Here are the players who will be available to Ivic: Γλύκος, Μπρκιτς, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Μαλεζάς, Κίτσιου, Μάτος, Λέοβατς, Τσίμιροτ, Κάνιας, Σάκχοφ, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μυστακίδης, Ροντρίγκες, Τζάλμα, Αθανασιάδης, Κουλούρης No Thiam or Pereyra. I don't think the lineup is going to change from the last match.

"Fair distribution." Wow.

There's been an explosion at Besiktas' stadium. Happened during this broadcast. Twenty injured so far.

Very positive sounding. I'm surprised he seems to want to stay ;)

They didn't mention names, but lookit those other teams also scouting... http://inpaok.com/330579

Olympiakos seems to have sacked Bento. I can only hope this leads to mass confusion and anarchy in their side.

There are no restrictions on who you might be drawn against from the round of 16 onwards.

If Korovesis is to be loaned (which would be a great move), then even better (and in that case, obviously don't play him). Pelkas could use more game time, after all.

I feel this game needs to be used to shake the rust off of some of our dudes, and not throw in only completely fringe players. --Brkic-- --Kitsiou--Varela--Malezas--Giannoulis-- --Charisis--Shakhov-- --Mistakidis--Biseswar--Korovesis-- --Klaus-- Klaus, Mistakidis, Shakhov, Charisis are all way too shaky for my liking. Which could make using them all together into a recipe for disaster. But they *should* have what it takes to beat this team.

It's all I could see, both during the game and while watching the video.

Weird, I thought I had pulled the updated one. D'oh.

Still, gained a few points on Romania.

I like the idea of Savvidis doing random drive-by huggings: http://www.sdna.gr/podosfairo/europa-league/article/273070/i-agkalia-toy-ivan-savvidi-ston-pelka-vid Interview? What interview?

I like that they call him a STAR in that article, but I'm kind of left scratching my head over the speed comments. Sokratis is pretty quick, especially for a big dude.

There are plenty of teams here we can beat. Just have to cross our fingers, I guess. My choices: Preferred: Copenhagen/APOEL/Osmanlispor/Genk/Sparta Prague Can possibly swing it: Tottenham/Lyon/Besiktas/Ajax Death - the rest of them

Just switched to the other match, it is now over as well. We're through guys!!

And that's the game!

Every time Campos defends, I am so sure we'll get scored on. Pull the striker back and let him roam up front instead, he's completely useless defensively.

Dutch Eagle is an inveterate liar and you know it!

Malezas in for Leovac. Guessing Crespo will move to fullback.

Shakhov coming on for Pelkas. Malezas getting ready to come on.

Pelkas the third of our players today to get a ball straight to the face.

One more goal and I think SL's going to fall apart. They look demoralized.

Klaus off, Koulouris on

Great save by Glykos on that, heart stopping stuff
