Lets all support Benfica tonight...



as they take on Manchester United in Lisbon in one of the biggest games in recent history.

The match may be a Champions League group game but the ramifications may be costly if the club fail to get the result they need to reach the last 16.

Fuck....I watched the game and despite the great start, Man U just faltered down the stretch.

Guess it just shows that a new infusion of tactics is what Man U needs. Sorry Fergie, but you gotta pack your bags and enjoy your retirement
