Original Sydney, pana97, back off these kids...I think they really wanted to start this forum to find out where there real fathers are stationed now. They just might be ashamed to say it.... Doxa/Greeks, It's ok guys if ur dads live in Missouri, Kentucky or Mississippi.. With the help of the U.S. Navy, we will find them.

@ Original Sydney 2004 was a generational team..imagine Dabizas was there...right now our 3 best players are CB..play them..thats what coach has to do..now we need to find some pace down the wings and some inform attacking players..I believe Samaris Tachtsidis Petsos can play the middle of the parkclog it up bulldog mentality and all three can play passes up the field...great insulation behind them...I believe in Skibbe vision of a 3-5-2.

^Blackhawk you are absolutely right. I've had said this from day one. I don't care how boring our soccer looks what I care about is results, we need to go back to our boring defensive minded style of play and find out ways to sneak a 1-0 wins. I understand we will tie a lot of games but that's okay and least we will not be losing to teams like Lux and FI. For some reason it went to a lot of people's head that we need to get away from what was successful and very boring looking to all of sudden becoming this attacking force. We suck when we do that and are very easy to score against when we play that way. The game against Turkey which I wasn't happy with only because all this s%$#! has happened before, but realistically we went in to Turkey we gave up more chances but our Defence held its own and we created a few counter attacks and possibly could come out with a 1-0 victory. That's how the Greek team needs to play against every opponent. I also hear a lot of guys saying we should play Defence against the better teams and open it up against the weaker teams in the World Cup campaign. If we do that we will lose to cypress and possibly Estonia just like we did with Lux and FI. I guarantee if we played boring defensive soccer we would be in the euros right now. STOP trying to change our style it doesn't work for us. Everyone is scratching there heads to what in the world possibly went wrong with this team and the answer is simple, play to our strengths and forget trying to make us an attacking team at the expense of our defense.

I'll be amazed if offers don't come in for Mak. He's been prolific this season. If he could actually finish, he'd have 40 goals by now.

I've made a promise to one of my cousins who in his younger days used to be a gate 4 psycho that if and when PAOK make it to he champions league group stages I will fly over for a fortnight and take in a home and an away game and take him with me.

The first time I went to Toumba was October 3rd 1990. I was student law at Rotterdam University and got the opportunity to study abroad. I chose Athens. I wanted to look how life was in Greece other than in summer. As there was no schedule of starting lessons at the end of September I went to some cousins in Thessaloniki to visit them. I saw a friend of mine and he told me about the UEFA-cup match agains Sevilla. So we went. Kick-off 8.30 pm. Entered the stadium 6.30 pm because otherwise we could get disappointed. Gamo tis atmosferes. I could not believe my eyes. This is where I wanted to be more often. The game itself was not a very good one. After the promissing 0-0 in Sevilla a victory was al we needed and avoiding to recieve a goal. 0-0 after extra time. So penalties to decide the game. Unfortunatelly we lost. As my friend said. Best players must not take the penalties because there is too much pressure. And he was right. Our best players missed. The hardworking defenders scored. But we gave them an applaus as heroes. Later on in my life I must have attended another 15 games in Toumba. The past 8 years with my wife and kids. All dressed in the rige fanela!
