Reminds me of that old Robin Williams line about Lance Armstrong. "It's chemotherapy, you a**hole!" In that not all drugs are performance-enhancing.
Loses a lot of its impact in retrospect, of course...
Might have to play him anyway now that Charisis is (once again!) unavailabile. Although it's more likely Tziolis will get a start, I feel. Would be a real kick in the pants if Antonis begins to start over him, too.
The point we got from this match brings us to 35, tied with Panionios for 4th. We are 11 behind AEK, who would start the playoffs with a two-point advantage over us. PAO would start with one point.
And that's game. Here's a list of our cards:
Cimirot, yellow
Malezas, yellow
Charisis, red (two yellows)
Pelkas, yellow
Chatziisaias, yellow
Kitsiou, yellow
I'm confident we'll make it to the playoffs, but I'm worried that we'll end up in last place again - and we already saw what happened this year, with such an early start to our next year.
Of course if we *somehow* win the Cup, it won't really matter what happens with the playoffs.
There's a reason he went to Turkey, didn't play much, and then ended up in China. From what I recall, he was never really the same after he tore his ACL, although I'm sure one of our fishy friends will be in shortly to let us know.
