so were still ****ed because we will have tired players and all the injuries we have

great.

Sorry but **** the europa league just play the under 19's - we won't win it anyway and we need to stay in the premier league.

 

Love it. They get shifted around like little chumps at our will. Not only that but we get to go to the real stadium of light (its clean too). We'll take them some pictures.

Of course Benfica are gonna **** us mind

 

My goodness you've started eating your Jodans daily I see.

Kudos

 

Are Warm Pouch and Boa the same person?

 

I always thought you were Pouchy and Boa, just to throw us off track.

 

I'm BOA-cus!!!

 

No. Our Europa League campaign should be more important than one PL game.

 

Still not as much as we are.

 

Its not even called the Stadium of Light.

 

Crap. I'm at my nieces christening.

 

Viagogo time methinks....

 

The Estádio da Luz is offically called "The Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica" is commonly translated as:

The Stadium of the Light

So basically, the mackems couldn't even nick someone else's stadium name correctly

 

How inconsiderate of her. Must be on the Mackem side of the family?

What is she being christened as? Anita? Gael? Sissoko?

 

She is on the Mackem side yes.
She's called Miley... So her dad will be less than smiley by full time....

 

Light in Portuguese is luz- where is that in Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica?

The stadium derives that nickname name a nearby church.

Why are some foreign stadiums translated into English? Barca don't play at the New Field. Real Madrid don't play at St James Bernabeu. Hmm funny that.

 

The new stadium opened in 2003.

The old stadium was named in honor of the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz ("Church of Our Lady of Light") and the people of Lisbon used to call it a Luz ("the Light").

The common name for the stadium became Estádio da Luz which translates to "The Stadium of the Light".

Re translations - who the hell knows?

 

Think maybe Cissy instead of Sissoko, seems it used to be quite popular in days gone by. Used for females called Cecilia.

 

Its always been known as the Stadium of Light. No clutching at straws will get you out of that one Indestructible. Your lot were so lazy and maybe a little numb they had to nick the name of another stadium

Those claiming me and Boa are the same person will of course now burn horribly in hell...............

 

I'll vouch for WP - WP likes Sky for a start....
