Oh dear, I think someone is upset!!

If Porto are going to officially complain about the "you're not incredible" chants it just means they have no sense of humour.
Sad really. Just makes them look bitter as well as bad looses.
I suspect it is just to distract uefa from the racist accusations in the first leg.
I must say, when they were chanting Hulk Hulk Hulk last night it did sonund exactly like monkey noises. Maybe there is something in that....

Porto are definitely sore losers - the complaint to UEFA has shown that.

But I see where their manager is coming from. I thought they were excellent yesterday. Had they got the goal their play deserved at the end of the first half we'd have been in for an incredibly nervy second half. I thought they were one of the best teams we've come up against this season and deserve plenty of credit for that.

I see your point, they looked pretty on the ball at times.
Thing is though it's how we setup, a bit like "ok try us" and we reduced them mainly to long distance shots. They got a cross across a few times granted but we had better chances.

I think we deserved it far more from the great attacking to the stout disciplined defense.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they deserved to win the game. Not at all. But I can see why their manager would want to big up his team's performance and say the scoreline flattered us.

I'm surprised at how "easy" some people saw this tie as. I thought Porto were the better team in Porto and I thought they were excellent against us at our place last night. On chances created we deserved to win, on overall play a draw would've been a fair result if you see what I'm saying.

I certainly did not think they were the better team in Porto and we definately set up to counter last night whilst concedding possession. The tactics couldn't have been more perfect for the players picked and game situation.

The scoreline bore out the tactics.

If they would have scored, we could have changed things around but the need was never there.

Aye i see where your coming from yeah. If you take most of the match time and how it went the scoreline does not do them justice.

The rest of the match time though were them touches of great skill by us that snuffed them out.

I think the way he has worded it is pretty cringeworthy though. It comes across as bitter and not honorable losers.

I think the video that's been posted on here a few times proves that they weren't chanting for Hulk.

4-0 (6-1) says we did deserve to win, dick

Fair enough. Must have missed the video from Porto...
Just tit for tat on their part then. Pathetic.

I'm not sure if it was a Portugese interview translated back into English - but if it was I imagine some of it has been lost in translation.
