Instead of my usual Villa polo shirt, for no particular reason I wore a non-football navy blue sweater for the Derby game, the first of our 10 game winning streak. I superstitiously wore it every game after that including sweltering in a heatwave at Bolton.
I left it off for the dead rubber against Norwich - we didn't need to win and I wanted to conserve its power. I wore it for both legs of the play-off semi-final and at Wembley.
Considering its job done, I retired it this year, wanting once again to wear Villa colours.
But I'm strongly considering un-retiring it tonight. In two minds because if we win , I'll have to carry on wearing it, but I don't know ....we really need a win tonight, maybe it's time .
[Yeah, I know its bollocks. But we all know how many committed atheists change their mind on their death bed "just in case"........, ]
Thoughts please H and V ....To wear or not to wear, that is the question !!!
