Joey Barton felt the need to weigh in on the tributes that have been raining down on Ryan Giggs on the Welshman's 40th birthday. The firebrand QPR midfielder started off by admiring the Methuselah like longevity of Giggs' career before bringing up the Manchester United midfielder's personal life.
Giggs has done unbelievable to get to 40. Still a vital player for United. Some career he's had.The British Paolo Maldini. #legend

Still can't have him for getting up his brothers bird though. Great player but can't be doing that. No matter how much of a top player he is

Respect him as a player. But as a man, you don't do that to your own. He's a wrongun in my book.
