Definitely not let down by this post

Wait for it...

You can tell how upset Ref Sheriff is by how many question marks he adds to his posts. SOMEONE GET THE MAN SOME ANSWERS, STAT!

Haha u mad bro?

If we play to draw, we'll lose

I'm reading that we've just agreedon terms for Shakhov from Dnipro. Three years. http://www.transfermarkt.com/evgen-shakhov/profil/spieler/58970

So move from #2 to #3?

Gotcha, so there's definitely room for fleecing then. Somebody get me my shears.

Man I really like that idea. I'm going to probably be there, but I'm pretty sure I will be leaving the week before. Let's see if I can reschedule, barring results ;)

Preston North End apparently interested in Mak. Please excuse me while I go vomit.

Something I'm not completely clear on - if there is a clause (like the above mentioned 15mm), is it just a matter of whoever is the first to offer that sum, gets the player? Or is there still an opportunity for other teams to make bigger offers? I guess it's a no-brainer that making more money is welcome, but I can't think of these clauses ever being referenced in cases where clubs are competing for a player.

Do you think Klaus will give them a double-mpounia, like in your profile pic?

Charisis is available for this match, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the start over Kace. Would rather see him start over Tziolis. Having his energy will be especially useful against a tired AEK.

Meaning we'd get about one week more rest than we did last summer ;) I'm taking a look at that awesome coefficients site (http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/trank2016.html). Looks like we've dropped three places to 56th in Europe. If we were to make it into the third qualifying round of the EL, we'd be ranked second overall (after our old friends AZ). If we make it to the CL third qualifying round, we would be ranked 6th (which I know has been written before, I just like repeating things endlessly).

I think this was already written somewhere but this will be the last game Kace is available for this season.

I agree. We should be able to win, regardless of our shitty record there. Ivic seems to have a greater understanding of tactics than Tudor did, and we'll still have Mak for this game. Do we know of any other absences AEK will have? It seems that if they rotate in some of their lesser-used players, fatigue won't be as much of a concern for them. But I don't know enough about their roster to know if that would be a good or bad thing for us.

Good, Djebbour is a snake. The Villafanez news is great too. I don't think Panionios will be able to get any points from their remaining two matches, but if they can manage a single draw - regardless of opponent - I'll be happy.

Are you actually laughing out loud right now, amorgiggles?

That wouldn't be very...original

I think them losing Berg is a bigger loss than us losing Mak. If we had my boy Mistakidis, I'd feel better about it. But lacking that, Pelkas will almost certainly get a start there.

Two easy games does not a trend make

Press conference:

A draw vs AEK and a loss vs PAO will still probably leave us in second place. Since the tiebreaking criteria is head to head (and I believe we lost both games vs PAO this year?), we need to go for the win and hope that they somehow draw vs Panionios. Either way, this playoff is still very much open.

Currently 3-1
