Something happened on Saturday that got me thinking about matchday superstitions.
I didn’t have any until Saturday. Basically, I have never been one for wearing club colours and certainly not replica shirts. Nothing to do with crap about ‘grown men shouldn’t’ and all that, just not for me.
Anyway, two of the cup final replica shirts had been purchased for me and the lad and so on Saturday lunchtime I put it on. As I was looking in the mirror I realised the last time I wore one of these was the one produced for the Carling Cup Final in 2006 (my mum/wife/daughter or someone bought it for me and I felt obliged to wear it). Well, we all know what happened that time so, as the seven other family members were already outside in two taxis waiting for me, I ripped it off and stuck on an old polo shirt and hoody.
Thank God, and never again will I consider wearing one to a game again(except for playing/coaching duties). I might have to put one on and take it off again now before every game, but that’s superstitions I suppose.
What about you?
I agree I refrained from ‘shirts’ as equally I don’t do that, Joe and Louise wore shirts but superstistion saw them conceal them under tops. i wore my usual blue lucky ‘umbro’ polo shirt, although for the first time I wore a 40 year old blue and white bar scarf(that I didnt wear when we played Millbrawl.)
I’ll wear it todayI’m not supersticious but I believe in fate.
Negative and positive.
Swansea last week was only the 2nd time I’ve been severely delayed in traffic going to ground…1st was Wolves 2009 (Bobbys 1st home game).
The mental side of me said we’d loose versus the sheep
Said it before but I didn’t sleep all night after we drew Millwall…I knew then it was on and remembered Wimbledon. I was 100% sure we would lift the cup. I told you so over and over that we would win…the footy gods had made it so…25 yrs, other sports in town, Bobby managing both…It was too scary a coincidence for it not to happen
I posted David V Goliath on Friday…
Sat morning the wife and I walked into Covent Garden…there it was David V Goliath on the wall…
Got off T’Underground at Wembley Park about 2.30 it was P**ing down. Said to wife that’s an omen…our semi it poured down, City v Chelski was a lovely day.
When the teams went up on the screen, we realised the scale of the task. Especially the bench…their’s was awesome; ours was last man standing.
No footballing logic seeing those names could see us winning. We didn’t have a cat in hells chance on paper….
But football is played on grass ;)

We defied overwelhming odds. We shook the footballing world.
Believe
A certain poster that comes on here has a casual shirt that he worn for the first time at Mac, hes not washed it since and worn it to all the cup games and is now saving it for the charity shield.
been to 8 away this season, league and cup, I’ve yet to see us lose.
On that note I’ve decided that, If I can get a ticket and some transport I will be attending Arsenal tonight, If I don’t were down :(:(
Is that superstitious ?
I am now feeling very positive about tonight…it’s fated again because…

A fookin Magpie has been stalking me all day, outside the office window. Then when I left for home, it was sat in front of my car !
Don’t like it, they’re a bad luck omen !
