I would honestly prefer to play with no striker than have Athanasiadis up front. I cannot believe there were people who actually thought he would resurrect himself against Schalke tonight.

Glykos is the culprit for me. The first goal was bad enough (indeed the defenders reacted late) but why is he pushing the ball back into the box? The second goal everybody just watched, again Glykos watched the ball go into the net (literally). The third goal, I don't even know what to say. I am still a bit confused as to what happened. He tried punching it out but instead gifted it to Huntelaar? Awful game by most people. The one time we need the team to show up and they are invisible.

Παίξε καλα τον ΠΑΟΚ Ισπανέ.

He was not a bad coach. I was honestly disappointed when I saw him go. That said I wouldn't change how things are now. I am delighted with Ivic's work and to be quite frank he has managed to do what previous managers were not able to do.

It is going to be tough!

It's ok we are allowed to have an off day. Just as long as they make it count on Thursday.

I have been living in Italy for the past 5 months. A couple of weeks ago I went to Naples for four days so I had the chance to go to Pompeii. The weather was nice so it was perfect for having a tour. As much as I was impressed with what I saw, I think the more ancient sites I see the more I realise how indifferent we are today. The only things that have changed is technology and mentalities. We still just want to eat, drink and have sex.

Would it be worth trying to get them to come over? I think the problem is fanaticism. I mean even I used to troll the Aris forum on GS when I was in my teens. As we grow older I guess we become more mature and realise that it is just a sport and the players are just professionals doing their job. But I'll say one thing, I do like a bit of banter with fans of other teams. It is when the banter turns into insults that things get out of hand. I enjoy the non-football part of the forum just as much as the football. It's interesting to hear opinions and ideas from diaspora around the globe. As I said, it would be great if some of the posters who made GS worthwhile could somehow make it onto here. It's nice when everyone gets along.

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα!!!

What happened to all the members? Why didn't they come onto here? Are they aware of Phantis?

No, apparently there will be no PAOK fans on Sunday.

I heard no fans this time. Not sure how Thursday is different to Sunday. What a joke.

Agreed.

It is as if Ivic heard you Ziaka.

Do you know Boston_Thanatos personally?

Pash where are you actually situated right now?

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα!

Why Austria? Υγ. BlackHell και Serraios, μεγάλες προσωπικότητες!

Γεια σου Ντον! Ολα καλα στη Θεσσαλονίκη; Ναι τον Mad εννοώ. Τον γνώρισα τυχαία σε μια πάμπ εδω στο Μιλάνο. Είχα παει ενα Σάββατο να δω Πρέμιερ Λίγκ και ηταν ενας τύπος που φορούσε μπλούζα και σορτσάκι του ΠΑΟΚ. Πολύ άρρωστος όμως.

By the way, do you guys remembeer Dikefalomania, Mirmingi and Ayahouasca? Anybody know what happened to them?

Big career move. I bet he is happy he made the choice of heading to Piraeus. Then again come to think of it I don't think Ivic would have him in the squad anyway if he was still here. I saw the other runaway Katsikas signed for Ebsjerg in Denmark in January as well.

Thanks man!

It would be great if he joined our little group again. He has a f"cked up sense of humour just like mine. Memes come to mind.

I can see the San Siro from my bedroom window as I type this. Did you go to southern Italy while you were here? You need to go to Naples and Sicily mate. Naples especially, what an amazing city. It was like being in Greece, Thessaloniki to be more precise.
