Yes LM but every story / video is balanced to one side or the other but we only have what exists and I think it adds value to the story of what happened. I am not supporting Israel as pretty much everything they do seems to be aimed at causing conflict; in terms of the soldiers actions I just thought the footage would clear up some misunderstanding if there was any that it was akin to paratroopers landing at the drop of night and shooting people dead in their beds.

What is your point northlondoner?

Perhaps the Israeli high command were well aware of the likely outcome of their strategy in boarding the lead ship - but having seen this footage of the welcoming party I am not surprised it turned into a bloodbath :

It used to be the case a WC was a maximum of 22 players and I believe it was extended to 23 to ensure teams took 3 goalkeepers as if memory serves me correct there were occasions when only 2 goalkeepers were taken on 22 squad basis. Perhaps as part of the squad increase FIFA made it a rule of at least 3 goalkeepers.

I think it is a mistake not having an extra man who can play upfront. England were exposed 4 years ago with only 4 strikers and strikers always seem to be the ones who get injured due to how they are targetted.

Ah I see the Chinese have come out and condemned Israel - "We were shocked by the Israeli attack which led to severe casualties and condemn it," which is a refreshing change from a few days ago when the same Foriegn Ministry spokesman said of the recent North Korea torpedo sinking, "The issue is highly complicated. China does not have firsthand information. We are looking at the information from all sides in a prudent manner,"

thanks KK that is a very good point for me to consider

I suspect these Lib Dems simply failed to get their house in order because they never thought they'd get into power and face the scrutiny that comes with government office. What both have done is just plain wrong however which way they want to dress it all up.

I want to brick up a back window and maybe replace it with a small slot window plus 1 or 2 extractor fans to still allow light into a room that I want to convert into a bathroom. Do I need approval from council for this kind of work?

Perhaps Labour should have put Campbell up instead of Jack Straw when they had Nick Griffin of BNP on Question Time

I watched a few England games at last WC in CPT lounge and that was pretty good if you tire of being on tip toes at EDT

Fash the Bash upfront then ..and surely a place for Carlton Palmer in central midfield, with Ray Parlour on the right flank

This is my list of world class players going to WC for thes 4 countries: - England: Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, A.Cole Argentina: Messi, Tevez, Mascherano Brazil: - Robinho, Kaka Spain: Xavi, Iniesta, Torres, Reina, Casillas

Apparently the best sleep is in a hot bath with bunsen burners underneath each end (cast iron of course rather than plastic) to keep water at right temperature but they say you should use a sponge as a pillow

The grounds on which Heskey should be selected is as a physical decoy - plus he is a workhorse who makes it difficult for opposition to play football from the back unlike Crouch (too slow) or Defoe (too lazy) or Walcott (who is one trip over his shoelaces away from injury).

With Italian commentary..

Recently I had a virus attack and I restarted it in safemode (press F8 on restart til it gives option). I was then given option of which date on wanted to restore my PC to and that seems to have fixed my problem.

Barry won't make much difference in the final reckoning imo My starting XI for USA: - James - G.Johnson, Rio, Terry, Cole - Lennon, Gerrard, Lampard, Milner - Rooney, Heskey

England outclassed by Mexico during first half although Mexico usually hold their own against the top South American countries. Maybe winning 3-1 should not be underestimated in terms of a win is a win but the football played says same old England for WC. Great Nike WC advert (notice Rooney/Walcott wearing Umbro whilst other non Nike shirts have been blanked on Drogba/Ribery)

Bloody hell, has it come to that we have to trade in the Nou Camp for bloody Blackpool ;-)

Crikey is this a wind up!? Who the hell is really going to trade London for Lagos when the money is just okay? As for armed escorts home I think that you gives you an idea of the environment on offer.

Batter the little bastards with this might help!

I don't like any Ref who has a draw full of PL medals

Michael Owen WC 1998 goal against Argentina or maybe... David Platt last gasp winner against Belgium WC 1990

I'd prefer to see the Union Jack - then you get rest of country on board for WC
