Saints Stuff

Freudian slip SM?

 

True story.

My mate's great grandma was called Fanny. She married a Mr John Breeze.

 

Sepp Batter's daughter is pleased she wasn't named Fanny.

 

I might not always agree with Lincs but then again I'm sure Lincs doesn't always agree with me. Always enjoy reading his posts but he has been a bit too positive recently for my liking. Can we have our LincolnSaint back please ?

 

Give it 'til 1645 tomorrow mate

 

With the new timings, you better make that 1702

 

...with the added time, be nearer 5pm. Though you may be right and we'll be 3 down by then.


EDIT:

Snap!

 

Corrected. I hope Franny doesn't read this he will think I'm a C word.

 

A Crunt?

 

Coconut? It begins with a C ends with a T and has a U and N in the middle.

 

Very close.

 

But

To Quote the great Eric Morecambe "You have all the right letters but not necessarily in the right order."

 

There’s certain Saints players that I continue to follow on social media after they’ve left and some that I delete as soon as they leave. Steven Davis is one that I’ve continued to follow and today on his Instagram story he posted a short video of his son kicking a ball about in his back garden with this seasons Saints shirt on

 

Anyone recognise the signatures? Trying to work out the year

 

Did anybody pay for the annual pass on the saints website for the radio commentary? Keeps saying access is restricted even though I bought the pass last week.

 

Are the numbers shirt numbers?

 

I'm assuming so

 

Doesn’t that help identify them?

 

Not for me it doesn't as I don't recognise the signatures. I haven't collected a Saints signature for decades.

 

Mate, I have been super super bored at work tonight so during my break I've taken a look at this. To the best of my knowledge these signatures (although possibly not the ball itself) are from the 07/08 season.

Through some quite frankly, shockingly diligent and brilliant detective work I have deciphered the following.
1) Although the ball looks like something from the early 90's, the club changed the ball on the badge in 1997.
2) Using "transfer market" I was able to get all the squad numbers from 1997 onwards
3) The partial signature with the number seven was useful as even from the small bit I can see it is not Le God's signature
4) Le Tissier stopped being our No.7 in 2002
5) I then googled the signatures of the No.30's from 2002 onwards, it was not Leandre Griffit, however it was a match for a Mr Youseff Safri
6) Safri played one season for the Saints 07/08
7) The number 6 for Southampton 07/08 (Next hexagon on the ball) at this time was Michael Svensson. Googling his signature confirmed a match and that this ball is from the 07/08 season.


Please see evidence below...







Mr Safri









God I'm really bored......
