I am so glad nobody put Theon Greyjoy and Berbatov in the same sentence... :)

@Amorgo, Tzanetopoulo started as a DM for our squad last year, it wasn't until Kolovetsio got injured that we were forced to play him in the CB position. As for Mellisanidi, c'mon guys were talking about the guy who took over OPAP, he's got all the cards in his hands right now and up until a few months ago he was vocal about all the shady dealings of Olympiako. Right now we are relying on APOLLON SMIRNHS to push the case regarding Veroia and the gauro fixing their match. Alafouzos is constantly battling the gauro, and Savidi is getting more vocal as well. The only one taking a back seat right now is Tigri, and I understand he's got a lot on his plate especially with the stadium but in that case bring in someone who can be a REAL full time president and not a cardiologist.

Look guys I agree that calling for people's heads is not the way to go right now and that without tigri we would be in the same condition the skouliakia are right now BUT I have to agree with Original 21 in that no one is above criticism. Since the beginning of the season I have been saying to keep the tones low as we will primarily be looking for a play off spot. For what ever reason people in the team started talking about the title and putting insane expectations on the team. Now, I don't know if most of it was just media hype or if Melissanidi really ever said any of these things but he certainly never came out to deny them, or to calm the crowd either. From my own personal experience, I met Melissanidi a few months ago at the AEK fan club. Although he didn't say much, when asked about signings he told us all that the he is here and that the team will bring in good players and most importantly ANY need the team has will be fulfilled. In my opinion spending more money when in B division than you do your first "Erxomaste" year in A division is inexcusable. The mistakes that were made this summer were stingy and the difference between a good team and a great team could have been made with two decent signings. Instead you are going into derbies playing a 20 year old DM (who is good but in now way someone to trust on a weekly basis) as a CB, and a 24 year old inconsistent 2nd option defender. In offense you have a player that has been injured since August, Another player who's career is probably over, an Aravidi who is not a lone striker CF, and a player who is nearing a year at the club and has not impressed anyone. I won't even mention the fact that we don't have a true LW as that problem is minor , but the other two problems are extreme. The summer stingyness is not only embarrassing us because every week scoring is a major issue but also because out of the 3 options you had for CF, one of them paid for himself, and the other two are tearing it up right now. These are moves that a serious leader does not make. When you spend your entire time in B division creating anticipation and adding fuel to the rivalry with Marinaki you don't go into your "Hrthame" year having only bought ONE contract. If you want to talk the talk you've got to back it up as well. As far as the issue of corruption is concerned, we haven't see any serious progress there either. I hope its true that Melisanidi is waiting for the stadium issue to progress before he turns the engines on. But until then he has to make his intentions and actions clear because this past summer was one giant ###### mess of contradicting statements and contradicting actions. Like I've said other times, my biggest frustration comes from the fact that I really like this squad and with two necessary signings this team could have really been a lever higher and been a true title contender but they decided to skimp 90% of the way through.

People are saying Moyes could get the Villa got if Sherwood gets sacked. Apparently its not going to well for Moyes at Real Sociadad and the fans were shouting for him to "go home" to Britain. To be honest I'm surprised at how bad Villa have been this season, they have some decent players like Richards, Grealish and Gestede. Also Sherwood looked like the right manager for them last season.

My opinion, Dellas f*cked us by taking off Simeos and opening up our midfield, I know he was chasing the game but ffs take off a winger, not a guy who one was of our best. Oly's coach was smart and got Fourtounis ready after that and we saw what he did. The offside calls and fouls that weren't given I wont even bother with, its honestly a waste of time but it does show how shallow Oly really are with the players they have and the money they have poured to need calls like that to beat a young AEK side. Overall 4-0 sounds bad but those that watched the game would know it really wasn't a 4-0 game. All I have heard is people taking digs at meli and I want to ask "where would AEK be if Meli didn't take over" think about that for a second. Yes he may need to spend money but when we are winning game NO ONE says Meli needs to spend then, its when we lose everyone starts that sh*t. He isn't the type to come out and spend like crazy. I have said enough bad result but we move onto next week.

Impossible to bring in 10 new players during one transfer window like Villa did this past Summer and expect any manager to figure out a good mix and bring in consistency so quickly. They looked clueless and doomed at the moment and TS is on the chopping block. Yesterday they were a tad unlucky to lose 2-0 against a very ordinary Chelsea team. A horrendous mistake by Guzan and then a unfortunate deflection for a og.

Great scene from the game Larissa - Ergotelis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut9XRHoo_uk&feature=youtu.be

Another long compilation of Celtic goals http://youtu.be/9x7jCt8tBOo I think even the biggest cynic among us would admit there is some fantastic stuff here, even if the Scottish league is nothing special. All kinds of ways to find the net and some real skill on display. And as a Greek it does makes me proud to see all the praise coming from the xenoi.
