Yeah, in fact they constantly do it when we lose, usually to much smaller defeats... What goes around comes around... I just ask one thing to Portistas: is it also the coach's fault this time?
I'm not a hypocrit, so obviously I loved to see Porto lose 4-0 at home (and no, Funky, it isn't the same as losing 1-0, although you're totally righ that it's only 3 points lost, so everything's still open) and had a good laugh, but I'm also not one to kick others when they're down and to disrespect them. You've never seen me do it before and you'll never see me do it in the future.
Sure, as RuiCosta_10 said, the "picanços" and "gozos" are a part of the game, but another thing is being plain stupid, arrogant and rude. And I've seen many times some people here doing that when Benfica lost, so I guess they can't complain if other people also do that when their clubs lose.

About the Superliga: this has been a crazy year! And contrarily to some people, I think this has been one of the most exciting seasons in the last 20 years and that's a very good thing, not a bad one. Porto was humiliated yesterday, yeah, but they only lost 3 points, so everything's still open in the fight for the title (even more knowing how inconsistent every team has been). There are 5 teams who can win it.
Benfica HAS to win today. We're at the final part of the championship, where the decisions are being made, so we can't fail a chance like this. We need to win to definitely assume that we really can win the title this year and have what can be a decisive boost! If we fail yet again, I'm afraid that will be it, mainly psychologicaly (because mathematically we'll still be totally in for it). Unfortunately, once again I'm highly skeptical, I have the feeling we won't win (and Punkt will complain, but you already know how I am, my friend
)... But my support is guaranteed! GO BENFICA!!!
