24 MINS AGO - Giggs faces media after dismissal of former boss David Moyes And feel free to email michael.butler@theguardian.com Or you can tweet him @michaelbutler18 9.54am BST "I've humbled to work at this club. It will be difficult for Ryan, he's always been one of the lads. But he's got the respect of the players, he's got that twinkle in his eye. But you do have to have that distance as a manager." 9.53am BST Here's a few more snips ... 9.51am BST 'Giggs must be slightly tempted to pick himself given he has scored in every Premier League season thus far. He might come on to take a pen if one is awarded.'Maybe if they are 4-0 up in one of their games, but I expect that record isn't that important to him. He's got a few. 9.45am BST Just to reiterate, all these quotes are from an exclusive MUTV interview this morning, not the press conference which is due to start at 10am. 9.44am BST "I've had great support from the fans, staff and the players. And I'm very grateful." 9.43am Collapse

12 HRS AGO - Astaire's tap dancing? Zidane's sublime passing? Thurman's stylish acting? Let inspiration leap and vote with your feet in this week's song themeFeet are too often the overburdened, ugly cousins of hands. We stand on them. We batter them against the ground. We encase them in tight leather or plastic. And yet they are capable of extraordinary skill and dexterity. And often beauty too, because they are a primeval expression and connection between music and the unconscious. First they might twitch a little, then tap along, and then spring into life into extraordinary movement in dance, so it is no wonder that there are so many songs about, or featuring, feet.How big should feet be? For centuries, Chinese women were oppressed with the tradition of feet binding, because it was believed that smaller the were, the better a cruelty described most famously in Jung Chang's Wild Swans. But at the other end of the scale there are the famous size 11s of the glamorous Uma Thurman, here twitching Collapse

Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend | Scott Murray & Toby Moses
1 HR AGO - Norwich bidding to spoil Ryan Giggs's Manchester United party, a classic José Mourinho Expand
1 HR AGO - Norwich bidding to spoil Ryan Giggs's Manchester United party, a classic José Mourinho snatch-and-grab at Liverpool and a battle of the league's most put-upon goalkeepers at SunderlandPoor old Norwich City, desperate for points, and facing a preposterous run-in: Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal. It couldn't get any worse. Except, yes, yes it could. Because they now travel to United with the home team feeling good about themselves pretty much for the first time in a season. The home fans want a show, and Ryan Giggs wants a job, so the players have been ordered to rediscover their lust for life and ping it about accordingly, in the time-honoured United way. Given that Norwich have picked up fewer points on the road than any other side, they seem ill equipped to poop this particular party. Unless, unless. United haven't responded particularly well to hard, relentless pressing this season, and Norwich managed to put the wind up Liverpool last weekend by doing exactly that. Collapse
