Legg wasn't the only one...

You were also spot on when Cortese got rid of Adkins.... Being rounded on by you and the rest of the village idiots on Saintsforever was like being savaged by dead sheep, as they say. Then you all got together and commissioned this: It is not often I'm lost for words, etc., etc......

Take it from me, Cardington House is going the same way as every other enterprise Wilde has been involved in. As you are so keen to know what he is up to, check him out on LinkedIn here. Personally, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole....nor would any other business man in this city, from what I've heard.

You obviously didn't read the Pompey fan's contribution here. I'm a lot better looking than him, as well. Must be the lack of inbreeding...

This is my only remaining link to that great site. I only saved the odd thread from Saintsforever, in order to expose the low IQ of the average football supporter, but nowadays Wes Tender is able to do that, without any help from me...

Here's something concrete, Wes, as further proof of how clever I am. Michael Wilde currently runs a small hotel in Jersey called Cardington House. I came across a recent review of the place, indicating that he has lost none of his management skills.

When one is threatened with legal action...

A final PM exchange with Keith:

Saintlee, Lee Hoos, Keith...... Like I said, suckers...

Reading this thread takes me back a few years: Infinity Homes Limited went into administration in 2008 followed in April, 2009, by Southampton FC. I kept a copy of the thread and there are some gems from posters still on here. Suckers...

It was turned into a rest home by the council, then closed and the land sold off for houses. Anyone who remembers Birch Lawn might remember sitting here: As far as "Sholing" FC, their history alluded to by the OP is as follows: In 1886, Woolston Works entered the South Hants & Dorset Senior Cup, defeating the Portsmouth Sunflowers 6–1 in the First Round on 9 October 1886. The Sunflowers were run by Canon Norman Pares, who had played for the Old Etonians when they won the 1879 FA Cup Final. The Works team progressed to the final where they defeated Wimborne Town with a single goal. The umpire for the final was M. P. Betts who won the very first FA Cup Final with the Wanderers in 1872. Woolston Works also reached the final of the Portsmouth & District Cup in 1887, where they lost 2–0 to Portsmouth A.F.C. (not connected with the present-day Portsmouth Football Club). Playing in goal for the Portsmouth side was "A. C. Smith", a pseudonym for Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1887, the club became joint tenants with the Pirates Rugby Club of the Antelope Ground. The Antelope Ground, which stood on the east side of St Mary's Road between Brinton's Terrace and Clovelly Road, had previously been used by Hampshire County Cricket Club until they moved to the County Ground in Northlands Road in 1885. In the same year, the club entered the inaugural Hampshire Senior Cup (whereas St. Mary's Y.M.A. entered the Junior Cup); in the final, they defeated Winchester by two goals to nil to claim the trophy. With St. Mary's winning the Junior Cup, the two clubs decided that they should compete to decide which was Southampton's top club. The match was played at the Antelope Ground on 14 April 1888 and the home side were victorious by three goals to nil; the Bournemouth Guardian report on the match summed up the clubs' season: Both teams have had a wonderfully good time of it on the whole and the people of Southampton ought to feel proud of their football population. In 1888–89, Woolston Works continued to occupy the Antelope Ground, sharing this with the Trojans Rugby Club. reached the final of the Hampshire Senior Cup, where they lost to a team from the Royal Engineers based at Aldershot, By now, Oswald, Mordaunt & Co. were in financial trouble as a result of which many of their better footballers had returned to their native north-east and Scotland, causing the works to put out a weakened team for the final. The Woolston shipyard was closed in April 1889 and Oswald, Mordaunt & Co. was wound up, resulting in the disbanding of the football team. Later teams During the First World War, a team from the works, now owned by John I. Thornycroft & Company was formed, known as Thornycrofts (Woolston) F.C. They survived until 1926 and reached the First Round Proper of the F.A. Cup in 1919–20 where they took Burnley of the Football League First Division to a replay. In 1960, Vosper Thorneycroft F.C. was founded. They subsequently changed their name to VT F.C. and then to Sholing F.C. who now play in the Southern League Division One South & West. My personal recollection is that Vosper Thorneycroft FC were founded in 1960 and were a Woolston football club playing at the VT Sports ground in Netley. To claim a shared history with football clubs that were disbanded many years ago and played in a totally different location is a fabrication, designed to attract a broader fanbase. IMHO, the club should simply let the quality of their football build their fanbase and leave the contrived history bullsh!t to Pompey.

No problem with what you are trying to do with the club, but please don't peddle total ******, such as this, or the Sholing Sports or indeed Sholing "connection". I wish you luck with sponsorship, but you'll struggle if you continue to make stuff up.

In fact Sholing FC have no connection with Sholing. They play in Old Netley and Vosper Thorneycroft were based in Woolston. Trying to take advantage of Sholing Sports' history, IMHO....

Sholing FC has absolutely no connection with Sholing Sports FC, a team founded in 1894 and folded when their ground was sold for housing in the 90's. As the OP will confirm, Sholing FC are a new incarnation of Vospers (VTFC), a team I used to play against, when I was too old to play at a decent standard. Sholing Sports were a class act with a great ground and social club, killed by property developers..

4 years don't mean a thing, we're still doomed unless we throw money in the direction NGO's tell us, we have to cut CO2 emissions, etc., etc., etc.....

Maybe it does, with the evidence: Broadband speed and hours of sunshine are deal clinchers for me....

Anyone see a pattern in this map?

A good summary:

Pie face's qualifications and experience for leading Scotland into a brave new economic world are a 2:2 in Economics and 7 years working at RBS . Mind you Osborne's 2:1 in Modern History from Oxford don't provide much reassurance, either, but at least he has the backing of Danny Alexander, PPE from Oxford. They'll run rings round pie face if he thinks they'll let him retain sterling, without any input into their economic affairs from the rest of the UK. TBH I hope he wins the referendum. It'll mean the end of Labour in the UK, for the foreseeable future, less of our tax money disappearing north of the border and a Tory majority at Westminster for a long time to come....

To put this in "climate change mitigation" spend in perspective, the total aid budget per year for poorer countries, in the form of official development assistance (ODA) was about $120 billion in 2009. Indefensible to spend anything on global warming, IMO...

Oh, and for the anoraks, the projected cost of mitigating climate change is from this document: Table 2: UNFCCC estimate of additional annual investment need and financial flow needed by 2030 to cover costs of adaptation to climate change (billion dollars per year in present- day values) [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Sector[/TD] [TD]Global cost[/TD] [TD]Developed countries[/TD] [TD]Developing countries[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Agriculture[/TD] [TD]14[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Water[/TD] [TD]11[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]9[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Human health[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]Not estimated[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Coastal zones[/TD] [TD]11[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Infrastructure[/TD] [TD]8 – 130[/TD] [TD]6 – 88[/TD] [TD]2 – 41[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total[/TD] [TD]49 – 171[/TD] [TD]22 – 105[/TD] [TD]27 – 66[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Source: UNFCCC (2007)

So, you'd rather have Saddam Hussein, who was responsible for the deaths of 50-100,000 Kurds, (including an attack on the town of Halabja with a mix of mustard gas and nerve agents, killing 5,000 and maiming, disfiguring, or seriously debilitating 10,000 more), who threatened to annihilate half of Israel with chemical weapons and who was responsible for a war with Iran, in which hundreds of thousands died, rather than the chance of a slightly warmer planet. You and Frank, dumb and dumber...

"Climate Change Mitigation Will Cost Between £44bn to £63bn annually by 2030" – UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2009. What a bargain, Frank, or are you a defective spambot? Hard to tell, really...

We go out of our course to make ourselves uncomfortable; the cup of life is not bitter enough to our palate, and we distill superfluous poison to put into it, or conjure up hideous things to frighten ourselves at, which would never exist if we did not make them.
