I once read Apoel's budget in 2011-12 when they went on that great run in the CL and it wasn't that big at all. This is my point, they aren't in CL as much as Oly is yet they did that.

Reaper do you think in all the years Oly has been in CL 1 time in 1/4 finals is good enough? Personally if I was a fan it wouldn't be sufficient.

Who cares about the budgets we all know what Bayern has and is about. Not once have I heard the budgets be brought up until now, never heard any other team fans bring this up either who are in CL......

Has the online shop opened yet? If so can someone put the link up

Oly after all the years of CL they should've atleast once gone to semi finals and they haven't. Has Oly made the 1/4 finals of CL? As for Europa that's not an easy comp also but Oly should atleast be making semis there and again they havent.

Oly fans used this budget this as an excuse when Bayern beat them now they use it when they beat Arsenal lol

So Reaper you are happy beating them but not going through in your group? Personally that wouldn't make me happy as a fan.

Beating all those European teams mentioned above doesn't mean much when you don't go through in your group or atleast make a run to the semi finals of CL and Oly has had many attempts to do this and have failed each time. If you are content with beating juve & atletico and not going through in your group then that's a small mentality. As for united Oly beat them yet got knocked out in the reverse fixture. If Greek Football teams want to make a statement they need to be constantly going through in the group stages and at the least making 1/4 finals in CL. As for the corruption we all know it goes on and whatever we say or think we cant change it, plain and simple, all I can hope for is my team goes out there each week plays football gets the results and hopefully put up a fight for the title and get a CL spot.

This will be a huge test for us, Oly are making things look easy at the moment and no matter how much hate you have for them credit where its due. As for us Dellas will need to get everything right in this game for us starting with the line up. Simeos will no doubt start I cant see Dellas having one holding midfielder to contain Oly. He will somewhat have a defensive mindset to this game and having both of them (Johanssen & Simeos) there will help the team a lot and will hopefully not give Fortounis room as he is quality and is showing it. We missed Simeos in the Atromitos game and it showed. I would go with Dikefale's line up above but will have Diego starting 100% in this match as our pace on the wings is what can hurt Oly especially on the break. Oly are great going forward but with most Greek teams their defence can be suspect at times and we need to exploit this anytime we can. Cant wait for this game!!!

The only player I don't think he should've benched was Kolovetsios, other than that squad rotation isn't a bad thing. AEK dominated the game if we didn't then you could question all the things that have been said. Diego doesn't have to start each game, you always need someone off the bench to be a game changer. I watched the game and we were all over them just couldn't score. Our defence at times can be questionable but we didn't concede and that's all that matters. Big game in 2 weeks against the gavri, they are on fire also so it will be a great test for us and I am sure Dellas will have them fired up for it as he did in the kypello.

We need a striker what we have just doesn't cut it unless Djebbour comes back and starts firing. I would like to see what Brecevic can offer but cant see him coming back anytime soon either

I wish AEK were smart and made a play for Berg, he is exactly what we need to be a real threat in the league

Pana I don't think he or anyone will care if his reputation is tarnished, we all (well except the delusional) know the truth and some mates of mine here have said it only puts doubt on their titles, but doubts aren't enough, action needs to be taken if Football in Greece wants to go anywhere.

Seems we always have these issues with injuries. I don't mind Soiledis he isn't that bad but can get caught out at times. Lets just hope we go out there and hammer them as if results go our way this weekend we can close the gap at the top before the tough games come up.

Sorry Accor I just don't hold hope for the Greek justice & courts. Happy for them to prove me and many others wrong though and I will be the first to congratulate them

They can have 18 players say it and still nothing would happen.

I said last season that we couldn't rely on Aravidis up top all season, yes he got a lot of goals last season in 2nd divison but this is a different ball game now and we need a clinical striker there. Aravidis is more of a poacher in my eyes. Any news on Brecevic? I would like to see what he can do if he gets fit. As for Johanssen i don't buy the tired part, the guy played in Sweden and had CL commitments also so I am sure he knows how to handle himself.

Wenger has never had to answer to anyone that's the problem, they used excuses such as we are building, we are paying the stadium, we need to be within FFP and the fans never said a word and now that they are starting to wake up slowly he doesn't feel the need to answer to them as he has never done that in the past. How does Wenger think buying a keeper only would get him the EPL title when it was obvious last season they lacked in a few areas one being up front. If he thinks Giroud can take them to a title he is very wrong

Accor I hope you are right but the way this has gone on it seems like there is a heap of evidence but no one ballsy enough to do what's needed.

Only problem with Arsenal in March is they have given others a head start and play catch up each season. Arsenal need to start and finish strong to be a genuine contender and this is where they lack pretty much every season. As for CL they wont be winning that anytime soon

Wenger f*cked up by not playing 3 of his defenders and also not starting Cech, big slap in the face to him. Oly went there with a plan and got the job done, luck or not they walked away with 3 points which is what matters in the end

Pana surely they new he was injured before they signed him and they still took the risk, bad management with this one in my opinion, this money could've been spent wiser elsewhere

My thoughts exactly, they can have all the evidence in the world but without balls and action nothing will ever be done.

What a joke his signature has become for PAO
