For the past 5 days I've trawled nearly every article linked to this story and come to one simple conclusion. The consensus is overwhelming! Who cares! Nobody except, obviously his wife, family and closest friends.
To reiterate the World-view of the Worlds' media; "Go and find someone else to play with cause we don't want to play with someone like you any more. Oh! And take your ball with you, it's popped anyway....

I have to say that most of the tabloid press has really let us down, all of them except The Mirror, bravo to the Mirror for coming up with a puntastic headline. FOR SHAME THE SUN!

You obviously have too much time on your hands, wasting five days on this subject is an affair by a Footballer any of our business, how many of us can say, "I haven't strayed."

All this attention on Ryan Giggs, his wife has now stopped wearing her wedding ring, hope all the twits are happy.
