Ha ha.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think Alafouzos is going to deliver PAO to the promised land. But until a real contender shows themselves, it's all you have. I haven't seen any real evidence that anyone else is interested. And as for the V family, if they want it, come and take it! They could if they wanted to, there is no need to beg them or kiss their asses.

Why would the government step in and find investors ? And why would investors even be interested if the club isn't generating sufficient revenue to even be self supporting ?

He's getting plastic surgery done. I have credible sources, but I can't divulge them.

On a serious note, if Alafouzos left, is there anyone that would be interested ? Just curious.

He looks like one too.

Give it a few more weeks. The crescendo is only just building.

Any prizes for @kozi who predicted the correct result ?

PAOK, 2 steps forward 1 step back, or is it 1 step forward 2 steps back ? Anyhow ...

I really think Ivic should abandon playing 3 in the middle like he started today. It makes sense if you're happy with a point or you're playing a superior side, or you're trying to hold out a lead, but today I just don't see the sense in it. We lost one half of play for nothing.

That's what I'm talking about! Ha ha.

The only positive I can see is that our players are pressuring and pushing for the goal, unlike some games where it just fizzles out entirely. Still, nearly all the final passes have been poor.

Klaus should have been on 10 or 15 minutes earlier.

At least get Klaus in there. He might win a header with the 100 crosses we've done this game.

p****** get in.

Same with the stream. Although that's typical of most streams.

Damn Matos that was close.

Necessary at this point. Otherwise, Panionios will just choke the game and run down the clock. On a side note, Jairo scored his 1st goal for PAS Giannina yesterday.

He can't lead into the hole between the last defender and their DM ? Basic stuff. Control, layoff, turn, run forward. And when this happens the team especially the midfielders press forward. Maybe they don't practise that at training.

Even with 3 at the back, it should be enough. If we are that afraid of Panionios, forget it. I'd take Charisis off to deliberately create space in the middle. The question is who to put on. You have Rodrigues, Biseswar, Klaus. I'd even consider going 2 up front.

They should be pushing forward to help the attacks. It's too disjointed. They shouldn't be worrying about defending. That's what you've got Canas and the 4 at the back four. Charisis play has been sloppy as well. Koulouris! Does this kid know how to peel off his man or lead, shield, lay off ? Get into the play son.

Jesus, we need Matos to show the forwards how to dribble, make space and take a shot.

Yellow ? Matos got the ball.

Considering the history of Panionios, it's disappointing.

Good goal by Panionios but what are 3 defenders doing on the flank ? Put your foot in.
