The European Cup and the ECWC are two different things.

I know plenty of Blues who refer to the Champions Lague as the European Cup.

Did anybody try one of the local Porto specialities.. the toastie with steak, bacon, egg, cheese and the spicy sauce? Can't recall the name of it but it began with an F

Had one in the square by the town hall and boy was it good...

Sandwich, big platter of chips, free small beer and a free espresso... 10.50 Euro

I'm going back there for another one day.....

Sounds bang on that. Wish I’d sampled one!

I’m going back with the other half when there’s no football on. Probably next year. Porto’s a beautiful city and quite inexpensive, and we have talked about doing a few days in Lisbon and a few in Porto in the past.

Well done mate. Another wrong has been righted! Bet you're fucking buzzing now.

Don't know how the blue moon forum would operate without you!

Bit of cheek and luck. Don’t want to give too much away. He might try the same trick again.

Bumped into someone outside a bar on Sunday who told us a similar story. I won’t give the details away but perhaps it was you who we spoke to?

I was chatting to a blue about 6pm outside the supermarket in the ground who was going to try to jib in because he only had 30 Euros left. I waqs telling him to go and hang around the corporate/press entrance with a sob story. I wonder if it was him.

I'd have thought it impossible to jib in that stadium.

Me too... we’ll do a long weekend in Lisbon and take the train up to Porto for a butty

Same here, looking at going in September

 

[CityTilWedie]

As soon as I saw that lineup i immediately regretted spending almost a 1000 on tickets

Seems ideal for a long weekend city break, I’ll definitely be going back to explore it a bit more

The European Cup final in 1970 was Feyenoord V Celtic at the san Siro.

Our 1st and only European Cup Winners Cup final was 1970.

I'll have you know that interview was pre-arranged weeks ago. He whored himself out to us...

Enjoy your beers and food mate.

Mate, we were there when your bag went missing on Friday and then match day, by the steps, when you turned into a meedya dahling.

Just before we were interviewed by that Champs League South America bloke who was wearing my mates City hat with "fuck UEFA" front and centre. LMAO.

Little did I know we were in the company of the one and only Didsbury Dave.

Same here, looking at going in September

We visited Porto last year just before lockdown and Lisbon the year before. We enjoyed Porto but were actually looking at house prices in Lisbon, we liked it so much.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

In front of Txiki. Hahahaha. Mans got pull.

Indeed he has....

 

[Blue Til Death]

Clapping Buzzer and his missus as they strolled down by the river passing us lot on the piss, by the base of the bridge and beyond, what a legend he is ... Paul Dickov was great with Blues and selfie’s all morning on the Saturday ...

Waking up Saturday morning and overlooking the Chelsea fan zone ... 6x6 foot City flag flying out of my window

What the fuck happened on Sunday with the flight information boards, flights not showing boarding times or gates, it was fuckin bedlam ... 2 hours late because if it but nobody working for the airlines bothered to report it ???

I think I remember you. Did we have a quick chat at the bottom of the steps about my bag?

And then did I see you lot kicking off outside KFC when it wasn't letting you in about 11pm?
