A lad at the fan club said that he doesn't have his UEFA badge. Is this true?

If Pablo comes in then you need to give him all of this season and another two seasons minimum. It won't happen and he will change from hero to villain, with the orks asking for his head after 7 games.

Apparently he is heading to Palmeiras. Not sure what to believe.

Just saw the highlights of Porto v Olympiakos - their first goal shows why Bouchalakis shouldn't be anywhere near the NT.

A lad at the fan club who (apparently) has connections in the club. I probably should have added that in my post.

Απ'οτι κατάλαβα ο Ζαμπά δεν θα ξαναπαίξει στον ΠΑΟΚ. Του είπε ο Φερεϊρα οτι θέλει να παίξει ολόκληρη την πλευρά, αυτός είπε οχι και απο'κει και πέρα ο ΠΑΟΚ του κρέμασε το δελτίο. Δεν είμαστε μεγάλη ομάδα παίδες. Οτι θέλουν κάνουν οι παίκτες.

Άντε πάλι με την Μπενφίκα.

I am not denying his quality but he is 34. Now I think of it, the whole situation was badly handled. He should have been our left back against Krasnodar.

The Arabs did but he didn't accept their offer.

Vasco da Gama swooping in for Matos apparently. I would let him go.

Κατά την άποψή μου δεν έχουμε καμία τύχη.

Είδα το πρώτο ημίχρονο σπίτι και μετά πήγα στο σύνδεσμο. Μας έχουνε μάθει οι αντίπαλοι. Εμείς την κατοχή κι'αυτοί τις αντεπιθέσεις. Τι τον βάζει τον Μπίσεσβαρ;

Schwab and Murg in the middle?

They will be solid at the back and come out with counter attacks while our midfielders and defenders concede stupid fouls. You heard it here first.

A terrible result against a poor side. They had one chance the whole game and they scored from it. I am very concerned about Wague and I have no idea how he is a Barcelona player. That cross was the best thing Biseswar has done since Ajax last season. I have said it before and I'll say it again, he is a liability. We had a throw in with Swiderski all alone down the line but he took so long and decided to throw it into the middle to Schwab who lost it (thank God AEK were also not good enough to capitalise on our mistakes). He is flat footed and if he doesn't get the ball to feet then your money better be on the defender. Swiderski was unlucky at the end but he needed a better ball from Colak. I will very happy with second place this season.

Teams have worked out our game plan. They just sit back knowing that we will control the possession but be unable to finish chances, then break on the counter. Horrible refereeing today mind you.

He isn't on loan.

To the mods of the forum - you are being very selective on which posts are approved and which are deleted etc. Could there please be a review of this? It seems some people's free speech is more important than others.

Παίζει να την έφαγε μετά την συνέντευξη. Υγ. Τη μία σεζόν να παίζεις κόντρα στη Μπενφίκα στο ντα Λούζ και στη Τσέλσι στο Στάμφορντ Μπρίτζ και πλέον να παίζεις σε μια τεχνιτή ομάδα του Μπέου. What a waste!

You're probably right in that it's frustrating to see people only comment when things don't go our way. On the other hand there isn't much to take away from drawing against Kosovo. It means that you just aren't good enough. Actually if there is something to take away, it's for van't Schip to reconsider some of his choices. Bakasetas, Bouchalakis and Pavlidis for example.

I think I must have watched a different game. I saw a team that lacked any creativity, at times struggled to control the ball and couldn't finish for $h!t.

Most of these players are of an extremely poor standard. Bakasetas, Mantalos and Hatzidiakos were all awful. The quickes I saw the latter move was when he was subbed. A Fortounis who doesn't start for his club is still a much better choice than both Bakasetas and Mantalos who perhaps play every week. I have no idea what Tzavellas and Bouchalakis are doing in this team. They are both part of the clique of players who try and run things in the changing rooms. If I were van't Schip I would not call them up again. Aside from that, they aren't good players. The same goes for Pavlidis who couldn't score in a brothel. We don't seem to have a solid striker, however Fountas seems to be much more dangerous. I also have no idea why my fellow PAOK fans insist that Giannoulis is better than Tsimikas. Our guy plays one good game then three bad ones while making some shocking mistakes. No wonder we never received a serious bid for him in the end. I think the manager needs to be very careful moving forward. It looked to me as if some of those players didn't really care. That was the first game I watched in a while and I think it will also be a while until I watch the next one.

Μάνταλος, Μπακασέτας και Τζαβέλλας δεν έχουνε καμία δουλειά στην Εθνική μας ομάδα. Ειδικά ο τελευταίος!

^^ I agree that we need to be selling a number ten for more €1.6m but in order to become a "bigger" club we need to qualify for the groups. It makes no difference that we were on the verge. The fact is we didn't make it.

Antonis Stergiakis has signed for Blackburn Rovers from Slavia Sofia. Good move that!
