What a day for no streams to exist (so far). Tuning in to the radio now. Oh god please let us score three (which is what I bet on)

I would MUCH rather have Brandon start than Samatta. But Chalov should be the guy. It's so painfully obvious how much better he is than the others...

What a blessed day for rumors! https://inpaok.com/862273/omada-ton-play-off-tis-super-league-ekleise-dyo-paiktes-apo-ti-roumania/ https://www.transfermarkt.us/fc-hermannstadt/startseite/verein/58049 So basically a LW and LB. The Romanians very much play up their Lucescu connection, even though he has gone out of his way to s%$#! talk Romanian players. Those salaries look pretty unbelievable too. The other rumor: https://inpaok.com/862261/o-paok-parakolouthei-tin-periptosi-tou-alesantro-franko/ I have no idea who that is, and can't find any mention of him, like, anywhere. Are we being pranked?

COMIN' IN HAWT: https://inpaok.com/862076/kineitai-epithetika-gia-loutseskou-i-al-chilal/ Then: https://inpaok.com/862073/i-al-chilal-thelei-ton-loutseskou-kai-prosferei-mythiko-symvolaio/ Why would he move if he's getting paid the same amount? I'd think he'd take a pay cut to go to a better league, but I don't see a ton of appeal here, apart from maybe his past association with the kingdom.

Ohmygawd guys just kiss already https://inpaok.com/861967/olo-kai-pio-zestos-gia-pavlenka-o-paok/

Another rejection, coming in the same order in which the rumors started. Interesting. I don't think we usually see this. https://inpaok.com/861935/edose-neo-akyro-o-loutseskou/

Was thinking about this earlier. So if we lose and PAO wins: Oly 72 PAO 59 PAOK 55 AEK 53 If we lose and PAO draws: Oly 72 PAO 57 PAOK 55 AEK 54 And if we lose and AEK wins: Oly 72 PAO 56 AEK 56 PAOK 55 Basically, the result to avoid is two PAO wins, which is out of our hands at this point. An AEK win isn't ideal (we want a draw in that game), but it leaves 2nd place wide open. Below are the possible outcomes. The moral of the story is that we could easily finish anywhere from 2nd to 4th. Getting even a point from Olympiakos will help a lot. PAO 62, 60, 59, 58, 57, 56 <-- W+W, W+D, W+L, D+D L+D, L+L, respectively PAOK 61, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55 <-- W+W, W+D, W+L, D+D, L+D, L+L, respectively AEK 59, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53 <-- W+W, W+D, W+L, D+D, L+D, L+L, respectively

ZIDANE'S WAS A LOVE TAP!

Very perceptive! https://inpaok.com/861830/o-taison-pire-tin-fanela-tou-vieirinia-video/

So now that we've seen it twice, is the Meite-Camara midfield everything we were hoping for?

Yeah he couldn't get the actual shot off. We're doing "it" again - deciding to absorb pressure for the last 8 minutes of the game. This is a losing formula.

CHALOV OH MY GOD

2-0 for the Olympiakos game -edit- CT sux

Schwab and Chalov coming on for Taison and Thomas

Camara's goal was smooooooth

Buddy I still think we're getting 2nd place!

Wow that is a beautiful Michailidis goal

Lotta empty seats in the stands

Our three forwards are 100! -edit- can't math good

Good scoring record, but will note that 9 of his 28 goals were in three games, and another 4 were in this most recent one. They are also all against teams that are bottom of the barrel in his league. Not saying some people are wrong in suggesting we try to get him back - but he's racking up some easy goals against bad opposition. I wouldn't hate him replacing Brandon though (and Koulouris' poacher style might work well with Chalov's own build-up style).

Pena back to Sweden? I have some doubts, not because he seems unhappy - but because the Swedish tax system makes a second contract look very painful for him, financially. https://inpaok.com/861472/o-penia-skeftetai-tin-epistrofi-sti-malme/

And now an about-face: https://inpaok.com/861492/o-loutseskou-epelexe-na-synechisei-stin-touba/ Lots of time for things to change, of course.

Despodov apparently went to Bulgaria to get a shot for his toe. I wonder what's going on there.

Have had this in my watch later playlist for a while, just got around to watching it. Kind of interesting. But I think the guy who made it is vastly overstating how most football was played - very few teams have Messis, after all. Good points on the wingers and fullbacks, though.

Yeah, but that means PaokCT has to not be defeatist for 30 seconds, which is an impossible task
