23k watching the livestream. Probably another, what, 30k in the stadium? Wonder what the final numbers will be like

I think Meite is pretty good! He solves almost all of the issues we had with players like Esiti - Meite can legitimately control the ball and attack. It's just the speed that he lacks. Which is kind of inevitable when you're a huge dude...

I was talking about this with our podcaster friend - in some ways it is more impressive. We played so many more games, with what I think is a worse team...in a superleague that is the most competitive it's probably ever been. If it's not the best, it's a close second..

They just showed what I think is the team bus, and it is, uh, not able to make much progress hahaha

Btw I was looking at the big events as witnessed on the PAOK Today stream. He's surrounded by cops and security, of course. Somehow Aris fans are a few rows behind him. After our second goal, the big burly cop that was behind Antonis gave a tiny fist bump and an Aris fan tried to fight him. And somehow the cop F***in APOLOGIZED. Greece truly is a zoo.

I could not possibly tell you!

I need to take a walk because I'm falling apart right now. Should not have had all that coffee. WHY DOES MY HEART BEAT TO THE RHYTHM OF A PAOK CHANT?? IS THIS NATURAL??

Astoundingly bad performance by us, my heart literally is in pain, I can't tell if I need to go see a doctor. God I am so friggin happy WHERE ARE THE LIVESTREAMS? WHAT IS THE PLAN?!?!

I want 3 more just to be safe

Absolutely wild how predictable the first half was. I wonder if someone came in and stole the balls that were at the feet of the ball boys, which caused those poor young men to not be able to find them when we had a throw-in? Aris should investigate this!

Here's the lineup, kickoff in 28 minutes AHHHHH

Do we know who has been doing our scouting since Boto left? I guess Boto identified Brandon Thomas and Kotarski, and pushed for Koulierakis and Konstantelias... but Despodov must be whoever secretly is in charge now?

I am 30% of these views

Hey, what can I say, I liked what I saw from Dantas. I'll offer him a few packs of Ivan's finest cigarettes to come play, why not. 14 million for 70% of his rights is a very good deal for us, IMO. I'm sure the rando has only the highest quality sources, right? I think we are going to lose most of our CBs this summer, but for that kind of money we can find a lot of depth, so hopefully it's true.

Sorry bud, I don't know but I like that you're thoughtful enough to not want to publish it online haha Murg is currently day-by-day; hopefully it's just a sprain but will still stink if he's not available.

Yeah, I would be surprised if we still have Konstantelias or Koulierakis by the end of the transfer window. The positive there, of course, is that we'd likely have easily another 15 million euros in our coffers to spend on replacements. Kotarski would also net us a lot of money if we were to sell him, I feel. I should also mention that I've seen some random speculation that we want Pelkas and Tzolis back. Pelkas might be a bit more believable, but I think we need to trend younger. And don't forget that Tzolis clearly didn't want to be here the moment there was serious interest in his services abroad...

Kougias resigned his position at Olympiakos and now is now joining PAS Korinthos (which I don't think I've ever even heard of). Some people just live the most eventful lives, I guess. In most countries, you'd expect professionals to move from club to club. In Greece, the connections seem a lot more "personal," which makes me immediately think something sketchy is going on (just like I thought the Olympiakos move was very sketchy, in light of him owning their competitor!!!!)...

Was just reminded that Tiago Dantas will be a free agent at the end of June. Played 19 games this season, one goal, one assist. Wouldn't be opposed to a reunion - he was much better for us than Marcos Antonio, who obviously will not be acquired. Doesn't solve the DM situation (assuming we don't acquire Meite), but Schwab's also going to be a free agent next month, so there will be space at midfield... Anyway, plenty of other rumors out there. I hope the team does make moves very quickly; even if we get the latest possible start date, we will have a lot of holes to fill. Ivan Basic - Bosnian player, attacking midfielder. I can't see this happening: https://www.transfermarkt.com/ivan-basic/profil/spieler/620560 Anderson Duarte - plays a position of need (LW), I could see us going for him: https://www.transfermarkt.com/anderson-duarte/profil/spieler/928648 Adrian Sut - could be the anti-Meite, but I know very little about him. FCSB also will extract maximum money from us for him: https://www.transfermarkt.com/adrian-sut/profil/spieler/433979 Cristo Gonzalez - plays either CF or SS, in Portugal. Got some entertaining highlights, but might be a bit expensive for us: https://www.transfermarkt.com/cristo/profil/spieler/339707

So much for all the investment, huh? That's pretty pathetic. Perhaps they should just give a free "sideline ticket" to a doctor each game day so they can save some money. After all, they're oathbound to help right??

Aris had four yellows in today's match. I don't suppose any of those guys are suspended for this match? Ferrari, Rose, Suleymanov, Manu Garcia

Otto is probably going to turn out to be yet another example of the Lucescu, "six months until he understands how to play" syndrome. Hopefully he will be at least as good as Baba going forward; we're gonna need him this summer (no matter what happens on Sunday).

Weird, would have thought our win record would have been worse, considering how terribly we usually play against them. I am...so pumped for this match haha

Koulierakis and Samatta our only yellows; a shame Koulierakis will miss the game on Sunday. Maybe the worst player to lose. Does Michailidis get the start? Nasberg? Play three at the back?! Absolutely pumped for Vieirinha, what a way to end your last home game...

What a day to be alive!
