C´mon Greg, Tripeiro comes from “tripa”, Porto´s people favourite snack since the crusades… They´ve evolved towards “francesinha” (it´s fucking delicious and you can´t really get it in Lx – when you do manage to find it, it´s not really IT), but it would sound strange to call them “francesinhas”… Not manly enough…

I’ve got one frigging reader and he has to be the only person on the planet who happens to know the correct spelling for every mean thing to call the top teams in Portugal .

You´re probably right – But it is spelled “Tripeiros”…

I prefer Triperos to Corrupt ones. Triperos has a certain ring to it that “The corrupt ones” just could never match.

You forgot to mention Sapunaru – He was Sporting best player!!! Shame on you.
And it is not Porto – they are called “The corrupt ones”.
