The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 ...well done, now its time to start messing around with things so you begin to disappear from photos in the future, and stuff. So, which one single event in Saints history would you go back and tweak (for better or worse) ? Bonus points for creativity and obscurity... like giving Sturrock a napkin at breakfast, etc. NB : If this ends up in a Lowe-based row I will not be impressed.
Colinjb Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would put a mound of dead ducks outside Tony Lynam's driveway, circa May 2009 just when he doesn't want to be late for a meeting.
Cascadia Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would loosen the nuts on the back wheel of rupert's moped before he drove into his first day at his new job.
Junior Mullet Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back in time to one of Lucy Pinder's photo shoots and tweak her nips.
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I guess if I had a time machine I would go fishing with my grandad one last time, and have a couple of beers with him. Top bloke.
JustMike Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 would go back and tell Crouch to keep the ball in the corner
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Author Posted 21 April, 2011 I guess if I had a time machine I would go fishing with my grandad one last time, and have a couple of beers with him. Top bloke. Saints related onl... oh it's Deppo.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Kick the stone away from David Hirst's running path.... Tell Spurs to shove it when they swapped Bale's sell on clause for Tommy Forecast
Barry the Badger Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would go and tell Killer not to take part in the warm up at Fratton Park.
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Author Posted 21 April, 2011 would go back and tell Crouch to keep the ball in the corner David Connolly made exactly the same mistake this past Saturday in the 89th minute, (luckily the cross was blocked and Bristol Rovers didn't break and score), yet there were people on here going on about his brilliant footballing brain and other such garbage the day after...
jamesfp1 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back and reverse this.. Tuesday, 1 March 2011 Walsall 1-0 Southampton and this.. Tuesday, 12 April 2011 Rochdale 2-0 Southampton
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 first of all i'd make a few lottery trips, then I would go back 20 years and get 15 of the current worlds best on our books as kids..... i would pay wigley and gray 25 mil each and get them to retire from football as contingency ;-) i would hope to then come back to todat to see a packed 70k stadium watching saints qualify for champ league final against Utd.
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 as for a single event I would see that the Gray isnt appointed and some other proven manager of today is.
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 "Single" event... You're on the wrong thread, but there is a Singles Event at the Oasis Bar if you are interested. 8th June.
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Author Posted 21 April, 2011 You're on the wrong thread, but there is a Singles Event at the Oasis Bar if you are interested. 8th June. I've just been, in my time machine. The wife wasn't impressed, so I turned her into a coffee percolator. I don't even like coffee. Needs more planning.
Mowgli Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 16/3/77 - I'd ask Jim Steele not to try and to stand on the ball against Anderlecht...
Hatch Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Highbury 84. Would have told someone to mark Adrian Heath a little bit tighter.
labibs Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would go and tell Killer not to take part in the warm up at Fratton Park. This. Could have all been so different
Spudders Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Whilst you guys were sorting out Saints in your time machines, I’d give us something to laugh at. I’d go back to 2009 and make up some sort of fake ghost person to buy the skates (maybe call myself Ali Al Faraj, or something like that, make out that I was a Saudi Businessman, or something silly). I’d basically buy the club, string it along for a bit, set up some dodgy deals, skim some money from the club and then sell it on to someone else wiling to continue to do the same as I’d been doing. It’d be so funny watching the club slowly die in front of our eyes. I may even come back at some future points in time and pretend to be someone else, show them the money I have (the stuff I stole from them in the first place), kick a few tyres and get their fans hopes up, then disappear again!
stu0x Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to Lisbon in 2001, find a guy called Jose Mourinho, and give him a first class ticket to Southampton, directions to St Marys, and a namebadge that said 'Stuart Gray' (which would probably have been sufficient to fool the board at the time)
sambosa75 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to 1985 and nuke Anfield so the Liverpool fans couldnt get English clubs banned from European competition. This would have meant Saints could compete in Europe when we finished runners up. That was a time when smaller clubs really could compete. Would have been interested to see how we could have progressed had we been able to offer European football to players we were looking to sign.
Pilchards Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Ask our owner Markus to take a trip down the hospital and get checked out the day before he passed away. Also Highbury 84, Take some of that sand away that caused Itchy's fluke to bounce in the corner. Still hurts now as I know we would of won the cup that year.
trousers Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Ask our owner Markus to take a trip down the hospital and get checked out the day before he passed away. Was just about to post the same sentiment RIP Mr Liebherr :-(
SNSUN Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to the day Alan Ball got the call from Man City, answer the phone myself and tell them to sod off.
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go and explain to Adkins that the diamond just doesn't work.
Toomer Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would go back and stop Tony Christie from recording a certain song.
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd ask Alpines doctor to pop round his gaff with some prozac. Sorry Alps, no offence intended
SO5 4BW Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd prevent players playing in games where they got crucial injuries - Steve Williams in the FA cup v Wednesday at home in 1984. He played once more that season - in the semi-final - but shouldn't have. With him we could have won something that year. Or Charlie Wayman in 1949 v Spurs (not that I remember that...)
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd ask Alpines doctor to pop round his gaff with some prozac. Sorry Alps, no offence intended That's OK, I was expecting much worse, like someone shooting my mother before conception.
alpine_saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 There are so many. I like the ones about nobbling Lowes taxi motorbike, Killers warm-up and nobbling Pinnacle. All very momentous occasions. I would also like to add something here about forcing Burley to sub Leon Best for Rasiak in the second leg at Derby at an earlier stage, or taking David Prutton or Danny Higginbotham on a trip slightly further back in time to see the consequences of their f**k ups against WBA and Middlesbrough respectively.
PaulSaint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would record one of those Sleep CD's and play it while Strachan sleeps (its his first season). It would repeat over and over and over and ........ "Buy Wayne Rooney" Buy "Didier Drogba" Buy "Cesc Faregas" Buy "Brede Hangeland" Buy "Jack Wilshere" etc, etc Bet we wouldnt be in league one?
mel1961red Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would just like to go back and See the greatest player ever that played for us Matt Le Tiss come out on the pitch again and score the winning goal .
Brussels Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I wonder what Dalek's point of view will be on this subject?
Fowllyd Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd prevent players playing in games where they got crucial injuries - Steve Williams in the FA cup v Wednesday at home in 1984. He played once more that season - in the semi-final - but shouldn't have. With him we could have won something that year. Or Charlie Wayman in 1949 v Spurs (not that I remember that...) Great minds and all that - I was just thinking exactly the same thing, but I couldn't remember which match Williams was injured in. With him fit all season we would pretty certainly have won the FA Cup, and had a real go at the league as well.

CHRIST IT WORKED! PS - Where did you get your "flux capacitor" from?
dubai_phil Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 That's OK, I was expecting much worse, like someone shooting my mother before conception. Well, it would have done no good shooting her husband Tish boom, sorry but you did serve it up Oh me - I'd go back and make sure the process by which we did NOT sign Drogba/Adebayor et al when they were young was torn up & burnt
Brussels Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 For me personally it would have to be the decision not to reappoint Hoddle and thus begin our slide down the divisions.
whizzpop Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would sign Chris Marsden 3 years earlier than we did
Secret Site Agent Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would go back in time and grab a young Pele, Keegan, Shilton, Gullet,Maradonna, Rooney, Fabregas,Gallas. Then I would bring them forward in time and get them signed up as sixteen year olds in 2006-7, so that they would be maturing and rocking during our slide down, to prevent it, and also to give us oodles of cash by selling a couple on the way up as well.
OttawaSaint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Probably go back and make sure Chris Nicholl didn't get the sack so we could "move on to the next level..."
Spudders Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 CHRIST IT WORKED! PS - Where did you get your "flux capacitor" from? That's the easy part, I just used some circuit boards from an old commodore 64 & some flashy lights & wires. The difficult bit was getting the power to it. It needs 1.21 gygawatts which I eventually managed to harness by putting rubbish into an old sodastream (seems obvious now!!!)
Pugwash Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I've already been and persuaded Rupert it'd be a good idea to get 'Arry n Jim on board. Seemed like a good idea at the time...
Wurzel Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Tell Steve Mills to get a taxi home from Pompey Greyhounds
MbaleSaint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to 1985 and nuke Anfield so the Liverpool fans couldnt get English clubs banned from European competition. This would have meant Saints could compete in Europe when we finished runners up. That was a time when smaller clubs really could compete. Would have been interested to see how we could have progressed had we been able to offer European football to players we were looking to sign. In fact we did play in Europe the season after we finished runners up. We lost 2-0 to Hamburg and what an away trip that was. It was the following season, after finishing 5th, that we were denied our place in Europe.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back in time and say Happy Birthday to Augustin Delgado.
stug76 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'm 37 years old, and I dont think the future has ever looked so good for Saints. So I'm going to chose something that wont of had an affect on where we are today and tell Strachan to really go for it in the Cup final. I'd love to have seen us win.
notnowcato Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 i would go back in time and grab a young pele, keegan, shilton, gullet,maradonna, rooney, fabregas,gallas. Then i would bring them forward in time and get them signed up as sixteen year olds in 2006-7, so that they would be maturing and rocking during our slide down, to prevent it, and also to give us oodles of cash by selling a couple on the way up as well. wtf???
