I’m not very sure but is your club or stadium based in Lisbon?Good question. We literally don’t have Lisbon in our name so I don’t know why it is used. Every Sporting fan for the most part hates that people outside of Portugal say that.
Done! Apologies for our ignorance.Can we please fix the title of this thread? Sporting is not and has never been “Sporting Lisbon” Lisbon is not even in our name....... can we at least get the name of the club right please?
Sporting Clube De Portugal OR Sporting CP OR just Sporting.
We are not “Sporting Lisbon”.
Heart says we play him on Saturday. He is match fit. And is better than what we have got. I mean if Lingard or Pereira is in front of him I will go mad.He is match fit and according to the reports a very confident guy who won't be intimidated by the move. One benefit is we are about to start the Winter break so he will have a few days to settle into the area and then an extended training camp with his teammates to help him get on the same page. I am confidently predicting he will dominate fat Frank and the Chelsea chavs in our first game back from the break.
I appreciate it! It’s just a respect thing you know. In my opinion at least.Well TIL, I will now refer to you guys as Sporting CP.
Never knew that. I've ignorantly always referred to the club as Sporting Lisbon. I'll have to break that habit.Good question. We literally don’t have Lisbon in our name so I don’t know why it is used. Every Sporting fan for the most part hates that people outside of Portugal say that.

Me too. It's literally the first time I've ever heard this pointed out.Well TIL, I will now refer to you guys as Sporting CP.
Of course but the name of the club is Sporting Clube De Portugal. Benfica for example have Lisbon in there name but no one says Benfica Lisbon. I prefer just Sporting as for the most part that is what is said in Portugal.I’m not very sure but is your club or stadium based in Lisbon?
Thank you, for changing the tittle thread!Done! Apologies for our ignorance.
Thank you! I don’t even know how the whole Sporting Lisbon thing started to be fair but it is a common misconception about our name.Done! Apologies for our ignorance.
Yeah agreed, he will benefit from this. I hope he starts well to take some pressure off him.He is match fit and according to the reports a very confident guy who won't be intimidated by the move.

Most outside of Portugal do for some reason and it is a pet peeve among all Sporting fans as they all hate it.Never knew that. I've ignorantly always referred to the club as Sporting Lisbon. I'll have to break that habit.
Supposed to have a good health record. Keep him away from jones ffs.Remain healthy please
English speakers have an innate need to associate sports franchises with cities or neighbourhoods.Can we please fix the title of this thread? Sporting is not and has never been “Sporting Lisbon” Lisbon is not even in our name....... can we at least get the name of the club right please?
Sporting Clube De Portugal OR Sporting CP OR just Sporting.
We are not “Sporting Lisbon”.
The club would be extatic if it comes to that and they have to pay up.Decent price. Most the add ons are if we win league and CL...
Thank you guys! It’s like someone not calling you by your name, me and most Sporting fans always felt that it’s a disrespect to the club and it’s history.Me too. It's literally the first time I've ever heard this pointed out.
Thanks for filling us in - I'll scrap adding the "Lisbon" from now on.
I guess but once again Benfica are not called Benfica Lisbon even though that would be more appropriate considering Lisbon is in the clubs name. So if Sport Lisboa e Benfica is called Benfica then Sporting Clube De Portugal should just be called Sporting or the Other shortened version mentioned.English speakers have an innate need to associate sports franchises with cities or neighbourhoods.
