We are pants

[TheFlashingBlade]

In all of the understandable mass love-ins going on on here, one contributor to our recent unprecedented success has been harshly overlooked. I refer, of course, to my Lucky Pants.



I first wore them to the promotion winning game away at Northampton, and vowed to wear them, and crucially not wash them, at every game until the League 1 title had been secured. I guess it was my own version of Corky's '93 FA Cup beard. Only slightly less hygienic.

Having helped us achieve Target #2, and having realised the "Power of the Pants", how could I wash them before 100 points had been achieved?

And then the HUUUUGE leap to La Liga. Could we cope without my now proven Pant Power? I wasn't prepared to risk it. And I wasn't prepared to risk washing away the power either. So I hid them over the summer from my laundry-crazed girlfriend (who by this time was hunting high and low for them, armed with rubber gloves and industrial strength detergent), retrieving them from their secret hidey-hole in time for the Brentford opener.

Then disaster. I went away on work and forgot to pack The Pants. The result? The results at Boro and Cardiff. Proving conclusively, no pants no points.

The pants were back on for the Barnsley derby, the Derby non-derby, Sunlan and Notlob and the Blades were back on track.

As of today, my Pants current record is...

Northampton away WO(r)N 2-1
Port Vale away WO(r)N 3-0 [while listening on BladesPlayer]
Bradford home WO(r)N 3-0 [while watching on TV]
MK Dons away WO(r)N 3-0
Chesterfield home WO(r)N 3-2
Brentford home WO(r)N 1-0
Boro away NOT WO(r)N 0-1
Cardiff away NOT WO(r)N 0-2

I am just about to go on my hols for two weeks, but don't worry, I'm not taking any chances. I will be wearing them on flight EK030 tomorrow afternoon (apologies to the person in seat 88B*) and, most importantly, I will be wearing them on the beach (much to my girlfriend's horror no doubt) on the 24th. Well, they could, at a push, pass for swimming trunks, no?

Does anyone else have an "unsung hero" they think is deserving of a little appreciation? Surely, seeing as how football fans are generally a lot of superstitious so and so's, someone else must have a little superstitious so and so tucked away somewhere...

(* Apologies also to anyone who sits near me on the Kop. You thought that the empty seats behind the pillar on the right were because of the restricted view . . . let's just say that's not the only reason)

What a moving and emotional tale of how a fan and his under crackers have saved our club

is it possible to get a signed unwashed pair in a frame

 

[derfblade.3]

And here are mine. A bit soiled due to added on time in midweek!

 

[Billyblade]

We once stopped at a services on the way to the play-off final with Palace and got talking to a Blade who showed us his lucky red and white carrier bag. It was one of those stripy ones you get from a takeaway.
Apologies if you're on here mate but fucking hell, really?

Yer it will have probably have been Kenny Blade (or 2-1 Ken from radio Sheff)
He's not got that bag now as we told teddy in the standard it had a plastic bottle in it and she ripped it up.

P,S Teddys a dog (Bitch) at the pub and she loves plastic bottles.

When we've won the Premier League a year next May, will you be donating them to the Legends of the Lane? Or are they destined for the Champions League? By the way, are the thin stripes purple or blue?

If we win the league I'll buy you a pint (of febreze).

Your adherence to pants loyalty is laudable....but....you may wish to reconsider if you happen to delve into what can happen when you allow faith to overcome skin issues.

The derma, in plain english the skin, is a very sensitive thing that we do well to take care of, so if you're not washing your 'lucky' pants you may wish to reconsider. By all means wear them as often as you like, but be aware that unclean material can evolve into a repository for all manner of skin threatening nasties. In moments of excitement (watching the Blades?) you could well develop sweaty bollocks, and if this happens, the combination of sweaty genitalia and whatever lingers within the fabric of your pants, can cause a yeast-like chemistry that results in extreme itchiness. Not nice or easy to get rid of, so take care of your bollocks mate, they're far more important than a pair of pants that you've assigned magical properties. Plus be aware that if you were unfortunate enough to have contracted something unpleasant the chances of transferring this to your partner is high.

Funny post that , well done.

What's even funnier though is that some folks really do believe in a lucky pair of pants, or in my mate's case, socks. Back in the '80's he always used to wear this pair of salmon coloured socks when we went to away games. He was totally convinced that our chances of winning were improved by him doing so. It wasn't borne out by statistics - but even one win in 10 would be enough to reassure him of their magical powers.

TBH - I don't believe in any of this stuff. I don't believe in any of the superstition or nonsense that surround the game of football and seems to be ingrained in many football fans. There are no such things as "bogey teams" or "bogey grounds". The constant trotting out of completely meaningless statistics, like "X club haven't won at X ground since 1953" when they might not have even played them since 1953. It's just complete bollocks really. But, if folks find some source of amusement or entertainment in it, then fair enough, but I wouldn't recommend they pursue a career that requires any sort of scientific basis or analysis of numbers and statistics.
