Superstitions for Wembley

[PeterWithe]

I was mentioning that I was going to have to wear the jacket I wore to the Liverpool and Boro games as it was lucky for semi finals and Wembley, I wasn’t looking forward to it in 25 degree sunshine.

My mate saved the day by pointing out I wore it for the Arsenal game so it was unlucky for finals.

As you were...

I'm thinking of working as every time I work during a Villa game we win and I get a new client. I have a meeting booked but must decide tomorrow whether or not to cancel it. I'd be back to see the second half. It's tempting.

One thing I won't be doing is going to a pub/bar showing the game. Wembley 2000 and again in 2015 put a stop to that.

Saturday is going to be a strange day. Win and everything is alright with the world. Anything else isn't worth considering.

Go to the fucking meeting!

I was planning to but the bugger's just canceled. Now what? Maybe I'll just watch from 6.20pm to see the penalty shoot out.

I haven't bought any new clothes for a decade at least, so I'm pretty confident I own nothing that hasn't at sometime borne witness to a twatting.

My usual colours are scarf, hat, gloves and jumper, weather dependent. They won't be joining me this weekend. I never wear a shirt to a match though, so I'm going to break with convention, and wear my '89-'90 one as my contribution to the claret and blue wall.

Firstly, it still fits!

Secondly, according to eBay, it's worth £150!

It's not superstitious, but they have to start somewhere. Here's hoping it's regularly worn and never washed for many years to come.

Ive only ever once worn a Villa shirt to a game, the Everton away SGT finale.

It was a momentary lapse.

And then arrange and go to another one! Crap! Got to the end of the thread and I'm now a nervous wreck as your meeting is cancelled - get phoning around - meet a shaman, priest, witch doctor or door to door vacuum seller!!

I'm gonna need a bloody good reason not to!

I am not bringing my "Salford Villa" Union Flag which is cursed forever and I disown it .A new flag will grace 536 and I hope it dawns a new era of ensign luck.

Bought a sprig of lucky heather from a gypsy in town the other day and made a wish...

I crossed my fingers for most home games of the 80/81 and 81/82 seasons, but stopped after that as I left the UK.  However, I have recently started doing it again.  Not as flexible as I used to be, but it seems to work wonders. 

When watching on TV I also physically "head" the ball out away from our goal when it comes in from corners or crosses.  After years of doing so (bearing in my I do not watch every game) Villa have never conceded a goal when I've done it.  I've got my kids doing it as well.

Really looking forward to tomorrow.  I can't be there but will of course be watching on 'TV' with fingers crossed and neck muscles suitably flexed.

I always try to visualise a wall across the opposition goal. Sometimes it is brick, sometimes it is plate glass. I concentrate really hard on making sure it is completely solid. When I used to take my neighbour's daughter, and my little cousin, I used to get them to do it too. Sometimes we raise our hands in front of us and repeat the word 'Wall! Wall, Wall!'

Sometimes I swear it is only us that have kept it out - you look and think it's the only explanation.

No idea why I consider a certain watch and pair of earrings as 'lucky', but they're on my dressing table ready for tomorrow.

My purple and black socks which made their debut for the Wolves 4-1 win are washed and ready. Also, stopping at Hilton London Metropole where we stayed for the Liverpool Semi-Final, but made the mistake of Hilton Hyde Park for the Final!

We've never lost a game on a day when I've had a threesome with Swedish twin sisters.
