Maybe its a hangover from my time spent posting on GG where they are jokingly nitpicky about this kind of thing with their match threads (I haven't posted there in years and don't even have an account on their latest forum so lets not discuss GG vs SC etc)

Anyway before the West Ham game I came on here to read team news etc, and noticed the match banner on the front page

note the worried look on Jan's face, and Noble running off in celebration. It felt like we had given them a goal head start when I saw that image. I saved the image thinking to make a silly thread if the worst happened, but forgot about it (I think we all wish we could forget that game) until logging on tonight and seeing the image created for the Man City game

Aguero celebrating, Walker and Sandro definitely not celebrating, look like they are getting organised at a defensive free kick

Granted there is no proof these images have any effect on our performance, but this is one silly thing I am superstitious about, and it seems like a fairly harmless request to make of whoever creates these images for each game, so my simple request is please could we ensure not to use images of our opponents celebrating goals for the match threads

The way we are playing right now I think this is a worth a try, who knows, this might even turn our season around

Yours hopefully,

CAPO

This should be merged into the Conspiracy thread lol

But a good spot mate, and tbh, anything that might help us score some goals is welcome by me.

I am with you, brother. I even think that when A & C does a poo thread, we are going to play shit for ten minutes per 'funny' rating.

Wibble.

Long Live The Cursed Summer Transfer Window 2013 Banner Conspiracy!!!!

Banners are our downfalls. The sooner we realize this, the better off we will be.

Good lord you're onto something.

The Newcastle players look happy, whereas Soldado looks like he's angrily yelling at someone to pass him the ball.

You'd say that's a face only a mother could love...

But i think that face is in part due to the fact that (out of picture) the aforementioned mother has just pointed her shotgun at him.

All that's missing from that image is a toilet seat.

Chrisivad does a good job with the banners, but it does raise the question, why has he picked awful pics for those 2 games, pics which contrast horribly next to the joyous looking, celebratory pics of our opponents?
