It probably is coincidental but I've grown a beard at the same time as Slav. There's definitely power in the beard. We started the great run, post Christmas, at the same time as the facial growth started to appear!
Hold on - I grew a beard in the year we were relegated. I had it for several years and we were pony but before the start of this season, I shaved it off, mainly, but not exclusively, because the SeƱora was threatening to divorce me if i didn't and not wanting to go through another one of those, I acquiesced. Sudden resurgence. Is this resurgence because of a lack of beard, I wonder?
Perhaps Craving and Fulhaman are cosmically aligned opposites, a facial hair manifestation of Yin and Yang? If ever they were both clean shaven, or both bearded, who knows what convulsions the Universe would go into?
A-la Tom Huddlestone. Of course, if we don't get promoted this year (perish the thought), you could be tripping over the thing by this time next year - unless trimming is allowed - or are you going the full hipster?
You must keep the beard Cravin ! I'm doing my bit also but with my cup of tea - I used to have a cup of tea before I left for the match out of my Fulham mug but began to realise we started losing every time I did so and won when I forgot to use it. This season I switched to a plain white mug and had the tea from my Fulham mug on non-match days. It really does seem to make a difference.
