Giggs aiming four-figure appearances

-

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs wants to keep on appearing for United after extending his contract for one more year. The 38 year old has said that he is not considering retirement any soon as he is aiming for 1000 appearances milestone before he retires.

Giggs who made his debut 22 years ago during the 1990-91 season has scored 163 goals for United and is still giving the best for the club. Giggsy has been the most discipline player as he had never been sent-off till now from the day of his debut for United.



"It's nice to have played 900 games for Manchester United -- that's special," Giggs said, in a interview with Gazzetta Dello Sport. "But I don't look too far into the future - I just try and enjoy the moment and do my best.

When questioned on what he will do after his retirement, Giggs replied that he will stay in the coaching group and will not leave football. He didn't show any signs of managing the red-devils after dedicating his long playing career for United. The fans will surely love to have a player like Giggs as a successor of Sir Alex Ferguson.




"But to manage a team like Manchester United? Guardiola's done it at Barcelona but even he was the coach of their 'B' team for a couple of years. He had a little bit of experience managing so we'll have to see."  The signs of his words show Giggs may take little experience in managing if he is going to sign the tough job at Old Trafford.

"My goal when I was younger was to play for Manchester United just once. But then after that you get greedy. You want to be in the team all the time. Then you want to score goals. Then you get really greedy - you want to win trophies and then you win more and more trophies" said Giggs as reported by ESPN. 


As per the reports, Giggs rarely misses his training sessions even though he won't be questioned much. It astonishes football pundits all around the world on his fitness, how on earth is he so fit at this age. "Yoga has definitely helped me. It helps me with training because it gives me the flexibility and the strength to not only play games but train every day," he said.

Giggs is still living his childhood dream of playing for United, what else a player wants. He had lifted Premier League titles, Champions League titles, FA Cups, League Cups, Intercontinental cup and also the FIFA World Cup. I think we should bring a new trophy after he retires to say he has not won this cup.

The Curious Case of the Collar Button

NOTE/DISCLAIMER: Collar button in this part of the world refers to the shirt's top button. Also, ties can be wore without collar buttons, ask YouTube.  The collar button despite being an utterly useless thing to exist on the planet has never faced an existential crisis. It is neither useful nor attractive but still, it somehow continues to survive. It would have indeed felt like an endangered species when the collarless tees came up on the market but that hasn't stopped the buck. A little bit of history explains a lot about the birth of this once great now pointless invention, in the mid-nineteenth century, humans didn't care to bathe or wash their clothes as much as we do now, but this accumulated a lot of dust on their collars, obviously, so they had only detachable collars which were switched daily and can be made possible only with the help of collar buttons. But now the collars form part of the shirt, yet this has been still around, a perfect example of th

A good goalkeeper is half the team, Vicente Del Bosque knows why it matters to pick the best three shot stoppers on the plane to Brazil in their quest to defend the FIFA World Cup. With Valdes injuring his knee against Celta Vigo playing for the Spanish champions has put an end to his chances of getting into the team.  Inspite of not starting many matches this season for his club, Iker Casillas has always remained part of Del Bosque's plans, making the Real Madrid legend an ideal choice for La Roja's World Cup team. Whether the current Spain No.1 is the first choice goalkeeper or not, he is surely part of the star-studded squad. “He’s active, he’s training, and he is playing in the Champions League, I don’t see a problem to call him up. Physically, he’s fine.” - Del Bosque on Casillas. Now, it stands between Pepe Reina, Diego Lopez and David de Gea to get their ticket to one of the most decorated sports event o f  all time. With two spots remaining let's see which on
