As soon as Giggs hit that ball and you saw who it was going to you were already celebrating. What a hero.
 
I said it in another thread. One of his best strengths is his ability to peel off of defenders, but we don't play often enough against teams mental enough to push up the field to see it.

Fortunately for us today West Ham were stupid enough to do it and we scored a great goal.
 
That first touch, in his stride was incredible. Not sure if anyone other than Messi could take a touch like that and finish like that. Brilliant player.
 
I was talking to my dad a few minutes ago, and despite saying it before , we agreed upon a conclusion again. What an absolute steal it was for 24 million! It feels like we should of paid nearly double.

My dad wants me to say " Arsene Wenger: You watching this?"
Suppose he's right, Wenger must be pissed.
 
I loved Ronaldo when he was here (and still do, to be fair) but I don't ever recall being this bowled over by a United player before in my lifetime.

Maybe I was too young to fully appreciate Robson, Cantona et al, but feck me, Robin van Persie is an exquisite footballer. One of the best pieces of business this club has ever done, without doubt.
 
That first touch was insane, to take a ball down from that distance on the run while manoeuvring yourself beyond the marker is just madness.
 
Not much left to say about him. He's excellent at football, not sure if anyone's noticed that.
 
What a fecking player this man is. On his way to becoming a United legend
 
That's the best United goal I've seen in years.

Genuinely.

It was just utter fecking class - wow. Words fail me... my favourite player at United hands down at the moment. Question is where does he fit on the world scale now? best player in the premiership for me.. can't wait to see him against Real.
 
Better than Ronaldo in 2007-2008 season? Statistically about the same, but RVP is scoring even more important goals, and is far more effective (percentages of shots converted into goals). Also, his link up play IMO is better.
