It's to stop people exercising their right to hold up a sign. These two would be banged in London right now. It's a worrying trend.

I'm joining the first anti royal movement I can find that doesn't feel like it's full of virgins and potential bombers.
 
Safe travels Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman ...be sure to top up that tan!



Fixed ....
Your spalling is appealing!
She won't be topping up any tan here.

It was absolutely bucketing down this morning. I had 2 raincoats and was absolutely soaked to my skin.

Hope the pitch isn't a boggy Marsh. More thunderstorms scheduled before the game.
 
Just spent nearly a tenner on a sandwich, blueberry muffin (not as good as mine) and a cuppa, to pass the time. It wasn't that long ago I could get a decent hot meal for that. Checkin not for another half an hour and flight not until 6. Really tired but can't afford to drop off, will be gutted if I miss my flight. I'll sleep on the plane :)

So, ahead of tomorrow's game.
(I'm obviously a Sporting supporter and the Spurs are the second team I cheer for, since 2006)

Sporting's defense is not in its best shape. Some important players are out (as St Juste - the only CB who could really do something about Son's speed), Inácio hasn't been playing great (the on ball CB) and there's a clear flaw in the LB position (after Mendes left for PSG)
The team's best player wasn't Matheus Nunes - far from it. The best player is Pedro Gonçalves, the Left Winger (he zones out a lot during the matches, but is ultra clinic in front of goal)
The battle of the midfield will, obviously, dictate the flow of the match. Hojbjerg and Bentancur are a far more agressive pair than Sporting's duo (Morita and Ugarte - even though Ugarte is an absolute monster when it comes to jump on pressure).
The Spurs way of sitting behind and counter will do its regular damage, I'm sure of it. Sporting is trying to play more with the ball, with higher lines but that's also how Spurs like other teams to play.
A nice battle ahead, with two coaches who play a 3-4-3 formation and with similar ideas (although the players level on the Spurs' side is a step or two above, obviously)

(That benfica lisbon chap here spitting nonsense and lies is nothing but a small individual. Let me tell you I can't really get a grip on why to spread such hatred on a forum of some team their rivals are playing against. Sporting (and the fans) have absolutely nothing to pick on the Spurs. )
 
Maybe without the tacky grocery delivery logo splashed across the front. Lose the Nike tick as well, maybe do some work on the crest.

Oh, and in proper cotton too, not polyester.

Something like this perhaps?

Looks like the kits from the late 60's... Always been my favourite.. but honestly my trust in all the club's branding was lost when they asked Londoners to wear a shirt with ' PONY' printed ax the front of them..WTF planet were they on... .

Excuse me if I'm wrong and I did only see the highlights of your last game... But weren't your goals scored on the break as the home team pushed on
