Bananas

Ha ha, that kefala of his always made me think he looks like a peponi.

Next time I read these forums I'll make sure not to he chewing food. I read this and the food I was chewing ended up on my monitor.

The way we are playing, we better be careful we don't qualify for the group stage of the EL. If we fail to qualify, Stajonevic will be gone and the manager band wagon will begin yet again.

Unusual that they wouldn't allow for it to be televised or at the very least on radio given it's just a friendly match.

What are you talking about ?! I thought PAOK controls EPO ? I mean, I've read on many reputable ... ahem ... forums ... ahem ... that EPO is basically an instrument that Savvidis controls like a puppet master. Oh no, the world doesn't make sense anymore.

We'll still lose to you guys in Athens. You can bank on that one, ha ha.

I think that this season is the first time during the "reign" of Savvidis that we are entitled to ... maybe (and I mean maybe) even think about the possibility of challenging for the title. All the previous seasons any talk of winning the title was just that, talk. There are too many variables at this stage. Will the home games with no fans have an affect ? You'd think there'd have to be something. So I'll take -3 points off just there. Will Olympiakos be as poor as they were in the second half of last season ? I don't think it's a coincidence that once Milivojevic left their performances dropped. Milivojevic was a gun. Will the players adapt to Stanojevic's tactics ? Or will he become a Tudor version 2 ? Will our new goalkeeper be any good ? Will Prijovic stay fit ? If he plays a full season it'll make all the difference. We don't really have a backup striker (no offence Klaus). Depth wise we're looking ... all right. Plenty of options up front as long as Prijovic stays fit. The other 3 attacking roles will be split up between Mak, Djalma, Henrique, Jairo, Pelkas, Mystakidis, Klaus, Biseswar. In the middle we have Canas, Shakhov, Cimirot and Kace. Good enough I suppose. In the back line, I still think we're lacking depth. An injury to Matos or Crespo and all of a sudden the defence looks a lot weaker. Not sold on Leveque, time will tell. In the right back position we loaned out Kitsiou, no idea why. Apparently Konstantinidis is going to be the backup to Matos but now the manager isn't so sure. I think we need to sort out that right back position to keep Matos as fresh as possible this season. The CB position is a bit flaky also. There is talk of Malezas leaving, then he's staying, who the hell knows. His performances last season were good overall but at times he got exposed. I'd like another CB Crespo quality to feel good about the back line.

Ha ha, some "hard core" Republicans are voting against it because it's not harsh enough. How are human beings (can you even call them that ?) like this even made ?

Final score Gent 2 - PAOK 0.

And that's the second goal for Gent in the 86th.

Oh Crespo, get it on target. -- edit -- He's been given the captain's armband and now he's shooting like Klaus.

I'd have given them water from Flint to drink. Fix 'em right up. Nothing like a bit of lead to get you going. -- edit -- I should try and stick to sporting commentary but this game is kind of dull.

Drink break ? What drink break! Run you dogs.

It will cost Mak 6 million to get that number from Warda™, ha ha.

Aye aye.

Ha ha, according to transfermarket, Varela is injured and due to return June 10, 2020.

Is that a fashion statement by Leveque or due to the injury he got in the last match ? Maybe both ?!

Stanojevic is definitely trying out the some formations, that's for sure. I've always thought 4-2-3-1 is the most "balanced" system personally, but it's good (and necessary) for players to be able to adapt, especially so when you're playing stronger or weaker teams, or even derbies. 3-4-3 is a bit extreme though.

Ochoa mught be better but the salary was almost obscene. I prefer Rey ... even though I haven't seen him, ha ha. You know, at 1.8 million I think he'll be our most expensive signing ever. I hope he's worth it. Anyway, let's see if it actually happens first.

Half time ?

I was gonna say, he's far from repealing Obamacare. You know ... his personality and style of presidency ... lot's of talk and hot air, he'd be perfect for Greece. Fit right in me thinks.

I'm still of the opinion that if he is going to do truly serious damage, his own party will do a Caesar on him. For the moment, he's excelling in embarrassing himself. Incidentally, because I don't follow U.S. politics closely enough, what has Trump done in terms of actual meaningful legislation and policy ?

Hell yeah!
