It jus occurred to me ...
Wud Giggs have appreciated winning the award as much as United fans or the voters have?
Forget the fans back here or in the stands, forget the voters or the panel who nominated, but think abt Giggsy himself. Hes honest to earth, and he wud be the best judge of whether he deserves the award or not. He takes it home with him, and he'll look back at the year on the plaque and it'd say Players' Player 2008/09... Did I deserve this one?
I think he'd probably say hell yeah!...IF we win the title
Or else, this could just be a parting gift, so long, farewell...
That video they depicted at the awards, wasnt him in this season, it was him over his career. They even included the FA Cup goal against Arsenal. Thats more like a bye bye gesture than a season-long recognition.
Having said that, id tell you lot to stop thinking abt statistics and look at what he brought to the table, or the field, which we cant quantify. That desire and hunger is the pure reason why a team succeeds. It pushes u to the brim, and he still has that, and he influences the young ones in the side.
I look at the video of him receiving the award and I ask myself ... Did he deserve this one?
Id say Hell Yeah!
Gerrard (who i think has been phenomenal) and Lamps (Superfrank) and Vida (Terminator) ... Im sure they'd agree.. Giggsy deserved it most this season .. and theres a tonne of seasons to go on and win it in the future
Of course he'll feel as though he left the other nominees short changed. He was never the best player in the season so far, and has not put in enuff eye-catching moments to warrant such an award. But it was voted for by his peers, and we all understand that. Let us not forget here that he won it becoz he won the larger majority of votes. Just like how it works in American Idol or whatever reality tv that share the same voting system, sentiments will affect the result. Sure, Vidic, Gerrard, Lampard and the others who have stood out alot more than Giggsy has over the season will have a case to argue that they probably deserved it a lot more than him, thats natural. I'm sure individual honors don't matter as much to Giggs compared to team trophies. Knowing him, he'll probably trade it off for another league medal in a heartbeat.Wud Giggs have appreciated winning the award as much as United fans or the voters have?
