Porto, have won the europa cup, and their domestic league, and have a cup final at the weekend. With strikers like hulk and falcao they have battered all in front of them. But have a look at their league stats. 84 points out of 90, Unbeaten all season, and a goal difference of 57. Even in a fairly weak league, that is some season, and they now have some of the most sought after players in europe. ............... home..........away. .gd.. pts 1 FC Porto 30 14 1 0...... 13 2 0 57 84
Got to be honest but that Hulk lad looks like a very expensive disaster waiting to happen to some poor ****er who buys him. I'd rather have Doyle, Crouch or Pavelychenko IMO. Falcao would get kicked from arsehole to breakfast time and isnt physically strong enough for the EPL. The Portugese league is on a par with French/Belgium or other below standard football. I wouldnt have any of their players for the sort of game we need to be playing. If we were in a European competition maybe but not bog standard EPL games.
Andre Villas-Boas, 33 years old. youngest manager to win the europa cup Falcao, 17 goals in this years europa league, the highest ever, must have something about him, looks pretty decent to me, and seen smaller in the premiership.
The game last night was rubbish, have seen better at Annfield Plain Life is just abowl of cherries but watch out for the pips
