Scott Parker sported his lucky blazer again at Craven Cottage. It is a soft, quilted item, a snug fit that he wears over a gilet.
It makes the Fulham boss look a little as if he should be holding a glass of Pimm's and cheering on a crew at the Henley Royal Regatta. Sadly for him and his team, the luck got sucked out of it against Manchester City. All it got him and his relegation-threatened side was a dressing down.
On the eve of the game, City’s manager Pep Guardiola had smiled when it was suggested that Parker was his sartorial equal.
