I do as well. I've said for years that certain drugs could be properly manufactured, under strictly licensed conditions and then sold officially and taxed (as per alcohol, nicotine, caffeine) - if manufacturing of it was to strict guidelines, there is no reason why you couldn't buy weed or MDMA (maybe even others like coke) officially. I think you'd have to draw the line at really hardcore drugs though?? It'd stop a lot of crime (from importing, to dealing, to stealing to pay for is) - maybe that's my naive view, but I do believe that. It's about time the world got modern though. Weed in this country would be a great starting point. Although not a lover of the stuff myself, I have a couple of friends who smoke shed loads of the stuff, probably in comparable amounts to the amount of alcohol I consume. So what's the difference?

Couldn't agree more mate. I really hope we don't move away from the city centre, the experience would be horrendous on a match day - nothing better than jumping off the train, having a few beers in pubs on the way to the ground then getting to the ground easily and quickly. The whole "away from the town centre" experience is sh*t and I'm thankful we never got the ground at Stoneham for that reason!

Shut up, get out of your bedsit and get a life you dull repetitive pr*t.

Couldn't agree more. The nutter at the back bossing the defence and the tank in front of them looking after them. Had Wanyama been playing, that third goal wouldn't have been, simple as that. It's not the players fault, not the manager's fault; we are just missing two of our biggest players. I have to add that even Lovren looks worse without Wanyama helping out. (and that's not a dig at Lovren)

Whilst I can agree with the sentiment that "we would never get £8m for a 32 year old so we should bite their arm off", deep down I think it would tear most Saints fans apart to see him scoring for West Ham. It certainly would do me. I actually don't care if he's not quite as mobile. He still has a role to play on and off the pitch and overall he does still add something to the club. I hope that he retires/goes in to coaching with Saints.

F**king boring unfunny pr*ck.

He's ('Glasgow Saint') as funny as death. F**king boring pr*ck.
-
Does anyone actually know where Osvaldo has gone to? I presume he's the player with "personal problems"? Was good to see Ramirez looking a) up for it and b) scoring a cracking goal!
-
I think I must have watched at least 4 (maybe 5 now) films on exactly the same subject in recent years. Each with a different perspective, but each coming to same conclusion that the driver (forgotten his name, it wasn't Rolfe I don't think, he was the one trying to get in on it, but was a bit inept) was full of sh*t and not to be trusted. But your opinion isn't a bad one - could well be the case and why no one really knows what happened; apart from the super grass who got paid off and (presumably) given a new life elsewhere in the end. In terms of the films I've seen, all are good, but Rise of the Footsoldier is by far the best as it's the most polished with the best 'story' as it doesn't just centre around the shootings. Plus it's the only one I've watched over and over.

Isn't it just an unfunny version of Bearsy's style?

Half and half scarf? I do hope so, I'll be wearing my Manchester United and Liverpool one.

Shut up you f*cking stupid boring skate pr*ck.

What a stupid post. One is a very young goalkeeper who is learning his trade, is third choice and unluckily for us is the best we've got at the moment. The other two got us promoted and are pretty good as back-up squad players - again at the moment, we just happen to have to play both of them due to injuries which is unfortunate. Shaw is learning from Fox too, so he does have a role (see his recent interview). Some "fans" are so short-sighted.
-
In all seriousness, would you take a few million (how much, £15m?) and Bertrand? We wouldn't be in a much worse position. Go ahead, get flaming.
-
Really? I thought he was lightweight, gave the ball away numerous times, doesn't have the pace to close down and he doesn't look like he has the energy to do much at all. Such a shame, expected (and wanted) brilliant things from him and I'm usually over optimistic but I do feel his talent lies elsewhere - probably in Spain. He'll be great there.

This is true. "London" has everything. It's a design centre, fashion centre, banking centre and houses the best shops (including flagship stores) in the country. I choose to live in North Hampshire and commute in daily to Oxford Street where I join the world of fashion retail. It's amazing what I see - trends are so far advanced of sleepy North Hants, not my tastes, but I'm not early 20s. Having also worked in Angel for 2 years, again, amazing part of London - very different as each part is. Better pubs, different trends, but some big companies. The rest of the world do not know, or care about the rest of the UK. I worked with a guy who came over from India. He lived in Bracknell as it was cheaper, yet when his wedding invites sent out they had his address as "Bracknell, London, England". Manchester is on the up in terms of world knowledge of its existence, but London will always be the UK's capital for many things. I wouldn't live there, but I'd hate to work anywhere else now - the buzz you get daily from going in to work and leaving to go back to the country is a great feeling. You could argue France/Paris is similar - all the companies I've worked at have offices in Paris ... But just to end, I will agree that most "Londoners" are totally unaware of what the rest of the country is like. They can't fathom I can only get 1 bus an hour and the last one is 6pm, just as an example.

It is really stupid - I really hope we don't become like Spain where the managers just get recycled around the same clubs (so it seems). We need more Wenger, Moyes and Sir Alex types - but who have the luxury of boards that aren't happy to chop after 2 defeats. It's like they've never heard of teams having a bad period. It happens, it's called football.

I can't believe anyone would post this utter bilge or that anyone would believe it. Therefore I'm relieved to note Bearsy's Snopes find that this was some drivel written in the US years ago. It's funny (reference to other posts), having been "on" the Internet for almost 20 years now, you get to see the same old rubbish in various forms come up time and time again; many of which were originally emails, i.e. "Forward this email to 20000 people otherwise your head will fall off". You now see the same numpties falling for it on Social Media by "sharing" something on the promise of £500 worth of Asda vouchers or something silly.

Brilliant! That did actually make me laugh. Don't cry for me Tony Pulis, The truth is you managed pompey All through your dark days Now you're with us We support you Not the pompey scum

Post Match Reaction: Newcastle United 1-1 SAINTS
Patrick Bateman replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
But he's not is he? He is; - 21 - Learning - Our 3rd choice - Not as good as an International goalie - Not quite as good as someone with years of experience Adkins shouldn't have played him last season when he was messing around with goalies, but the guy is learning and will be okay I'm sure in years to come. But hey, it's easy to jump on the back of a 21 year old, currently 3rd choice keeper. -
Exactly right. They will lose a lot of benefit; here is a high-level view; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24613217 They will be losing benefits for things that are frankly ridiculous to claim for, so giving them extra money and making them choose what they pay for rather than take all that for granted (which no else in the country is able to do) is a good thing. It might make them more accountable and realise how out of touch their benefits really are. In defence; if this was any other industry having their benefits shaken up so much, they'd on strike! I also feel that MPs are actually underpaid for the job they do - especially when most of us travelling in to work every day in the private sector earn more for far less "social responsibility".

One of my personal favourites.

That made me laugh too - according to this, they have one player who was eligible to play and guess what, yes, he played ... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/fc-portsmouth/kader/verein_1020.html Thick prats.
