I was sitting behind the benches and can definitely recall a few men in suits walking over to the olympiakos bench after the 3-0 went in after 15 minutes, Oly noticeably dropped off from that point on, none of us know what was said but you would think the message went out to them to cool off, if they were allowed to go at it for 90 minutes I have no doubt they would have put 10 past victory. I'm not gonna lie most gsl games are painful to sit through, entertainment wise the A league probably wins out, the thing is the new dawners actually think that makes the Australian league better, I remember the argument a few years ago that Brisbane roar would beat Stoke city cos they play better football and Stoke just hoof it, these clowns of course failing to realise that technically every Stoke player was on average 5 levels above the quality of an A league player and the difference being that Tony pulis directed his team to play that style, just because a team plays long ball it doesn't mean they have garbage players, but that's the level of idiots we are dealing with here. Aek proved the sheer gulf in technical ability when they came here. In fact you would notice in this country we always go through phases, first it was the Dutch craze, now Spanish is all the rage, when Ange postecoglou was coaching Brisbane playing a long ball was considered a sin, this year it's all about flares...we go through these little annoying buzz stages. Meanwhile in the real world of football (Europe) teams are scraping for titles, European spots and throwing everything on the line to avoid relegation, whilst here the same bat s%$#! boring teams play eachother every 3 weeks and teams like central coast can lose 100 games in a row and still be in the top flight. The latest classic on Fornaroli is a laugh, apparently he couldn't score goals in Greece because panathinaikos never had a midfielder of the caliber of Aaron mooy to feed him LOL...the same Aaron mooy that couldn't cut it in Scotland ffs. Honestly sometimes I wish we could just press the reset button and go back to the 90s and have the NSL, at least we enjoyed it for what it was and never compared our local heroes to global players or our clubs to global giants, here in Melbourne we all loved Paul Trimboli for eg but nobody would ever claim he was world class or anything, he was just a gun for Australian soccer and we loved him for it, I miss those days when everything felt real, nowadays everyone is trapped in fantasy land and listening to it does my head in.

Tsipra, his followers, his ideology, and their counterparts in Europe are DANGEROUS and need to be taken out immediately. At this point I would say let Xrish Augh come in and reverse the damage these traitors are doing. As far as being accepted by other countries, the way things are going they'll each have their own version of Xrish Augh in power by the next round of elections. If you look at Turkeys population, not only would they take a large cut of the subsidy pie, but they are also estimating a migration waive of over 15 million people. The fate of the western world rests on the shoulders of Cyprus.

According to Contra:

Lets just call him Chatzi from now on.

I just refuse to spell his name.

Got my shirt. #1827. Got it one size bigger than usually and it fits perfect.

It`s perfectly fine to compare two national teams as often the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but measuring head-to-head individuals playing in some Asian leagues against footballers starring for top tier clubs like Bayer, Dortmund, Roma and Benfica, and claiming that the former are all equal or greater than the latter is as bias and misguided as they come.

My Grek Soccer on TV page (http://home.earthlink.net/~ziaka/GreekSoccerTVSchedules.htm) has been temporarily closed. The TV schedule for now temporarily available on a private page.

Honestly when you look at the names side by side like that and compare where each player plays his club football the gulf is pretty massive. You have big representation in champions league/ europa league with the greek team...in fact if these players played for australia the bogans here would probably label it a golden generation.

I repeat, mods should lock this thread. It is illogical, serves nothing and is downright offensive.

Scznaucner is his assistant coach. Another lost season. :tdown: Savvidis is at PAOK four years. In each of those years the coach gets fired in March.

Remember who said it first. 2 posts up! Tudor is history. Ivic takes over for the rest of the season. Hopefully the dislike of the coach played a major role in the teams performance, and the boys can finish strong. Now if we can get Klaus and Tzabellas to leave, we'd be on the right track.

He was NEVER on my list..

This guy has to get away from that league. I know we may have wishfully overhyped him a little throughout the years, but, nonetheless, talk about a wasted talent.

Thats a fair point, but in his defence, he was one of the very few players we had that could be a threat with the ball, or take an opponent on and create some offence. It's players like him that we want to have the ball as opposed to a plumber like Maniati let's say.

I still think Anastasiadis was thrown to the wolves. Yes, he's a bit of fruit loop but the fact is, he got us into 1st position for the first time ... this century. The problem of course is his personality but I still rate him as a manager. Either way, it doesn't matter anymore. What's done is done.

in his 10-11 year career he gave a better impression than most greek nationals. one of them included beating barcelona. a good career overall
