The renewal happened a while back. Not sure why they decided today to make it official. Sometime I really wonder how they operate at PAE PAOK.

It was an excellent showing by Greece. I expected a maximum of 3 medals. What a pleasant surprise.

Starting lineup:

Exactly, the government is paying for it. Close connections to the prime Minister of the country Evangelos Marinakis has its benefits. The so-called British "bilionare" involved with the crook running Aris is being planted at the team by the government.

Here is the deal with television rights to PAOK Superleague games. In Greece and Cyprus the games will be televised on Novasport. The international broadcasts will be available on streaming platform Net TV Plus just like last year. As for PAOK TV the first two games will be streamed live for 4.99 Euro each. Available worldwide except Greece and Cyprus. After those two games there will be announcement concerning the annual subscription (if there will be one). This according to a note on the PAOK TV web site:

Why not become a fan of that team then (if you are not one already) and leave as alone.

Squad for the game: Κοτάρσκι , Ζίβκοβιτς , Λύρατζης , Σάστρε , Ίνγκασον , Κάργας , Κουλιεράκης , Τσαούσης , Κούρτιτς , Σβαμπ , Φιλίπε Σοάρες , Ντάντας , Ντόουγκλας , Ελ Καντουρί , Κωνσταντέλιας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Νάρεϊ , Κουαλιάτα , Μπράντον , Ολιβέιρα

She did a great job. Almost had a hattrick. Sunday we play Glasgow Rangers. With a win we qualify to the next stage of the competition.

What same karamela. When he took over the team 10 years ago he said his goal was for PAOK to eventually become self sufficient, and in yesterday's comments he jus reiterated that goal. Let's face it, as much as the Savvidis haters want him to gone, he will stay around. Eventually his sons will take over, unless some other crazy billionaire comes in and buys the team, something that is very unlikely.

Latest news is that Drisbioti has decided to take part in the 20 km walk. Might be another chance for a medal as she is in good form. Another hope for medal is Tzengo. If she throws over 63 meter I think she will be close to medal. Karalis has been a big disappointment this season following the great showing in the Olympics.

PAOK - Swansey City 2:0. On Sunday we play the winner of Ferencvaros - Glasgow Rangers

You can watch the PAOK - Swansey UEFA Women's Champions game here right now:

Gold for Tentoglou with a great jump of 8.52m. Anagnostopoulou bombed finishing 12th with poor showing.

No the summer games mean a lot, but what I don't like is the bitching fest because we missed out on Europe. And to tell you the truth people need to realize that losing is part of the game (basically the chance of losing is 50/50). There are always two teams competing on the field. Not making Europe should not be the end of the world as some are portraying things. Then you have the bandwagon trolls that come out of the woodwork only when the team is not doing good. I for one prefer to look ahead and hope that any failure is a learning point that will make the team better in the future. Let's not forget that after we were eliminated by Ostersund we went on and won an undefeated double. Let's not paint everything black (pun intended) after one bad result. I don't want the team to finish 4th or 5th, but if I see that we are seriously working on rebuilding this team with the goal to have more success in the future that I am ok with it.

Bandwagon fans. There is still time for you to become proud fans of the great 'O' Aris team.

I guess we won't know that until May 2023. I always laugh at the bandwagon fans that jump on and off based on couple of games during the summer heat. To answer your question, it looks like Panathinaikos, Aris and AEK will be improved. I don't see Olympiakos being better, but we know they have other ways to achieve their goals. I don't think we can contend for the title, but 2nd place is achievable. After that 3rd to 5th place does not make much difference as it gives you the same price, which is ticket to Conference League.

In the same race Kourkoutsaki finished 16th and Filtisakou did not finish the race. Same thing with Papamichail in the men's race. Did not finish. More mediocracy in the morning qualifiers as Skarveli, Chitidou and Merlos could not even come close to their season's best marks and were eliminated.. Two finals this afternoon. Tentoglou in long jum and Anagnostopoulou in discus throw. we expect gold from Tentoglou and hopefully top 8 finish for Anagnostopoulou.

Mihaj deal is official. We are left with 3 senior CB's and one of them will not be back until November.

Resale clause does not apply in this case since Charisis's contract that included the resale clause expired 2 seasons ago and Atromitos resigned him to a new contract before 2021-2022 season. We are getting nothing.

Under Savvidis PAOK won more titles in 10 years than the team won in 86 years prior to him taking over. Without Savvidis the team would have dropped to 3rd division and come back with a different team name and starting to accumulate more debt again. The Champions League dream is still achievable as long as he remains running the club. With some planted puppet from the government to run the team we would never be in the running for titles and we would be back to being an average team finishing in 4th place.

Three athletes qualifying to the finals on the first day of the championships. Tentoglou with 7.96m finishing 2nd overall in the long jump Stefanidi with 4.50 finishing 3rd overall in pole vault (almost did not make it, barely clearing 4.40 on 3rd attempt) Anagnostopoulou with 58.13m finishing 10th overall in discus throw The rest of the athletes were eliminated with mediocre results: Polak with 4.40m finishing 17th overall in pole vault Spanoudaki with 11.62 finishing 19th overall in 100m Tsiamis with 15.99 m finishing 15th overall in triple jump Pantazis with 15.86 m finishing 18th overall in triple jump Andrikopoulos with 15.39 m finishing 19th overall in triple jump

Would not be surprised if the Spartans make it to the group stage eliminating Partizan. Remember Ostersund that eliminated PAOK went to Round of 32 in Europa League before being eliminated by Arsenal. PAOK's problem was that they went to the Levski game completely unprepared and paid for it.
