When ronaldo won the ballon d'or and fifa poty award, everybody keep saying messi should win coz he pwned everyone at the olympics, and torres coz he helped spain won the european cup. How long does the olympics and european cup lasts ? 1 month ? And they deserve to win the player of the YEAR award ?

And yes, vidic is more deserving this year. And i agree that giggs should get a bigger award like the player of the decade or something like that

anyone who say Giggs doesnt deserve this award really should read back everything about the Premier League.

And at his age now, he`s still running like a teenage boy, when Sir Alex say at the start of the season that Giggsy will be rested more this season, he (Giggs) show that he doesnt need to be rested, he just want to play, and play, and play.

Ah, any award that goes to United player is bad, I should know

munky, about C. Ronaldo double award, only United hater and Ronaldo hater will complain, lets see, Messi for the Olympics? Where does Olympic football rank among World top footballing competition? Torres helped Spain won the European Cup? Only help Spain? Dont forget Liverpool end the season without a single silverwear, dont tell me he deserve that too?

All hail Ryan Giggs!

That's cause he was obviously the best that 2 season. Everyone recognise Giggs as a professional athlete, the respect he generated on and off the field added to how well he adapted to his new role as a AM, instead of the old winger he was. Everyone question his ability as the pace of EPL increase while his own pace deteriorate, yet he able to change his style and use his vision and positioning skill instead to dictate the game. He was good in every game he played this season though not much. But POTY needs consistency, the game he started doesn't suggest much of it. Again I repeat the million dollar question. Does he deserve it over this year? Not really. But does he deserve it overall? Yes. But seeing the nomination again, only Vidic will run him close for the money. I think Vidic himself would be pleased for Giggs as he know he deserve it after so many years running up and down the flanks.

Yes it's not easy where SAF tends to utilize his game intelligence instead of the his speed. I watched few of his games this season, not all, what i can say is he is truly a class act and definitely one deserved all the hails. To be honest, he's the only one rival's player that i respect the most.

Yeah perhaps he is getting older but his influence always there, be it come out the bench at 89th minutes or warming up right beside the crowd. You may found it very weird that quite a number of Liverpool fans have him respected, unlike other(hot temper, but i am not trying to flame), he is always cool and unpredictable. You don't see him celebrate his goal like mad person, doing sommersault or pulled out the mask from the socks, but he's one firm factor behind SAF's sucess story.

actually he did! against Arsenal when he score that individual goal! Taking off his shirt and swing around his head showing his hairy chest

Look on the bright side. Could be even worse, Carragher might actually be on the list. Scary thought that...

I would love to see the voting results by the fellow players. Does Giggs wins it by a mile or just nick it...

yea man. this calls for a vid!

Giggs is definitely one of the finest player in the world, but to win it in this year, is totally a surprise. He should had won it few years back. IMO, Gerrard or Lampard deserved more to be the player of the year this season. Giggs is not even starting regularly and is not at his very best form this season. Is this award to tribute past golden player? VDS, Scholes or G.Neville for the award next year?

Yeah that actually send shivers down my spine too.

In the joint effort he quits England squad, can't even displace Wes Brown in the pecking order.

instead of asking why giggs shouldn't win it..why don't we turn the discussion into the other way around..

why majority of PFA members voted for giggs?

I think it's be an honour to him by other players. He's 35 already. His career maybe ends soon while others have long way to go...actually i admire his skills and passion, just pity him as a great player,he never got chances to play in World Cup...

He did. But he chose Wales instead of England. What would England be if he played for them?

Yeah, i know, i mean the final round of World Cup...just wondering when exactly he'll be retiring? Zizou retired when he was 34

All this talk about giving him a player of the decade award or summat like that... There isn't one isn't it? And you can bet your last dollar that some ppl will go "why the feck create an award just to hail one player?" and the merry go round continues its cycle. Ooh, yeah, I can hear ppl going what about Dalglish? Rush? Henry? Zola?

And how many of the posters condemning the selection have actually sat down and watched each and every one of his performances for us this season. All I see are ppl basing their comments on his pitch time and amount of goals, something a six year old should be able to pick up from Google.

I'm glad giggsy won it but i can't help but agree with this statement. Giggs should've won it a long time ago,and many times too!

yes, and the other point is he won everything already but lack this individual award only ...

and who knows he declare to retire immediately after this season end ...

i have a strong feelings he might quit after end of this season( if Utd win the UCL and EPL).... well deserved player. Sir Ryan Giggs

and again my thanks for seeing the Bigger picture and some sense than some who would choose to ignore it in their own delirium that it might be an attack on their players instead

wow...6 United players in the PFA team of the year....for those "haters"....ure team player's are in thr lah...gerrard torres anelka...ok...
