I have always quite liked Benfica as a club, but that Jorge Jesus is a complete wannabe Soprano cunt.

Done us a solid in 2019 in the build-up to the Champions League victory that season.

Get in. Get the three points. Get out again.

Um, it's knockout football. Or is this a lucky charm/good luck thing?

Let's keep Guttmann's Curse rolling for another season...up to 60 years now! 

I did the stadium tour and they have a statue there of him with 2 European Cups. The guide said they got a priest to go to his grave and try to exorcise the curse.

Jorge Jesus looks the type to piss on all the corner flags.

Jorge Jesus doesn't manage them anymore.

To be fair to the bloke, you are the first team outside of Real Madrid to win it. Then you do it again. And all of this on top of 2 league titles and a domestic cup in a 3-year stint. 

 

If th tight bastards running the club didn't deem that amount of success to be worthy of a pay rise, then nothing would ever be good enough.

The FSG of Portugal?

Just looking at Benfica v Liverpool it's a great fixture it's what you want.

Ah, didn't realise he got jibbed at Xmas

[Lee909]

Be nice to put this to bed tomorrow. Doubt it will happen but would be very handy with the fixture pile up. 

 

Still don't get this no away goals. I think they should count unless it goes to extra time as its far to much a advantage in ET

1-5

2-0 to us will do me. If we rattle a lot of goals in, I start getting jittery we wont score in our next game and I dont want that for Sunday!

Hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only utterly irrational nobhead who worries about using up our goal rations.

Same here. We stuffed Palace 8-0 last year and then lost at Anfield 6 games on the bounce.  
3-0 here and then 2-0 on Sunday would suit me. 

[magicrat]

We need to win tonight to keep up momentum for Sunday. Would snatch your hand off for a boring 1 nil

[El Rojo]

Looks like the Goal Rations Nobheads have taken over this thread. 

 

0-4 please.

No away goals is another absolute wank change of rules. We'll just see even more pen shoot outs. Utter bollocks.

False sense of security for us.

Underestimation is at all time high levels on here. Careful now.
