Time to break the 13 year curse?

[Foxy]

In 1968, we needed to beat Chelsea to stay up. We lost and went down.

In 1981, we needed to draw with Walsall to stay up. We lost and went down.

In 1994 we needed to draw with Chelsea to stay up. We lost and went down.

In 2007 we need (probably) to draw with Wigan to stay up.....

13 just so happens to be my lucky number

I am taking medication for the curse caught when...... anyway thats not a football story.

I was devestated leaving Chelsea in 94 and don't ever want to experience that again, but to quote NW on Saturday, 'what will be will be'

We will only break it if we play to our capabilites, and put in a performance like that against West Ham, Fulham and Charlton at home.

The mind games have started, paul Jewell saying they have no pressure on them, who is he kidding, if they dont win they will be relegated, that has to dictate how they play and we have to score first. If they score they will defend in numbers and be extremely difficult for us to break down, if we score first then they have to attack and may well leave themselves very exposed to a counter attack.

what I do know is its giving me a headache and has done nothing to improve my shattered nerves.

I'm with Keenzy on this one, 13 is my lucky number.

Couldn't feel any better myself as well after reading that

Hey you never know we could beat wigan 13-0.

 

[fan4ever]

I have a feeling Sheffield Utd will make 2 substitutions in this match which means using a total of 13 players against Wigan

Why don't we bloody start 13 players... what are the Premier League gonna do about it?

 

[Sensiblade]
