It seems to be a common theme that we struggle to score but concede goals so easily. Who is this Kakko kid ?

Ha ha the corner count.

Truly they are a terrible team. Considering their fan base they deserve a lot better than the crap McClaren dishes up but then again they haven't been competitive since Asprilla played.

Isn't it a bit too early in the morning for this ?

To be fair we have Antonis (22) Pelkas (22) and Mystakidis (21) up front. All young so I expect as much. I'd rather them than Klaus and Berbatov.

They're criticising your boy pash ...

That's the thing. If you're resigned to the fact that Kace will be sold, you would want to keep him reasonably match fit so that you can maximise his sale price. Not necessarily play him all the time, but play him at least semi regularly. Who will want to buy him in the summer when he hasn't been playing first team football for 9 or so months ? Maybe he'll have a good Euro 2016 ...

Thanks for the link pash. Maybe in the year 2050 we might get to watch games without having to jump through burning hoops. Boston, no idea why they aren't playing Kace. It's getting a bit silly now.

Radio link at least ?

Mangia klania. The reaction is pure Greek village mentality. Do we really expect Savvidis or anyone to follow through ? The usual will happen. Points deductions, fines, game bans. Maybe they'll deduct points from our play-offs initial value like previously. I did enjoy that particular knife in the back.

Now that would be some spectacle. Far superior to not sending your team. And the reason is ....... it would be on the media all around the world.

Penalties that aren't penalties are given all the time. Penalties that are penalties fail to be given all the time. You can't just say I'm taking my team and not playing because we don't like the refereeing. If everyone did that, there would be no league left. Go Savvidis, go be the sacrificial lamb. Problem is now, he's spoken rashly in the heat of the moment and will look silly either way. He's cornered himself.

If Savvidis want to be really cynical (or clever) and assuming he truly knows the refereeing is corrupt but just can't quite prove it, his best course of action is to find 100 of the biggest prezonia PAOK has to offer (now that would be an interesting competition since I'm sure we have many suitable candidates) and pay them to be fake Olympiakos supporters in Athens. Get them to make trouble and get the game abandoned in Athens. Go on Savvidis, have a go ya mug!

I don't believe for a second (just my opinion) that Meli or Alafouzos would go in to bat for Savvidis or vice versa. He'll make a stand ... which is what exactly ? Is he claiming the referee is/was bribed ? You need to prove such claims, you can't just make them. I'm not saying the referee is clean, I'm saying show me he isn't because until it's specifically and definitively proven it's all just kafeneio talk and the only one that will suffer now is PAOK as a team. Do I think Meli cares about what happened today ? I think he's happy that PAOK will get points deductions. Call me cynical.

So what is the precedent here ? Any time we're not happy with things we won't take our team to the game ? We'll take our bat and ball so to speak .... Don't get me wrong, I get where Savvidis is coming from, but is anyone going to back him ? Bananas mate!! AEK and PAO will be nudging him say "go fight the gorilla" and when he gets bashed and needs help they won't do jack. Savvidis, look after your club. Get rid of the hooligans if you can. If not, it'll be the same old ad infinitum. As for the referee, go get proof or shut the F*** up.

-50 points and Asteras into the play-offs.

Wow, just got up and went to check the score. Sounds like it was another fun night in Toumba. Wah wah wah.

I guess so. Either way it would need to generate additional revenue.

Not sure what is going on with Skondras. He was very solid last season. As to the 11 you posted Blackhawk, I actually prefer this line up to having Tziolis, Berbatov and Klaus none of whom are work horses. If we're going to have any chance of a result against Olympiakos we're going to have to run.

What's the impetus for a new stadium anyway ? If you take say Arsenal as an example, they needed more capacity so they could generate more revenue. But even if we had a new stadium it's not like we would suddenly have it full for each game. Sure it'd look pretty, but I don't see how it would improve the bottom line. As to how to build it, the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) was a roughly 100,000 seat stadium and they did it in two stages I believe. Basically knocked down one half of the stadium, rebuilt it and then did the other half. Of course, this is Greece we're talking about so I don't even know why I'm mentioning this. For anyone wondering what cricket is, it's a game that is played over 5 days and can still end up in a draw.
