Default United Fans Want Giggs Axed! - 04-08-2008, 09:56 PM

What United fans? You?

In fact, I'm putting up a poll from now until the end April. I want to know which supporters in here. So please vote and indicate why. You can vote for more than one selection.

I don't understand why The Sun just doesn't sell one page. Page 3. The rest of there "newspaper" is utter shite.

Who has MUTV to confirm this rubbish?

How dare they insult Ryan Giggs.

I'll leave my thoughts out until others comment.

Quote:

RYAN GIGGS celebrated his 750th appearance for Manchester United against Middlesbrough — then got hit by a storm of criticism.

United fans rang the club’s own TV station calling for him to be axed.

Even boss Alex Ferguson had a go at him during the 2-2 draw at the Riverside on Sunday.

Ferguson was furious that Giggs failed to latch on to a late through ball from Ji-Sung Park.

Giggs, 34, is United’s most decorated player with 18 major titles but, as United’s title bid stuttered with a draw on Teesside, fans were asking whether this season should be his last.

One MUTV caller said: “Can you possibly tell me why Ryan Giggs keeps getting the sympathy vote? He was woeful today.”

Another said: “I do not see what Ryan Giggs brings to the side at the moment.

“He has been a great servant and got some fantastic goals. But at the moment he’s not worth playing. He’s no threat.”

The calls prompted ex-United stars Viv Anderson and Lou Macari to jump to Giggs’ defence.

Anderson said: “I still think Ryan Giggs is a threat at times.

“I’m surprised at this stage of the season people pick on players who’ve been here a long time.”

Macari added: “The manager picks him because he feels he’s the best man for the job.

“Players can have off days or periods when you are having a nightmare.” Giggs is just nine games shy of matching Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time appearance record for United. But the Old Trafford outfit would have to reach the Champions League final and Giggs would have to play in the last five league games as well to tie Charlton’s 759-mark.

Giggs has still easily been in the top 10 for appearances among United’s side this season with 34.

But there was an indication Fergie does not consider him first-choice for the biggest games when he left him out of the starting line- up for Roma away. Giggs has one season left on his current deal and has started taking his coaching badges.

The Welsh winger, who has played for United half his life having made his debut in March 1991 at 17, is also lined up for an ambassadorial role for the club.

And whatever Giggs’ knockers say, he is already cemented as one of United’s all-time legends.

Leaders United are now three points clear of Chelsea after their draw at Boro. Giggs said: “We hope it will be a crucial point. After going 2-1 down, it’s probably a point gained.

“Some people were saying the title was done and dusted.

“But we’ve always said there are tough games coming up for us and Arsenal and Chelsea.

“We want to win every game and we’re capable of doing it.”
