Lyratzis is flying to Lublin too for just in case. A player - not Kenny according to the media - might be too injured to play or sit on the bench. We'll see. Our initial squad: Παβλένκα , Τσιφτσής, Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Αρίτζ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Τέιλορ, Γκόμεζ, Θυμιάνης, Σανταμαρία, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλιας, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Άλι, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Μύθου, Γερεμέγεφ.

Today's PAOK semifinal game will be televised on ERT 2 Sport, which can be accessed through ERTFlix.

Oops, somehow I forgot about the play-off round. In any case I'd rather lose to Anderlecht than Hammarby.

Omonoia as Cypriot champions trying to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in club history. But it begins against a club that qualified last year!

Travelling to Lublin for our first official game this season : Παβλένκα , Τσιφτσής, Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Αρίτζ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Τέιλορ, Γκόμεζ, Θυμιάνης, Σανταμαρία, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλιας, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Άλι, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Μύθου, Γερεμέγεφ. Will you be so kind to make the topic for the Dynamo Kyiv awaygame with logo's, @Blackhawk?

We had this type of stripes before. I remember we wore them against Feyenoord in the friendly I attended at De Kuip with Koutsias and Tzolis (pen.) scoring. I like the kits with 7 or 8 stripes like we had last year. Only need to fix that back and front-stripes are matched and not "a mess" at the shoulders.

I am afraid not, fearless leader. We need to survive three rounds. After EL Q3 there is the play-off in EL or CoL. Having said that we better play Anderlecht as we take their coefficient if we fall to CoL and as that is 30.750 we would still be seeded. If we face Hammarby and drop to CoL we will have their coefficient of 6.000 and will be unseeded with possible opponents as Atalanta, Braga, Freiburg, Monaco, Copenhagen, Brighton to name a few. A nightmare draw awaits in that case.

At a minimum we need to eliminate Kiev. That way even if we lose to Anderlecht or Hammarby we are guaranteed Conference League League phase.

Not a fan of the thin stripes. Guess won't be getting this one.

Love the new jersey and can't wait to see what the away and third kits look like. Funny enough the only PAOK jersey I actually own is that stunning blue third kit from like five years ago, with Tzolis' name on it. This one might be a buy for me.

2836 season tickets sold on day 1. I can not recall these huge numbers in past years.

I think that Hammarby is tougher at this moment as it is summer and they are second in the Allsvenskan. Anderlecht has no big names going through their roster. Therefore I think we will meet the Swedes as I have a feeling that we will beat Dynamo Kyiv. The ultimate banana skin.

There goes our Europa campaign

All doable but gonna be tough, esp Andserlecht...

If we lose in EL Q2 and demote to the Conference League we will face the loser of Qarabag vs CSKA Sofia in CoL Q3. First leg at home.

For the Europa League it is first a home leg against Hammarby or Anderlecht.

If we are demoted to the Conference League we are seeded and face one of: Losers of pairing HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) - Pafos FC (CYP) Losers of pairing FC St. Gallen 1879 (SUI) - SL Benfica (POR) Losers of pairing Qarabağ FK (AZE) - PFC CSKA Sofia (BUL) Winners of pairing NK Aluminij (SVN) - FC Dinamo City (ALB)

The unseeded in our group for the EL-draw this afternoon: Winners of Pairing 3 Hammarby IF (SWE) - RSC Anderlecht (BEL) Winners of Pairing 4 HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) - Pafos FC (CYP) Jagiellonia Białystok (POL) Winners of Pairing 5 Tromsø IL (NOR) - FC Hradec Králové (CZE)

Um folks we don't need this: https://inpaok.com/909465/protathike-ston-paok-o-choselou/ https://www.transfermarkt.com/joselu/profil/spieler/81999 -edit- also, Bianco seems like he's moving to Modena in Serie B. Did they really offer more than us? I doubt it. Though apparently Fiorentina sold only 50% of his rights.

Lots of match-ups there that could be fun...

These are our possible opponents if we advance past Kyiv : winner of Maccabi vs FC Sherrif winner of Anderlecht vs Hammarby winner of Pafos vs Hajduk Jagiollena loser of Sturm Graz vs Heart of Midlothian loser of Gornik vs Fenerbache winner of Hradec vs Tromso Really just have to hope we don’t get paired with Anderlecht. I don’t think Fener would drop down but they’d be a problem too

The sale of season tickets starts Monday 20th of July. It will be for another last season in Toumba. Well I went in 2023 to say farewell to Toumba in a match against the worms so I am not convinced yet. Especially since there is not even the slightest beginning of making our new stadium. Buyers of season tickets have the opportunity to buy season tickets first for the new "Double Eagle's Nest". Smart marketing to mention that, though it has always been the case that season tickets holders can renew before the sale for the leftovers begin.

Here comes the big move! He is returning to the Premier League, this time to join reigning champions Arsenal. He is a far more mature and developed footballer than when he went to Norwich as a 19 year old. Good luck to the kid, I am sure he is going to go well!
