Can we discuss for a minute, if you will, how much of a disorganized bourdello this AEK win makes us look like?
Look at the timeline of them dropping to Gamma Ethniki, then B' Ethniki and then Back to "Super" League..... Look at the money we spent, and the fapes we ate.
Now, let's be realistic....90 times out of 100 Oly smokes AEK in the final, but this was the perfect storm of circumstances needed for AEK to take it and they did. Every time we get an opportunity to take it, we turn around, bend over and take it in a different way altogether.
I swear they built Toumpa on an old Pontio Refugee Massacre site, and the souls of the dead curse us to this day...I mean, how else can you explain the phenomenon that is PAOK. PAOK is where careers go to die, or take a break. Like Maartens, who was a stud in AZ comes here to fizzle. MAduro, hot prospect, nothing here, goes BACK and has the season of his career. Stoch comes out guns blazing, does nothing for most of the season, then shows life the last 3-4 matches again. Lucas comes here and is mediocre at best, with glimpses of talent, leaves and is a dominant force in La Liga.... LA MOTHER-FUKIN-LIGA!!!! And has the likes pf Arsenal, Barcelona amongst others knocking on his door. Noboa...high expectations...zero return on investment. Necid came to Greece to rehab, and went on and had a decent season if I recall. Olympiakos signs a the Gypsy's nephew form the periptora down the street, and he's a top 10 scorer....We sign Berbatov and he....well, you know...I don't need to open fresh wounds. Natkho came and delivered.......for 6 moths....and no intention of staying.
Ok... I blabbed on for much longer than I expected.
Have a good day.
