Quote from: clandestino on Today at 09:50:04 AMNot that much these days, it seems. Either because of financial fair play regulations or because the Fosun money has dried up, or both, the relation with Mendes seems somewhat distant. The flop of Fabio Silva did wonders for that as well, alongside a very competent manager that seems outside of his orbit.
QuoteThere is still a strong Portuguese presence that helps, of course, and while it has diminished recently, the football played has improved which compensates for that. I don't think it's related though
QuoteAs you may know, in our generation at least, one doesn't chose a football club, he inherits it from his family. Mine (patrilineal line) is Sporting through and through. Not because of class, since they were at best, non-agrarian rural working class, but maybe because they were at its peak while my grandfather was young.
QuoteRegarding Estrela, got to see them a couple of times this season and it was nice, relaxed when compared with what I was used to. One of them was a 2-1 win over Estoril in the last minute of overtime, which was epic.
(Un)fortunatelly since I'm moving to a different area this summer (one that doesn't support a football club in the first 2 divisions for tenths of kms) and I'm not a native of Amadora, not sure if I'll keep the interest in the club forward.
QuoteNo thoughts about André Ventura, an infamous pro-Benfica troll on a trashy TV "news" channel?
QuoteYes, plenty of thoughts. Not nice ones though.
Quote from: Jacob on Today at 10:31:47 AMSo what were the conclusions - who won, in what ways, and what does it mean for Portugal's future?
... and who were each of the people?
Quote from: Jacob on Today at 11:20:22 AMI believe it's a well established fact that obesity etc is becoming more widespread across Europe. There are some North-South trends (and East-West ones too?), but I believe overall everyone is getting fatter at varying rates.

Possibly, but one thing I can tell is that your (our) generation will not be the first which will NOT think the next generation is inferior.
Really, in what generation do you think a man about 60 could look at a group of 30 something men and realize he is clearly stronger and in better shape?
I don't know if us Xers are the ferocious fitness fanatics as you seem to think
What happened to us anyway? We used to slackers who were too cool to care, now I see Xers whining about kids today like they are lame Boomers.
We should be like:
"Kids today? Oh they're cool."
"Are you being sarcastic, dude?"
"I don't even know anymore."
