Let's Try a New Approach

[Hodgyman]

It would appear that relying on Micky & Co to get us out of this mess at this stage is a tall order. Let's try something else - let's call upon good luck!

I will try to help by resurrecting my lucky match day underpants,and making sure I've got an adequate supply of "goal mints", which have miraculously enablled a winner or an equaliser in the past (when my own lad was daft enough to believe it). I will have to ditch the seemingly wrong brand of mints that I have used this season in favour of the more productive Trebor Soft Mints.

Can you all help the cause by using your lucky rituals, charms and routines?
What are yours?

It might not work, but it might raise a smile here & there.

The Scandinavian Blades have a really good record on our trips, hopefully we'll bring a bit of luck on Saturday too. 4-0 at Leeds, the promotion win at Cardiff, 2-1 over Tottenham, 1-0 at Reading and 3-0 over Blackpool are some of the games we've watched the last few seasons.

 

[Basing Blade]

My 11 year old son saw his first Blades loss at Watford on Saturday.
His record was won 5 drawn 3 lost 0 before that including the Charlton 5-2 and the Reading 3-1 away wins.
His luck has run out.

Fried egg butties on the morning of the match used to be one of mine. (I was a True Blade in those days!) Can't remember how it evolved but basically if a yolk burst in the pan it meant a goal against us.

I remember bursting 2 yolks one saturday morning and having to eat another 3 eggs to bring us a 3-2 victory!

 

[Wards]

Whenever my team on a Saturday morning have won, so have the Blades...

We're near the bottom too

 

[ListerBlade]

At the Forest match the other day I had red and white shoes on, last seasons away shirt, this seasons black training sweatshirt, and then I bought the anniversary shirt for £5 at the club shop, didn't want to carry a bag around so put it on over my jumper. It worked, we won. Mind, it was all covered up by my coat...

 

[Silverware]

All my superstitions have gone to pot. Lucky socks and scarves, taking the same route to the ground, using the same entrance gate, half time pie etc have all proved useless. Still cross my fingers when the opposition has a set piece or corner but I'm probably not concentrating enough.

Its time to try some reverse psychology and invite one of my 'jinxed' mates to the next match. They're the ones who rarely go and when they do we usually lose. When they announce they've got tickets, my heart sinks. They spend the first half discussing where all the players they saw last time have gone, and I spend the second half wishing they'd take their jinx elsewhere. It's got to be worth a try.

Passing the ball and moving intelligently into space?

Radical, I know.

Radical, I know.

It's passing the ball to the same coloured shirt - that's what our guys have a problem with !

 

[Bladesman]

Unfortunatly our luck has run out and no amount of lucky pants, pints and pies will help us at the moment.

Although still worth a punt I guess aslong as the pants are clean.

 

[Hodgyman]

I promise to make sure that Mrs Hodgyman washes my undercrackers before their return to service.

I hope that you all do your bit too and a warm welcome back to Bergen and friends.

I've been knackered at set-pieces since they took down the old Kop roof. If I lost the flight of the ball or couldn't see the kick because of the pillar then more often than not we'd score. The new pillars are in the wrong place - sit in the wrong place and it's possible to lose the flight of the ball from a penalty.

Never managed to repeat the 'accidental loss of scarf from car window' that was crucial to the 3-1 win at the Sty in '93. 1 mate in near tears, the rest of us in helpless laughter after the window was rolled down to accomodate a lit fag as we rattled up Spital Hill.

Wembley has now removed current shirt, old shirts, printed t-shirts from match attire. Cardiff accounted for lucky keks. Should we ever lose another final, there's every chance I'll be the bloke in the nuddy when we finally lift the FA Cup.

I used to have an pair of Sheffield United boxer shorts, i wore them for years for matches (laundering them in between), and swore they brought good luck. Then last summer they became a bit threadbare, and when England got knocked out of the world cup, i went home, got changed out of them and burnt them using a can of zippo lighter gas on the back garden.

You can blame me for this season now i'm lucky pantless

 

[super_pig]

brownie, it's your fault mate.. official (FACT!)

 

[FleaPitBlade]

I havent been to a game this season. Perhaps I'm the missing lucky charm?

 

[Hodgyman]

Underpants, Goalmints and the attendance of our Norwegian friends 2, Leeds 0. Case proven!!

Of course with a little help from Micky and our heroes, especially Mat Lowson's tremendous performance.

There's only one Micky Adams......

 

[Yossarian]

You're welcome lads. I've been experimenting with something to improve our fortunes, and it appeared to have worked. I haven't wiped my arse all week, and it's paid off big time. Rest assured, I shan't be wiping until May.

 

[travellingblade]

Whenever I don't have anything whatsoever with the match, no radio, no text, no tv, no internet, my team always seem to win.

First real time I noticed was Germany 1 England 5.

This season, I've only "missed" two games, home against Forest, and yesterday.

For our next match, I'm on a flight to Boston, MA?

Yes, wasn't a bad game for us to pick was it! We had a great time as always, delighted with the game.
