Too bad Kolkas has no energy today; usually he livens up the radio broadcasts with his "I'm pretty much your drunk uncle and I don't know how to use a cell phone" antics...

Card for Sankare

Libero is working normally: http://www.e-radio.gr/Libero-1074-Thessaloniki-i208/live

No dice on links so far, unfortunately. Share 'em if you've got 'em

Should be soon. He's training normally as far as I recall. But until Tziolis stops performing, I don't think we'll see him. I for one am happy to see Golasa in the Kace/#8-style role.

May he rest in piece. A shame, he had a wife and a very young child.

PAOK24 predicting some surprises in the starting eleven... http://www.paok24.com/podosfairo/55379/ekplikseis-stin-endekada --Glykos-- --Vitor-Costa--Tzavellas-- --Rodrigues--Tziolis--Golasa--Leovac-- --Pelkas--Jairo-- --Mak-- The above is from the article, although I think Mak and Jairo's positions will be switched. I'm glad to see Golasa starting again, Tudor has spoken well of him lately.

I'll give Skibbe the benefit of the doubt, for now. Nothing is as it seems with our boys. Anyone have any intel on what formations/style/conditioner/etc he prefers?

This match will be bookended by games vs Asteras Tripolis (November 1st) and Panthrakikos (November 8th). I would assume that Tudor's preferred 11 will start vs Asteras, and any considerations for this game would be second to that. On the plus side, we can essentially play our youth squad vs Panthrakikos.

Sportdog reporting that Tudor is looking for an additional CF, CM, and CB for January. Apparently not happy with Berbatov's output. Soon we'll have more players than Oly.

Creamed the Dolphins just now. Very solid.

A 31 year old free agent who can't find a club? Perhaps we ruined him.

I just wanted to put it out there. It's been bothering me for years.

PAOK's "parakamera" videos are also taped by some dude on the sideline, but they clearly care more ;)

Every time I see his name, I think to myself that it's a real shame that it isn't "Amorgiggles." This is unrelated to your bet.

Here are the goals. These guys need to get a better videographer. Although I guess I can't blame them, Cyprus only got the Internet last week.

I found this entertaining. Very much in the line of other made-up places, like Narnia and Middle Earth. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/australian-accent-is-a-product-of-early-settlers-heavy-drinking-claims-academic-a6711486.html

Watching the highlights now... Can't believe that first one didn't go in for Mak. Great that Pelkas was there to finish the job. Great second goal too.

I'm kicking myself over missing this. Hopefully that youtube fella will put it up in the coming days.

You know just how to reach a lad's heart

That second one actually looks more interesting to me. I think I'm overdue for a return trip to Chicago. Bougatsa for everyone!

I don't believe Minoans were known to construct anything outside of Crete and its environs? NYT has a more in-depth article as well: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/27/science/a-warriors-grave-at-pylos-greece-could-be-a-gateway-to-civilizations.html?_r=0&module=CloseSlideshow&region=SlideShowTopBar&version=SlideCard-6&action=click&contentCollection=Science&pgtype=imageslideshow

Cup matches require youth team members to be called up as well, right? Three of them? Right now, the only one I would recognize is Deligiannidis (unless Pozoglou still counts?)

I think the guarantee was "wouldn't be loaned out before December." So he'd compete for his chance. I haven't seen anything in highlight videos that tells me he'd be good enough to start over the others, frankly.
