Our next two games are vs Panathinaikos. Four points from that would go a long way towards bringing us to second place.

Wild how bad we ended this. A straight red for that? Get outta here!

Cousin Mitso knew a week ago that Olympiakos was gonna throw a game?!

I put some money on us winning, but if I were smart I would have put money on a hell of a lot of goals haha

What a goal! And I take credit for it because Chalov got the assist!

Looks like Kedziora and Despodov weren't on the bus. Should have the lineup in a few. Chalov needs to start, Razvan!

0-0 at halftime -edit- ends a draw (and us with ten men). 18 points, four clear of relegation. Three games to go I believe, a win against Diagoras will be very important

Where doth thou heare such scuttlebutte, sire? Verily, forsoothe, thy informacions may be of the 1st Aprile variety?

I think three points? Either way, I suppose not a terrible result considering those guys probably will win the group. Still have a game in hand too. Really need some actual wins though. Current standings (though Kavala has a better GD than we do): 1. Niki Volos 18 (5 games) 2. PAOK 'B' 17 (4 games) 3. Kavala 17 (5 games) 4. Diagoras Rhodos 14 (5 games) 5. Ethnikos Neo Keramidi 5 (5 games)

I'll let you keep posting that before games because it worked last time!

Panathinaikos has a great chance of losing as well. Still too early to be sure of that last position (esp since we still have to play them twice). Guess we'll see. Maybe more interesting: Olympiakos probably will rest more of their starters for their cup match vs AEK, I would assume. Does AEK do the same? If they see a lineup of 18 year olds, they may go for the gold after all.

Good to have a game in hand, but these are pretty important matches. Two wins would go a long way towards making it out of the play outs.

Apparently Ozdoyev had a renewal clause in his contract for next year, which he has already met the conditions of. If we have him for next year, then I really don't think we should move to re-sign Schwab again. We are in grave danger of repeating the same mistake we do every year. Apparently Samatta had a similar clause but obviously will not automatically trigger it. Unfortunately I am growing increasingly certain that the team will offer him a new contract regardless.

1.9 meters; are we sure he isn't bigfoot? What's his chest hair situation? Is there sufficient hamburger meat to cover the bun???

Yeah I'm a dumbass who can't scroll right. On the plus side, Ioannidis picked up two yellows today. Hopefully Swiderski cannot score. A shame he'll be rested and ready for our game.

They won't have to do all that much - if we beat Panathinaikos next week, and Olympiakos beats AEK, then we're most of the way there. Let's be honest - the only two teams that have any chance of gaining points for Greece next summer are PAOK and Oly. Panathinaikos and AEK exist to go out in the conference league group stages.

I am so embarrassed for you -edit- The other game is 3 minutes in and Olympiakos is already winning by 1

Not liking this lineup. My app is giving a weird one but is this what we're going to see? --schwab--camara-- --zivkovic--ozdoev--konstantelias-- --samatta-- Perhaps an attempt to flood the midfield at the expense of a true attacking threat? An absolute embarassment that Samatta keeps getting time. And where is Pena?

Greeks are afraid of weight training and it shows when they go to play in England

Wouldn't be much different than playing a back 3. Not that I think he'd do this, but some sort of variation of a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3

Bakasetas should take up his preferred profession of diving instructor. I hear there's an opening in that "Athens Riviera" redevelopment

It is just WILD to me that people were agonizing over who to play in midfield, to counter the Scots. Like, are you kidding me? Siopis and Mantalos? Were they hiding some deep well of skill all these years that we've never seen before? Get real; Zafeiris is looking great and can be the backbone of the team for years. Can't fall into the trap of not letting new people play, because when they're finally the vets, they will not have gained any experience with the team...

:: cries in PAOK language ::

So they offered 20 million, Savvidis said no, now they're anticipated to offer only 17 to start? https://inpaok.com/858363/i-benfika-tha-epanelthei-gia-konstantelia/ Tbh they probably have a few god players they can throw in as part of a swap + 17mm, just saying

We haven't been talking about this in here, but there's been buzz lately about our daddy Ivan possibly buying Rostov (the club, not the whole city, though who knows with an oligarch). https://inpaok.com/858374/savvidis-rostof-i-imerominia-pou-tha-krinei-an-yparchei-deal/ I know he used to have an involvement with that club, as their president. I am not sure how much more involved this proposed move will end up being, beyond the bailout. I'm sure we'll run afoul of some sort of ownership issue that will see us banned, though. Xanthi x 1000
