Superstitions anyone?

[Sirius]

Who else has a routine they follow, either pre match, or in the hope of it influencing a winning run? During our cup run, when Poll acted as an Arsenal stopper I refused to shave until we were out. Similarly ,before our play off matches last season. Unfortunately I am clean shaven and it seems that my beard would be a metre or two long before we again achieve anything. On a similar note-- Pleaase united keep with the properr kit and ditch the white shorts.

Nuddy gloves... purchased v. Leeds United in the Carling Cup in 2002/03 because it was bloody cold.

Didn't need them that May, left them at home, lost the play off final.

Sorry... it was my fault

I've got a lucky Blades mug which I always use on matchdays for my breakfast coffee. It is singularly responsible for all our victories since 2001. It occasionally loses its power though.

My old school green footy socks - which given they've had 25 years of abuse have more hole than sock - and are nowadays usually covered in dog hairs. I also have a Slavia Prague (red and white halves) shirt that (until Wembley) seemed to be quite lucky. Not used it this season.

Me and the missus have a little ritual too - but that's one for the Pig n Truffle!!

I never listen to the match on the radio (away games that is)

Every time i listen we lose. Norwich away last season last time i listened to one. Sorry

Always buy a programme from the same bloke on a corner near the railway. Last year pigs at home I went to a bloke across the road, the rest is history!

And always take the blades sticker out of the car window for away matches, mind you that's more about safety that supersition

I like the white socks, they were white when I started going to see Lord Currie, his highness Woodward etc etc.

I prefer white shorts, white socks! Thought it looked good at Reading... Black Shorts, White Socks.

Mind you i also prefer England in ALL white.

Whenever i seem to go to Munchies for a sandwich before the game, we win.

 

[The Who Blade]

Not got a specific matchday routine myself (apart from a few pints) but my Mum, who is 70 years old and has a season ticket on the kop, has infrequently dragged my Dad (no interest in football whatsoever) along with her. Over about 25 years he has seen around 30-35 games and has never seen us lose.
After Wembley I got thinking, and the next time we are in a play off final or cup semi final I'm getting him a ticket whether he wants one or not and we will see which jinx prevails.

 

[super_pig]

i never watch the kick off.. i'm usually late anyway but if i'm on time i'll go and get a cup of tea as the kick off goes on.. i also saw the kick off at wembley though.. so i'm to blame as well

 

[torridon]

i always park in the same space, although i've had to expand that one to the same street since the crowd increases of the past few years, always walk the same route, even if i have come in on the train i have to make a diversion so i can walk my usual route, i always use the same turnstile, even getting into arguments with stewards who have asked me to use a less busy one, i enter the ground no earlier than 15 mins before kick off and no later than 5 mins before kick off and i have to see the kick off, if a game is delayed or i miss the kick off, (even if i blink and miss it) a sense of doom envelops me. In reality its all a load tosh, but i'll keep following it!!

 

[rachyblade]

I used to have loads but this season I'm not having any because they don't work, all this was proved at Wembley last season.

Me too love it, I only use mine on matchdays and it has been known for Mrs La_Blade to make me a brew in my mug on a nin matchday and I've poured it into another mug to drink it

 

[beightonblade]

our gert tried to tell mi the Blades only won when i bought hear a pair of Jimmy Choo's !

 

[keenzy]

We seem to always play well and win when i've had a few before hand. Derby at home springs to mind as one.

I'll be in the lion before hand if anyone wants to try out this theory.

Funnily enough this works for me too!

I'll be in the lion before and after the Derby as well... 1st game this season... Kin el its been a long summer!

 

[DazBlade88]

I don't really have superstitions, but I always follow the same routine for home matches.

I used to wear the same jeans to every game, but since I started going to all the home and away ones it was decided it clearly wasn't the reason we were winning!

 

[jose_d_blade]

i must not see a magpie walk to the lane looking at the ground if i see one i must then look for two. think warnock had same superstition although ive done this since 91.
i must get a hot dog with mustard although i dont like mustard
this was from a mix up at a burger van and a super come back although i cant remember the game now.

 

[dkc Blade]

I have given up on all superstitions, after realising once and for all that they don't work.

 

[super_pig]

>i must then look for two
as my esteemed collegue would say about magpies.. one for nowt, two for nowt, three for nowt and four for nowt.. heh..
sampy.. we've cancelled each other out mate!<laugh>

I have a medallion that I wear, a sheffield untied one, I got it in the 2002/03 season, and when I wore it we never lost a game. We do occasionally now but that's only because it loses power sometimes
