Marlon Harewood is f**k ugly.

Which just proves why criminalising drug use doesn't work. People STILL end up taking them. It's not a question of the government just handing out drugs to everyone and saying, "here, try some of this, it's great". People will use drugs regardless, so the best we can do is: 1. Educate young people as best we can as to the effects of drugs. If they still chose to take them when they're old enough, then more fool them. 2. Ensure the supply is clean ethical. I know the idea of 'Fair Trade' opium may seem silly, but you get the idea. 3. Offer free rehabilitation to anyone with drug abuse issues. The tax from drugs would cover the cost 100 times over. 4. Practically wipe out organised crime based around drug smuggling. So many criminal organisations would have their feet swiped from under them without drug money.

I'd argue there is feck all correlation between legalisation of drugs and actual usage of drugs. I'm pretty sure the proportion of drug users in Holland is no higher than the European average. Infact it's actually less than countries such as the UK and France. These are two things I have never seen/heard/read sensationalist news stories about: - People who would be heroine addicts, but aren't because it's pwopa nawty and they don't want to break the law. - People sticking their head into a garden shredder just because garden shredders are a legal substance. Put simply, I don't think the law is a deterant. If people want to do drugs, they will. Conversely, people wont do stuff just because it's legal.

Legalise ALL drugs, then tax the feck out of it. Simple.

Michael Owen signs contract extension for Man Utd

I'm actually embarassed that we've got this thread on here. Please can we delete it before other fans find it and take the p*ss. -
Now that Osama is dead and Mladic is behind bars, I don't think it's actually possible.

It's brilliant. 14 players, including 2 youth players, 2 geriatrics and 2 more who are definitely leaving. Not to mention Ben Haim, who I'm fairly sure can't play for them because they can't afford his appearance bonus. Still, I'm sure the other 7 players are perfectly capable.

Went from bottom of the form table to 13th IIRC. Not quite sure what you were expecting, but I'd consider that a pretty good return considering he had no money to spend.

Saints came out of a sewar smelling of roses 2 years ago, but it in no way justifies any of the mismanagement which went on before. Walk in to the boardroom of any company and say, "Hey, let's run this company out of business, then maybe a Swiss billionaire will take pity on us." What makes you think we'd be a midtable League 1 club? We probably still would have gone into admin, but if we weren't relegated we would have been in a massively improved situation. For a start the 10 point penalty would have been taken at the end of the 08/09 season, so even if that did relegate us we'd still have started our first season on 0 points instead of -10. Net result? I reckon we would have been promoted last season instead of this season. All hypothetical, we will never know for sure, but to suggest Markus and Nicola saving us justifies Lowe's horror show in some way is absurd.

Yeah me too. It's like the just said, "let's get Rik Mayall just being Rik Mayall and that'll do."

Can't see why Mills would want to come back to Saints and if he did we'd have to pay through the nose for him. Antonio is a good shout though, I'd take him back. I know he hasn't done it for Reading this season, but Chaplow wasn't doing it for PNE either. Reckon we could get Howard if we tried too.

Lewis Hamilton overtakes Timo Glock on at the last corner on the last lap of the last races of the season to win the World Drivers Championship in 2008

Typical Saints fans. No disappointment for us this year, so we go looking on the playoff losers' forum to feed our cravings. Wow, that Oldham fan is a pr1ck though. I'd have expected sh*t from teams like Leeds, Weds, Blades and Bradford more than anything.
-
Think Posh will be fighting Pompey for that wooden spoon next season. More so if CMS gets a big offer from somewhere else. Good for Saints, but very harsh on the Udders.
-
Such a shame, that would have been a great end to the race. I would even have taken Alonso winning if it stopped Vettel.
-
No. The boasting from the plastics will just be endless, not to mention the endless media masturbation. Christ almighty, I hope Rooney doesn't score the winning goal.

That's just so full on holes and contradicitions. We had a 'give youth a chance' philosophy forced on us, so we spent our last penneys on... an unknown youth player. Imagine if we'd spent that money on a quality experienced player like (but not actually) Lambert or Fonte. We might have had a chance then. If you're badly short of money and experienced players, the absolute last person you should be signing is a foreign teenager with no experience what-so-ever of English football. The sensible thing would have been to stick with Pearson, bring in free, experienced players like Wotton and Harding on small wages and mix them with youth players. Then spend the money we spent on Morgan (however much) on a quality, experienced centre half. Not rocket science and I reckon it would have got us midtable.

I know an airline pilot who used to fly for Air India Express. Let me put it this way; take the train.

All of which is pretty much irrelevant, when you consider we spent £1.2m on an unknown French teenager. I don't think I can remember a more inappropriate tranfer in the history of Southampton football club.

Few of my favourites - Grand Canyon (and the town of Sedona, which is to the South) - Tallinn, Estonia. Beautiful City - One of the lakes in Northern Italy - Pripyat (ghost city near Chernobyl) Want to go next Easter, it's like nowhere on Earth. - San Diego. Awesome City - New York City

That's in the stratosphere, but I don't think that counts as space. What were you in, a Mig 25?

France - More times than I can count. In double figures. Italy Norway Finland Latvia Estonia Switzerland - several times Austria - Several times Belgium - On at least 4 occasions Germany (lived there) Holland (lived there) USA (lived there, been at least 4 times) Canada x2 Spain Tunisia Malta Greece Turkey Egypt Ireland

Would be great, but apparently he left Brum because he wants Premier League football. If he isn't going to play for them, he sure as heck wont be coming to us.

As it says on the tin. How often do you 'upgrade'? Mine is just over 2 years old but the screne is on the blink. Part of me thinks I'd be as well getting a new one rather than sending off to get it repaired (pretty sure it's out of warranty). The other part thinks that's a bit too soon and the stuff on the market isn't all that much better than what I've got now.

We've already had Lowe with money. He bought Delgado and Neil McCann.
