There really isn't excuses for this performance. I would expect even our reserves to get a result against these Irish farmers.

Half time. That is embarrassing.

In his defence he just skinned his opponent but Kagawa was asleep.

Παραλίγο το 2-0.

He has to bring Esiti off at half time.

Our central core is all over the place. Varela and Michailidis are both barely able to stand up. Kagawa is getting overpowered. Esiti just shouldn't be wearing a PAOK shirt.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

Defence completely sliced open. I know this is the first official game and all but some of the basics not being done.

It is all up and running again. Superman once again starting with his antics. Not on his toes for the pass back and then taking 12 seconds just to drop kick the ball to the Irish keeper.

I was talking about Olympiakos and Aris being 'one' organisation.

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα! Μια καλή ευρωπαϊκή πορεία μας τη χρωστάτε!

Akpom on his way to Turkey. Seems his dream move back home is short-lived.

I heard his father got excited and chased after the money too soon. Always easier to say things in hindsight, however he should have stayed at Barcelona instead of moving to Stuttgart.

Ετσι, "εμείς" να λες, αφού είστε ένα. Ολυμπιακάρης! Αμέσως να προστατέψεις το παράρτημά σου.

I hope our lot saw what happened with O.A.R.I.S and the paper team. We shouldn't underestimate this Irish team.

I thought this was supposed to be some mickey mouse competition. If the likes of Rubin Kazan and Union Berlin are here, then who is playing in Europa League?

ΚΟΛΟΣ γίναμε πάλι, ΑΣΤΑΝΑ πάνε!

Warda needs to be sold to a club abroad. Enough of this BS loan-to-other-Greek-teams business.

Apologies for breaking up the trail, however I just find it funny that after my previous post, SDNA comes out with this headline: It is pretty much the same as what I wrote. Back on topic, I too hope this is fake news.

Εδώ σας εχω. Έχοντας παρακολουθήσει 17 ολόκληρες καλοκαιρινές μεταγραφικές περιόδους, τα παιχνιδάκια των ΜΜΕ τα εχω μάθει απ'εξω. Σαβιόλα, Ντενίλσον, Γκούτι, Ροναλντίνιο - όλοι κλεισμένοι ήταν (και καλα). Αρχές Ιουλίου: <<Τρελό>> σενάριο που συνδέει τον (insert name of 33+ year old has been) με τον (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) Μέσα Ιουλίου: Επαφές με τον (insert name of 33+ year old has been) ο/η (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams)! Τέλη Ιουλίου: Έρχεται Αθήνα/Θεσσαλονίκη ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been)! Επίσης τέλη Ιουλίου: <<Κόλλησε>> του (insert name of 33+ year old has been) Αρχές Αυγούστου: Ζήτησε περισσότερο χρόνο ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been), κοιτάει άλλες λύσεις ο/η (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) Then finally it's make or break time: Make 1: Ξάνα στο τραπέζι οι (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) και (insert name of 33+ year old has been)! Make 2: Είπε το <Ναι> ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been), αναμένεται αύριο στην Αθήνα/Θεσσαλονίκη για υπογραφές! Break 1: Δυσκολεύει του (insert name of 33+ year old has been), στο κόλπο ομάδες απο Γερμανία, Αραβία, Μογγολία Break 2: Χάλασε/Ναυάγησε του (insert name of 33+ year old has been) ^ And that is exactly how sports journalists in Greece sell their newspapers. Every summer. Keep the story alive even if it isn't.

Lyratzis is gone?

He wanted to go home so I am sure he is happy. It was good while it lasted.

Giovinco - seems we STILL haven't learned from Berbatov and Kagawa.

Παίξτε μπάλα και πάρτε την πρόκριση και ας είναι διοργάνωση της πλάκας.

A former lad of ours, Alexandros Gargalatzidis, went on loan to Suduva from OFI. Scored 2 in his first 3 games. Being in Lithuania I bet he is scoring off the pitch as well. Lucky man! I am sure he will also come back to haunt us one day. Either that or we will buy him back in a couple of years so that we can send him on loan somewhere.
