I think all the shit things happen to us because we are the only fuckers built to take it...
Us and Atletico Madrid fans. There are other clubs like it but those two stand out, big history, big support and lots of hope only to be let down (although they won the EL so maybe they broke their curse)

Meanwhile their star player is being bought by a Russian oligarch.
Am I scraping the bottom of the barrel when I say that Chelski winning the EL this year against Benfica has raised the profile of the competition (if not the class), rendering it even harder for cunts to deny that it's a worthwhile competition in its own right, towards the level of the CL competition?
I think I am.
the likelihood of that happening when Porto are playing the 3rd place team that are guaranteed 3rd (their best position ever) is pretty unlikely. I have hope for Sunday. Might be time to go back to churchJust to be clear - Benfica can still win the title this weekend if Porto fail to win and Benfica beat Moreirense (second last team)
i.e. same situation as us - 1 point behind going into the last game
that's where next years final is isn't it? Turin is better than the dam anyway...ajax , juventus....
Benfica apparently are cursed:
Béla Guttmann: Coach and manager of some the world’s leading football teams, including AC Milan, São Paulo FC, FC Porto, Benfica and C.A. Peñarol. His greatest success came with Benfica when he guided them to two successive European Cup wins in 1961 and in 1962. After the 1962 final Guttmann approached the Benfica board of directors and asked for a pay rise, but, despite the success he had brought the club, he was turned down. On leaving Benfica he allegedly cursed the club, declaring "Not in a hundred years from now will Benfica ever win a European Cup". Despite being finalists on seven occasions – 1963, 1965, 1968, 1983, 1988, 1990 and 2013 – Benfica have never since won any European Championship. Before the 1990 final, which was played in Vienna, where Guttmann was buried,Eusébio even prayed unsuccessfully at his grave and asked for the curse to be broken.
