Do some work.

[Thedelldays]

Do some work.

no..

[Rattlehead]

Do some work.

 

It is Sunday Jillstain. I also find it somewhat ironic that someone who apparently only works one day a week is telling anyone to do some work.

 

If, on the other hand, the comment was meant in some sort of hilarious Jillstain-esque jest then I would politely remind you that this is The Lounge. Infraction issued.

By you, I doubt it.

[Rattlehead]

I am keeping an independent record of those that I have issued. You are on shaky ground right now Jillstain.

I went to the Lisbon derby there last season.

 

Awesome.

 

(Interesting fact (well, a bit) - there actually is no club called Sporting Lisbon. Their name is Sporting Clube de Portugal.)

indeed...

 

SCP on the badge

Leidson and Dreli (sp) scored they beat Pacos 2-0

Also, it was a sat night and there was LOADS of kids and women there and a real friendly atmosphere...it was liek a big party.. You had the "ultras" behind both goals but everywhere else was like a big party

Cost me 15 euros (probably the only cheap thing to do in Lisbon)

and the stadium is fantastic

 

I have got a Sporting top (55 euros though)

 

to be fair, everything here is expensive and would have been when the exchange rate was better

 

70 euros in Game for the latest X-box game for example

Got a pack of 4 Gillett mach 3 razors in the supermarket for 13 euroes..

 

even at the good exchange rate of what... 1.5 euroes to the pound, it is still expensive..

 

the people that work in the hotel say it is getting worse over here.. two years ago it was a lot cheaper etc

Been to Sporting a few years back, a mate of mine is a huge Sporting fan. Not bad ground and they do make some noise, shame they were playing Alevca (sp?) who only had around 200 fans.

I saw saints play them in the eufa at the dell in 81.

 

 

 

 

 

 

we lost 4-2

I went to see Benfica play Pacos a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday night. Fantastic event even though the 60K capacity stadium was only half full. Benfica have an eagle as their emblem and they keep a real one which flies from the roof of the stadium, around the pitch a couple of times and lands with it's handler on the pitch as part of the pre match build up. Great atmosphere at the match throughout.
