Weird Everton superstitions

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Do you have one?

My other half brought me an Everton mug. We've been mostly crap since she got it me. I noticed we unfailingly lost if I drank from it on the day of the match, so I stopped doing it. Sometimes I forgot.

Anyway, the good lady has just dropped and smashed said mug. On that basis the curse is lifted and we are absolutely snorting Leicester later and will get into Europe, nea*.

So yeah, anyone got anything stupider?



*please don't vault me on this.

….when I was a kid in ‘66 we played Coventry in an early round of the FA Cup & won 3-0. My mum noticed my swimming certificate was upside down on the mantle piece so every round after that the certificates came out & placed upside down above the fire.

We won the cup that year so it worked a treat but not when it was tried the following season.

My lucky mug smashed, so I replaced it with the same one. Which also smashed - this time in a horrific mug massacre when it hit the kitchen floor along with 3 others.

I don’t think the universe wants me to have a lucky mug. So now I mainly wear my GoT-approved t-shirt on match day and be done with it.

Which, evidentially, I can say has absolutely no discernible effect on the team’s performance whatsoever.

If I'm watching at home (most games unless I fly over) I'll drink the same drink until we lose a game.... Then I'll stick with that until the next loss.

(last season meant I had a lot of drinks to rotate)

Whenever I watch the game on telly we always seem to lose.
If I listen to it on the radio we always seem to win.

Sometimes If I have been working and listening on radio and we are winning I will dash home to watch on the telly... Then we concede of course

My only superstition I like to maintain is if Everton get beat to log onto GOT and try somehow to blame the fans for that loss.

Well, they certainly don't help.

His superstition or the fans?

His superstition or the fans?

A strong case can be made for both.

I've found everything I do ends up in defeat over the last few years. Especially away from home.

I have always checked the fudge-smudge inside my grundies, if it veers to the left we invariably win, to the right we tend to draw or get beat. Sadly, since old age and decrepitude has slackened my anal sphincter, my blerts have a disastrous effect and the inside of my grundies end up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting, with no discernible lines

Fairly sure you actually do this. Not 100%, like.
