Porto memories

Nothing will beat this.

Meeting the lad who sorted my ticket out. Only for him to tell me that he posts on Bluemoon, and that we spent years going at it like cats and dogs. Hahaha. Lovely stuff.

Won’t be long before we have another ding dong on here! It’s in our nature :)

Think what this thread shows as others have said, is what a fantastic trip it was, bar the football. Been going since 1978, and it certainty ain't for the glory. The win would have made it all the better, but defeat didn't spoil it. Bloody pain going there instead of Wembley, but reckon if it had been in London, there would have been more trouble from other clubs' firms looking for some easy pickings.

Finding out that my son, having spent all day trying and failing to get a ticket, managed to do the impossible jib.

Great trip apart from the obvious. However just took the dog for a walk and the backs of my legs were fucked, did anyone else leave Porto thinking they were owed 5 miles of downhill? Felt like uphill all the way

Wow ! Top effort - how the hell did he manage that with two sets of gates to get through. Bet he thought he was in after first set only to find another lot to get through.

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

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.....

Francesinha. Great morning after tackle

That's fair enough mate and didn't expect you to reveal. Never done it myself and a bit too old to start trying but impressed with your lad for that.

 

[york away to this!]

Despite the result gutted that I missed this. Next year...
