Your pre-game rituals

[leslad]

Ahead of the first home game of the season (boooo, these are [Poor language removed] Everton FFS, PASS IT FORWARDS etc), I thought I'd ask what people like to do before attending goodison.

Do you drive over and have people mind your car? In the Thomas Frost for 9am for a pint with breakfast? Chips and curry sauce from the supper bar? Do you have any random superstitions that you just have to do?

Bet there's a few superstitions, I remember watching us beat Wolfsburg in the Excelsior a few years ago, and some fella wouldn't let me go the toilet during the second half as he was convinced that if I did we'd lose. So basically watched the half cross-legged and we won thanks to my tank bladder.

 

[Tubey]

I lie in bed in a listless state trying to somehow summon the energy to get dressed and amble down to Goodison Park like a man heading to the gallows to witness another terrible example of lax professionalism, resulting in a heady mixture of profound boredom and uncontrollable anger.

I also occasionally grab a hot dog.

 

[canuckblue]

Breakfast from McDonald's. That way, I can't feel worse the rest of the day no matter the result.

 

[DanB90]

I apply bubble wrap to the cat.

 

[Sir Alan]

I apply bubble wrap to the cat.

IMO this should be standard procedure before all games for all fans.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Sit down on the bog with the paper and have a massive Sigurdsson.

 

[T LEAFE]

I count the magpies on my dog walk. It’s usually one
Then I go on the loo

 

[Big Fat Sam]

A vank and a clearing of my internet cache to ensure a smooth stream. Oh "before attending Goodison". Wouldn't know that feeling since I've been abroad for nearly a decade.

 

[MrD]

Stub my toe.

stand on a Lego brick or upturned plug.

Burn the roof of my mouth during breakfast.

Step in dogsh!t.......etc etc

 

[RomanReigns]

i like to milly rock all the way to my seat

 

[Lelouch]

Pray.

 

[Aberblue]

I like to walk around Goodison Park before going in.

Obviously it has no effect whatever on the result but I do it nevertheless.

Have you walking in the opposite direction. Not that it would make a blind bit of difference.

 

[Flano21]

Always go in through the left side of the turnstile for some reason. Feels weird going through the right

 

[Death]

Nut into a sock, 3 Yeager bombs, a fat rail then I charge out of the gaf.
