I always feel I am jinxing Villa whenever I watch them, either at VP or on TV. Just as an example, due to where I live I only managed 2 home games this season. Given our record at home you would think it's a banker for me getting 2 wins out of 2. One was vs West Spams and the other was Sheff Utd! (Sheff Utd was a pre planned event 2 months prior, it was nothing to do with the possibilities of being top, that just made it even worse)
So given my records previously, any big important matches I would tend to hide away for 2 hours or so and would just log on to VT first thing on the players and reaction rating to see what sort of gif you get to see. Me checking the beeps is also me jinxing it so I would not check mid way through.
so the matches that I have hid away from for the last few seasons:
1. Home to Manc city this season, although it may be more to do with not having Amazon and the refusal to sign up for it as I believe Amazon and Bezos is truly evil; it worked well that one.
2. Away to West Ham last day of the COVID season, I only logged on to VP to see reactions 10mins after when it should have ended.
3. Play off final Vs Fulham.
4. FA cup final Vs Arse
5. League Cup final Vs Manure during MON.
