Vieirinha and Biseswar big liability on the left side.

Narey should have scored there.

Almost 0:1

Looks like the live broadcasts of PAOK home games in Superleague have come to an end:

Still no sign of PAOK TV, so it looks like we will be searching for streams tomorrow to watch the game.

Except for the assist on the goal Fernandes did not really impress me. Not sure why we are after him since we already have Zivkovic in that spot.

Looks like Paolo Fernandes from Volos will be our final transfer for this season. The deal should be sealed soon. Apparently part of the deal is a Koutsias loan to Volos, but he must sign a contract extension with PAOK first.

Most likely it's just the web site being re-designed. We shall see.

PAOK TV web site (https://tv.paokfc.gr/) is under construction. Hopefully that does not mean the end of live game broadcasts now that the brains behind PAOK TV left the organization.

Easy win against Estonia, but Giannis left the game injured. Next game is knock out against Czech Republic.

The final number for the season tickets is 10,058 These are the lucky season ticket holders for the last season of the old Toumba.

I pretty much expect the same line up as our last game except for Lyratzis starting as RB and Vieirinha shifting to LB.

Lyratzis took part in full practice today and will most likely be ready for the game on Sunday. Portuguese officiating crew for this game. They called previous PAOK - Aris games.

Tsiggaras officially announced by Toulouse.

PAOK 'B' - Veroia 5:1 Balomenos, Ricardo, Koutsias and Quagliata from the first team played in 1st half. Ricardo scored one of the goals.

EPO announced our next friendly game: November 20. 2022, 21:15 EET - Puskas Arena, Budapest Hungary - Greece

Lambrou officially signed with Excelsior for 2 years. PAOK will pocket around 450K, which also includes the player's salary. PAOK keeps 5% resale option. Earlier today there was a rumor that Paphos from Cyprus was close to signing Murg, but apparently the deal fell through.

Sakkari loser number 2! Lost to the Chinese. Both Tsitsipas and Sakkari need some psychological help in order to help them with their loser mentality.

Additionally, Tsiggaras's contract with PAOK was extended by one year until 2025 during this loaning process.

Aris is coming into this game with a new coach Raul Caneda, who replaced Bourgos after they lost to Panaitolikos.

And today Marinakis stormed the EPO offices trying to save his ref puppet Karantonis. That is why the Greek Superleague in particular and Greek football in general will never be taken seriously.

And to answer the Bananas question, I am sure Lucescu and Boto brought the Tsiggaras matter to Ivan and a decision was made to proceed with the loan. It's a known fact that Tsiggaras was way down on the pecking order in the midfield position, and I am sure Lucescu and Boto had a talk with him. I am sure they explained to him that with Europe games out of the picture his playing time would be limited. Also the prospect of playing in the same league as Messi, Mbabe and Neymar surely made Tsiggaras's decision to move to France that much easier. This is a win-win situation for PAOK. If Tsiggaras has a good season at Toulouse, they exercise the buyout option and PAOK makes a good return on the player. If they decide not to sign him, he comes back to us with much more experience under his belt.

If we end up getting 3 mil for Tsiggaras a player that has played 55 games for the senior team and has only 1 goal in a cup game and total of 0 assists, than we are really making a killing. Probably the best think that can happen to him. He will get great experience in a top class league. Good luck to him.

Tsitsipas, one of the biggest losers in tennis today. Out in the first round with an embarrassing defeat to the Colombian.
