If anyone wants it it's yours free to a good home

(Unless you've neg repped me in the past. I keep records. )

Just messaged you mate

You'll be welcomed in Lisbon

can you recommend any tourist places to visit in Lisbon? Got a day after the game to spend but not sure where to go?

I remember the old general open top bus tour. The promenade near estoril and cascais is worth a walk. Also the huge statue across the river near the red bridge (akin to San Francisco's)

I'm gutted im not able to make it as my great uncle supports Benfica. Gonna get a program from tonight's game for him though. Hope it's a spectacle and not some dour attempt at a football match.

so we're in for a great trip then. Nothing like chasing a lost cause!

At least it will be sunny and plenty of beer around, although knowing our luck it will be raining....

That third goal destroyed any glimmer of hope of going through. Means we can enjoy the game for what it is. In theory, it will no doubt be a dead rubber.

Where's everyone going to be night before the game? We just booked a hotel on Rossio square!

 

[ben_the_yido]

everyone decided to cancel their flights?

 

[southlondonyiddo]

I'm driving down from the Algarve. Had booked this golf trip months ago so ties in brilliantly. Not sure what time we’ll get into Lisbon but if we’ve got enough time will head to the Square for an aperatife or 2!

Looking forward to a famous European night on our jouney to Turin!!!

 

[manic041]

I think we'll be heading for the square on the day of the game, land at 9.30 local time so by the time we get to the hotel, dump our gear then a taxi into town it will be about 11. Only have until around 3 to drink mind as our coach leaves for the stadium at 4 so have to get back to the hotel and check in then get on the coach.

Depending on the result may head back into town after the game to celebrate/drown our sorrows.

turin turin tottenham hotspur are going to turn they'll be thousands of yids they'll all be pissed off their heads tottenham hotspur are going to turin BELIEVE

 

[SlunkSoma]

When do the team fly out?

 

[Blackrat1299]

One of my concerns is no CB. Jan is suspended, Kaboul took a knock.

 

[ERO]

We're chasing 1-3. We shouldn't play centre backs anyway. Ossie for caretaker manager!

 

[ben_the_yido]

team looking good for tomorrow i think we're going to do it!
