"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender" - Winston Churchill, June 4th 1940

more is said than done.


When the s**t hits the fan, it's never distributed evenly.

The Special One:

“In normal conditions, Porto will be the champion, in abnormal conditions, Porto will also be the champion”

"I believe in freedom of speech: you make a speech and I’ll give you your freedom.”

“If I wanted to have an easy job… I would have stayed at Porto – beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.”
