Blackhawk, if you could compile some stats on how often we do better after a return leg looks insurmountable, I will gladly send you a tsoureki. My aunt gave me four :(

So, rumblings that we are looking for a big name, but no actual names being dropped? What a shocker. Hellenic clickbait.

Brkic hurt his hip, but it doesn't seem serious. I'm guessing we'll see a few players sitting this game out due to accumulation of yellows (Leovac, Shakhov?)

Agreed. Even if it happens, wouldn't it go down next season?

inPAOK, in an article about foreign players, note that Jairo is not likely to come back to us next season. The club doesn't think he's good enough, though I'm not sure if that's a "for now" or if that's permanent. Assuming they keep him, we will have no room for any other non-EU players (we'd be at our limit), and we'd actually be over the limit if Pereyra comes back (which I'm sure he won't). Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Jairo is not brought back specifically because Michel already has his sights on someone. http://inpaok.com/347996/

Scored an absolute stunner today: http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/sokratis-borussia-dortmund-goal-video-frankfurt-bundesliga-highlights-041517?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The U12s are headed to the Netherlands for a tournament, where Varela will also be to watch his son play. Dutch Eagle, will you be there to give him some emotional support?

I agree as well, a defense-first philosophy will lead to us losing. I think Ivic's mistake on Wednesday were the inclusion of Campos on the wrong side, the exclusion of Pelkas for so long, not playing Biseswar, and keeping Koulouris in when he clearly had no connection to his wingers/midfielders. The match in Toumba will be a different beast. At least by then, Prijovic will be back. It'll be hard, but it's not over yet.

They won 1-2, I wouldn't be surprised if Olympiakos makes it through. What's this I hear about crowd troubles? I wonder how many points they'll be deducted (or will we be receiving their punishment on their behalf?)

Shakhov needed x-rays for his ribs after this match, looks like he's okay. Canas sprained his ankle, but should be fine soon too.

Dortmund's pretty pissed about having the play the game the next day. Sokratis made some headlines with, "We're not animals"

Definitely. Very poor performance.

Cimirot in for Shakhov, last sub

Isn't Leto supposed to be in jail or something right now?

Literally standing around with their dicks in their hands

Prijovic for Matos, make it happen Ivic

Considerably better, in fact

Kitsiou in for Campos

Get Matos off, this has been building

Pelkas for Henrique (who has a yellow)

Pretty sure that's Prijovic warming up on the side

Prijovic wouldn't be there if he wasn't ready (I hope). Get him in there ASAP.

Matos having a complete flipout

Yeah, that's Biseswar's job!

Must be the third time this season that Glykos has passed to an opponent
