OK - the wonderful march through Europe of the unstoppable juggernaut that is Tottenham Hotspur FC continues after the humbling of old foes Feyernoord (it all counts).

Now we are up against Portuguese side Braha. I haven't the foggiest about this lot so does anyone know the area - I'm fairly sure it's in the north of Portugal.

So ideas on where to stay nearby would be helpful (the town itself is already sold out)

Are you sure you know who you're playing?

Surely boozing was on the syllabus at Waterloovile Primary or Havant High or wherever it was?

Braga with a "g". About two stretched out port barrels from Oporto

We didn't cover the geography of mid-ranking portugese footer clubs at mid-hants comp.

We were too busy trying to grope the tea-tarts.

I'd honestly never heard of them before this.

Judging from a bit of googling they seem to play on the side of a mountain.

On Sunday I only have to find my way to Green St. I can mange that on my annual visit to trumpton Park.

"they seem to play on the side of a mountain"

Getting "the field wasn't level" excuses in already, are we?

You should have some fellow feeling with them - tthey're a "small club" too.

God knows what's happened there.

That's the URL for the bottom picture on this page:

I am "special" when it comes to computers.


This is their stadium/mountainside:

Looks like fun when the ball goes into touch. You'd probably have to go and ask someone in South Carolina to boot it back. Eventually.
