You can learn a lot about a team's character from the five minutes immediately after conceding a goal. Some sides panic, lose their shape and start arguing. Others settle down, organise themselves and go straight back to playing football. That response tells you plenty.

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE MOVIE THAT TURNED AN OLD SUPERSTITION INTO A POP CULTURE NIGHTMARE. Long before Hollywood got involved, Friday the 13th was already regarded as an unlucky date. The fear came from centuries old superstitions surrounding the number 13 and Friday, both of which had long been associated with bad luck in Western culture. But in 1980, a horror movie called Friday the 13th took that superstition and gave it an entirely new identity. What was once simply a date people approached with caution became synonymous with horror, bloodshed and one of cinema's most recognisable killers, Jason Voorhees. Interestingly, Jason wasn't even the killer in the original movie. His mother, Pamela Voorhees, was responsible for the murders. Jason would later become the face of the franchise, famously associated with his hockey mask. The film didn't invent the fear of Friday the 13th, but it gave that fear a face, a soundtrack and a horror legacy that has lasted for decades. Today, whenever Friday the 13th comes around, millions of people don't just think about an old superstition. They think about Jason Voorhees. That's quite a legacy for a movie released in 1980. Hollywood didn't create the superstition, but it certainly changed how an entire generation would remember the date.
