sotnas has been quiet of late, must be dodging the 'can we kip at yours' clique.

he would be invaluable with info.

like will tickets be available over there etc.

Sadly I won't be near Lisbon. Professional duties are preventing me from going to the game.

If I was to go, I would be asking you lads how could I get my hands on a ticket for the blue corner of the stadium. I wouldn't want to mix with such a stinkin' breed of shi t heads. They really smell.b)

I think there are still available tickets, if you don't mind standing amongst the red tide of sheite. But you should arrive a couple of days earlier and get into the ticket lines outside the stadium.

Any idea how many toffees are traveling. I've paid well over the odds for tickets in the everton end, but at least I can enjoy the trip and not spend all day trying to get tickets and end up sat next to some greasy ronaldo lookalike. I've been to the stadio luz before and it's gonna be the best stadium we will play in this season.

Sorry to disappoint you mate, but Ronaldo's fashion is far more appreciated in the UK than in his homeland. He's not even close to be cult hero around here.

Have you taken a good look to the stadium, mate? From outside it looks like an unfinished building.

Have to disagree. I think it looks amazing, it was only finished in 2004 for portuguese Euro. It beats any stadium in this country bar wembley and maybe the emirates at a push.

Followed England in the euros out there so mixed bad of fortune. It's a bit out of town and built on waste ground so not the best setting. Rivals the anything in we have over here inside though. Anyone know the crack when we get there. Take over the main square????

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

is it on the same site as the old one ?

Yes it is.

I've been there a couple of times. Inside it is impressive, I must admit.

In the upper ring, though, sometimes you can't see the pitch lines and behind the goal you have to stand to see it.

But from the outside, FFS it's real ugly. It's colour is concrete with some rollercoast structure up on it.

We call it the fire department. It's grey and red, it has an eagle (symbol of fire departments around here), so it must be a fire department.

Good to see you around S-man.

Hope we turn them over for double joy for your good self. Just cant see it at the moment sin Pienaar y Arteta.

I have to tell you, it will be tough. Benfica are playing pretty well this season and they set up a good team with some very good footballers. The manager is an improvement over recent years.

They have a lot of south americans (Di Maria, Saviola, Aimar, Cardozo, Luisão, Ramires....). and some seem to be reborn (Aimar and Saviola).

Actually, mate I'm seeing it really tough for us.
