Giggsy

Ben (Benglorious): Sunderland are the only team in the Premiership that use the full “A.F.C.” in their name.  Apart from Arsenal when they shorten their name and say the whole thing as an acronym.  Or Aston Villa when they both acronym (verb?) their name and drop the “Villa” bit.  And West Bromwich Albion when they […]

Whoever the new Louis van Gaal is, I really hope they make Giggsy their number two. The Moyes toll taken on the players was visibly lifted and, well, it’s obvious why. Keeping Scholesy and Bicky Nutt involved in some capacity would again serve the new Louis van Gaal very well – whoever the board choose […]

Ben (Benglorious): The season was over for us long ago, so I still have no idea why I have to write these things.  It’s not like anything momentous has happened at Old Trafford this week…………………………………………………………….. HA!  You were expecting my phone to ring there, but the joke’s on you:  I’ve actually been keeping abreast of […]

Ben (Benglorious): Champions League quarter finals, eh?  Whodathunkit after the season we’ve had, eh?  Hang on…  Why are they called ‘quarter finals’ anyway?  Do the matches only last twenty-two and a half minutes or are we only allowed two and three-quarter players on the pitch?  I suppose nobody will ever know. I did some research […]

S’pose there’s no real harm in settling for the Charity Shield in your first year in charge. Well done! If we’re laughing at the referees, then someone needs to tell our collective face. There can be no excuse with regards to injuries, because that wouldn’t have been too far off the kind of team Moyes […]

Here we are again … simply enjoying another wonderful Christmas song!

I was in bits at the opening sequence. I managed to just about hold it together for the rest. I fell in love with Eric more (even more)(I didn’t think it was possible, either). And much goosebumps ensued. Do you like being wrong? I like being wrong. Do you like being wrong? I like being […]

To coincide with the release of the new Class of ’92 documentary film (@classof92film, Class of ’92 DVD) we’re taking six familiar faces, with six all too familiar names to Canvey Island: Giggsy, Scholesy, Butty, Phily, Gary-y and Becky. What?! For this special trip, our Canvey Island family will be sharing the song that defined 1992 […]

I was thinking: why don’t we try something crazEE this week, hey?! Go with me here guys … Why don’t we play Kags, right, Kags, yeah … in the hole, and I don’t know, try and WIN a game. As opposed to not playing Kags in the hole and losing a game. Just an idea. […]

As we’re (I’m) asking questions: who was it who said, Sometimes when you think a game will be one way, it’s another. Obviously someone with the massivist football brain … oh, that was me, before this game. Who’d have thought freeing Shinji again, would prove to be such a progressive move again? Are there actually any […]
