The polls for those positions have now been closed, but you can still post in the threads if you want.

You know the drill by now, vote for the greatest Left Midfielder in the history of the Premier League, based on the ESPN shortlist.

Please.

Ryan Giggs Ryan Giggs running down the wing.

Bale and Silva are two great players, and I would love to vote for Robben, Duff, Pires or Overmars (especally Overmars) but Giggs so hard you forget he cheated on his wife recently.

Robben

 

[Sir Calumn]

Didn't want to vote for Giggs but had to I guess. Though actually I prefer Pires and think Pires during the invincible season was the best left winger the EPL has ever seen, but Giggs has just been at the top of his game for the league's entire existence!

Actually I half wish I could go back and change my vote to Pires just to be a ****.

Same, I've never seen such fanboyism from every commentator on the BBC about any other player. i seriously don't doubt that if any of them had to replace Imogen Thomas as Giggs' dirty love secret, it'd be the happiest day of their life! Doesn't help that Giggs is a self obsessed prick who believes himself to be the messiah, while everyone seems to think he's the "model professional" still.

 

[Help?]

How do you figure that? He always sounds very humble and quite

 

[Filipower]

I don't care if he's a prick, I'm not judging personalities here.

He carried on a long affair with his sister-in-law, for one.

It's more his on pitch persona, too me; he comes across as if he expects to gets fouls because he's Ryan Giggs and plays for Man Utd. Also the extra training with his wife's sister, while playing up too the model professional.

I don't care if he's a prick, I'm not judging personalities here.

I get that Fili, I was just expressing my feelings about him, as a winger I always felt he was over-rated but with how he's re-invented himself now his legs have gone is the sign of a truely class player.

Bring on the strikers and central midfielders. Should be interesting.
