Lots of beer & wine! Benfica – we really ‘got on it’ on this trip. It was a great trip, but I will say (and it’s not some silly boast) that the beer & red wine consumed was obscene. The food was good, too. On Tuesday afternoon we had a lovely meal. We arrived at… Read full article >

A good trip. Got back last night.
A good trip. Got back last night. I’ll be having a few days off the sauce. Over the moon with the result. An away goal would have been a decent result before the game, but to keep a clean sheet as well rounded it off. We rode our luck on one or two occasions. I.e.-… Read full article >
