Ferguson: Not Canadian Sir Alex Ferguson came within a phone call of giving up on a professional football and emigrating to Canada, the knight of the realm revealed today. Amazingly, the Scot, who is the most successful British manager ever, had applied to emigrate as a 22-year-old in 1963 after becoming disillusioned in Scotland. “I was part-time and in a reserve game against Airdrie I broke my eyebrow, cheekbone and nose and was out for months. They put this massive plaster cast on my face,” Ferguson told a group of Glaswegian students this week. “After I came back from the injury I played three reserve games. We lost 8-1, 7-0 and 9-2. I said ‘that’s it – I am finished’. I took out papers to emigrate to Canada. Fu€£ing shame, I say...

If there's no monkey/chicken petting zoo, I'm going to be well p!$$ed off..

You're right. He'd probably have me shot...

During World War II, Markus Liebherr's father served in the engineering corps of the German army, specifically in a unit that built bridges for the German troops in Russia. As such, I guess he owes us, due to the fact that most of the area along the river by St. Marys, was flattened by the Luftwaffe.

HMRC are clearing the decks, IMO. So, they are not bothering to argue the minor point about who the administrator is. They are now, for the sake of argument, agreeing that the appointment of UHY Hacker Young is valid. I think they will want the court, as I have been saying for a while, to question the validity of a number of the transcations between the parties behind the cesspit of a club. Unless the court orders otherwise, any disposal of a company's property, alteration in the status of its members or transfer of shares after the commencement of the winding up petition is void. The purpose of this provision is to preserve the value of the assets of a company for the benefit of persons interested in those assets.

The Times reported the same story this morning. The Times has learnt that Revenue & Customs will accept that his administration is valid after receiving documents requested at a High Court hearing last week. With assurances from the FA that prize money and other revenues from their FA Cup run will not be withheld, and a financial guarantee from Balram Chainrai, the owner, that the club will fulfil their fixtures this season, his attention can now turn to finding a buyer. Look like they've dodged the bullet, this time...

Bad to the bone, me...

As in: GM: "Hi, I'm John. Can I get you a drink?" Sue: "What are you doing? Hitting on me, you misogynist pig?!?" GM: "Actually, I'm the bartender."

Sue, love, when you post about me, can you possibly make it sound a little less like you're marking my homework? Alpine might like a bit of female discipline, but I prefer to dominate the b!tches until they learn the meaning of the word respect...

They accepted this bigoted xenophobic claptrap: Now go and make your missus a cup of coffee, do the dishes and behave. You've got the Leeds game to look forward to and with a bit of luck, we'll lose and you can get a semi- on typing the same old cr @p. Like the post about the physicists in Geneva, by the way. I bet your ancestors were the first ones to put a sledgehammer to the spinning jenny...:smt082

Haven't you got a cellar to dig?

What, by moving to Belgium...? This should cheer you up, though...

IMO they need someone to ante up enough dough to pay the players wages, in return for some sort of exclusivity deal. Therefore, related to payday, I reckon...

Actually, he's an expat, now living in Western Australia. What a loss to our fair city...

You are the Chairman of Southampton Football Club. You receive a desperate phone call from your counterpart at Portsmouth City Football Club, who explains that unless they receive the match revenue from the recent FA tie at St. Marys, the famous club, founded over 112 years ago, will be wound up and cease to exist, next Monday, at the High Court, live on Radio 5. You had earmarked the money for new carpets in the board room and the reupholstery of the executive seats. Should you: Take a day off and listen to the winding up of Portsmouth, live on e Radio 5, or... Go to training ground, watch the guys kick a ball around, write up your programme notes after lunch and listen to the programme on iPlayer, over a glass of chilled Chardonney, that evening?

...and you can't count the Canadians...

I thought you said that you were offended? Now I'm confused...

I have found my blind prejudices against a number of groups have been reinforced by experience, apart from the odd refreshing exception. As far as you are concerned, I can't say your posts regarding Saints are the most exciting I've read. This could be because you were born in Canada, but then again, it may be because you have worked hard at it... You make the assumption that boring is a bad thing, but I'd beg to differ. It is the national trait that led to the Canadian economy to avoid the worst of the banking meltdown, as this article demonstrated. I like my bank manager, accountant and lawyer to be boring. Conservative and boring. When it comes to literature, or even posting on a website, I prefer interesting. Mind you, most Canadians do have a good sense of humour, as the large number of comedians from that country testify. I notice that not many of the Canadian posters on this thread seem to have one...

I am assuming you think calling an anonymous poster a c u nt and a d !ckhead is adult and non-baiting, then..?

I apologise for the boring and irrelevant comment. On reflection, your last three threads make me look a bit of a chump for ever thinking that. For those that may have missed them, here are last three and I for one, can't wait for the next one. It's a pity your two compatriots have failed to ante up the fiver, to share their gems...

The reason it's strange is that they should have already provided a copy of the loan instrument to Companies House, within 21 days of the charge(s) being registered. If not, the charge(s) is/are invalid. i.e. Marc Jacobs should have deposited the loan instrument at Companies House by the end of January...

They all add to the entertainment that this site brings a large number of people from all over the world. It reminds me of that old Michael Jackson song... We can't go on Pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know love is all we need

This just for the record:

Tony Lynam lives in Southampton, so not a hard and fast rule, but in my book, never trust an ex-pat in regards to Saints. If they were true fans, they would live close enough for a season ticket, but they value other things in the life more than Southampton Football Club. Usually it's either the weather or the money...
