Van der Sar: Giggs is one and only

Edwin van der Sar is certain the legendary achievements of Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs will never be broken.

Van der Sar was among the five nominees to miss out last night as his Manchester United team-mate was named Professional Footballers' Association player of the year.

It was the first time Giggs collected the prestigious accolade, adding it to his 10 Premier League titles, two European Cups, four FA Cups, three League Cups and various other trophies collected during a stellar one-club career.

On Wednesday against Arsenal, Giggs is expected to make his 800th Red Devils appearance, edging further clear of Sir Bobby Charlton, whose record he took when he came on as substitute during the Champions League Final victory over Chelsea in Moscow last May.

The 35-year-old has already pledged to see out the remaining year of his contract. And if he can maintain his present form, Giggs could carry on towards his 40th birthday.

But Van der Sar, who has made more than 650 club appearances during a career which took him from Ajax to Juventus and then Fulham before heading north to Old Trafford in 2005, feels even if he stopped now, Giggs' record will stand forever.

"It would be hard to beat that record," said the veteran Dutchman.

"There are so many changes now with transfers and everything else and Ryan started out early.

"You will not see anything like that in future.

"And the thing is he is still going strong. It is as though he was only 31."

Although he is not used in every game, Giggs' influence over United is still immense. And with the pressure starting to increase in a week which began in such thrilling fashion at Old Trafford on Saturday ahead of Wednesday's first leg with the Gunners, the Welshman's presence could be a major factor.

"It is a joy to see how he trains as well as plays," said Van der Sar.

"How he controls the ball, how he sees a pass and the runs he makes. He can read a game and adjust the way we play.

"He shows such dedication every day and sets the example for everyone."

If the last seven days are anything to go by, Old Trafford can brace itself for a thriller.

Last week Arsenal were involved in an astonishing eight-goal draw with Liverpool, Andrey Arshavin scoring all four goals for Arsene Wenger's men.

On Saturday United secured a dramatic win over Tottenham, roaring back from two goals down at the break to record a victory that has taken them to the brink of an 18th league championship.

"Last Tuesday was a strange game," reflected Van der Sar.

"Sometimes you make one mistake in a game, other times it is nine or 10. That is football.

"We are all human beings and these kind of things happen. Hopefully we can be a bit tighter against them and get the same opportunities Liverpool had."

Sir Alex Ferguson's major dilemma is who to start up front given Carlos Tevez's outstanding contribution to the Red Devils' most recent triumph.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney seem certain to be involved after taking their personal goal tally to 23 and 20 at the weekend, while Ferguson is a huge fan of Berbatov's economic style even though many fans prefer Tevez's industry.

John O'Shea also seems set to fill the right-back berth as United look for added defensive resolve in their attempt to become the first team to defend the European Cup since the Champions League era began in 1992.

"This game is going to be something new because we have never played English opposition in a two-legged European game before," said Van der Sar.

"We are all excited about it but at the same time, the preparation and way we go about our job will be no different.

"For us it is just two games on the way to something big that we experienced last year.

"That night in Moscow was fantastic and we will do everything in our power to achieve that goal again

Giggs sets Gunners goal

RYAN GIGGS is ready to re-enact one of the most famous goal celebrations in history.

It is 10 years since Giggs, the newly-crowned PFA player of the year, skipped past four players on a 60-yard run before smashing in a sensational late goal to beat Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park.

The Welsh wizard was so overcome by the emotion of the occasion that he whipped his shirt off, whirling it round his head and kept running all the way back to the half-way line.

Giggs admits he might just expose that rippling torso all over again if he gets the winner against the Gunners which clinches United’s place in the Champions League final in Rome.

Go on to the internet and signed photos of that iconic image are still trading for a healthy sum.These days, of course, you get booked for flashing the flesh but that will not bother Giggs provided it does not cost him a ban.

Recalling that amazing night in 1999, Giggs said: “It was a great moment for me personally and for the team. It was a massive turning point in the season that ended in the Treble.

“Arsenal are a top, top team. They always have been. Over the years they’ve been our biggest challengers so when you play against them you’ve got to raise your game.

“I will always be remembered for that celebration. I don’t know if I like the picture though because people remember the celebration more than the goal!

“When you score a goal, especially an important one like that, the feelings rise up and you’ve got no control over yourself.

“That’s what football is all about. You never know what’s going to happen next. I used to say I would never do it again but you never know. If you score an important winning goal again in the last minute you might just do it.”

At the venerable age of 35, Giggs remains a key figure in United’s assault on the Quadruple.

He has spent more than 20 years at Old Trafford and his PFA award from his fellow pros is a fitting tribute to a magnificent career.

The Welshman — who could make his 800th appearance for United tomorrow night — is feared by defenders as much as when he carved his way past those hapless Gunners so long ago it was in the last century!

Giggs has cut out the booze, improved his diet and taken to yoga to keep himself in such good shape. There is no sign of him hanging up his boots and why should he when his manager is still picking him?

To think six years ago the United fans were on his back telling him he was past it.

Giggs added: “I remember back in 2003 I was getting a bit of stick and that wasn’t enjoyable.

“It was the first time I’d experienced it, so to win the league and end the season so strong was pleasing for me. It meant I’d got through it.

“Since I turned 30 I’ve been more consistent. During my 20s the odd game I played probably better than I do now but consistently, over the season, I’ve got better the older I’ve got.

“I’ve had to make some sacrifices — diet, alcohol, yoga. I was missing a lot of games through hamstring injuries then.

“It helps that I’m not as quick as I used to be so I’m not getting those hamstring injuries any more and I don’t play as many games.

“Yoga has definitely helped with my hamstrings and also how I feel. I feel good after games and fresh during games.”

The new players continually arriving at Old Trafford also spur Giggs on.

He said: “You get inspired by seeing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and all the younger players coming through. This season it’s been Rafael.

“When I’m playing against Rafael in training and he’s bombing past me, you’ve got to do something about it. It’s not nice but you’ve got to raise your game.

“You know your career is coming to an end and that you’ve got to make the most of it.

“Then there’s the manager’s desire, the constant difficulties of playing for Manchester United and the different challenges that it brings each season.

“When I first came into the team Eric Cantona and Roy Keane had a big influence on me.

“You would see Roy and the manager and you would see the hunger. And you would look at Eric and how he looked after himself during the season. You admire different players for different reasons.”

While Cantona and Keane are long departed, Giggs goes on, trying to make United the first team ever to retain the Champions League trophy. He said: “It is a massive challenge for us. There’s a reason why no team has ever retained it — and that’s because it’s really difficult.

“We had to go to Porto in the quarter-finals when it was a case of backs against the wall against a very good team.

“But we came through and we need two similar performances against Arsenal because they’re playing well at the moment.

“Arsenal can pass any team off the park if you’re not on your game. They are a dangerous side, so we’ve got to be mentally and physically prepared and we’ve got to play well.

“I’ve got to be honest, if you’d asked me when I was 19 or 20 if I thought I’d be playing in a Champions League semi-final at 35, I’d have said no.

“But I look after myself and it helps when you’ve got such good players around you.”

Vid’s the top Man

MANU ADEBAYOR claims Nemanja Vidic is the toughest defender he has met.

The Arsenal striker and Manchester United hardman clash at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Adebayor said of the Serb: “Vidic is the toughest I have played against.

“He is very good and knows how to handle strikers.

“He is ready to give his life for Manchester United and is very, very strong.

“He is absolutely top-class because he saves a lot of goals but also scores a lot.”

I can win my Spurs

MICHAEL CARRICK hopes he can cheer up his old Spurs mates tomorrow by ending the Champions League dreams of old rivals Arsenal.

The Manchester United star was at the centre of the penalty controversy as his team stormed back to beat Spurs 5-2 on Saturday.

But Carrick said: “Being a former Spurs player I suppose I’m coming up against the old enemy in Arsenal.

“I know my pals at Spurs want us to win. They’ll be watching on TV and hoping United win.”

Ferdinand is up to speed

RIO FERDINAND admits Manchester United must be on their ‘A-game’ to deal with Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Old Trafford centre-back, 30, speaking at the launch of his new mag #5, said: “Theo could be a sprinter. He’s one of the quickest I’ve ever faced.

“Playing against Adebayor is a challenge, too.

“He’s quick, he’s got good movement and is strong so we’ll have to be on our A-game to make sure we combat him.

“But we’re ready for them and everyone else in an Arsenal strip.

“They’ll be two great games. Two English teams vying to get into the Champions League final, you can’t ask for much more.”

Rafael plays his way to new deal

RAFAEL has agreed a two-year contract extension at Manchester United.

The Brazilian right-back is now tied to the Premier League champions until 2013.

Rafael, 18, has made 24 appearances for United this season and boss Alex Ferguson claims the new deal is a reward for his rapid progress.

United boss Fergie said: "Everyone at the club has been very impressed and excited by his first year as a professional.

"His enthusiasm and the adventurous way he plays is typical of a Manchester United player.

"We are delighted he has signed a new contract."

Rafael added: "It has been a fantastic first year and I have learned from all the players at the club.

"It has been an exciting time for me and I want to be part of this for a long time so to get an extension is unbelievable."

Giggs wins PFA player of the year

RYAN GIGGS was last night named PFA Player of the Year - while Wayne Rooney failed to even make the Premier League select XI.

Wales midfielder Giggs, 35, pipped four Manchester United team-mates and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard - despite starting only 12 league games this season.

Giggs - chasing Quadruple glory for United - said: “I won two Young Player awards but this one is the big one.

"It’s arguably the best individual award you can get because it is voted for by your fellow players."

The winger-turned-playmaker added: “It is an exciting season. It’s going down to the wire and it is big game after big game and that’s what you want at a club like United.

“A lot of credit must go to Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been a massive influence in my career. I first met him when I was 13 and our relationship is brilliant.”

Aston Villa's England winger Ashley Young landed the Young Player of the Year award.

But United had six players in the best XI - four defenders, plus Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rooney, though, lost out up front to Nicolas Anelka and Fernando Torres.

Premier League team of the year: Edwin Van der Sar, Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Ashley Young, Steven Gerrard, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nicolas Anelka, Fernando Torres.

Wayne: We're in Roo-d health

WAYNE ROONEY says Manchester United’s destruction of Spurs has set them up to do the same to Arsenal.

The Reds take on the Gunners on Wednesday at Old Trafford in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

And after coming back from two goals down to win 5-2 on Saturday, Rooney believes they will be bouncing into that game full of confidence.

He said: “It was very important to win and stay top of the league by a margin. It gives us belief and confidence ahead of the midweek game.”

Carlos Tevez might just have played himself into the starting line-up for Wednesday’s game after his injection at half-time gave the team new energy. Boss Alex Ferguson said: “Tevez was responsible for that energy we had in the second half. He got the fans and the team going.”

Rooney: Title is ours to lose

WAYNE ROONEY claims the Premier League trophy is Manchester United’s to lose following their stunning 5-2 win over Tottenham.

United trailed at the break, before a second half blitz of five goals in 22 minutes sealed the win.

Liverpool had briefly gone top with a 3-1 win over Hull earlier, but with a three-point cushion and a game in hand, Rooney admitted the club was confident of the title.

He said: "We know we’re in a great position. We have to take advantage of that game in hand. We’ve got five games left and it’s ours to throw away.

“It was very important to win today and stay top of the league by a margin. It gives us belief and confidence ahead of the midweek game.

“It was a brilliant comeback. The first half was too slow and we had to quicken up. We knew once we got that first goal we’d have a chance and in the end it was quite comfortable.”

Boss Alex Ferguson hailed the impact of second half substitute Carlos Tevez, a player he fears he will lose in the summer.

He said: "We were too slow, too casual in the first half. We needed to speed up in the second half and Tevez was responsible for that. He got the rest of the team playing.

“We had to get the first goal quite early. It wasn’t a foregone conclusion after that by any means but it gave us impetus.”

Ferguson also admitted United had been lucky to be awarded a penalty for their first goal, which Ronaldo scored, as Heurelho Gomes appeared to get a hand on the ball before colliding with Michael Carrick.

He added: “It was a bit fortunate. Football is funny like that. Last week we were knocked out of the FA Cup by not getting a penalty kick.

"It doesn’t deflect from our second-half performance.”

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp was furious however, blasting referee Howard Webb for a “terrible decision”.<

He raged: “The turning point was definitely the penalty. It turned the game in their favour without a doubt.

“At that stage I couldn’t see us getting beat. It was a gift which wasn’t deserved. It was a terrible decision. It’s a great bit of goalkeeping, he’s got to the ball.

“Howard is supposed to be our best ref, but if he’s the best I’d hate to see the worst.”

“We conceded bad goals after that. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves. You’ve got to be strong and get on with it and you can’t concede goals like that just because you feel hard done by.”

Red Devils 5-2 Spurs

MANCHESTER UNITED staged a sensational second-half fightback against Tottenham to move a step closer to reclaiming the Premier League title.

Darren Bent and Luka Modric had fired Spurs into a 2-0 lead at the break, giving Rafa Benitez’s title chasing Liverpool renewed hope.

But the game swung on 57 minutes, when Heurelho Gomes was adjudged to have brought down Michael Carrick by referee Howard Webb.

The decision was a shocker, but Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t care, slotting home from the spot to start the comeback.

Wayne Rooney then kicked into overdrive, firing home twice either side of a second for Ronaldo in a four-minute blitz.

Dimitar Berbatov then prodded home No5 for the home side, to complete an amazing turnaround against his former club.

And with his side now three points clear with a game in hand, Alex Ferguson must surely know his 23rd season will end with his hands on the league championship trophy for the 11th time.

Aaron Lennon started out well, with some probing runs down the right causing problems for the United defence.

The first genuine chance came from the nippy winger, with Bent heading a cross straight at Edwin Van der Sar at the near post.

Spurs were getting physical, with some crunching tackles from Palacios and Jenas in the midfield.

As a result Ronaldo had a sighter at goal from a free kick, the Portuguese star claiming a handball in the wall.

But his appeals were turned down, and soon after Tottenham opened the scoring on 29 minutes courtesy of Bent.

TURNING POINT ... Michael Carrick goes down

Lennon powered down the right, before his ball back saw Vedran Corluka curl the ball in from a deeper position.

England striker Bent fluffed his headed first attempt, but the ball dropped kindly for him to thrash home from inside six yards.

Worse was to follow for United four minutes later when Lennon swung over another cross from the same flank, this time beyond all the United defenders.

Modric was free to chest the ball down, before stabbing home at the near post.

The visiting fans were almost as stunned as their hosts given Tottenham have not won a league game at Old Trafford since 1989.

Gomes was then called into action three times before the break, as Ferguson’s men looked to get back into the game.

The Brazilian got behind Rafael’s long-range effort, before producing a fine stop from Ronaldo.

Jonathan Woodgate was booked for a foul on the winger, whose free-kick cannoned back off the Spurs wall.

Ronaldo then unleashed a lob towards the top corner, only for Gomes to claw the ball out.

The stopper was also equal to a powerful shot from Rooney before Jermaine Jenas was booked for a foul on Darren Fletcher.

Ferguson introduced Carlos Tevez for Nani at the interval, but it was an intervention from referee Webb that got his side back into the game.

Amid the pandemonium that followed his penalty decison, Ronaldo kept his head to score from the spot.

Tevez then made his first contribution 10 minutes later, setting up Rooney for the equaliser with a flicked pass.

The England striker cut inside before shooting low and beating Gomes at his near post.

Within a minute, United were in front, Rooney this time providing the cross which a diving Ronaldo headed in.

United were not finished as Ronaldo picked out Rooney with a far-post cross.

The England striker beat Gomes but it seemed Woodgate would clear only for the defender to drag the ball over the line as he slid in to block.

United's fifth arrived 11 minutes from time, Rooney providing the cross this time for former Spurs hitman Berbatov to finish.

The Bulgarian belted home after Gomes had stopped his initial header and then got in a tangle with Jenas.

United Hold On Talks With KaKa....

Manchester United have held talks with Brazil and AC Milan star Kaka over a sensational summer move to Old Trafford.

According to reports in The Sun newspaper, the Premier League giants have already met with Kaka's representatives in a bid to thrash out personal terms which would net the talented playmaker some 35million pounds in wages alone.

"It was a very positive meeting, although nothing was agreed," a source close to Kaka told the paper.

"The player wants a five-year contract and wages of £135,000 a week.

"He is very keen to join United and these are figures that are within United's pay structure. It's up to them what happens now."

With AC Milan expected to demand a transfer fee in the region of 70million pounds for Kaka, there is, however, some confusion as to where United would get the necessary money from.

One solution would be the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, something that, according to former Real president Ramon Calderon, is as good as a done deal.

Kaka, who was the subject of an audacious mega-money approach by Manchester City during January's transfer window, has made no secret of his admiration for United and said recently: "They have some great players in Giggs and Scholes and especially Wayne Rooney.

"One of my best friends, Anderson, is also there - how can anyone say no?

"They are the English and European champions and a great club to play for."

The Brasilia-born former Sao Paulo ace has also revealed his desire to one day play in the Barclays Premier League - a league he views as being one of the world's most competitive.

"I like the Premier League a lot, so maybe that would be my choice if I leave Milan," the 27-year-old told the Daily Star newspaper.

"Whenever I can, I try to swap experiences with my friends playing in other countries and leagues.

"All the players that I've talked to that play in the Premier League, or used to play there, say it's a tough league - tough, very fast and competitive."

Taste Of 18....... :)

Beer,Wine,Vodka
taste of taste
different with every gulp

Say
thats illegal
your not 21 yet at all

But
that it not right
you make no sense

My
friend who is 18
is allowed to go join the army

Allowed
to die for his country
yet not allowed to have a drink

That is preposterous!
That is unjust!

Don't
look at us that way
and maybe we will have something great to say one day

and you will sit and listen
for the first time

Friends..

I remember the days
Along time ago
We were just friends
But little did we know

Best friends
Is what we became
From that point on
Things were never the same

Fun times
And crazy nights
Many things said
And just a few fights

Secrets shared
And tears shed
Memories made
And nothing said


Girls in our lives
And not enough time
Girls soon gone
And it's the same old rhyme

But no matter what happens
We'll always be friends
And get through it all
Right till the end

This I promise
Till the day I die
Your my best friend
And that isn't a lie.

Because Really You Only Need You

Beauty inspires without trying
Warmth touches without knowing
Your gift shines on us all
Brings both to us from afar

Splendor just below the surface
Love waiting for a chance
Lucky to be in your path
The one that becomes your man

Your thoughts caress my life
Bringing light to my dark
For all that you've given me
You have a place in my heart

cuddles...

Looking out across the vast ocean
I wonder what you are doing
I tell the wind to find you
And whisper gently in you ear
That I am thinking about you

Looking up at the star covered sky
I know that you are sound asleep
I tell the moon to find you
And watch over you as you dream
A dream that keeps you warm at night

In the morning the birds sing
As the tide retreats to where it came
I tell the sun to wake you gently
Brush your hair from your eyes
With a warm gentle hand

I hope each day that you wake
Is happier than the day before
The sun warms you, the wind cools you
The ocean calms your inner storm
As I send all my cuddles from the other shore

broken heart....

Quoi d'autre ?..... l'amour de ma vie m'a laissé ..... .... il est banal, mais si j'ai vraiment écrit un goodie .. il n'aurait eu aucune fin.

Il ya un an, vous avez tous des mines,
Ton coeur, ton âme, il était divin.
Vous avez dit à moi dans tous les sens,
Je fais chaque jour Valentines Day.
Un an est passé, maintenant, vous n'êtes pas ici,
Vous êtes allé pour de bon, ma plus grande peur.
J'aimerais bien savoir exactement ce à dire,
Afin de vous avoir ici, et dire que vous rester.
Essayez de chercher votre esprit et de voir,
Le temps nous avons eu, et ce qui pouvait l'être.
Donc, je suis assis ici, où dois-je commencer?
Pour tenter de réparer mon coeur brisé.

Musique

La musique court par notre sang et nous courons après lui. Nous cherchons de petits cafés-restaurants et les
petites librairies. Les amateurs à une nuit de mic ouverte avec les paroles et nous lèche n'a jamais entendu.

Les airs faits au hasard jouent par notre cabine et hors sur la porche. Une unité de l'heure à Nashville où
les chansons et les voix naissantes sont disponibles sur chaque coin. Un monde différent en bas la route.

Je suis arrivé sur ce Papa d'audience de terre chante les airs de spectacle et chantonnant à mes temps fiévreux « Vous ne Sont
pas malade que vous êtes juste dans l'amour ». Vous avez écouté Frank Sanatra et Dean Martin et avez regardé votre danse de
maman autour de la cuisine.

Les ballades et la Grande Bande, le Reggae et le Rock and Roll. Nous rions ensemble aux crochets dans la musique country et nous formons notre propre : « Il doit
y avoir deux de moi ‹ cause je suis à côté de me ». Nous continuons à jouer dans l'harmonie par le rythme et le silence de nos jours.

cuisines...

From hand to mouth, the good food will be traveling down south.


Oh how I love true,
down my throat I shove you.
You are my love,
as well as my hate drove.
Resisting you is futile,
on my face you put a smile.



This love affair must break,
first let me eat the last cake.
The last cake was yesterday,
everyday seems like a birthday.
On I keep eating,
all this good food is self-defeating.



This is a setup,
my resistance has gone corrupt.
The more I resist,
the more you insist.
You got me going,
even though I know what I'm doing.



Or do I,
each day I bearly get by?
To me it's eat or defy,
surely I find you hard to deny.
Just like sex,
you have me in a hex.



Sex was God fixed,
together appetite is so mixed.
We never have a chance,
lifes a good and bad romance.
Until the very end,
there's hardly no dividend.



Chomp!

i love to be alone

I did not see it, therefore it did not happen.
I did not see the death of one.
I did not witness the extermination of millions.
I did not write the history, therefore it is false.
I will not believe what I did not write.

I did not sanction a soldier to die for me; I am free by my own accord.
I do not see the sacrifice of millions or feel the pain of their suffering.
I did not cry for lost.
I will not cry for those I did not know.
I did not hear it, therefore it did not occur.

I need not be grateful for those who came before me.
I need not be grateful to those who greeted me with freedom.
I need no one to guide me through life.
I ask no one for help with the inequities of living.
I will not acknowledge the assistance for the free way of thinking I enjoy.
I did not ask for help, therefore I am myself.

I am me.
I am not lonely.
I need no one for help or love.
I love nothing for there is nothing to love.
I am not emotional, therefore I need no one.

I am isolated from humanity.
I am isolated from myself.
I therefore am not allowing myself to feel.
I will not feel for those who died before me.
I will not grieve for the sacrifice others have made for me.
I will remain lonely.
