I managed to find a pair of claret boxers with a blue waistband in ASDA, so bought them. Wife hates them, (says they look like council pants!) and they are really uncomfortable, but we haven't lost this season when I have been wearing them.

I do wash them inbetween wears btw!

I always have a piss before ordering a beer when I get to The Bartons before a game.

Used to be that if we lost, I wouldn't wear the t-shirt I had on that day again but have far too many now and can only identify one that is definitely unlucky. Try to wear the same top for cup runs. Also have semi banned myself from going to games in Manchester. 10 visists, 10 defeats.

After today, make that two
