Δυστυχώς δεν μας βλέπω καλά!

Two plays that sum up our team right now: 1) 50th minute with Spiderman Paschalakis trying to be an acrobat. Instead of just jumping and catching the ball and landing on his feet, he jumps, put his legs sideways in order to simulate a Matrix scene and land on his side. Due to the fact that he is a clown, he doesn't realise that the wet surface will cause momentum in his slide. He clearly handles outside the box but luckily we get away with it. He did this against Benfica in 2018 as well. It seems he will never learn. Sell him (if we can) asap 2) The last chance of the game. A shocking touch by the one and only El Kaddouri virtually ruins a 4 against 2 counter attack. He somehow manages to get the ball back but then this means the attack is stalled. Crespo (why he is on that side of the pitch only God knows) delivers a poor cross. An absolute scramble in the box leads to Swiderski releasing a tame shot pretty much inside the 6-yard box and the keeper saving. We are terrible and I have no idea what the PAE are waiting for with regards to offloading players.

Watched the highlights of the 1st half. Looks like we started where we left off last week against the Cypriots with our defence all over the place El Kaddouri gifting the opposition.

Sell it all!

Κρέσπο αριστερό μπάκ, αϊ καλά!

Ας μην κοροϊδευόμαστε - κανείς δεν ενδιαφέρεται για το γυναικείο ποδόσφαιρο.

Are you referring to the GK?

Sure, but we also thought that Ivic wasn't good enough.

We aren't going to win the league and we are now out of Europe. I am sick and tired of seeing the same players not giving a $h!t. There should be a clearout this Winter so that we can use the rest of the season to mould a team that will compete next season. I am not even sure if we will be able to sell some of the players to be honest. Varela - Had an amazing season when we won the league then got a contract renewal and has been average ever since. I cannot believe we offered him a new 3-year contract when he was already 31 Paschalakis - Only interested in doing acrobatics and hairstyles Biseswar - Has not played a decent game since Ajax away last season. WHY DOES HE STILL GET GAME TIME? El Kaddouri - Can we please just ship him off to Italy? It really is about time Vieirinha - He is here to stay now until the end of the season but what a mess we made of it. He would have scored that penalty against Krasnodar. Instead he missed the entire pre-Season and is now going to pick up injuries. I will be surprised if he plays more than 10 games this season Wague - Taxi back to Barcelona? In fact I wonder what Barcelona were thinking when they signed him. I can only think he was part of a deal to get another favour (a favour to an agent). He isn't good enough for second division teams let alone Barca. Knowing our luck he will get released in a couple of years, sign for a team who we play against in Europe, have a blinder of a game and maybe even score against us Giannoulis, Tzolis, Zivkovic - One of these will be sold in January. I have a feeling it will be Giannoulis though we might also be saying goodbye to Tziolis. Zivko will definitely be gone at the end of the season. He is too good for us and definitely won't want to play in Europa Conference League Colak - If we had another striker he would be going out on loan somewhere. Had high hopes for this lad. Don't want to call him a flop just yet, however it certainly is looking like it IMO Biseswar, Wague, El Kaddouri and Giannoulis need to be sold (in Wague's case it will be terminated) in January. If we can sell Paschalakis as well that would amazing. We will need the cash to make up for all the times we have choked in the past 10 years.

We all wanted our wildest dreams to come true and now we got him. From what I have seen, he is completely out of depth. I am under the impression that he didn't watch the Krasnodar games as well as the home games against Omonia. That being said we need to give him some time. We can't keep changing managers every season. By the way - Ferreira has 7 wins out of his first 9 games including a semi final in the Brazilian cup and a quarter final in the Copa Libertadores. I am starting to think we are the problem.

Garcia is (unfortunately) out of his depth. Not that he is to blame for everything - the players should be ashamed of themselves.

Κάθε χρόνο τα ίδια και τα ίδια

And that’s the season over.

Thank God for Tzolis

He is terrible. Notice how they leave him all alone on that side because they know he won’t do anything.

Περιμένεις ενα εμβόλιο απο την Pfizer. Κατάλαβα. Πήγαινε αδερφέ σε κανα Βερολίνο ή Φρανκφούρτη να σωθείς. Δεν χρειάζονταί κάν τα Γερμανικά σ'αυτές τις πόλεις, με Αγγλικά μόνο βρίσκεις δουλειά. I just don't understand these people from Europe or Africa who come to the UK and complain non-stop about the country. If you don't like it you can just leave. Believe it or not you aren't a tree with roots. Even some French friends of mine insist on slating the UK every time we meet up. Their homeland is just across the water, if it's that bad why don't they just head back to paradise? Whether you like it or not mate, from the 1st of January we are (finally) free from the disaster that is called EU. Without a deal too, I hope.

I think this too.

He is an absolute see you next Tuesday.

Αφου γουστάρεις τόσο πολύ την ΕΕ γιατί δεν πας σε καμια Γερμανία ή Λουξεμβούργο να βρείς την υγεία σου; Arcadia has been in trouble for years now. You sound like the record player that companies are using. First it was "We are performing badly because of Brexit!". Now it is "We are performing badly because of the coronavirus!". These companies have been underperforming for years. Thomas Cook, Arcadia - both of these companies have been managed terribly. It has nothing to do with neither leaving a Bolshevik-like association nor a virus that is part of the bringing down small to medium enterprises.

He was joking of course. I can see him playing in the Premiership. He has the speed and brains.

Το γήπεδο είναι απαράδεκτο. Σε μια πάσα στρωτή η μπάλα αναπηδά 100 φορές. Διαιτησία οτι να'ναι, δεν αφήνει να εξελιχθεί το παιχνίδι. Βέβαια ούτως ή άλλως αυτό το ποδόσφαιρο δεν βλέπεται.

Just tuned in. Anybody know why Zivkovic was dropped? I thought we had finally moved on from Paschalakis.

Upon going to the cinema for the first time in the US I actually couldn't believe there was a tap for melted butter. The Europeans who arrived there all those years ago must have been confined by healthy-eating parents their whole lives before setting sail. This is definitely one of their ways of saying "F you" for all the times they weren't allowed to eat sweets and had to make do with potatoes and broccoli instead. PS. My girlfriend (who is from the US) made sweet potato casserole as part of our Thanksgiving meal this year. Brown sugar mixed in with sweet potato? Fair enough, I will give it a try. MARSHMALLOW MELTED ON TOP? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! IT'S OK, YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY SWEETS AS YOU LIKE NOW, YOU'RE FREE! STOP TRYING TO MAKE A POINT!

Let's just beat Omonia before we start talking about scenarios.

Of course he doesn't take the blame for going 2-0 up. He takes the blame for what he did after. Tsiggaras was completely lost after our second. Their midfield which was made up of tanks literally ran ours over. He should have been brought off at half time and replaced by Esiti who is a beast himself. Also, why did he play Crespo at wingback? Did he not see the games against Krasnodar?
