petsos will be in the squad....Can't see him in the 11 ahead of Taxi or Samaris

What do you call fair and square? Being one goal down for a penalty that was given on a challenge outside the box? You remember the game Paok-Pao last year? The team started out the same way because of the fact that Pao in Toumpa sits back and hits Paok on the counter. The entire first half they were better than us but we ended up scoring first and winning the game in the end. What makes you think the same thing wasn't gonna happen last night? Now i agree with you that Pao needs to perform much better and even if the koraki gave Paok a papoutselino penalty we still need to turn the game around and win it. But let me ask you a question, why is PAO the only team in the world that if we don't play a good game we never deserve to win??

You guys putting Pelkases and Fortounides and Karelides on the sides are missing the point. Every good team in Europe plays with extrems. This is true. But , what has that done for our teamm on this campaign ? playing with

Just tried to create the topic for the next match, but it sent me to a CAPTCHA screen which resulted in it getting lost. Ugh. Will try again tomorrow. In the meantime, here's Tudor's press conference:

whats up...is it the shambolic effect this team have had this season or is he seriously rethinking his future and not in a good place right now mindset wise...

I think Greeks have become or have been neurotic for a long time. With our capital city being built around the Parthenon, it is a daily reminder to the people that we were a great and advanced nation. The problem is, the current generations still think we are. This is evident in the way we vote, the way the public sector is run, the way corruption and nepotism are mainstays in the culture, and the idol worship of football owners, faction leaders, celebrities, and the like. Our history hangs over us and makes us feel insecure. We don't do great things, we live in the past were we did great things. Media companies, and those who own them, love this because they appeal to those insecurities. Instead of doing the right thing, doing things that work, making tough decisions, we throw tantrums and react emotionally by giving power to RIGHT WING FASCISTS, for example. Even when we all agree about something we assume someone else will fix it. If it isn't fixed, we blame the system. In the mean time the oligopolies and monopolies, and the same families behind them, gain more power. There are clever people in Greece, there are creatives, entrepreneurs, philosophers, teachers, intellectuals, but they are all drowned out by stupidity, blind faction loyalty, nepotism, greed and the establishment. I'm not sure if this was done by accident, a result of our environment, but it is quite clear when every political faction and every political leader talks about change and improvement yet the same thing happens every time and the people are either satisfied, in denial or feel powerless for any meaningful change. Varoufakis was one of these renegade rebels that didn't play by the rules and people where drawn to him because he was something different. Someone who stood up against the austerity. Someone who stood up for the people, who stood up for what the people deep down wanted to do, to stand up to the iron grip of pervasive austerity and authoritarianism. But people invested too much in him and he was taken out anyway because he was too extreme for the E.U. He was a big risk for the wealthy of the Eurozone because he spoke more sense than they did. We are worse off having taken extraordinary amounts of bailout money since the start of the crisis, and he was right. No one actually wanted to help Greece, they wanted to help their own influential interests. In order to see this you have to look at the underlying ideology, instead of what is being presented to you. Maybe Tsipras really was another Fidel Castro revolutionary. Maybe he did believe what he said before getting into power. But what has he done any different than any of the previous leaders? Nothing. No one asks why. One faction blindly follows him, previous supporters are disillusioned, another says he's a dirty communist, another says that immigrants are the problem, all vying for power the cycle repeats itself.
