The players and their enablers at EPO are absolutely responsible for the train wreck post world cup. These uninspiring clowns couldn't beat the Faroe Islands or Luxembourg yet they then go back to their top clubs playing Champions League, Serie A, Bundesliga etc. It hasn't really been suggested but surely something sinister has been occuring behind the scenes. These guys being paid to lose? Gambling syndicates involved? EPO have some bizarre plan to destroy Greek football? In any case we scapegoated Ranieri and to a lesser extent Karagounis although the latter behaved poorly and was never suited to the role he was given.

Interview with Tudor after being fired. Nothing we don't already know about the inner workings of the club: http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/toudor-thlipsi-alla-kai-anakoufisi-pou-efuga-apo-paok/3151164 In this interview he reveals that Savvidis tried to force Ivic onto Tudor's team, which is so stupid. Savvidis is truly clueless as to how to run a club, on the actual Football Operations side of things. I'll trade the online boutique, the facebook/twitter pages, the constant video's of practice, of the sideline during games, and general "PAOK TV" channel and even the renovations to Toumba, for just a stable core of knowledgable professionals running the team. Is that too much to ask? http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/toudor-ithele-na-mou-epibalei-ton-ibits-o-sabbidis/3151181

nice photoshopping when was the last time you saw anything that green and tidy in Greece

To be fair, nobody expected much from this season after the disaster last year. Furthermore Tudor is inexperienced and made the same mistakes again and again as we had seen with Panthrax and the gries in both away and home games. Btw I'm new here so... hey guys!

Here was my Greece kit birthday cake, my wife got me recently (age is wrong though!):

False story created by Metrosport media group to sell papers in my opinion. Gazprom has no reason to invest in Greece, unless the Greek government in Germany agrees to construct an oil pipeline that would bring gas from Russia to Europe.

Does anyone know where this area is? I am trying to place it in the neighbourhood of Toumba but I can't figure it out.

Greenman his current contract is until 2017. The club wants to give him a new long term contract so Sebastian can end his career with Pao.

Ranieri has been a dud his entire career, what he has done this year however is truly spectacular.

Fortounis should start wayyyyy ahead of Mantalo. :argue:

Kone's injury during the cup was a HUGE blow for us. He was easily our best attacker.

To keep picking Tzioli, Skibbe has not got enough trust in Tachtsidis and Samaris as vision-passing type players, to play together as dm's. They would play as one at dm, while the other is at cm. They won't both be dm. Skibbe wants more experience in that zone, and he views Tzioli, unfortunately as one of these, although his passing game is not great quality. At least Petsos is still 22 years old, as is prospective Kourbelis, who must be picked in the squad, and trusted to do what he knows.

Nice, heres our opponents:
