Mr Optimistic

[ALG01]

 Certainly until KO on sundayI will be Mr Optimistic personified, from the old Otis Redding song but with a slight change of lyric.

I will cast down any negativity. It can still be done, it may be improbable but the longest journey starts with the first step
Let a resounding win against the horrible boys in blue be that first step.

So it shall be written, so it must be done.

Believe.

I would like to think that there will be a spring in the step of each and every Fulham player that takes the field of play on Sunday Afternoon.
Of course we will all be interested in the starting line up.
I shall be looking for lots of energy throughout the team, and it is important that no matter the score, whether we are ahead or behind or level.
Every player must win his own battles, and concentrate, as the first 90 plus minutes will be the most important, and please remember that the ball never gets tired.
Whatever the score and result at the final whistle, it would be a great feeling if we knew by then that every Fulham player had played his heart out for the team and the manager and the supporters, with a performance that will restore the heart beat and the pride and spirit and passion back into the team.

A 'slight' change of lyric? I assume the original was Mr Pitiful?

I'll Try A Little Tenderness and cut you some slack though on this occasion  :022:

Lets hope that 'A Change Is Gonna Come'

absolutely

but IMO the greatest ever music clip, other than James brown on the Tami show singing out of Sight is this especially at around 50s
