    Sad that coming 4th is whatr counts as an achievement for Arsenal these days.......

    Totally agree, especially after seeing Chelsea win their 11th trophy in 10 years. Quite nice knocking Totteringham out of Champions League though.

    Maybe if she'd really cared about the Falklanders as British citizens she wouldn't have given them second-class citizenship under the 1981 Nationality Act or planned the withdrawal of the last of the Antarctic supply vessels as part of a money-saving scheme when there was a clearly unstable and belligerent state just across the water.

    Exactly.

    If her government gave a damn about the Falkland Islanders they would have had more than a handful of Marines to defend their land to stop the invasion in the first place. She knew the Argentinians were rattling their sabres yet the invasion took place on her watch. The "war" was an election winner.

    Whatever people here have to say about Thatcher, bad or good, the fact that millions was spent on British taxpayers money to hold that state funeral whilst the disabled have their benefit lifelines cut, young children cannot find a junior school because the schools have been closed, where patients are dying in hospitals because of staff and budget cuts and not illness, and where whole families are being made homeless because of the recession, is an absolute disgrace. They should have made her multi-millionaire family bury her at their cost, not ours.

    She went to war because Argentina invaded a British overseas territory and she wasn't going to abandon British citizens and I support that. The Odds were actually stacked against Britain winning that war.

    My goodness, you actually believe the Thatcher rhetoric about going to war to defend sovereign territory? So if she cared so much about abandoning British citizens, how come the disfigured and disabled soldiers and sailors after fighting for us in the Falklands were wheeled out of sight and forgotten? It was for an election victory my friend and the way those soldiers and sailors were kept at the back of the memorial service and out of camera shot underlines that fact.

    Prayers, ceremony, and messages from a Bishop should have had nothing to do with the funeral of a politician who went to war to win an election, who stripped employment from thousands of steelworkers and miners and their families, and whose celebration of the money markets saw her living in a multi-million pound mansion and dying in the Ritz hotel. Families are becoming homeless in triple-dip recession Britain, and we go and spend 10 million on a politicians state funeral.

    So, according to Japan Today, some stupid TV show made an uneducated and cheap programme attempting to rank national stereotyping in how to lie, and this suddenly becomes the "world liar rankings" and worthy of publishing as such?

    I guarantee that the British are far more likely to lie to you than the Japanese, who regard telling a lie as shameful. And I'm British.

    Aggressive race. At war with each other and wanting war with Japan. Fortunately, since 1945 the Japanese have learnt the art of diplomacy and non-aggression.

    Why am I not surprised? Korea is split in two with a dividing wall because of Korean aggression and hatred. Even against each other. At least the Japanese live reasonably peacefully with each other. How many other nationalities still have a dividing wall between warring compatriots?

    So, let's get this straight. The Koreans are currently occupying these islands taken by force under cover of the US support for South Korea during the Korean War and without independent official international ratification, to which the Japanese have objected, and the Koreans are upset at how the Japanese wish to portray these islands in their own Japanese textbooks? So the Koreans not only want to occupy the islands without ratification, but they want the Japanese to recognise that occupation in Japanese textbooks! Maybe the Koreans also want the Japanese to send them a crate of champagne every year on the anniversary of the occupation.....

    Tamarama makes the point exactly. This is not about who was driving fastest on lap 40 or whatever. Both Webber and Hamilton followed team orders earlier by slowing down and pacing their tyres and fuel consumption. So how would that be fair, after one team member follows orders and slows the pace, to then be caught and overtaken by their colleague? Vettel and Rosberg only got themselves in those positions because Webber and Hamilton followed orders.

    Disguised the fact that Webber took Alonso's front wing off on the 2nd lap. Alonso's wing had been slightly damaged on lap 1 but Webber completed the job. Nobody noticed it.

    South Korea still retains the gold medal in baseball, but these guys are now the champs as far as the WBC goes.

    ? The Dominican Republic are the champions period. The Koreans are not on the same planet as them.

    Congratulations to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Also to Japan and the Netherlands.

    Ah,ha,ha,ha! Those Koreans certainly have a knack for remembering ancient history and dragging it back up years later. Where did they finish in this years WBC...??

    "Ken Maeda" -- who he?

    Maeda is a top pitcher in the Japanese leagues. He gave up 1 run against the likes of Molina, Beltran and Rios and was only taken off because of the strict pitch count rule in the WBC (he pitched 80). Puerto Rico may only have scored 1 run if Maeda was kept on as he had got into his rhythm (I see there has not been much criticism of Nohmi despite getting hit for a 2 run homer and pulled early).

    Bizarre isn't it. Japan didn't make the WBC final for only the first time in 3 years although reaching the semi-final, yet nobody says a word about big-time failures the US and Korea. Puerto Rico were a better team than Japan (and it showed) but, as answering his own question in the post above, they included all their big league powerhouses (Molina, Beltran, Rios - oh my goodness) while Ichiro, Darvish, Aoki and Kuroda did not take part. Japan even brought on Nohmi from the bullpen (even Tigers fans sit very uncomfortably when they see Nohmi on the mound).

    There is another argument above that Japanese players don't deserve to be joining the big leagues, but surely they should be ahead of any American or Korean players in that queue...

    Some of the fans saids Japanese baseball is rated "AAAA", but in reality, the caliber of their baseball is equivelent to barely "AA", if that. There are alot of top "AA" and "AAA" teams in the U.S. that will be very competitive and probably can beat any of the Japanese teams. There aren't too many Japanese players that can hit the ball out of San Diego or AT&T Park. They are bunch of dribbler single hitters and overated by far.

    So if Japan are a "AA" team (your quote not mine) then the USA must be high school league and Korea little league. I didn't see the US progress to the semi-final matchup and Korea didn't even make the playoff round. If there are "a lot of AA and AAA teams in the US that can beat any of the Japanese teams" how come the US national representative team finished behind Japan yet again in the WBC? Puerto Rico were the better team, but Japan are still the 3rd best team in this years WBC with the Netherlands ahead of the US and Korea.

    The financial might of the English Premier League with Sky TV scares the likes of FIFA and UEFA and FIFA and UEFA are unhappy with the patronising English attitude of inventing the game, although that is no excuse for bias and fixing.

    Leading up to Heysel English clubs totally dominated the European Cup winning 8 of the previous 9. So instead of imposing a ban on Liverpool they imposed a 5 year ban on all English clubs. When English fans have been murdered at games abroad, have those clubs been banned for 5 years? Do any of the racist Italian fans get their clubs banned despite repeated abuse? The Italian league has been found guilty of complicit match-fixing on more than one occasion, have they ever placed a European ban on Italian clubs?
