The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Author 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. You only get one go back though, so what if we'd lost 6-1 again, as we had when we played Arsenal two weeks before? Actually, quite a few of these fall down due to requiring multiple visits... we can't use that much plutonium ! Also, would nuking Anfield really have stopped the riot at Heysel, which was at least partially driven by elements from the NF and Combat18 ?
notnowcato Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Just back from the time machine, result of my mischievous doings on You Tube
Deppo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 What if you find a portal like Gary Sparrow did in Goodnight Sweetheart?
The9 Posted 21 April, 2011 Author Posted 21 April, 2011 wtf??? I'd have done the same with "Maradonna" and "Gullet", but more due to the weird disjuncture between recognising them as some of the greatest and most familiar players of all time, yet still not being able to spell their names. As you've hinted, Gallas doesn't even make the "best two French centre-backs of the past 12 years" list IMHO.
stug76 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 You only get one go back though, so what if we'd lost 6-1 again, as we had when we played Arsenal two weeks before? Fair enough, they were pretty good back then. I'd still like to have been to a cup final where we made a bit of a fight of it. I didn't think that we could win after about the first 5 mins - it was all a bit of a let down really. It was a great day out, apart from the football.

Huntingdon Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd join Mark Wright and Steve Moran in Sweden on the pull
Pilchards Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Give Armstrong a nudge back to allow the great Keegan goal that never was.
Dalek2003 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. The9 has the 'hand of Omega' !!!! This must be located and the Daleks will go back to 2004. All opposition by the vocal few to the appointment of Glenn Hoddle will be eliminated !!!! SFC will remain in the premiership and with the help of the Daleks will exterminate all other football teams with resounding 10-0 victories. SFC and the Daleks will then reign supreme !!!

Deano6 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back 10 mins and not bother opening this thread.
mcjwills Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd change 2 results a win at Liverpool on September 06 1983 instead of a 1-1 draw and beating Notts Forest at home on Jan 23rd 1984
sambosa75 Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 You only get one go back though, so what if we'd lost 6-1 again, as we had when we played Arsenal two weeks before? Actually, quite a few of these fall down due to requiring multiple visits... we can't use that much plutonium ! Also, would nuking Anfield really have stopped the riot at Heysel, which was at least partially driven by elements from the NF and Combat18 ? I'd imagine a fair few of them would have been Scousers however. Nuking Anfield would have got rid of a lot of the Liverpool fans responsible.
jam Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Could I just go back to the playoff season and put everything I have on us to win 0-6 at Wolves?
Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I would go back to Feb 10th 2010 and give Registrar Christine Derrett one, she would enjoy the action so much that she begs me to nail her again. When I refuse, she takes her bad mood out on the Skates the next day and winds the business up.
St Chalet Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to my first game of Saints Vs Coventry at the Dell September 1985, and wouldn't change a thing.
St.Jeweller Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 go back and tell Walcott just before he leaves us that he'd win more silverware staying with us than he would by moving to Arsenal over the next 6 years
paulwantsapint Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Go back to may 95 tell Alan Ball to sign new contract with pay rise & tell MLT to have an operation to cure his dodgy heal tendon Bally would have led us well with fit MLT having the ball given to him all the time to win games
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Fair enough, they were pretty good back then. I'd still like to have been to a cup final where we made a bit of a fight of it. I didn't think that we could win after about the first 5 mins - it was all a bit of a let down really. It was a great day out, apart from the football. I'm with you, I was going to say I'd go back and make sure that Fab Fabrice started the game... we'd probably have got spanked but.... who knows?
Tom8558 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. Definate quote of the day imo
simondo Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 would go back and tell crouch to keep the ball in the corner this
rallyboy Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 I'd go back to the mid-nineties and invite Markus to a game at The Dell, see if he fancied a little project. I'd also get him a camera and a huge empty photo album.
dubai_phil Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 go back and tell Walcott just before he leaves us that he'd win more silverware staying with us than he would by moving to Arsenal over the next 6 years Quality, well done
Thedelldays Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 it has to be to take stuart downing out of the game at SMS. beg crouch to keep the ball in the corner
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 Is this a "back to the future" time machine or a "Quantom leap" time machine I NEED CLARIFICATION !!!!!!!!!!!
sebastian firefly Posted 21 April, 2011 Posted 21 April, 2011 id go to when we signed all those "he's one for the future" moments and offer everyone £50 at 100-1 that he's not
Fan The Flames Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I would go back and warn Rickie to calm the tackling down so as to not get sent off against Brighton at the Withdean as he is vital to the run in.
Fan The Flames Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I would go back and pis s on that hard bit of turf that the ball bounced up to Adrian fu**in Heath.
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I'd go to the year 3000. I'd probably find that not much has changed but we live underwater, which in itself would mean a lot had changed really. I'd also find that your great great great granddaughter is pretty fine.......if i fancied a 400 yr old. Oh, and saints have made the league 1 playoffs btw.
John Boy Saint Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I would go forward to tomorrow morning having borrowed Harry Potters invisability cloak get into Brightons dressing room and put a powerful laxative in their refreshments.
Norm Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I would go back and ban the name De Pedro from ever appearing on any Saints Fans forum. I can't believe we spent hours talking/writing about him!
Lets B Avenue Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 I would go back to a time when StanthemanFairOak had hair. and not just out of his ears!! March 17 1979. 89th min and Terry Curran thru on Shilts. Make him square the bloody ball to Sealey and we would have done them in extra time. From there to 1991 and a small push on Guy Askham at the top of a flight of stairs before he gets round to offering Branfoot a job.
Saints Fan Dan Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 I would go into the Nottingham Forest dressing room in 1993 and drop something heavy on Mark Crossley's hand so he couldn't save Matt's penalty thus preserving his 100% penalty record.
saints-cris Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 I would go forward to tomorrow morning having borrowed Harry Potters invisability cloak get into Brightons dressing room and put a powerful laxative in their refreshments. Change it to 'uddersfield and we'll talk
Thedelldays Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 I would go back in time and (try) convince lowe that gray was very much the wrong choice and david moyes was the man
70's Mike Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 lots already mentioned one that i was talking about with my old man(77) was i often wonder what would have happenned if the club had built a new ground near where Toys r Us are now, back after the 76 final, the Man Utd of the South Coast?
Steeleye Saint Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 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. Yes can still remember trudging dejectedly away from Highbury after that semi-final with my nephew. Lawrie Mac made a big mistake in playing Stevie Williams that day. By the way and going off topic, I rate him as second only to Le Tiss as Saints all time greatest. (My time that is)
Saint137 Posted 24 April, 2011 Posted 24 April, 2011 I'd tell Bobby to take better care of himself and pop down the queen alex before he died of pneumonia.
