We have a 'lazer beam' sticker stuck high up on a lamp-post near Charlton Park that gets a lucky slap on the way past. It's been there for 20 years. If you see it, don't forget to give it a lucky slap.
The 'lazer beam' sticker replaced a 'Wiley Coyote says Brush your Teeth' sticker that fell off.
On the Friday before a Saturday game, or the day of a midweek game, I go up the Tube escalator on the left if we're at home, and on the right if we're away.
Get my two girls to scream out come on Charlton just before kick off or if were losing. Used to have my scarf proudly on display (until we went 6 on the spin without a win). Don't mention the score to anyone during the game even when we are winning 5-2 in injury time, you just never know. I never used to be this bad when I was a regular, now I'm a long distance fan the neurosis grows. My wife refers to my magical thinking and thinks my many superstitions are nuts, she's South African what does she know about football
When ever my mate Boothy goes to the toilet, We score, I reckon out of the 32 Home goals this season, He has probably seen about 10, He missed 4 of the 5 Cardiff goals somehow, So we normally try and get him to drink a lot before the match :')
If were away, I can only have 99% Charge on my Phone - That's the weirdest one :')
Same with me. If I go to the toilet there's usually a goal, but not always for us. If we're really struggling & don't look like we'll ever score, I go on purpose. Usually works.
(NB, at home when watching football or cricket, it's the same. If I walk out the room, 99% of the time I miss a goal or a wicket. It's a running joke in my house. I literally only have to close the door & GOAL ! or a wicket falls. It really is uncanny.
