Giggs 99 vs Pires 04
So, who's better? Man U and Arsenal fans should probably refrain from voting, just because we know what they'll say. But I wasn't watching much Premiership 5 years ago and I've missed Giggsie's best years. How good was he?
TIA
Val

Re: Giggs 99 vs Pires 04
Pires is amazing right now, one of the best left wingers in the world. The fact that he is one of the best, however, is a reason why Giggs was better back then; lightning quick, extremely skilled, tracked back, and had some moments of surreal magic (see: FA Cup Semi Final goal vs. Arsenal).

Are you seriously that thick or what?
Giggs is not known for being a diving tw@t, so that should edge it for him right there.

I apologize, Pires' reputation for going down easy is totally undeserved.

I agree, Giggs was magic. Much better than Pires, most of Pires goals are tap ins and he feeds off the other players, Giggs turns it on by himself.

what crap, if some statto can help out here I'm sure you will see that Pires makes and scores far more than Giggs, Giggs is a crap finisher and a crap crosser, all he's good for is beating a defender.

Wow. You really come off looking stupid when you make a post like this. Pires feeds off the other players and scores tap ins?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Have you ever even seen him play? If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post.
