An apology for our defeat today

[Davalon]

I'd like to offer a sincere apology for our impending defeat today.

I say this full in the knowledge that I'm allowing us to drop 3 points when I have the ability to stop us doing so.

My son has worn the exact same outfit to every winning game this season home or away, but when wearing something different we have lost each time.

Today I'm allowing him to go in a box with a friend meaning he has to wear different smarter gear, and consequently meaning the inevitable defeat.

Sorry.

Well, every game I've been to this season we've won and not conceded.

I'm going today, so bollox to your sons shitty lucky outfit superstition.

I followed the same routine for years. It involved amongst other things showering and using the same Blades towel to dry myself. Then under Clough I was forced to miss the cup tie against Notts Forest, staying in a hotel and I had forgotten my towel. I predicted a disaster. Of course we won 3-1 and I realised my showering crossing my fingers and tying my shoelaces in a particular order had no influence on the results.

Previously I had had a puncture on the way to the famous cup game when we beat Coventry at the Lane. I got through 8 tyres on home games before the missus twigged.

I didn't wash my shirt from last season and continued to wear it thinking it was imbued with special powers after we beat Stoke and Brentford, then we lost to Boro but it was a fix so I didn't blame the shirt, kept it musty, but then Cardiff outplayed us and the shirt was no longer responsible so I washed it.

Still wear it every match though, and recently I've taken to having a United fridge magnet as a lucky coin type deal haha

It's getting a bit out of hand.

Superstition man.

When we went down to the fourth division, my Dad shaved his massive moustache off, he'd had it years and decided it was responsible. He didn't have so much as stubble for 37 years after that, but then grew it back just in time for last season, so now he thinks it's lucky haha...

I just accept that whatever happens is my fault anyway.

 

[Groucho Blade]

Don’t you guys know that it’s bad luck being superstitious?!?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Turnstile 52, two black coffees pre-match. Done it ever since Oxford last season.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Well I've seen us win and lose loads. (And draw, I think, though I might be misremembering since the last time we drew was about 1891). So it's clearly not my fault.

That said, I did have a miserable run while wearing replica shirts a while back.

Sorry.

Wearing my trunks today that i wore in this pic earlier this year!

.....what?

 

[TheFlashingBlade]

Panic ye not. I’m en route to the game and my pert buttocks are once again clad with the Pants of Luck (full story here... https://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/hands-up-pants-down.59469/#post-1501317 )

For the uninitiated, since Northampton away last season, the Pants’ record is...

P 15 - W 15 - D 0 - L 0
Win percentage: 100%

Of the games the Pants have missed...
P 5 - W 0 - D 0 - L 5
Win percentage: 0%

Hull don’t stand a chance.

What with mate? Baby oil, vaseline, chip fat?

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I wore the same "lucky" tank top for years. But time moved on. So I binned it last season.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Lucky green socks that I wore when I played for the school rugby team. I'm now 53 so you can guess what state those socks are in.

PS These are the same lucky socks that have seen four relegations, four FA Cup semi-final defeats and five (?) play off final defeats - though I take full credit for them being the cause of our away win at Walsall in about 2003 when Brownie scored that blinder from outside the box.

 

[Pinchy]

Usual gear for me.

 

[Plymouthblade]

I'm wearing a nihab today but can still see us winning

 

[itsinyerblood]

Love the outfit mate, but you look like a Tory traffic warden! Still, each to hos own, and all's forgiven with 3 points today UTMB!

 

[Hague Blade]

Having my first ever brew from a new Blades mug - good luck or otherwise yet to be ascertained.

You’re right. Not looking good at all. We’re losing and Pigs are two up. Might be one to put to the back of the cupboard.

no, now he has 2 potential lucky outfit combinations, turning into a logistical nightmare

[blade too long]

Whipped em off post game and put them back in the carrier bag in the drawer with a quick squirt of Fabreeze, not washing them till we lose

I would like to thank your son for getting changed at half time

Whenever I had a wank the results were always the same.
