Naaaa, Wes was a bit shaky today, so was Mikky!, but over the season 
so far he has been excellent. Larry's few brief cameo appearances 
have been mini-disasters (which explains why they've been both few 
and brief!). However, I wouldn't be too adverse to seing how John O 
does alongside Rio. I think the kid's been a bit unlucky to be 
benched. But Wes will do for me too.

There was some booing as Giggsy warmed up but it wasn't aimed at him. 
There was some deadball situation going on down the pitch that had 
upset the crowd but the TV focused on Giggsy while the booing was 
going on. In fact, Ryan got a great reception today and I think he 
worked his socks off for 45 minutes and, more importantly, with some 
success. He's doing his best and today it was good enough. If nothing 
else, it enabled us to line up as 442 with two wingers (yes, I'm 
including you here, Becks!)

Giggsy tried hard today, but I certainly accept the point about Ruud, 
and I made the same point myself last week. He isn't sharp enough at 
the moment. He was great against Portsmouth with acres of space to 
hold the ball up in and winning headers all the time. But against 
better opposition, he is not nearly so successful. Desailly had a 
fairly easy time today taking care of Ruud but screwed up when Diego 
came on because we stopped lobbing useless balls upfield straight to 
the Chelsea defenders. Ruud's certainly having a more difficult time 
in the PL this season but he's still knocking them in in Europe ... 
for which we are truly grateful.

Anyway, at this particular moment, I feel well disposed to the world 
in general (except, City, Leeds, Liverpool, Arsenal, ... cont'd on 
p.93)
