Your pre-game rituals

[T LEAFE]

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

I guess it depends on which side you dress

A few pints in the elm then tug one off in the lower gwladys bogs.

Well for me and my dad it’s about a 4 hour trip so we meet up around 8 and get on the way. Then we always go to the Chinese chippy by the car park and usually watch the early kick off in that pub on the corner by goodison. Probably have a look around the club shop being first game of the season too.

Not really a ritual there but that’s what we do!

Get bleach from the shed and put it in my fridge for later.

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.

Pint of wine too?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Get bleach from the shed and put it in my fridge for later.

I actually find it's better consumed at room temperature.

i bow to the Marcel Brands shrine I have in my closet

i take inspiration from Helga in Hey Arnold

 

[barneygumble]

Get 2.30 train to Kirkdale, buy a water from the homebargain, enter ground at 2:59, moan about the game.

Come home, and finally start to enjoy my weekend.

Repeat x 19.

Meet the lads in Rigbys or lady of Mann at 11.30, consume around 6 pints of German wheat beer, stumble onto Dale Street around 2.50 and flag a cab to the game.

 

[Hellerad]

Try to talk myself out of watching.


Then try to talk myself into watching.


Then convince myself it all went tits up because I was watching.

 

[Badge1878]

Wake up with optimism on the morning of the game, but in recent years this has usually disappeared by half time. It’s the hope that kills me though because I’m actually looking forward to going the game again this year.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I googled this to see what movie it was from.

It's from American Psycho.

Wake up, make coffee...watch the match while doing my best Al Bundy impersonation on the couch in my boxers, because I'm classy.
