We don't have to watch Lingard and Preirera play number 10 anymore? Really? I feel emotional. My eyes have suffered for long enough.
I can see why it would be irritating.Most outside of Portugal do for some reason and it is a pet peeve among all Sporting fans as they all hate it.
I usually just say Sporting.
4th and a cup? This is what you want?Hopefully he will take us to 4th and one of the cups.
Also a goal threat from #10 position and a good set piece taker
This season.4th and a cup? This is what you want?
How long have you supported Sporting Lisbon?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”.
this is an actual TIL for me. have always called them Sporting Lisbon, and thinking of it now, I have no clue why.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?

Fair enough.This season.
Club won’t be happy when other clubs get smart and start putting in 5-6th payment clausesThe club would be extatic if it comes to that and they have to pay up.
Would it be equal to someone referring to Manchester United as the United club of Manchester?Most outside of Portugal do for some reason and it is a pet peeve among all Sporting fans as they all hate it.
I usually just say Sporting.
I am thinking he will go the Raul Meireles route..Was he a success?Hope he does well. Won't be surprised if he doesn't. Big step up.
A 6/10 maybe.I am thinking he will go the Raul Meireles route..Was he a success?
Yeah, no pressure lad, we have needed this signing, I hope he does really well.Welcome Bruno, now save our entire football club please
Biggest flop since Messi. How many goals did Messi score for United? Exactly.
the biggest flop since Alexis Sanchez
ToxicHow long have you supported Sporting Lisbon?
Because he is a champion of the common folk.Why does Gary care so much?
That's probably true but might be deceiving as to his quality given he's not really close to those two but there are a bunch of other portuguese players who are just about on the same level.I am so happy for him but sad at the same time. Happy because he deserved this move but sad because he left Sporting. He is the third best Portuguese player at the moment after CR7 and Silva and I hope he shows all his quality at United. I can’t wait to see his debut and I hope to see him show all his quality at United! Looks like I will be ordering a new United jersey soon so I have both his Sporting and United Jerseys.
To add to this, while Porto, Vitoria and Braga are more regional clubs with a strong connection to the city, Sporting fans and the club itself are more spread out across the country as are Benfica fans. That's the main reason Sporting fans dislike getting called Sporting Lisbon by international media, other than the fact it's simply not what the club is called.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.
Did his wife cheat on him with a united fan or something? Whys he sour?
I guess but even then United and Manchester is in the name.Would it be equal to someone referring to Manchester United as the United club of Manchester?
They're completely different players...Last nail for Fred, I suppose!
Everton Liverpool has a nice ring to it.I guess but even then United and Manchester is in the name.
As an example it would be if I called arsenal “Arsenal London” or Chelsea “Chelsea London” or “Liverpool Merseyside”
