Ben with a full-body spasm / dive, wonderfully done

Ahhh Biseswar with a great headed attempt, just slightly out

Wow nice chance for Pelkas just now. Panionios can't stay upright.

He's also probably exhausted, and will need to be fresh for the next two games. Though since we're less than 20 minutes from the end of the game, the damage is probably done at this point.

Kace warming up, I'd assume Ivic is planning on him coming in for Cimirot

Pelkas coming in for Campos

Not surprising, Ben's probably their best player...

Looks like we're up, own goal by Risvanis?

Are the aklautoi links working for anyone?

Wow, Poungouras gets the start

I agree that Pelkas isn't a winger. I also think Mistakidis is better centrally, but judging by a few of the interviews I saw this year, he considers himself to be a winger, so I won't try to push the point (and just be happy that he is so versatile). I will disagree with your comment on Biseswar's pace, though ;) Since Henrique seems more comfortable on the right, it seems we still don't have a "natural" left winger. As said above, Biseswar can do it, as can Pelkas, but all three of our AMs are clearly better up the middle (and I'm including Warda in that number).

Pelkas will serve his suspension vs Panathinaikos. Chances are we'll have already won the playoffs by then.

Something tells me they still want another guy there. InPAOK did say in their own article that we don't actually want him because he's not worth the price and is temperamental...but then again, they were the ones talking him up a few months ago. Who knows. I just hope we find a good complimentary CF for Prijovic, make a few bucks off of whoever we sell, and proceed with qualifying for the CL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pelkas starts over Biseswar. If he doesn't, I can't see Diego staying on after half. The guy doesn't react well to a game every three days. I'm also sure Panionios' backup goalie will have the game of his life vs us. They usually do.

16-year-old Giorgos Theoharis will be trying out for our K20 squad for next season. Apparently he's already 6 foot 2 (1.92 meters). Ivic loves tall people, maybe he's convinced Garcia to join in that love.

Shakhov has also officially received his call-up, Ukraine will be playing vs Malta (a friendly) and Latvia (a WC qualifier). He'll be staying in Thessaloniki until the end of the play-offs.

It seems we're still very interested in Leonardo. His buy-out clause is 2.5mm, and he's the highest paid player in Serbia (510k/year). Sounds like someone we could easily afford, assuming he doesn't get snatched by someone in a better league. From what I saw of him before, he looks real good, and plays in a position that I think we still need help in - left wing. Make it happen, Michel.

A subscriber-based 'PAOK TV' would be perfect for me. I can live without the "mega mouuuuu" promos.

Surely Henrique and Crespo will be starting this one, especially with us so depleted by cards and injuries. Fortunately this is a game where we'll need to attack, which will make Henrique even more useful.

Some Turkish publication is pushing the idea that we requested a trade between Rodrigues and Kace. Bizarre and obviously a load of BS. Also not sure how this would square away their debts - it's not like they wouldn't still owe us money for *someone*.

I think he needs a change of scenery. I still believe he should have gotten a call-up at the last world cup, since he was scoring goals while Mitroglou was getting his foot healed by magic cheeses.

Klaus has all the skill he needs to be the best striker in Greece, but has seemingly none of the mentality. His confidence has been completely shattered, for a long long time. He's played plenty of games, just isn't scoring. With Prijovic having such an easy time of it, I can't see us keeping him this summer.

Halftime for PanathinAEKos, still scoreless

A very important win. Assuming the last game's abandonment counts as a win for us, the table is: PAOK 8 Panionios 4 AEK 3 (game still to be played) PAO 2 (game still to be played) A second win vs Panionios will be vital.

Hahaha I have NEVER seen Biseswar run like that. Holy s%$#!. Should have passed to Koulouris though.
