May 18th is the 138th day of the year.
We are the "12th man".
138 + 12 = 150.

Was just in the corner shop and spent £2.90 got 10p change, multiply that by 10 and it comes to 50.
I'm starting to believe.

Before anybody says I did put the 10p in charity box.

Just thought there if you take 50% of this 10p you get 5 which together with the other 5 gives you 55.

You got 10p change and if you multiple that by 10 you get 50?

There was me thinking it was 100

In 1975 we stopped them winning 10 in a row.
23 years later they stopped us winning 10 in a row.
Then 23 years after that we stopped them winning 10 in a row.
2+3=5

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Well I haven't shaved again as I didn't during our unbeaten 55 season. Beard itching like fek but I will bear with it for the good of the team. No need to thank me brethren

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

The date Thursday is 5/5/2022

(5-5)+(2-0)+(2-2)= 0+2+0=2

Coincidentally we need to win by 2 goals to go through on Thursday night.

Carol Vorderman approves of this thinking.
I'll stick with German team in semi final for a place in a final in Spain same as 72.
