Superstitions.
When #NUFC started stringing together a bit of form under Eddie Howe, this Wikipedia page was left open in a Chrome tab. So now it’s a saved tab, so I see it daily.

Also wearing new socks to almost every game. United being decent again has cost a small fortune.

Can I just check all the Toon fans are aware there's a team in Gibraltar called Bruno's Magpies FC. Amazingly the name has literally nothing to do with NUFC, just a total coincidence. They've been in the Europa Conference 3 seasons in a row (all the bigger shame we didn't get there and play them)

My wife did me a coffee in the wrong cup the other week and she got us beat off Brighton 😡

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

A disgrace. She may as well have played Danny Welbeck in on goal..

razorsgc.bsky.social•109 days ago

I hope the divorce papers have been filed

bigjimwinsalot.bsky.social•109 days ago

Couldn’t do that to her we’ve too much in common

geordioca.bsky.social•109 days ago

It was either that or me inadvertently putting on the wrong socks...

garethblackwood.bsky.social•109 days ago

I walked out the house absolutely convinced we’d win that game…always a bad sign

rqstewart.bsky.social•109 days ago

i knew it was something like that. had to be. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

gavoth.bsky.social•109 days ago

I have to say “Come on you fuckers” at kick-off. If I’m in a conversation and don’t we’ll lose.

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

“Howay United” here. If I’m thinking on..

nobbyclarke.bsky.social•109 days ago

My youngin has a new one where he HAS to bring his scarf. He had a 100% win record before the Brighton game a few weeks ago (where we forgot it) and he brought it back for Arsenal.

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

Oh that’ll be fun on those hot end of season days.. You’ll end up carrying it for him all day long.

nobbyclarke.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m already carrying all his ket in my pockets 😂

stevemallam.bsky.social•109 days ago

If we win I have to make sure I continue to wear the same pants and socks for every game until we lose. And then I have to make sure I DON’T wear the same pairs!

iainjames.bsky.social•109 days ago

I have to shoot howay Newcastle. I don’t ever say it apart from the start of a game. Odd, but I do it every time!

oldagemag.bsky.social•109 days ago

“Into these you black and white bastards” is my go to kick off encouragement.

howay-man-chris.bsky.social•109 days ago

I'm in Yorkshire with nee ST, so majority of my games are on TV.

I've GOT to wear my toon top to watch it, even if it's just me and the cat at home, otherwise we'll lose if I just wear a normal T-shirt.

themaybepile.bsky.social•109 days ago

Seeing magpies out and about on a game day before kick off always gives me either optimism or dread. Just one and we may as well forfeit.

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

Aye. I’ve stopped to spot a second magpie myself..

pdl1.bsky.social•109 days ago

Amazing to think that every time #nufc win, it's because 50,000 fans have each got their routines absolutely spot on.

lburns1612.bsky.social•109 days ago

I have to vote one less on a poll of what I think we will do, so a win I have to put draw etc.
If I'm watching at home, I will be standing up first half, if it went well I'll continue, if it didn't I have to move where I am standing or sit down.
Bizarrely in the ground I have no set superstitions

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

Not sat down as we kick off. That’s another with me..

lburns1612.bsky.social•109 days ago

The standing up one is relatively new, it started in the Leicester game when we were 2 up after like 5 minutes, think it was boxing day or there abouts

gazco.bsky.social•109 days ago

I used to watch Eddie's press conference on a Friday, then I missed one, and they became unbeatable, so next time they lose presume, I've managed to watch again.

nufcthreatlevel.com•109 days ago

These things all sound stupid but they make for solid, unshakable logic in our own minds..

electricviking.bsky.social•109 days ago

Treat myself to a Joelinton 7 away shirt for my 50th this season. Stone cold classic, wore it at the match during his slump. Stopped wearing it he goes mint again. Can't wear it anymore 😄. Nowt to do with him playing higher up the pitch, defo my shirt 😅

gazco.bsky.social•109 days ago

It's makes no sense at all but also makes loads of sense
