Omen time

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

last time we beat Benfica 4-1 at home in a Euro QF, we went on to win that trophy by beating the opposition at their own ground ...

we also beat a Spanish & Romanian team on the way

[Tones]

All sounds good. Nice mockering Macca ffs!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

the mockers have been very good to us this past week or so. I think they've taken our side

 

and anyway, them's the facts

[Nathan Explosion]

last time we beat Benfica 4-1 at home in a Euro QF

 

The 4-1 against Benfica in 1984 was away - it was 1-0 at home.

Why, did the Pope have a cold in 2001 ?

Does this not constitute putting the mockers on the mockers? Can this be wise? It's the mockering equivalent of the large hadron collider.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I was wondering this. It could come back to kill me, or maybe it'll destroy the mockers for ever

[allawee]

In 2001, I moved house, and today after 9 years I completed on my new house! freaky!
