Ryan Giggs the puppet master in Manchester

Ryan Giggs continued to impressive form and pressence in Manchester on Wednesday night as Manchester United faced German Champions Wolfsburg at Old Trafford.

This was going to be an interesting encounter with neither team having met before and with both managers having to do a bit of homework on each other.

Ryan Giggs, the Manchester United midfielder was quick to respond to Wolfsburgs after when Dzeko scored after the 56 minute. The Welshman was on hand for a close freekick which after a possibly forced deflection sent the Wolfsburg goalkeeper in the other direction. With just 12 minutes remaining Giggs was indeed the puppet master who played Michael Carrick in beautifully to curl one home.

The result now means that Manchester United are now three points clear at the top of their Champions League group B whilst the man himself Ryan Giggs became only the ninth ever Manchester United player to surpass 150 United goals in his fantastic and ongoing career.

The best online bookmakers have not made many serious changes to the Champions League odds although they will possibly look to enhance the odds on AC Milan, whilst suffering to a home defeat to a well organised FC Zurich, Milan were poor and have been struggling for results recently. They are now 40/1 to win the competition with the favourites having not moved from their perch, Barcelona at 7/2.

Apart from the Milan upset there were no real surprises and we shall therefore only expect some major changes in the betting odds once the group stages enter their final furlong.

If Palin is a puppet, whose hand is up her back?

McCain keeps Palin on a short leash. She won’t be exposed to the press until absolutely necessary.

So, as she appears with McCain like some kind of ventriloquist’s dummy, just whose hand is up her back? McCain can’t raise his arms that high.

She’s not a puppet, she the hit man. She can say things he can’t because if anyone fights back she can just claim sexism. She is his sacrificial lamb because she’s got nothing to lose.
