Lucky Slippers v Blackburn
I stated in a post yesterday that we really need a miracle. So I’m wearing my son’s lucky Fulham slippers again today. Last time I wore them Jimmy Bullard hit a free-kick in the dying minutes of the game to give Fulham a win and us supporters some hope. And even if they don’t bring us a miracle, or just some luck, at least they’re keeping my feet warm. It’s -1°F here in the Twin Cites. A tad warmer at 52°F in London currently.
COYW!
your slippers have got about eight minutes to save us brian…if we win then i’ll replace the picture of Johnny Haynes on the site with them tonight!

No win Rob, but the slippers are two for two for late minute Jimmy Bullard free-kicks. How bout that?

Is that what they call someone who lives in Vermont . Strange how it changes for each city.
Rob, they’re still not sure about whether there will be coverage here in the US or not. If the game is on Setanta I have to go to a local pub and I would look pretty silly wearing those things. But you know what?… whatever it takes baby!
If I do it I’ll make sure a photo is taken. However, it’s much easier at home with Fox Soccer Channel.

Brian,
Great stuff. If you have to go to the pub to watch next weel, just change into them when you get there, like Mr. Rogers used to do.

I’ll come out to the Local just to see you in those slippers! There is no shame in a little superstition, especially if its been working…Great talking point too.

Yes, I may need moral support Adam. It will be like taking one for the team. Spencer and I got together at the Sweetwater last week for the Man U game. I was going to email you but it was a very last minute thing.
