Allanthediver Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 What superstitions and /or items of clothing will people be making sure of doing/wearing on Monday. I'll be wearing the pants I had on at WBA in the last match of the regular season. Didn't wear them for Leeds home leg but had 'em on for Leeds away leg. It was obviously the pants that made the difference...so I won't be taking a risk ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TibshelfRam Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I was at the first leg. Second leg - I was in Amsterdam airport watching the match on my phone. I saw Marriott's first and Mount's goals. 1-2 - back in it. But was going to have to stop watching in order to catch the flight. Told my Mrs there was 'no way I can stop watching now and not know what happens for another 2 hours'. Turns out, some guy got hammered on the flight before ours so we were delayed in boarding. Never been so pleased for a delayed flight. Had to ignore all the 'please put your phones into flight mode' until the last second. We were pretty much heading down the runway as the final whistle went and my Mrs, with her phobia of flying, didn't seem quite so keen to join in the celebrations as we took off. Strange, really. I have a ticket for Wembley, but if anybody is superstitious and wants to fork out for an all expenses paid trip to Amsterdam for me instead, then I'm open to offers. Probably won't take the Mrs this time, though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Took my dad to the first leg... not taking him to Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I said before the Leeds game, I was going to St Ives and every time I am in Cornwall something big/good happens to our club. We hired McLaren first time, hired Lampard, beat Man U in September, finally fired Pearson, fired Clough (I was happy at least), amongst other things....and then last Wednesday, we beat Leeds United. Just a bloody shame I am in London on Monday and not in Cornwall because promotion would be guaranteed...sorry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I will be wearing my lucky socks. Usually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Got to wear my 18/19 away shirt, which I've worn for all our big games on the run-in. It's not black and it's not white, but I daren't leave it behind. Even though I was the one scoffing at all this superstitious nonsense at the beginning of the season it's got to me again!

It was obviously the pants that made the difference...so I won't be taking a risk ?? I wore my 'lucky pants ' for both Leeds games on the premise that we only lost 1-0. I did tho wear different shorts. Unfortunately I am unable to wear said shorts as I ripped a massive hole in them whilst prancing around the pub celebrating the 4th. (Shouldn't wear slim fit at my age) I took them into Belper to have them mended but they wouldn't be back til Wednesday. So the conundrum is 1. Same shorts with arse hanging out all day but at least my lucky pants will be on show. 2. Remember that I'm 51 and it makes no difference Which ever course of action I decide upon I will still be razoring my head to babys bottom style as it clearly brings us luck.

BaaLocks Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Always love the idea that the players run on to the pitch, look up into the stands and say to each other "it's OK, Pete's got his lucky socks on". As for me, I wore a pair of Cuban heel bits too the 1976 semi final. Never again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even bought me an original 71/72 league champions enamel badge off eBay. .. I won’t be wearing it but it will be draped on the telly ( gave my ticket to a “needy” family member ? which is true sacrifice that will be rewarded in heaven, or sometime Monday evening ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I’m wearing my dodgy Facebook Derby knock off black tee shirt, I bought it in the aftermath of the Manure win, and wore it again the night of the second leg at Leeds. Can’t wear owt else can I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right way out front then backwards. Inside out front then backwards. Sorted...good for the environment too as saves water and detergent ???
