Who’s got the best omen? (6 Viewers)

[fred binneys head]

OK, so you’re just about going to win the “who’s got the most fans?” competition, but who’s got the best omen about Monday?

I’ll give you two of ours:

1) When we got promoted out of the conference we first lost at Wembley against a team from a seaside town in the north west, then went back to Wembley the following season and beat a team beginning with C.

Last season we lost at Wembley against Blackpool and this season we are back at Wembley playing Coventry.....

2) When we lost at Wembley to Morecambe we had 3 or 4 times the number of fans than they did. When we beat Cambridge the following year we had fewer fans than them. When we lost last season against Blackpool we had 3 or 4 times the number of fans than they did (due to their boycott). This season we will have fewer fans than the opposition.....

As we all know, the result of any football match is determined solely by omens, such as what pants we’re wearing, which testicle we scratch first as the teams run out, etc - so let’s see who’s going to win by hearing your omens.

Apologies if I’m taking a liberty by starting a thread on your board, no offence intended - it’s the cyber equivalent of “steaming in”.

1. West end of Wembley is lucky to us
2. Each time we've won we've beaten a team higher in the table
3. We've never lost in the playoffs
4. Every time we've played a team from south of us we've won

Coventry City have never lost a playoff final after Max Biamou has scored a brace in the semi final second leg......

 

[fred binneys head]

Got to say I’m feeling pretty confident after your early attempts.

 

[Skybluefaz]

We're doing it for big C.

 

[fred binneys head]

Consider my heartstrings duly tugged.

 

[no_loyalty]

We have already beaten a team at Wembley, who were also there the year before

 

[fred binneys head]

Getting better. By 11pm I will have convinced myself not to bother going on Monday, like the other 10,000 bastards who were there last year.

 

[wingy]

We haven't lost at Wembley when wearing a striped kit .

Can’t remember your playoff last year apart from
V Blackpool , what was the score etc? Fair result?

 

[fred binneys head]

We lost 2-1 and yes it was a fair result. We conceded early but then kept possession well and deservedly equalised just before half time. Unfortunately, in the second half the pressure got to our young team, despite a much bigger and louder following, and they caved - whereas Blackpool handled the pressure and consequently played better, and duly won.

It can be a huge weight on a young team to have the expectations of a huge crowd on your shoulders, as well as knowing your club desperately need to get promoted and wearing the blue and white striped memories of a glorious past team, with their talisman centre forward looking down on you. Let’s hope your young boys cope, eh?

The best omen for Monday, that's easy, Grendel not going.

Fred's started paying mind games with us - I quite liked him up until now; but now I think he's an Exeter City mind guru who's trying to influence the outcome of the match on Monday. Bet you were involved in the Brexit campaign, and Trump's election, weren't you Fred? Never going to trust you again.

And the second letter of the place they were from was an X

 

[christonabike]

I’m thinking of going ......
First game after not buying a season ticket this year won’t mention it again but over 23 years lol....
Accrington Stanley 2-0
Yeovil 2-6
Morcombe 0-0
I’m staying away and I really hope we get over the line. Would be a great game for me and the little one but I think if I don’t go we will do it. How mad is that!
PUSB!

I’m genuinely not concerned only 3 will start that played in last years final (Burge, Willis & Stokes) but they seem a confident fired up bunch last years lot were mentally weak but some how pulled it out the bag.

My concern is we don’t get too carried away ie get done on the counter as we’re not used to playing similar footballing sides and the race we’ve got no out and out wide outlets (Grimmer will provide that I guess) but stokes isn’t your marauding full back and 2cms wide in midfield.

If I was Exeter I’d really stretch play, do you have proper wingers?

Rumbled, good and proper.

No we don’t, but we are an excellent counter attacking team. I will be genuinely fascinated with how this match plays out - two bright, relatively young, British managers with young teams who try to play the right way. I think we’ll win but can understand your confidence - that’s why it will be a good game.

That’s good shit right there.

Richard and Ann Thorn.

You're not allowed to go behind the goal at one end of Oxfords ground and we beat them at Wembley. No coincidence that nobody is allowed behind the goal at St James Park.
Save your hard earned and stay at home Monday. You can't possibly win given that omen.

 

[fred binneys head]

Not sure what that means Otis, are they CCFC fans?

No, Damien's parents.

I’d love to disagree but I think you might be right, that’s the sort of stuff I was hoping for when I started the thread.

 

[fred binneys head]

No, Damien's parents.

1-0 to Otis. Nice finish.

 

[Johnnythespider]

No, Damien's parents.

I thought that was Delboy and Raquel

 

[oakey]

We have won every final we have played at Wembley.
We have won every game we have played at Wembley in spring.
Teams wearing blue are winning trophies this year. It is not a red year, sorry.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

We have a 100% win record in playoff matches and Wembley matches against clubs with animals in their badge, whereas we have a 100% loss record in playoff matches and Wembley matches against clubs with no animals in their badge. Exeter have animals on their badge (some kind of hawk/ parrot thing).

 

[fred binneys head]

If by “some kind of hawk / parrot thing” you mean two winged horses and a lion, then yes, spot on.

 

[fred binneys head]

And what about Notts county at home?

Your omen is built on sand.

That's bat-shit crazy.

Not mad at all...Although it’s enforced by a holiday in my case, I’m working on exactly the same premise that my presence will only bring disaster.

Close enough. What’s the thinking behind the unicorns on your badge?
