I didn't even notice him come on haha

Tuned in to the Spain-Slovakia match right when the second half started. Mak was apparently subbed out at the half. The commentators are saying it's unknown if he has an injury, but he was their biggest attacking threat (and seems to have missed a sitter, which is no surprise). It would be awful for us if he actually got injured. Sabo not playing.

That silly lung usually overpowers his serious spleen.

Our coaches are terrified of playing with fewer than two DMs, so I doubt we'd see such a setup in the midfield. There are plenty of technical players out there; the issue is getting them on the field. Of course, right now, they'd look even worse, since our next generation has essentially never played together before. Just like our current generation. I just hope that these next matches are treated as serious attempts to try out new things, instead of regressing back to the normal trash we see.

Even if Kitsiou spoke Russian and had never seen a soccer ball, he'd probably still have made a better impact than Vyntra.

I'm glad Manolas isn't starting. About time they stop rewarding his shitty performances. Vyntra is an awful choice, though.

Lineup: Karnezis, Vyntra, Papadopoulos, Papastathopoulos, Holebas, Tziolis, Fortounis, Aravidis, Samaris, Mitroglou, Karelis

If we were to make it to the knockouts, he could be added to the list. It was mentioned a while back that Malezas seems to not be one of Tudor's favorites, so who knows what's going on there. I'd still think he's one of our top-three CBs, which means Vitor-Costa-Malezas should start each of those EL games. If we were to get a new CB, we'd essentially have three "real" ones, and Tzavellas/Skondras as converted fullbacks that can also slot in. Could be worse I guess.

^ that article also notes that we're looking for a 2mm EUR windfall from the sponsorship. So in other words, it'll pay for Berbatov.

That really does play well with the general stench of corruption.

That would be great, anything that detaches us from the domestic companies somehow just feels right.

We're generally diaspora Greeks - Australia, Canada, US, UK. In this particular forum (for PAOK), the majority are Australian and US fans.

Welcome Ivo! We're very happy to have you. Frankly, Berbatov won't need to do much running - the defenses he'll be most useful against, aren't exactly going to be very mobile. They'll just be sitting in front of their goals. I think ideally we'll see him paired with our captain, Klaus, who should be more than capable of doing the running (and the same goes for everyone else on the team, it's a very young squad).

It was a joke ;)

Do Qabala players form the core of their team?

Plenty on the site: http://www.paokfc.gr/nea/20150903-eikones-apo-tin-parousiasi-tou-berbatov/

Brady's cleared to play! Berman overturned the NFL's suspension.

It'll be like a middle school dance. There will be a gulf in the middle, boys (Finland) on the right, girls (Greece) on the left.

You're right. We should also continue using that strategy forever. I'd like to see 3 CBs, 3 DMs, a RB that can't run, and offset that with a LB that thinks he's a striker.

Perhaps Dortmund could make a small donation to keep the lights on ;)

It's such a shame. We hear about this kind of stuff way too often. Had it been diagnosed, he most likely could have continued and had a long career. I'm completely ignorant of what would lead to this diagnosis too; clearly it's beyond the physicals players usually go through? Krima.

He will absolutely tear it up in that league. This is a suitable punishment for him, and him signing an extension with us implies either some payoff next year, or a rehabilitated player to further help us.

Underrated or overestimated?

I was wondering why I was still seeing him in videos, I'm glad he stayed on and didn't move to Veria.

If he hasn't signed yet, when would they have had the time to print them? ;)
