How does he keep getting jobs?? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cvg87wlv7lmo Love being the "among others."

Yeah I see no reason to tank (and you won't have to as AEK is before that game). I am more worried that we won't be at our best for that one.

Seems Pelkas, Konstantelias, Despodov, and Ivanusec are all "undergoing treatment." Does this mean we play three central mids? Zafeiris/Meite/Ozdoyev(or Camara)? This game would be more important than the Celta one, but it really sucks that may be leaving ourselves gassed for that match.

OFI - who finished the game with ten men - will be our opponent in the final.

GIAKOUMAKIS!

Would like to see a goal or five (by us)...not loving this 0-0 so far.

Pelkas coming off...

Thanks...I hate it! https://inpaok.com/892806/tvente-alkmaar-kai-alloi-gia-soretire/

Can anyone explain to me the logic of...when you have one minute left to play and you need to score...why you'd then spend the next two minutes arguing and trying NOT to play? What a WONDERFUL end to that stupid game.

Did Pelkas get fully knocked out there? Needs to be subbed

Balde may be on the bench but I have a feeeeling 😏

Would be just like us to lose this kid https://inpaok.com/892395/o-ten-chagk-stin-exedra-gia-ton-soretire-tou-paok/ Looking at his stats this season - something seems to have clicked for him in January, where he has scored four goals (two of which were vs AZ Alkmaar). https://www.transfermarkt.us/shola-shoretire/leistungsdaten/spieler/640026

One more from me, this time the confirmation video for Dutch Eagle's new favorite player (since he loves Ajax so much, right?):

Plenty of reason to doubt this (and I've avoided posting it for a few days but now I'm bored), but: https://www.transfermarkt.com/krepin-diatta/profil/spieler/490426 Good age, know very little about him otherwise. Not loving how we only get linked to right wingers though! Bet he'll go to Turkey, if he leaves Monaco.

Ahh, Raheem Sterling, a player famous for not stirring s%$#! over his extreme wage demands. We surely have a great chance at both hiring him and keeping him satisfied! This is the first I've heard about such a rumor, but going by what Blackhawk wrote - this doesn't necessarily mean we're going for a free agent, right? Could be anyone. Lots of opportunity for underperformance!

I AM HOPING WE'LL FIND SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY RETIRED! Excellent that we are sending out that keeper. Play the kids!

Hah, after watching the highlights...I don't think he even got touched tbh

While we can certainly still lose, I think this game showed we are much better than Panathinaikos. Zero reason we can't make it to the final. -edit- that other game ended 1-1, with both teams down to ten men. Lodygin will miss the next game for Levadeiakos, while Nuss (LW) will miss it for OFI. OFI seems to be grabbing an almost comical number of cards in the knockouts this year.

Someone (Swiderski?) also got a card as the game ended, but of course the broadcast had to put a big graphic about the second leg up while it happened.

Chatsidis really "chewing the scenery" on the ground over there. This will probably go another two or three minutes over

Giakoumakis rightfully beating himself up over that bad positioning...

I was just thinking...what happens if our only youth player on the field gets a red card or is injured? Presumably replaced by another kid...but what happens if this occurs after the last sub?

Just yelled at a coworker for distracting me from the moment before the foul to the moment after he scored. Perfectly obnoxious timing. Soon I'll be in the soup line.

By MY standards, he should have been arrested!

MYTHOU!
