Superstitions?

[Brighton4eva]

I have brought my old "lucky" Brighton Shirts out of retirement and if they do the job for me today and we get a result against Watford I'm gonna wear it every day until the end of the season.

Anybody else have any pre-match superstitions?

Yeah, drink beer. Only been for the past couple of months, but it helps me put up with the "football" we're playing at the mo.

I always get up, get ready, then catch the train.

I have loads, and most of them patheticly anal. Must have a bacon sandwich on the day of the game, must take my old stubb out my footy wallet before putting the new ticket in, same clothes till we lose, a cigarette at certain times etc etc.

It's your fault. We have had some dreadful results since you started joining us for a drink.

I wear a new pair of lucky socks. The only trouble is I can't get my shoes on now.

I always used to go into the newsagents on the Old Shoreham Road, near the traffic lights, to buy my matchday programme and half time choccy bar. Since we left the Goldstone I have never had any superstitions, or needed to abide by them, touch wood...

555kaz, you must have an amazingly large wardrobe at the moment, or smell of Persil.

It's got so bad that I say to myself maybe it was the sock I wore on my left foot and just change that one

The strange thing about superstitions is that they cannot work.
If it is fate that the team are going to lose then they will lose. No amount of 'right' socks or shirts are actually going to change that.
I don't believe in luck or fate apart from the fact that the harder you work and practise the luckier you get.

I agree that a team makes its own luck by the way it plays but I just feel better doing my little bit on the day

True if superstions worked, every team in the country would be top of the table with max points, I need to get me some of the socks that Abromavich wears

Like Leeds? That was a shocker. Even the ref couldn't get them to win.

(See you on the train in about an hour)

I've sussed the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both times I've worn the White shirt we've lost to teams we should have beat (Millwall and Leicester). Sorry guys those results were my fault.

I've just realised that the day we beat Leeds, I actually won a game of pool.
That's the answer. You, Bakesy and Doug have got to let me win the games this afternoon

Nice bacon & fried egg sandwich
