Original Sydney

Different competitions or not those teams back then made it far in Europe, Oly was around back then also weren't they? They couldn't achieve what PAO and AEK achieved. Oly has done better in recent times, but considering they've been in CL for 20 season straight and the furthest they've gone is 1/4 finals, aint much to brag about.....

PAO has made a CL final and 2 semis, AEK made the semis of UEFA Cup, come talk to us when you achieve something similar as you've had more attempts than anyone else yet cant get to where our clubs got to.

Love the pania lol I saw the Benfica fans had a banner for PAO over the weekend also

Let's hope its true and it happens, the guy is F***en sh*t Dellas new something by never playing him.

Apparently Gremio asked for Diego and we said $1.5 mill for him, the Chinese who are after Arzo were told to cough up $700k

Hope Arsenal don't win it in all honesty lol but if they do they'll win it by default since other teams are in turmoil. Interesting few weeks coming up!!

All I got to say is this: You cant lift the hope of your fan base and have a saying "ERXOMASTE" and you don't spend, only make yourself look a fool.

He has always been arrogant and selfish throughout his career. But I honestly expected him to do much better playing in Greece, ffs someone with his talent should be blowing defenders and teams away.....

Overall it was a poor game for a derby, anyone could've won it but there weren't too many massive chances during the game. We just held on at the end. Berba doesn't want to be there which is a shame as I think with effort he could've done a hell of a lot better in this poor league.

Its an EPL mentality he is using, im not against it but make sure you do it at the right time when you have the game wrapped up before you shut up shop, if it was 2-0 no problems but the game was in the balance and anyone could've won it. With Arzo there how can we expect to sit back and contain a lead, if we have a real leader at the back who control actually command and lead the team around no problems but we are doing things without the personnel required. Anyway we got the win and that's all that mattered today

But that's the thing Original, you want to put an attacking player on to have them on the back foot in the last 20 mins, we are playing at home also we shouldn't sit back and try contain a 1-0 lead, just get the ball to him and let him do his thing, we invited them in the last 20 and it got worse for us when they went down to 10 men. Thankfully we got the 3 points but the last 5 mins were heart attack stuff.

Latest name to be thrown is Tomas Pekhart who plays in Germany for Ingolstadt, average scoring record but he is a big boy plenty of height to offer. Do they realise the window closes in 6 days time?

I don't think they will win it but you certainly cant write them off since Arsenal & City still have other comps to play for, the other tram no one is talking about is Spurs, they are quietly going along and no one is taking note.

They got a tricky next 3 games coming up so this will be a huge test for them, but they are 10 points ahead of 5th so if they get 4-6 points form the 9 coming up they are in a top position. I really really cant see United catching them or beating them to 4th, we are in shambles with this LVG c***

In all honesty I think Savvidis is a good owner and good for the Greek League seems his downfall is he is too nice, in this league you need have to be a c*nt also to get things done.

We have ALL been waiting for Leicester to fall off the pace from nov and dec and its end of Jan and they are still there, are they genuine contenders now? Definite top 4?

Arzo is rubbish I gave him benefit of the doubt but he is heart attack material. We have a decent young side with some real talent, but we need some leaders especially at the back. Kolovetsios is a solid defender but he needs a leader around him. In the middle I feel we are strong and have plenty of options. A striker is what we also need big time. You would hope if we get to Europe they will spend a few million and also give Oly some real competition next seaon because I cant see anyone else giving Oly a run anytime soon.

Who knows what Poyet is thinking, but even Platelass the guys full of pace and running throw him on with 20 to go and let him run at them. He tries closing out games with 15 to go and it almost backfired on him. He persists with Arzo who is rubbish and almost killed us today, throw Lambropoulos in there if you don't want to play Tzane. We are grinding out results when we could be a little more positive and go for the kill and get that 2nd goal. The team overall is going well for first year back but there are a few things we can change to help us get the result more convincingly.

Reaper I like Aravidis and he will give 150% on the pitch with his work rate, but you cant put him on the wing in the last 20 when PAOK is going to come at you and expect him to run more, its semi suicide. Throw Bakakis on instead who will run all day long as example. Poyet is the same at times, he also leaves his subs late, why put Diego on with 1 minute to go? You may aswell not put him on and before anyone says he may have been running the clock down Poyet made a double sub at that moment. Throw Diego on and let him run at them in the last 20 mins. Maybe he as saving Diego for the kypello who knows, but I feel he should be given more game time, the guys got 10 goals from hardly playing, imagine he started more often.

Personally I think Sa is exactly what we need, he can score goals and is an out and out striker, Aravidis misses too many chances and Djebbour is a good option off the bench, Hopefully they go for a CB they said they would after this match so we shall see what they do. We need atleast 2 new faces in the team, but with the way we are going and opening up a lead from the rest management may think we don't need anyone new.

Ok where to start, vital 3 points and good to get a derby win to open up a gap on the rest Arzo need to be F***ed off RIGHT AWAY and surely Poyet sees this and I hope they keep to their word and go for a CB now as they said they would after this game. Simeos is an animal, said it from day 1, he is the Gattuso style player, runs all day and wins tackles all over the pitch, real work horse and a big addition to our team. We missed a few chances and they did also, but overall it was a scrappy derby which could've been won by either side, they missed some sitters at the end with all those corners, which I may add came from an Arzo m*****a when he took 15 secs to decide what to do with the ball before he kicked it out for a corner. Their wingers were the only ones that would hurt us but we did well to contain them. I felt that Diego should've come on a little earlier and be allowed to run at them. One sub I didn't like was when he took off Vargas and put Djebbour upfront and Aravidis on the wing, Aravidis ran his ass off all game then you put him to wing to do more running? Just doesn't make sense to me. We move onto Thursday now and a big match with Iraklis in the kypello, we need a good lead to take up north for the 2nd leg.

Sa will do well if he does come, his scoring record isn't too bad for a striker and we create plenty of chances in matches but don't score all of them, hopefully with him up there things will change for the better.

Saw the PAO fans are now outside parliament protesting the closure of the gates, a protest wont do much though

Wow we actually made an offer for someone and big money too lol Lets hope we get Sa and also Vadilo would be good, iv heard good things about him and he has plenty of pace to burn on the wings for us

Seems like they are going for Sa which I am all for as it gives us another striker who can score goals. Lets hope they get him. Hope they don't get Ukra, s%$#! record for me. Guessing they are going for a winger too but take your pick with all the names dropped. They also said after the PAOK match they'll be going for a CB. Do you think they know the window closes in 10 days time lol?
