The great debate
>>65677816
lol. not in the same category
>le epl babby vs GOAT pires
not really a debate
>>65677831
damn right, Pires >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Giggs
I rate pires
Pires was better at his peak but career wise there's no argument
Pires.
Giggs obviously lasted longer and was more consistent but if you're just arguing who was the "better player", Pires easily.
>>65677816
Pires was bang average m8
it's like Milner vs Neymar
Pires was good for only a few seasons.
Nedved better than both of them combined
Pires was the better footballer but Giggs was managed better
>>65677816
they both were very hairy
I always thought Pires was hard gay.
I always found the surname Pires to be cool as fuck
Pires v Overmars is more fun.
Fuck Giggs.
>>65677816
How is this even a debate? Giggs is the greatest player of the premier league era, scored the greatest ever goal in FA Cup history and won a zillion trophies. What did Pires do other than look gay?
>>65677816
>some welsh cunt with no eyebrows
>the french god of the left wing
hmmmm
Pires is shite la
>>65677816
Peak Pires was the superior player but Giggs was probably better for longer.
>>65678078
>What did Pires do
play football better than Giggs
>>65678078
Giggs was a glorified fergie workhorse who barely netted 100 goals in 10000000 seasons at united.
Pires was a world champion and an artist who nearly matched Giggs's tally in just 6 seasons.
>>65678078
pires was a jack of all trades master of none type winger tbph. not lightening fast, not overly good at going round players, not massively consistent with crosses. just above average at all 3.
Giggs: Overrated welsh cunt, scum of the earth who slept with his brothers wife
Pires: Homosexual french arsenal bitch who never won a champions league
Clearly Steve McManaman was the best.
>>65678112
You can't be serious. His burst of acceleration, close control, and ridiculous ability to score all kinds of goals from the left wing were his trademarks.
Always liked Pires tbqh
Pires was one of my favourite players to watch during the Invincibles era. I love this goal:

>>65678078
Giggs was barely in the top 5 at his club
>>65678125
just read that in an american accent and it sounds ridiculous tbqh. opinion thoroughly discarded.
>>65678078
>shout out to my nigga Giggs for scoring le ebin gaol in the Windows Vista Cup
Pires literally won the World Cup and the Euro m8
>>65678099
>Giggs was a glorified fergie workhorse
>being this fucking stupid
Giggs went past players for fun and had defenders on their arses on a regular basis.People like you are why no one takes american posters seriously when it comes to football.
>>65678122
Why do you care? None of them played for Shamrock Rovers.
Reminder that this happened
>>65678152
look at the team he was in, Giggs was welsh ffs in an era when wales were particularly bad
>>65678164
And Brits are delusional as fuck and should also never post
>>65678099
>nearly
he didn't come anywhere near it retard
Pires was better than Zidane.

>>65678194
>delusional
Giggs didn't go past players then?
>>65678092
I never saw Pires score a goal like the one Giggs did against arsenal
>>65678130
>invincibles
>they got beat several times
>>65678203
back to your containment thread with you
>trying to have a rationale debate about an arsenal player on a board that's infested with delusional JF arsenal bandwagoners
Giggs is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in english league history.
Pires is not.
>>65678212
>only fedora tippers on spuh will not acknowledge how impressive it is to go 49 league games unbeaten whilst playing some of the most cavalier and entertaining football in English history
Pires is white but Giggs is black
>>65678230
>trying to have a rational debate about an arsenal player on /sp/ that is full of ABA retards who think the clubs fan base is exclusively that cancerous eternal thread
>>65678208
>I never saw Pires score a goal like the one Giggs did against arsenal
>he's better because he scored a pretty goal this one time
>>65678234
>unironically letting Andy Van Der Meyde score on you
>>65678234
>Muh draws
it's really impressive m8
>>65678252
>unironically getting beat 5-1 at home and having to take off cannavaro because henry and pires were molesting him so hard
>>65678248
It proves what you are capable of and giggs was putting players on their arses with little more than a body swerve long before Pires came to the premier league
>>65678258
Kek I'm not inter fan, that match was glorious
>>65678255
36 wins and only 13 draws out of 49 games is pretty good going.
>>65678260
>More goals in 6/6 seasons
>More assists in 3/6 seasons
Pires > Giggs
>>65678288
>BUT MUH PLAYING FOR A GORILLIAN YEARS
There are United fans out there who would have you believe that he is better than true Premier League goats like Henry, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, Drogba, Aguero, Cantona etc. because he was still warming the bench at 40.
He was never close to being the best player in the league.
>>65678300
are you dump? or simple a retard?
>>65678300
>no Suarez
>no Gerrard
Shite list m8
Giggs is le longevity man. He is the Karl Malone of football.
While Pires is Charles Barkley.
>>65678443
Gerrard is down on the list m9. Vieira and Keane top dogs in that position.
>>65678300
This!
Same case as Totti case, or SlippyG case, or...
>Robert Emmanuel Pirès (born 29 October 1973) is a French footballer who is currently a free agent.
leicester should get him for the craic
or that danish team for their second leg against man united
>>65678300
>Ronaldo, Aguero and Drogba unironically on the list
>>65678509
Both Totti and Gerrard were considered among the best in the world during their peaks, and it had nothing to do with longevity
>>65678562
Not really true for Totti, lets face it. His modern day equivalent would be someone like Benzema.
>>65678555
>Ronaldo
>joint record holder for goals in 1 EPL season
>best player on a team that 3 peated in the league and won the CL
>Ballon d'Or winner while in the EPL
>84 EPL goals as a winger at the age of 24
>not a Premier League GOAT
good one
>>65677890
this
giggs was literally EPL zanetti...
>>65678580
>not even the same position
Bad try paddy
Giggs was average at best.
>>65678606
But I am an Italian too! I just happen to believe that Del Piero was FAR better than Shitti.
Also Roma a shit.
>>65678204
he's a fucking GOD
>>65678580
I laughed. This is some impressive bait.
Fucking Benzema man, I'm fucking dead.
Giggs was solid but seriously in terms of skill and talent, Pires shits all over him.
>le british players are all crap maymay
it's getting pretty boring now desu senpaitachi
>>65677816
How is this a debate? Pires easily.
>b-but Giggs spent so many seasons on MU's bench!
>tfw my united bandwagoning friend says that Giggs never winning the Ballon d'Or is a scandal that diminishes the prestige of this award
>>65678793
Henry not having ballon d'or over Owen totally dicredit this balel d'or
daily reminder pires was the player of the year in 01/02 but got injured near the end of the season and was never the same
>>65677841
This.
Pires was clearly the more talented of the two, but Giggs was better overall.
both were shit
