He raised his hand to the bench a couple of times indicating he wanted to be subbed. It is typical of PAOK for a player to be kept on despite his plea to be taken off, then sub him within ten seconds of getting booked. It is almost like: - "We know if you get booked you are banned from the 2nd leg but we need you to stay on." (10 seconds pass) - "OK he's booked. Bring him off now that he is banned from next week's game."

You play both and rest Paschalakis.

If we do get through then any further progress will be over-achieving. The teams left are all of a high calibre.

Just got back from a delightful evening at the fan club here in London. Nice win but we could have perhaps snatched another. Both Yugoslavs got unnecessary yellows and will be missed next week. I assume Schwab and El Kaddouri will come in for them. Lyratzis MOTM. Has Murg had a perm?

You need to actually play to get carded.

Yeah I am pretty sure the new Panathinaikos stadium is also just PR by Bakogiannis to get votes.

I think it's possible but it would take a lot of changes. Changes which nobody wants to make.

Give them all 3 year contracts. Absolutely ridiculous.

MLS is a strange one. In fact North American sports in general are rather foreign to me. No relegation - what?!

Everyone knew this would happen.

I think the decline in Crespo's form may be linked to his haircut. All the time he looked like a used car salesman/surf instructor, he was on top of his game.

That's a shame!

"Best I can do is €200 and I'll pay for his flight."

Καλά δεν ήταν μόνο η κούραση, κάναμε και ροτεϊσον. Να σας πω την αλήθεια, δεν μας πειράζει και τόσο που δεν νικήσαμε. Όλοι ξέρουμε πως ρίχνουμε όλο το βάρος στο κύπελλο και στην Ευρώπη.

Get a ribbon his head and ship him out.

From being rumoured with a move to Lazio to going to OARIS, to then playing for Veria. Such a shame.

Perfect. That money will come in handy when renewing El Kaddouri's contract.

Trying to get a ticket for the game but I think it will be quite tough. Their stadium has a capacity of just 20,000. Considering we only get 5% and all the fan clubs in Germany, Belgium and Switzerland will want to go, I think it will be difficult to find one.

All happening just so OARIS can make the playoffs. Next to be punished will be OFI.

I love Lucescu's little smile after the game as if he knew all along we would go through.

Actually I can do Belgium too so I'll take Gent.

So we could actually draw Copenhagen again? Considering it's the only country I can travel to, I might just take that.

Μέχρι και τα καθίσματα στα γραφεία της ΟΥΕΦΑ στην Νίον ξέρουν οτι θα κληρωθούμε με την Άλκμααρ.

I just don't understand this team. We ALWAYS have to do things the hard way.

If Colak was wearing a Malmo shirt he would have buried that. El Kaddouri should be ashamed of himself.
