Nea Bafra

it's quiet in here. just checking in. everyone still safe?

Stoch Wernbloom Akpom El Kaddouri get rid of them and it frees up a reasonable chunk of cash

Look I can't see this passing in the next 6 months. Why not just extend this into an 18 month season and then just skip the 20-21 season. We are in seriously uncharted waters here

I agree with this. Not for PAOK, I'm thinking more of the teams in the bottom. There would possibly be at least one change in the relegation spots and the chance to save yourself gone.

Frankly they should just void all seasons currently underway [especially the ones with relegation]

do we have dates?

I wont hear you talk bad about Boloni.

It has been said we are restricted by FFP. I don't know if this is true. I think this season we are hamstrung by a combination of injuries, age and a less balanced squad than last season. Not to mention the fact that our previous coach left 2 days before the players returned for pre-season. This is not an excuse btw, just some reasons for the difference from last season to this. On the field we have not been good enough to lead the league.... END OF STORY.

In fairness, how often have we had european football in february?

blackhawk, shouldn't you rename this PAOK B v PAOK A?

i don't have a good feeling about this

I subscribed while being in Greece and it didn't ask me for this stuff. sure you weren't on pornhub or something?

not you too

Agree with Yiankos here. We should not be celebrating the trouble makers. If you want to pay his bills fine, but don't use him as some PR stunt FFS

we have not played at any stage this year like a team that can win the league we need to rebuild and fine tune the squad for next year. this was a wasted transfer period

ummm that was my point, is there something in the water up in sydney these days?

you act like we don't have the herald-scum here

no need for the apology. you are spot on. we have an example of that here. we have a fledling semi-pro national women's league in the aussie rules [about to start season 3]. The concept of promoting it and organising it is admirable and needed however the standard is horrid as the majority of players have not played continuously from a young age like the equivalent males. Also many of them have been poached for their athletic skills from other sports. conversely we are now seeing in Australia in football that the almost two decades long consistent promotion for girls to play junior football is paying dividends in our WNT, that critical mass filters down to the junior levels. they are now scouting semi elite squads down to U12 for the girls and while some of them are treated just like money making devices regardless there is an increased training load and the girls skill acquisition goes up regardless. for the PAOK women to get better on the continent they need their local competition to improve to give them a challenge [and to give them players to poach] they are doing something akin to what Oly have done in the men's comp over the last 20 years. sorry for the long post

it's a different standard athens4. The PAOK women are unlikely to beat my local team here. doesn't make their achievements locally any less. also, i imagine their budget is miniscule compared to some others

Can we make Yiankos his own thread for the sh1t talking with other clubs supporters?

The protocol in the forum on abuse should be interesting here. I think our wriggly friend has let Yiankos get under his skin

too many bloody americans, not enough Austrians

We deserved to lose. Well done to Aris.

Finally

OK, it's about to be Christmas here in the future. Wanted to wish all my fellow PAOKtzides a safe holidays full of food and fun. See you all on the flipside.
