Would be surprised if Campos starts, he is still training individually...

Whoa...so who leaves? I'd guess Glykos?

Kapino's ass was saved by the outstanding performance of our center backs.

Read a few things lately... First off - and this is not regarding players, but admin/staff - it seems Michel is on the hunt in the Netherlands and Portugal: http://inpaok.com/343181 I've also seen that the Turks (or at least one periodical there) are once again linking Stoch with us. I'll reiterate that I think he's a gun and would love him back, though he carries some risk in terms of his wages and attitude. I'd say at this point his time at Fenerbace is definitely at an end.

Sabo on the bench for Slovakia vs Malta. Looks like Mak is starting. Just tuning in now, myself

Seems weird that you'd start - or even play - Oikonomou there when Stafylidis is a left back and would be the logical choice there. If Skibbe called up - and played - any wingers at all, that's where he would have been in this match.

I doubt that it would give us an appreciable boost (assuming we even win against who we're going again), but the EPO's unwillingness to organize friendlies has been driving me nuts for years now. Every opportunity we have is utterly wasted. And it wasn't that long ago that the people who would be chosen to play in these friendlies were Karagounis, Katsouranis, and Gekas.

We did not look equal to Belgium. It was only our CBs that kept our heads above water, for loooong periods of time. Tzavellas should have been subbed out at halftime, with Stafylidis shifting into LB. It was GUARANTEED that Tzavellas would have gotten another card. I mean come on, you could see it coming from a mile away. Surprisingly good performance by team overall, though, I thought. As is often the case, if you had told me yesterday that we'd get a draw out of this match then I would have been ecstatic. But losing the win with 1 minute to go? Ugh that stings.

Leovac didn't even make the bench. In fact, I saw him in a training video from today, so he clearly returned already. Cimirot starting vs Gibraltar. They gave him the #7 for some reason.

Absolutely, Zeca is 100% going to play, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start. Skibbe wants to make his mark a la Holebas/Santos.

If he's getting paid and is happy, more power to him

Well they're just creditors!

Looks like Prijovic's stitches from his surgery were removed today. Might end up back in training right around the time we play our last regular league game.

I love yoouuu <3

We've received a ban for our next European match due to "racist" displays in gate 4, in the game vs Schalke. I believe it's just that gate that's closed off. edited for spelling

Maduro's going to be a free agent this summer. You'll recall that after he moved to his new home, he noted that it was impossible to get noticed at a club in Greece, so he's glad to be home. He played a total of three times this season. I doubt many people noticed him.

So...now the claim is retroactively amended? Hasn't he spent the last two years in the ICU? I mean I guess he can't be responsible for goals if he doesn't play.

Signing on for two more years?

Ivic watched the Greek U21 play vs Hungary today; Lamprou scored the first goal. Looks like Koulouris, Deligiannidis, and Lamprou were in the squad.

Won vs Hungary's U21 today, 2-1. Goals by Lamprou and Vergos. Not sure who scored for Hungary (it was an own goal)

Yup, I made a mistake. The game was 0-0, we forfeited after the fact due to fielding Giannou. The almighty KPaps played during our 2-1 loss vs Croatia and our 4-2 loss vs Germany. Any other claims you want to make about how impenetrable he makes our defense?

Good topic idea! Loaned abroad: Sabo - sell him (he seems eager to go anyway). Seems like a less-good Shakhov. Dimitriadis, Qose, Kousta - I really have no idea, but they're cheap to keep, very young, and are on longer-term contracts (I believe). Might end up good. Antonis - says he wants to return, I say Ivic try him out next summer and see if he's improved. Seems to be getting game time, and God knows we need someone to cover for Canas, especially if Kace leaves. I wouldn't be surprised if that role gets filled by a new transcription, though. Konstantinidis, Giannoulis - loan Giannoulis somewhere he'll actually see time. Konstantinidis might make an impact here next season though. Will be an interesting battle, between him and Kitisou. Loaned domestically: Jairo - he might be ready to replace Campos, who I think might get the boot. Stylistically, he's not much different from him. Made of glass and a magnet for cards, though. all the rest - loan them out again. Poor Pozoglou, thought he was better than this I know it's easier said than done, but finding teams that actually need these players - in good leagues - will do wonders for helping them develop. We have way too much guys sitting on the bench at Panserraikos. What's the point of having all these players if we're not going to try to develop them?

Veroia players refusing to practice because they haven't been paid? Sounds like we have one team that needs to be relegated, for sure.

I wouldn't. Kapino who?

Even a single draw might be enough to put us above Bosnia when all is said and done.
