Nice video by the bundesliga youtube channel listing the 10 ten Greek players there. Guess who's at no.1 ;)

Portugal have 3 decent, trophy winning, managers with Mourinho leading the pack. Italians have multiple with Ancelotti leading the pack. The Scots had multiple over the years. Same with the Spanish. Hell even Romania, Austria, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Hungary have had European Cup winning managers. But Greece? Our best managers have been foreign. The most successful manager in the Greek League is Dusan Bajevic. The most successful for the National Team is Otto Rehhagel, followed by Santos. Alefantos spent 35 years in management and won 1 cup in Cyprus. My theory is that no one cares about football in Greece, which is why there are no good managers. The club presidents just buy whatever they need which leaves no room for development or long term goals and plans. Even though teams have nothing to lose, the domination of olympiakos just saps everything out of the league, and a complacent football body sits idly by. If Aris or Ergotelis have a decent player or manager, Olympiakos will get them and discard them after a while. Their youth system seems to be good but while the German, Spanish, British, French players keep improving, the Greeks stagnate in a s%$#! league not getting the development, they need, to be as good as their foreign counterparts. Lax vision, lax goals, lax competition, lax governing body, equals lax players and managers.

Diamantakos scored his 2nd goal. I think this player will do well for the Ethniki. I agree with playing Mavrias also, but he is not playing regularly for the 1st team in Sunderland. Vellios for sure needs to be given a shot.

I would like to see Vellios paired with Diamandakos and get rid of the disinterested Miytroglou and Athanasiadis. These young guys will play with heart backed by skill. I would also like to see Mavrias too. We have no wingers on the right.

Another clear penalty given to Oly over the weekend :)

I really did not think we would salvage a win after they tied the game. Only in the last 20 minutes of the game we pushed for the win. Kace and Konstantinidis coming into the game elevated the team in my opinion. Tziolis and Pelkas need some bench time. Rodrigues tried hard, assisted on the first goal, but then appeared tired. Klaus was invisible today. Best players for us on the field were Malezas and Konstantinidis. Tzavellas had one his better games as well. Speaking of the Laola1.TV stream. I really don't like the fact that they now include a German language commentary for the game. I prefer the no commentary, with surrounding sounds of Toumba. Additionaly, I've heard some complaints from older PAOK fans (seniors) who are not computer savvy. They can't understand why they can't watch PAOK games on regular TV. My 80-year old dad for example told me today; "I don't care to watch every horio game on Dish. I want to see PAOK games."

Kala esei olo m*****es les. We are playing with our practice squad players, don't forget that.

Come on guys why do you all sound surprised, that's what they do best the xeftiles and the fans just keep quiet.....
