scotty Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I used to hover an inch or two above my seat until the game had kicked off. Good for the glutes, yet not disturbing the sitters behind me. Realised it wasn't working when we got relegated and missed out on the playoffs last year. Now, ahead of the game, I just crack one off in trap 2 of the toilets beneath block 42 and wipe the results on the coat of the person who climbs the stairs in front of me. I've not seen us lose since I started doing this and I encourage others to do the same.
saint lard Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Starting the matchday threads when i am unable to go. Got in from work late tonight so couldn't do them......this does not bode well. I am even more edgy now. Will have to do with drinking out of my Saints mug.
SNSUN Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 SMS matchdays I follow the same routine - drive down to Winchester services, get the biggest strongest coffee I can order from Costa. Drive to Lime Street CP, Royal Oak for a couple of beers, off to the ground, programme, burger, browse around shop, game, back to CP then home. It's not really a ritual, just a routine. I do have a ritual during games, which is to clutch onto my MLT Corinthian figure. It has mostly brought us good luck. My missus is a lucky charm too - making her watch Saints instead of her beloved Norwich seems to bring good luck to Saints - I think in the whole time I've brought her to SMS, we've never lost.

Saints67 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I'm no longer taking my son to watch Saints. Two games this season: - Southampton 0 Rochdale 2 Rochdale 2 Southampton 0

MOSaint. Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Were in the Northam block 42 row H but no saying which seat just in case!!
MOSaint. Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Don't forget that watch or he'll be in BIG trouble now that we know. Where does he sit? Were in the Northam block 42 row H but no saying which seat just in case!!
Deppo Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I put the tip of my penis into my cup of Bovril just after I've bought it. We've won every time I've done this.
Spudders Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'm doing as little work as possiable whilst working from home this week, hopefully this will help saints in some way!
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I put the tip of my penis into my cup of Bovril just after I've bought it. We've won every time I've done this. I know the feeling, feel your pain mate.
Deppo Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I know the feeling, feel your pain mate. I've put the tip of my penis in your cup of Bovril a few times, just as a control group to substantiate my superstition.
hutch Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I've put the tip of my penis in your cup of Bovril a few times, just as a control group to substantiate my superstition. Don't put it in his hot dog though, will you
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I've put the tip of my penis in your cup of Bovril a few times, just as a control group to substantiate my superstition. Bull****, you have never bought me a cup of Bovril. In fact, thanks for reminding me, where's that pint you owe me?
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'm in shrlinski later this afternoon as a matter of fact. Up for it?
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 It's currently at the tip of my penis. I do like a good head on my pint not IN it.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I put the tip of my penis into my cup of Bovril just after I've bought it. We've won every time I've done this. Similar. I work behind the counter at SMS and dip the tip of my penis in everyone's bovril before I take their money.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Similar. I work behind the counter at SMS and dip the tip of my penis in everyone's bovril before I take their money. Thats why its so bloo dy cold then. You couldn't do that at Orient. Burnt me top lip last Saturday.
Deppo Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'm in shrlinski later this afternoon as a matter of fact. Up for it? I've been out and about, hammy. Ducking and diving. And sticking the tip of my penis in various beverages, hot and cold.
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I is in my usual spot right dis second. Have to shoot in firty mins doh, be quick if u wants to settle dat beer bill blud. hugs
MOSaint. Posted 19 April, 2011 Posted 19 April, 2011 Heres one for you all my youngest son who is 16 has to wear the same "lucky" clothes we dont go to every game but as many as we can afford with these clothes we have won all 11 games he has worn the complete set to the only one we lost was to manchester united and he forgot to put his watch on, so hopefully Bristol Rovers on saturday will be number 12. Well its now game number 12, Hartlepool next hope its not unlucky 13
Ohio Saint Posted 19 April, 2011 Posted 19 April, 2011 I've given up drinking Bovril, ever! I don't know if it helps Saints win or not, but I feel luckier on a personal level for doing this.
MOSaint. Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Well its now game number 12, Hartlepool next hope its not unlucky 13 Yep so now its 13 straight wins for the lucky clothes, Walsall up next and if thats number 14 he will have to retire them cos next season they wont fit him anymore
paris Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Still drinking in my Saints mug in run up to game ....
JustMike Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 yep, I stay sat in my seat until the 1st Saints player appears from the tunnel at the start of the game, then I feel its safe to stand (not that im approving standing in seated areas, of course)
5string Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 Apologies for digging up and dusting off an old thread, but I felt this is now becoming relevant again, what with us winning matches, an' all. Is anybody performing a 'superstitious' habit a little more conscientiously this season, in an attempt to help maintain our good start? For my part, I have an old Saints mug that I won't drink from in the run up to matches - I found last season that Saints lost whenever I used it! [sorry!]
Turkish Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I had an icon made of Cortese on a cross which I have hanging over my fireplace. Every morning i kiss it and thank him for sacrificing his job to enable us to thrive. Seems to be working so far.

rallyboy Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 This will frighten a few... Yesterday I walked under the ladder attached to scaffolding on Old Northam Road on my way to the ground. I saw it, I headed straight for it - we are Southampton, we walk where we want! But I did put my lucky socks on in the correct order so it was okay.

angelman Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I am not arrogant/delude/stupid/weird enough to think that what I do can influence the outcome of a game. I'm not God.
eurosaint Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I started reading this thread without realising that it was so old until I saw the names of Dune and Deppo ! Them wos the days, eh
Professor Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I am not arrogant/delude/stupid/weird enough to think that what I do can influence the outcome of a game. I'm not God. Appreciate the information that you are not God; I'd be worried for anyone who said they were. Footballers who make some sort of religious signing as if trying to communicate with a god are also a worry, firstly because its a sad sign of how superstition still has such a pernicious hold in society and secondly, because even someone who believes in a god shouldn't be so self-obsessed as to think that this mythical, supernatural being, would favour one individual over another. The idea that a person can influence luck is almost as silly. What is true is that you make your own luck - in other words, what sometimes appears to be luck is a result of a positive action. But that doesn't include wearing your underpants the wrong way round.

If he starts scoring regularly I may convert.
pap Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 Worn the same Saints jacket to each game. Undefeated in all appearances. Three wins. One draw. If I can't go to a game, I'll wear a Saints shirt.
Saint_Abroad Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 When the opposing manager/players show up on the boob tube, and only they are in frame, I give it the middle finger with both hands three times. When Ronnie or just the Saints are in frame I give it a 2 handed thumbs up three times. Nothing like some ol' fashion hand voodoo.
5string Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I started reading this thread without realising that it was so old until I saw the names of Dune and Deppo ! Them wos the days, eh Yes, sorry to resurrect such an old thread - I did a search for 'Superstitions' so I didn't start a new thread, which may have invited the common first reply of "There's already a thread on this", followed by a link to it. Found this, thought it suitable. I am not arrogant/delude/stupid/weird enough to think that what I do can influence the outcome of a game. I'm not God. Appreciate the information that you are not God; I'd be worried for anyone who said they were. .... The idea that a person can influence luck is almost as silly. What is true is that you make your own luck - in other words, what sometimes appears to be luck is a result of a positive action. But that doesn't include wearing your underpants the wrong way round. I don't consider myself to be more arrogant/deluded/stupid/weird/silly/god-like than your standard human, but the human psyche is a wonderful thing and if it makes people feel more comfortable in themselves, why not? Call it 'habit' if you prefer.
Hamilton Saint Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 At half-time I always have Marmite on Toast and a cup of tea in my Saints mug!
angelman Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 Having said what I did earlier.....yesterday, traffic was a bithc. My short cut/alternative was empty. I got the last parking spot in the car park. So when I came across building works on Old Northam Road, I decided not to walk under the ladder on the scaffolding in case the fortune shining down on me disappeared at the game.
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I did everything right yesterday so we all have me to thank for our crushing victory. I was wearing my lucky Saints key ring on my belt in its usual place. I've had it for nearly twenty years and we can all see the results but if the players ever come running out and see that I'm not wearing it then were in for a hiding.
