Ryan Giggs scores for 23rd straight season!


You know the token “old guy” who shows up at your pick-up basketball games and still keeps up with everyone half his age? Soccer’s “old guy” is Ryan Giggs, and he’s not just playing pick-up, he’s still competing in the top soccer league in the world!

At a shade over 39 years old, Ryan Giggs improved on his own record today by scoring his first Premier League goal of the season, marking the 23rd straight season in which he’s scored at least once. It also makes Giggs the only player to have scored at least 1 goal in every single Premier League season since its inception in 1992-93.

There’s just one word for this kind of feat: legendary.

Sir Alex may be the worst Charades player of all time

This is a gem: Sir Alex and some Manchester United players took part in a good old fashioned game of charades for the MUTV channel, and Fergie seemed to get pretty frustrated with his teammates.

Being tasked with acting out Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal, Ferguson’s flailing hand gestures stumped his teammates far longer than it should have, prompting the legend manager to drop an F-bomb out of frustration! Much to the enjoyment of Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney on the opposing team.

Sir Alex Ferguson calls out Alan Pardew, takes shot at Newcastle

After avoiding punishment from the FA for berating referee Mike Dean at halftime over Jonny Evans’ controversial own goal Wednesday, Sir Alex Ferguson was apparently not too pleased over Newcastle boss Alan Pardew’s assessment that he should’ve been sent off for his actions. Here’s what Sir Alex had to say in response to Pardew’s comments:

“Alan Pardew has come out and criticized me, he is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticize me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way.”

“I was demonstrative but I was not out of order. The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy. It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the north east.”

“I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy. But I was not abusive. I shouted Mike over. We walked towards each other. I was only on [the pitch] three or four yards. That has been overplayed. The problem for me is that the profile of this club is huge.”

Yikes, Newcastle. Score this one as a Fergie win, if for nothing else but our pure entertainment.
