Liverpool fan Tommy McAllister, from Morton and Mercyside, just got named the unluckiest supporter in football. The 30-year-old watched six Premier League games this season, and his team drew or lost every single one. Meanwhile, they won four out of the 10 matches since Christmas that he skipped entirely. Xbox teamed up with sports data experts Opta to create a new measure called expected jinx, or XJ. They surveyed nearly 10,000 fans, tracking watch habits against live-win probabilities. Tommy scored the highest, officially crowning him the top jinx. His Liverpool mates now beg him to stay away from the telly, while his ever-tune supporting pals push him to tune in, betting it'll doom the rivals. He's tried everything from switching shirts seven times to weird rituals like standing for corners or watching from another room, but nothing works. The bad luck even hits his personal life, like picking restaurants and Liverpool that keep shutting down soon after. Spots like yums, city buffet, and others

close right after becoming his favorites. To break the curse, Tommy's ditching live matches for good, planning to game on Xbox instead. The company hooked him up with a console and the new E.A. FC 26, hoping his virtual luck rubs off on the real team. That wraps Lester News today, brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
