Truley unberlivable stuff... to go down 2-0 to those guys was heartbreaking in Agia Sofia, thank god we turned it around and got through.
Antwerp now, tougher team than I thought after looking them up, they have a great record at home so anything but defeat tomorrow will be good
Olympiakos guaranteed some kind of European play this season. Win this round and it's Europa, if not, the Conference League. First leg is in Piraeus at home to Serbian side Cukaricki.
Looks like Samata's scans were clear and he has escaped without doing anything serious. He will be monitored day-to-day and is a chance to be fit against Hearts this week.
Even if he misses the first leg, massive relief that he hasn't suffered a long term injury.
The Missus booked us a surprise anniversary trip to Spain so I am unable to make the trip to Scotland and link up with Scotsman. In fact our flight is at the same time so I will miss the game entirely. I just hope we can carry on our good form and get a result.
On the plus side - the TV earnings will be split by those teams if they make it in, so that trims of the advantage. Just got to focus on ourselves now, and hope the meager funds we may pocket help.
Let the foustanellas envelop the kilts, in other words.
Somehow AEK clawed back with 2 extra time goals to advance to the playoff round of Champions League Qualifying. We have 2 teams with a chance to make the group stage in Panathinaikos and AEK. Olympiacos also are a step away from the Europa League Group Stage as are we in the Conference League. Aris almost joined us with a shocking upset of Dynamo Kiev but gave up a late goal to crash out: overall one of the best European starts for Greek teams in a long while. It pains me to root for some of these teams but after the coefficient work we put in 2 years ago, we deserve something in return from them. PAME ELLADA
