    I am definitely supertitious when it comes to my two teams; Swannies and Chelsea FC.

    Every time I wear the colours of my teams, they lose. I've gotten to the point where I won't even where the kit's sponsors brand the day/night of. It is ridiculously consistent. And I need help..
    C'mon Chels!

    There seems to be a pleasingly regular alternating pattern as well.
    A few people have brought this one up on Twitter, I think it's just a coincidence, but having said that I feel that having a high pressure game like that just before the finals might be just what we needed, we've had a few easy games / regulation wins in the second half of the season. We need to approach every final like Richmond approached Round 23 and if we do that I believe there is an excellent chance that we will be lifting up the cup on grand final day.

    Can I make a request?

    For the month of September can you dress in black and the day after the grand final wear your Chelsea gear as much as you want.

    Memories of my all time fave RWO thread, circa 2005, featuring the inimitable Sanecow.

    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    I am a wearer of black, particularly to games. But I think I can banish the Chelsea superstition for this season, no matter what I wear they'll be winning!! Who do you support?
    C'mon Chels!

    And Nick (NMBloods)? Who was the ubiquitous poster who always subtly ran the Swans and Roos down?

    As a Manchester City Fan, I fully endorse this request
