We take it as they come

I know Sporting fans can't talk too much but hey, that doesn't mean we just keep quiet when we see and hear stupid egocentric statements, no matter which club we support (if any).

Benfica's coach, Jorge Jesus, said "Vamos ser novamente campeões" (we are going to be champions again).

Had he said "we will play for championship and we are confident we will succeed" it would have shown a positive message of optimism and strength but his words showed arrogance (even more after a defeat on first match).

After that Benfica took another big step for the championship by loosing again (2 games, 2 defeats) and Benfica's goalkeeper, Roberto, messed up yet again. Roberto cost about the same as Petr Cech (Chelsea), Hugo Lloris (Lyon) e Van der Sar (M. United) and so far all he did was BS.

Personally i believe it is a mistake to sell Roberto now - they will loose money. Better to win the championship in the tunnels again and afterwards sell him. I have no idea how much they pay in the tunnels but it is probably lesse than what they stand to loose if they sell Roberto now.

Jolly good day mi lord,
it is Simão speaking here, an humble subject of the Benfica banner . With due respect, what 'tunnels' are you speaking of ? The game is played on grass not in concrete I believe mi lord. Your lordship must admit the the knight Roberto has only fought two jousts and the tournament has 34 of them. This means it is too early to speak of him being a bad knight or a craven. I should think that with a better armor and a quicker horse he might have a chance to prove his valor still.
Long live the kingdom of Protugal

And you would be wrong Simao, take a look at Queiroz and his recent "joust" as you call it and you will see that "the game" has left the grass and went backstage long long ago.

And this is not Portugal only (check "outside" and you will see it to be true). Although Portugal is racing for number one in corruption ...

But then again, i do not need to tell you that, everybody knows it - whether they choose to see it or be blind to the truth is their own choice.

About Roberto you may want to read again - as i said i would not sell it now. Personally i hope he stays, plays all games and be consistent with what he has shown thus far :-)))

Better armor and quicker horse ? Did not understand, sorry.

I do not believe monarchy and Portugal is not a kingdom (thankfully). I also do not believe in nationalism as i do not feel one country is or should be above all others.

But i can finish with a long live justice, truth, love and peace.

Thanks for your comments Simao, i appreciate all point of views (even those that may not be equal to my own)
