SydneyPAOK

Chuba Akpom is currently the leading goal scorer in the Championship with 28goals. He's on fire!

No live reports please. This is one of PAOK's biggest moments so enjoy the game guys and take it all in by staying off your phones!! You can report everything back afterwards.

Agree but let's not forget that scandals have always existed at PAOK before Savvidis, so have bad moves, poor handling of football matters, revolving door of coaches etc. Pre Savvidis, PAOK had won 6 trophies in 86 years. Under Savvidis we have won 5 trophies in 9 years Pre Savvidis, PAOK was in debt. Under Savvidis we are financially sound Let's all agree that PAOK has been better off ever since Savvidis came. Could things be run better? no doubt 100%. Has PAOK fallen off since becoming champions? no doubt 100%

Difference though is that Lucescu was Giovinco's manager at Al Hilal last season so knows exactly what he can bring to PAOK.

I think there is a monetary value related to our position with the TV rights we signed. Cant recall though if it was only 1st position where we get a bonus or 2nd also.

Lol the funny thing is that whilst he calls you anti-PAOK he spells PAOK in lower case which to me is anti-PAOK. Ps - I'm the nicer one

some defensive stats: This was our 5th straight game where we haven't kept a clean sheet. Last clean sheet was a month ago away against Granada in the 0-0 draw in our 16 competitive matches so far this season we have kept a clean sheet 4 times. Larissa 1-0, Volos 0-0, OFI 4-0, Granada 0-0.

but it always displayed the scoreline before you pressed through to the match. Now it says you can watch at anytime without any spoilers of the result. sometimes I think I suffer from amnesia thinking to myself 'i don't remember writing that' when in fact it was paoksyd 😆

Bananas, i just read the subscription package and it has the following: "Watch the On Demand games whenever you want without the platform giving away any spoilers about the result" Perfect for us Aussies to sleep in a little and watch the game "live" i just paid my tv subscription - $136.99 AUD on visa.

Has the potential to be more with bonuses: The deal is worth 7 million euros per year + 1m if the team comes 2nd or 3rd. If we win the title it's 2.5m and if we win it undefeated its another 1m. If we win the cup there's another 1m

No better time to play Benfica than now. Its a one match tie and anything can happen. Over 2 legs the better teams usually progress so I'm glad we got them now. We have already guaranteed Europa group so we have nothing to lose. Pame PAOKARA!!

Agree, very poor effort with the design. Looks like the footlocker staff shirts

Are you sure about that, I think you are misinformed You're right. Many more matches involving Olympiakos have been fixed.

Sorry Tzatziki, the CAS made their decision and cleared PAOK of any co-ownership of Xanthi. 7pts back to PAOK. You know what's fixed... the 2015 Olympiakos v Atromitos match ?

Is 9am-5pm normal to you? if so then yes what happened was not normal. If you as a person let things just be and don't fight for what you believe in then yeah this is not normal. PAOK finally has an owner that has balls to fight for the team. Why wouldn't he fight up until the 11th hour to get what he wanted? I would. So it doesn't matter if he was busting the balls of the Super League board (or whoever was in charge for this decision) non-stop throughout the night until he got a decision. I work in the corporate world and the amount of decisions that have been made overnight would blow your mind.

I didn't disagree with the statement that the goal was offside did I? It was rather the statement made "coming from a team...." what do you think Boxou is insinuating with a statement like that?... that PAOK is somehow the only team to have won from an incorrect decision or a referee paid off call it whatever you want

Isn't the co-ownership of PAOK/Xanthi just talk and allegations? difference is PAOK received a punishment. If the CAS deems PAOK guilty on evidence then i'm all for a punishment.

Oh is it impossible for a game to sell out in the matter of hours is it? Plenty of European and derby matches have been sold out within 2 hrs of ticket release for PAOK on numerous occasions. Printing tickets at scale doesn't require stone carvings and donkeys these days. Wow "coming from a team that won the Greek cup the year before with an at least 1M offside goal". Ok cool. You ever see the 2011 Greek Cup Final where AEK beat Atromitos 3-0? Probably one of the most corrupted Cup final of all time or perhaps on par with 2013 Olympiakos-Tripoli final. Yes delusional indeed.

Yes, but as per above posts which everyone agrees on, had the ref been a foreign one the players and bench would have accepted the original goal decision and the chaos that unfolded would not have played out.

Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis announces he has coronavirus

Of course it doesn't look good and that's what media does well. Ever heard of anchoring bias or anchoring effect? First piece of information you hear creates an anchoring point that incorrectly influences all subsequent assessments. So long as concrete evidence is provided proving that Savvidis injected money into Xanthi then I have zero issues with a punishment.

Yes this is Greece where PAOK and Xanthi are being punished on innuendo rather than any concrete evidence. Once this matter goes before a court then punish if found guilty of any wrong doing. At the moment it's a media campaign against PAOK which you the "journalist" is believing every article about PAOK.

I remember that match vividly. I was only 10 years old at the time and watched it on tv in Athens. When Stefanos Borbokis (my dad's 1st cousin) scored the winner late in the game I went absolutely crazy. I was probably the only person cheering in Athens that night lol. The next day I was buying all the newspapers to cut out any pictures of Borbokis so i could bring back to Sydney.

Haha thanks @Blackhawk ??

@Blackhawk can you please start a new game thread for Xanthi's road trip to Olympiakos this weekend since we own Xanthi? ?
