Hope you're right.

Spot on.

"Back to His Usual self" That would mean being a top player, our most effective creator of goals and chances. been off his game in the last 2 months, not being helped by being shifted inside a lot and disrupting his link up with Evra by bringing in Heinze in for a few games.

I £#%&!ing love that man.

only bit of that I'd disagree with is the "almost".


Giggs is the most consistent and sublime talent of his era in English football. It baffles me that he isn't held in the same universal esteem by United fans that Paul Scholes rightly is.

Agreed, especially with the Scholes comparison who has been deified by Utd fans in recent years, we have heard that he has been underrated so often that he is almost becoming overrated in a reaction to it.

Martin and Richardson will need to step up their game big time to get in the team regularly. Probably too late for Richardson (hard to say with him not playing much), but hopefully one of them can do it - or another United youngster, at any rate.

lee martin is more likely to do so though.

richardson will just be a versatile squad player for united.

fill in at lb,lw,rw, cm and upfront.
