The sad part is that we needed them to draw the game. 3 red cards and 3 penaltys. Unreal. Benfica 2-1 PSG. 10 points and Europa League.

Congrats Newcastle. Great win.

Portuguese cup game. http://www.record.xl.pt/storage/ng08FA57C4-FE12-4DFD-B4B5-E9EAF82AA76F.jpg

Rio Ave? That's odd.

Bruma, the next big thing from Sporting academy, winger as C. Ronaldo, Simão Sabrosa, Ricardo Quaresma, Luis Figo, Paulo Futre etc, alledges the contract he signed some years with Sporting is now invalid. Basically he did very well in this last youth cup and he wants much more money. Sporting is trying to talk to the player but his lawyer and agent are hiding the player from Sporting's chairman. Very odd situation. Bruma missed the train today and Sporting's chairman sent some messages trough the press to Pinto da Costa (Porto's chairman) who's probably behind all this. The same thing happened to Paulo Futre some decades ago, when he said that didn't have psicological capacities to continue to play for Sporting and signed for Porto on a free. Weird argument. Game on. Portuguese football

Officially he signed for 5 years. May be a signing similar to Ramires though, with a 3rd part assuming part of the risk and facilitating a move to Chelsea after one or two seasons.

Lazar Markovic. http://aovivo.slbenfica.pt/Portals/3/noticias/Epoca2012_13/Futebol%20Profissional/SLB_Futebol_Markovic_Estadio_10Junho2013V.jpg?w=227

Should be interesting. Galatasaray are clearly better nowadays but Cardozo guarantees goals like few. I hope he stays in Lisbon but after that problem with Jorge Jesus... not likely. Bony - possible replacement. I believe he was linked to Newcastle in January.

Cardozo possibly already signed for Fenerbahce.

He compromised the team even in the portuguese league. After some errors Javi Garcia started playing alongside Luisão whenever David Luiz got the ball forward. Very gifted technically but overrated when he played in Lisbon. Haven't tracked his development since.

Oscar Cardozo transfer listed apparently. Such a shame. 261 games, 161 goals, 33 goals in european games. Hope it's bollocks or nobody offers more than 10M€ for him. Legend.

Hugo Viana will play for Al Ahli , according to portuguese media.

We lost the cup as well. No comments. 1-0, then conceded two pathetic goals in two minutes. Artur's fault. Cardozo was angry with Jorge Jesus. He's right, the man's a f'ing loser.

Portuguese cup final, 17h15

I have more sympathy for Dortmund, but a Bayern victory puts Benfica in the first pot for the next CL draw. No brainer then.

Porto confirmed Rodriguez and Moutinho to Monaco. 70M€. Official. Rodriguez 45M€, Moutinho 25M€ so Sporting gets only 4M€. Sporting screwed again. Nobody believes Rodriguez is worth almost twice the money, he had a weak season and Moutinho was immense (once again).

According to portuguese media, Lazar Markovic signed for us. 10M€. Abramovich was interested in signing him, so I'll wait for confirmation. $$$$. Nemanja Matic, Uros Matic? (Nemanja's brother), Markovic, Sulejmani, Djuricic... Serbia Lisbon and Benfica.

According to portuguese media, Mourinho wants Matic at Chelsea and Roman is willing to pay. First they offer us Matic (+ 25M€) for David Luiz and now they pay 40+M€ to have him back? That would be unreal.

AVB running some errands for Pardew. Remember that AVB refused to take shit from Mourinho himself.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-not-spend-fortune-3815983 Great player. Would tear apart most Premier League defenses. We lacked the funds to buy him at the time (high wages I guess) so he ended up returning to Italy. Fast, skilled, accurate right foot... very underrated. Scored a 40 yards volley some moths ago.

Djuricic signed for Benfica. Official. http://mediaserver2.rr.pt/newrr/filipdjuricic1183cad1_400x225.jpg
