...that have been destroyed in our poor run, or new ones you now have following our win against Newcastle.

I've gone from wearing SUFC socks on a match day, to not wearing them, to wearing them the day before, to the day after... to the Monday after... to... think I exhausted every variation!

Of course this is utterly insane, but I reckon I wasn't the only one..?
 



After the Wolves playoff final I stopped hanging my shirt up the night before and kissing the badge as I put it on.

Someone will be waiting outside the hospital with a baseball bat to make sure you're back in until at least May.

Hope you're on the mend btw.

Wish you a speedy recovery, pal!
 
I usually wear any of my shirts to the games and haven’t been during lockdown. Before Palace I thought fuck it, it’s got to be worth a try. Needless to say it was off after five minutes.

Spending rest of the season laid by the side of the road tangled up with your MC might work.

Hope this helps.
 
I hate to admit it.... but last night was the first time i backed the other team... due to pure despondence with our situation and wanting a win/win situation.... if we are going to lose, at least i'd be money up for some commiseration beers.

So actually last night i formed a superstition... back the other team and we will win... it's gonna be expensive...
 
Last season I insisted my other half word her red bra when we played. It usually did the trick. This season it's power has obviously waned. She had her silver grey lace one for Bristol (ooo er missus) and again against Newcastle. Here's hoping it works against Spurs on Sunday.

I need to remember what I was wearing last night
 



All my lucky shirts, no longer have luck. Noticed against Bristol Rovers that my lad wasn't wearing a shirt, which is unusual. Tried it again against Newcastle. So he's not allowed to wear his football tops now 🤣

It's the first game I've bet on the opposition this season. I've already had a bet on Spurs.
 
I had some whiskey left in a bottle I kept saying ..... I'm going to drink it all when we win..... This time I drank it BEFORE the match ?.... it worked !!....so now it's going to have to be whiskey before every match .. The last time I did something like this it was a favorite green shirt that finally got took off and washed after we lost at Old Trafford to the so called George Best wonder goal... I was there ( gives my age away a bit lol ).
 
I usually sit on the Bramall Lane Upper, and I always go in through turnstile no. 14 — even if there's literally no one queueing at the others — as that's my lucky number. I obviously haven't passed through there since March last year, so I can only apologise for the run of bad form we've been having since then 😅

Talking of superstition, I have been wondering if we need to get a crowd together to rip up the Desso and search for dead owls, along the lines of this story from Argentina...

We were locked out of that game, stayed in the car park until they opened the gates just in time for us to see Best’s goal. Vowed never to stand in a car park for 2 hours again. Whisky sounds a better bet!
 
Im habitually late for the game usually missing KO by maybe 5 mins and always joked it was unlucky to see kick off. During lockdown Ive seen every single one until the Bristol game and so purposefully went for a smoke and came back just after kick off yesterday, job done!

Did you have anyone to walk in front of, get them to stand up and miss an important incident, etc.? Won’t count, otherwise...
 
every superstition gone up the wall & id given up. but then funnily my uncle i go to the football with & have seen once in august. since crowds were stopped. rang me for the 1st time in the afternoon & then we went got the victory. so i joking he should ring before every game

I did walk infront of the telly blocking Peppy Nana meaning my little girl didnt have a clue how Moon baby had got there just before I turned over so in a way yes.

Another thing I noticed was Id run out of my normal beer before the Bristol game and have been drinking dumpy French Bier Dours for both the wins so thats the new lucky beverage
 
I never change my attitude or my pants. Both are seriously fucking agitating while the match is on

Don't worry mate.... we can arrange to send the boys round a day before each game. ;)

As a former biker and Blade... hope you're on the mend bud!
