FC Porto Thread [2012-2013]

[Arnau]

Why is Pereira leaving?

 

[Haarithan]

Thank fuck he didn't take up the Everton job.. Would have definitely finished above Liverpool for a third season running in that case..

 

[Filipower]

What do you mean "take up"? You think he looked at his vast array of options and said "nah, fuck the EPL, I'm going to Al Ahli!"

 

[MaSsiVe]

Main reason for VP's departure: coaches systematically last no more than 2 seasons here...maybe 3 on rare occasions. They arrive, win, and leave. Usually on a high note. It's been a profitable strategy so far, therefore we did it again.

 

[fender]

I sense something exciting happening.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Epic beard.

 

[yoyo913]

Hold on... am I high or something, or not getting it...

People made a big deal about Chelsea winning the Europa league and Champions league in 2 successive years, for the first time ever, right?

But didn't Porto do that with Mourinho?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Yeah but the other way round. We did it the shitty (and therefore cool) way.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Concerning the Herrera deal, our "option to buy" set by Pachuca expired today so I expect us to confirm it tomorrow.

 

[yoyo913]

Yeah but the other way round. We did it the shitty (and therefore cool) way.

Oh. So I must have misheard people saying it was the first way done (in the way I thought it was).

 

[Mandieta6]

I think we were the first to ever hold both titles at once?

 

[Back Door Skip]

Concerning the Herrera deal, our "option to buy" set by Pachuca expired today so I expect us to confirm it tomorrow.

About damn time. Fuck that team and his shitty director.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Well...nothing.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Well Mexico plays a qualifier in about 30 minutes then are heading to Brazil after the game. So tomorrow, I'd hope.

 

[chygry]

I'm gonna try to watch that game if I find a quality stream.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Yeah, I'll be watching that too. Roja Directa have excellent streams if you don't mind the spanish commentaries.

Let's think so skip.
I just hope that after that miserable performance against Panama, Herrera is given a chance. Wouldn't mind watching Reyes either

 

[Back Door Skip]

He's starting



Gio is on the bench, which is stupid as fuck, but oh well.

 

[chygry]

Oh thanks for that Roja Directa, I couldn't find any other streams.

 

[chygry]

I hope Gio comes on in the second half, I really enjoy watching him play.

 

[MaSsiVe]

2 new players were officially presented today, Tiago Rodrigues and Ricardo:

Big news on Fucile BTW, apparently Fonseca is reinstating him as a member of the squad.
Good move, means we don't need to find a back-up for Danilo anymore
