Really? Up until Feburary, we were absolutely playing the best and most attractive football in the league. Then injuries took hold and we have fallen apart since. Strongly disagree with that point as I do with saying the league was "down" in 2024. Olympiacos won a European title that season. We only just pipped AEK to win the title. Saying it was down is simply untrue and inidcates you either drink too much (likely) or are just desperate to justify your point (less likely but still plausible.) Not wanting Lucescu is fair enough, it is okay to not like him for whatever reason, but claiming we played ugly football all season is not true. We were lauded across the league for playing attractive football, we scored brilliant goals, were top of the table and were drawing comparisons to the great team of the 70's. Let me finish by saying, I don't think Lucescu should be guaranteed to coach next season. There clearly needs to be a review and assessment conducted. The jungle drums are rumbling and pressure mounting more than ever from fans and media alike. There comes a point when it is better to just shake hands and move on.

There is a diabolical scenario, where we win the title if PAOK, AEK and Olympiakos are tied on points at the end of the playoffs as we beat both in tie breakers. Current standings: AEK 67 PAOK 61 Olympiakos 61 R4: Olympiakos - PAOK tie AEK - Panathinaikos tie AEK 68 PAOK 62 Olympiakos 62 R5: PAOK - AEK (PAOK win) Panathinaikos - Olympiakos (Olympiakos win) AEK 68 PAOK 65 Olympiakos 65 R6: Panathinaikos - PAOK (PAOK win) AEK - Olympiakos (Olympiakos win) Final standings: PAOK 68 Olympiakos 68 AEK 68 I know it's almost impossible to happen, but I can dream.

What a disappointing season. It hurts more so because of some of the big wins we scored against the likes of Lille. That was probably one of our greatest wins in club history in terms of opposition level and excitement. Reminds me of that win again I think it was Fiorentina ? At the last second to get out of the Europa league group stage. Regardless, we left trophies-less. Even worse than that in my opinion was the bad performances against some of the easier teams in the Europa table. We could have very well gotten a top 8 placing and skipped a round. It is time for a new coach. New voice needed. Yes we had injuries at important times, but if there ever was a time to spend it’s now. We as PAOK fans have been spoiled the last decade IMO in terms of trophies and European challenges so a bad year is understandable but not acceptable. I still believe that the Conference league is the single greatest thing to happen to Greek soccer in the 21st century. We are able to watch our teams go deeper in European play but also more importantly, gain ground on other leagues and build coefficient spots. Unfortunately under the previous 2 tournament format, I don’t think either us or Oly would have been able to do enough damage to pull the league back up to 2 champions league spots: bottom line is this. The future of PAOK and the Super league is arguably in the best position it has been since the early 2000s, provided we spend this summer, I am very optimistic for next year. PAME PAOKARA

No they don't. The Conference League Playoffs only work if someone from the top 4 (Championship Playoffs) wins the Cup. Since that didn't happen, the Conference League spot doesn't drop to 5th place. So Aris and co are playing for nothing but pride.

AEK won the Greek championship and OFI won the Greek Cup That means AEK will be in the Champions League playoffs while OFI will be in the Europa League playoffs. The second place team which PAOK and Olympiakos are fighting for, are going the second qualifying round of the Champions League, third place will be the Europa League second qualifying round. Panathinaikos finished 4th place and will play the second qualifying round of the Conference League. Here is the interest part: In the group where OFI, Levediakos, Aris, and Volos are playing, the winner of that group also go to the Conference League?

After we won the league? Your hatred of the man has no limits. Season has been a failure unfortunately, and Lucescescu made mistakes with regard to the starting 11. Our midfield (Meite and Ozdoev) were non-existent defensively, OFI consistently got between our lines and were able to turn and face their attacking goal. Taison has always been a liability defensively, OFI attacked our left side with that knowledge and constantly had 2 v 1s on that side of the pitch. If OFI had played out the game instead of going into that hideous "game management" I genuinely believe they would've won 1-3. Instead they turned it into a grudge match and that fired our boys up enough to equalise. The penalty is unlucky, the corner should never have been conceded and then Chatisids' inexperience sees him leave his arm dangling. Regardless we didn't deserve to win the Cup and if we had it would have been a case of us stealing it rather than winning it. Questions and pressure will be mounted on Lucescu and so it should be, this season which had so much promise just 2 months ago has fizzled out in the most disappointing fashion. That is something for the board and Savvidis to discuss in the summer, for now we have to attack the last 4 games. I am more worried about holding off Panathinaikos and sewing up 3rd spot than I am thinking about catching Olympiacos and coming 2nd. The anti-Savvidis crew is now out in force too following the result. It is going to be a rough week for everyone involved with the club. I do not envy any of them.

This season was a total disaster. Drastic changes need to happen. There are no excuses starting at the top and all the way to the bottom.

Still a big change from your last prediction that Giakoumakis was done for the season, though 😉

1-1 now. Things are heating up!

me too

2:0 win over Panathinaikos and we are on course for undefeated title.

My main thing with this season - from the very first moment - was that we simply cannot get our act together defensively. Don't know if that's Lucescu, the lack of a Koulierakis replacement, or something else. Btw as for Giakoumakis - we'd be dumb to not try to sign him. First striker we've had that looks dangerous in years. AND he's Greek?? Wowzers.

The 17th Panagiotis Katsouris tournament took place in Thessaloniki recently. This year's tournament featured teams academies from Greece and Europe, including Benfica, Porto, Feyenoord, Eintracht, Malmo, Bochum, Partizan, Twente, Ludogorets, Banik Ostrava and Union Saint-Gilloise. The tournament featured 20 teams in the K15 (U15) category (4 groups of 5 teams) and 24 teams in the K13 (U13) category (4 groups of 6 teams). Teams finishing in 1st and 2nd places continued in the Gold Path and teams finishing in 3rd, 4th and 5th places continued in the Silver Path. The Gold K15 winner was PAOK beating Feyenoord 1:0 in the final game. Third place went to Oxford that beat the Rangers on penalty kicks. The Gold K13 winner was Benfica defeating PAOK in the final on penalty kicks. Third place went to Eintrach beating Porto 2:1 The Silver K15 winner was Twente beating Viborg 2:1. Third place went to Makedonikos defeating Atlas Epirou 1:0 The Silver K13 winner was Jagellonia defeated Djurgarden 1:0. Third place went to Oxford defeting Banik Ostrava 2:1

Chalov scored a goal and had an assist today. Bring him back for next season! NOT

Congratulations to OFI. It is refreshing to see a team other than the big 4 win the cup (even though I say it with a sad heart). And good luck to them in Europe. As for us, it's all gone off the rails since our EL campaign ended. Injuries, lack of form. The team just isn't clicking and has dropped multiple gears. It's a shame not only because of the 100 years but also because a couple of months ago when the team was doing well, I really believed we were the best team in the league when at our best. I really thought after our EL campaign ended that the players would have time to refresh and would be firing for the play offs. Alas, not to be. The club has to now sit back and work out what's gone wrong.

I think it's time for Lucescu to go. Thank you for your services, but it's time for a fresh start.

Congratulatins to OFI. Well deserved.

Goooooooooooool Michailidis

PAOK - Bilbao 79:73 In the first game of the finals. Second leg in 7 days in Bilbao.

Ένας αιώνας ΠΑΟΚ. Happy birthday to our beloved PAOK!

Stefanos Borbokis died at the age of 59. He played for all 4 professional teams in Thessaloniki (PAOK, Iraklis, Aris and Apollon Kalamaria) and for Edessaikos. He was capped 29 times for the Ethniki scoring 6 goals.

George Henry Ivor Baldock 9-3-1993 - 9-10-2024 12 caps. * topic will not be closed to honour George.

Samaris has retired (a long time ago). He had a nice career and was capped 39 times for the Ethniki scoring 1 goal (against Ivory Coast at the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil).

The result was good in Hungary considering the lineup and missing our top players. Greece three matches now without a goal that is concerning.. Jovanovich needs to start our young promising players we cant keep stating this enough. Kourbelis should not be on this team PERIOD! Bakesetas cant be starting!!

Stefanos Borbokis died at the age of 59. Sadly he didn't make it to April 20th when we celebrate 100 years PAOK. I will never forget he was the scorer/matchwinner in the first PAOK-game I took my then girlfriend and now wife to watch: KV Mechelen-PAOK 0-1. R.I.P. Stefane.
