Blackhawk

1:1

Apparently an elbow by Baba the reason why it was disallowed.

Called back. Still 0:1.

0:2

0:1 with Zivkovic at the end of the 1st half. All the work done by Soretire.

Atromitos all over us and Kotarski quite shaky so far.

I like this lineup, although I would have started Camara instead of Schwab/Ozdoev.

We are after Pantelis Chatzidiakos to fill the Ekong position on defense. it will be a loan from Cagliari with option to buy.

Simulations:

Need to win this one in order to go to the mini break with full points ahead of the game with Panathinaikos. My lineup: -------------- Kotarski --------------- Sastre - Kedziora - Michailidis - Baba ----- Camara ---------- Schwab ---- Zivkovic --- Konstantelias --- Taison -------------- Chalov ---------------

That's the one, and also who got us the winner against Aris in the cup game final played at Toumba in 2003 (0:47 in the video).

Fairly good draw in my opinion. We should be able to defeat FCSB and Ferencvaros. Also playing the two Czech teams at Toumba gives us added advantage and two wins are a possibility. Winning at Riga is a must, and who is to say we won't get a tie or two in the other away games. With that in mind, I would venture to say that we will win 4 games and tie one, which will give us 15 points, which according to the simulations gives us 42% chance of making the top 8 of the group. Nine points should be enough (56% chance according to simulations) to qualify to the playoff round. A lot will also depend on the actual schedule of the games which will be announced tomorrow.

I believe he is the son of G.X. Georgiadis, one of our best right wingers from the past.

Rafa Soares is being released by PAOK so he can join Famalicao.

0:2 Despodov

Ozdoev 1:0

Both Colley and Bakayoko are coming to Thessaloniki tomorrow to complete the deals. Both will sign 1+1 contracts worth 1.2 mil per season. The +1 year of the contracts will depend on playing 60% of the games this season.

Looooooser!

I thought this was supposed to be the new beginning for the NT. WTF are Mantalos and Bouchalakis doing on this list?

Once again having problems to break a school bus defense. Despodov not helping things. Chalov all alone in the box. He needs some help there. Bring in Zivkovic and Baba ASAP.
