's the ideal man to bring back Fergie United but would the world class players we need have enough confidence to want to play for him? United legends going in to management have rarely set the world on fire. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see Giggs as United manager but experience-wise I'd say only if Guardiola or possibly Ancelotti were not available.

Arsenal heading for the top of the table and Villa heading for the trapdoor into the Championship it seems.

Nothing wrong with that at all. It's just people looking for a reason to be offended. It's usually how people refer to teams drawn into the same group as them. 'Arsenal's group' or 'Manchester United's group'.

Nobody's offended. Just pointing out usual English double standards.

How is it a double standard? This is how teams usually refer to the groups they're in. You would surely have referred to your Champions League group as 'our' group or 'Manchester United's' group. This is ridiculous.
