Sounds like Vida will miss the first game. Out for three weeks.

Big fan of that guy's first name!

As the commentator said, the pair of the game were Konstantelias and their goalie. Obviously we'll now more to acquire that guy. Perhaps PAOK can sell a service to GKs to make them look like absolute gods right before a transfer window? They do seem to play out of their minds when they come up against us.

Very harsh second yellow for my namesake...

Mildly amusing, but this does remind me - didn't we have a season a while back where a right-back was our top scorer for most of the year? I wanted to say maybe it was Giannis Skondras, but transfermarkt says he only scored twice for us. https://inpaok.com/845648/o-baba-apektise-sygkatoiko/ I know the obvious choice is to say Matos, but I think his goal scoring was overshadowed by you-know-who for most of his time with us.

This one hurts 😭 https://inpaok.com/845480/sygkinitiko-antio-tou-mystakidi-sto-podosfairo/ Ahhh what might have been!

^ there he is! Such a shame that we didn't bring more youth players here for this. Annoyed I missed most of the Kottas minutes. Does this game prove that Tissoudali should be played as a winger?

Katsouranis will be in his element

Missed the first 25 minutes of the second half because I was receiving my year-end review. Don't worry Blackhawk, I am not fired. But pretty upset I saw Tissoudali rise from the ashes -edit- pretty upset I didn't see him rise from the ashes. I would never wish ill of daddy Tarik!

Aren't Murg, Konstantelias, Thomas, and Chalov all on the bench? Feels like we have plenty of options there.

Hahahaha it's so easy for teams to score on us -edit- scorer has an absolutely FANTASTIC first name. Should have been a monk: https://www.transfermarkt.us/ierotheos-dritsas/profil/spieler/905209

Tissoudali with a fully alive baby at his feet!

Love our little baby boy!

I will drop kick a baby if Samatta starts. He shouldn't even be in the same country at this point. Otherwise, my lineup is basically yours. Not really concerned with who gets the start at CF - I can see a good reason for any of those guys to play. Would like to see Kottas get some time as a sub, though. We are desperately in need of more Greek players in the first team. Maybe he'll earn an elevation for next season.

We basically need two wins out of these last three games to get to the play offs. Definitely possibly, but we'll also probably get smoked if we DO make it to the play offs. Europa League competition is much, much harder than Conference League - imagine the massacre if we had made it to the Champions League!

Those last few minutes, I was absolutely certain they'd score on us. Honestly we were much better than them for most of the match. But yet again, we lost confidence in those last 15 minutes. A shame.

Karetsas wants us as badly as Diddy wants to party

Here's the lineup: I was so close it hurts!

I guess some storm action went down overnight. Here's a link to PAOK Today:

He'll get straight into the senior setup once PAOK buys him (after selling Konstantelias, of course) and he scores 30 goals in a season for us.

Surely Despodov starts on the right. I'm guessing Taison is doubtful for this weekend. Michailidis had some minor sprain (which is why he came off yesterday), so probably won't be risked either. Here's my guess: --Kotarski-- --Sastre--Colley--Lovren--Baba-- --Ozdoev--Schwab-- --Despodov--Murg--Konstantelias-- --Chalov--

Ahh our traditional game that takes place on the US's Thanksgiving holiday. Thank goodness Paramount+ has the match replays. Anyway - the result was the expected one, which is good. For once we managed an early goal, which obviously helped a lot. I don't think we were pushed all that hard, to be honest. Very, very happy Chalov scored - and his scream as he celebrated was great to see. This guy wants it, for sure.

Huh! The more you know. The competition to brew the crappiest beer now has a new home.

Fan accounts are saying that Jonny Otto has agreed terms with the club for an extension through the 2025-26 season. Not seeing this on the sites yet, but I can believe it.

I feel like each time you wish for the win and three points before the game, they don't win. So I like the idea of you saying something after, instead!
