colinmk Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Another Benfica fan here. I wish you all the best in Premier League but I hope we'll win in Europa League ! When Benfica lost 4-1 to Liverpool I got so pissed that no one in my house had dinner, no one, and we all went to bed in our outdoor clothes. When Benfica lost to Braga I felt like shaving my balls. If Benfica doesn't win this year, I guess I will drink 3 ltrs of vodka in a row or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Would love to back to Lisbon, I went over when we lost to Sporting and despite the result had a great couple of days. Did the tour of Estadio da Luz, would be great to see us play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Don't know if it's been posted, but one of the chaps on their forum made a prediction: Chelsea - Rubin (Rubin believe can make a surprise, despite Chelsea being the favorite) Tottenham - Basel (Tottenham passes without bones) Fenerbahçe - Lazio (round and balanced camera) Benfica - Newcastle (seems to me that we are favorites but beware ...)

Guest rdr10 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Today at the airport I was checking the prices for you guys, the best option now (if you still don't have the ticket) is to go to Faro. The train only costs 28€ so you could save a lot for beer and food ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train only costs 28€ so you could save a lot for beer and food ! That's how I'm going. Drive down to Derby. East Midlands Airport to Faro, then the train up to Lisbon. About 230 Euros for the whole journey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the tour of Estadio da Luz, would be great to see us play there. Did you enjoy visiting our stadium? If you get the chance come to the 1st leg, it's likely it won't be full because of our economic situation, but still it's always a beautiful sight in game days. A curiosity some of you may not know... besides it's official name, Estádio da Luz (Stadium of Light), the supporters often refer to it as Cathedral in reference to the way we live our games and our team, the whole atmosphere is like having a religious experience, so to speak, as for us Benfica is our religion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 In the late '90s I lived in Lisbon for the best part of a year, putting together a guide book. I really like the city and the people, and the mayor gave me an award for my book. When it came to football, though, I favoured Sporting. It's partly because all the foreigners and expats I met seemed to go for Benfica, so I wanted to be contrary, partly because Benfica play in red and white, and I generally don't like teams who play in red and white, and partly because the first Sporting match I went to was really funny -- it was against Porto, whose manager had just insulted Sporting's honour by declaring that they were the worst Sporting team ever, and Sporting tonked them. That said, I went to as many Benfica games, although they were crap at the time (Souness era), and I was always treated well there. I was even introduced to the guy who looks after the eagle, or did then, standing by the Eusebio statue. I was planning to visit Lisbon in May, to accompany some friends and visit some others and wander about a bit. Might have to move my trip forward now.
