In the end we actually won the Relegation Group finishing first: 1. PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' 23 points 2. Kavala 22 3. Niki Volos 22 4. Diagoras 19 5. Ethnikos Neou Keramidiou 5 This means that we have a secured spot in Superleague 2 for next season. We are the only remaining 'B' team that is still taking part in SL2 since AEK 'B' and Tripoli 'B' were relegated. According to rules they can be replaced by another 'B' team that is top rated in the U19 league, which in this case is Olympiakos. It is still unknown what format the next SL will be. There is talk of a single group with 20 teams, but that has not been decided yet.

Olympiakos clearly the superior team in the game with quicker and more talented players. All we need now is a tie to get 3rd place and possibly Europa League spot, but with our luck we will probably lose to the mediocre AEK.

And now 2:2 with Zivkovic again.

2:1

Cheap goal. Kotarski should have saved it.

Zivkovic after a big mistake by the goalie.

PAOK - Asteras 1:1 Yet another tie at home. We share 4th place with Tripoli. The real game takes place on Wednesday against Panathinaikos in the cup.

Congrats to the U19 team.

Would have preferred Kalamata over Kifisia. Basically we will replace one Athenian suburb with another in the Superleague.

Don't understand Lucescu's fascination playing Brandon in the playoffs. Just hope that does not mean he is going to be resigned for next season.

You can add Manzouranis to the list as he got a personal best of 78.61 meters in hammer throw. He got the entry standard for the Worlds and became 3rd best in hammer throw in Greece behind Papadimitriou (80.45 m) and Polychroniou (80.08 m).

In any case it's Olympiakos that will determine the final standings. If they relax on their fiesta day and we take advantage of it and then they give it their all against the hated rivals Panathinaikos we stand a GOOD chance for second place. The best scenario is: We beat Olympiakos and AEK and PAO draw. 1. Olympiakos 69 2. PAOK 58 3. Panathinaikos 57 4. AEK 54 That way we secure 3rd place and it's in our hands to beat AEK in the last game finish 2nd. As pash rightly surmised, PAO must not win both of their games for the 2nd place to be in play for us. The bad part is that if we are tied on points with either AEK or PAO we lose the tie-breakers in both instances.

Olympiakos will have their title fiesta after the game. Hopefully we can spoil their fun and get a result and also hope for a tie or at worst a win by AEK in the other game. Current standings: 1. Olympiakos 69 2. Panathinaikos 56 3. PAOK 55 4. AEK 53

If we eliminate Tripoli, we will play Panathinaikos in the semis in a two leg series.

If the score is favorable, I think Vierinha will get some minutes in our season final against AEK.

Massive win. Great game by Michailidis.

2:1 Camara

Great goal by Michailidis.

4th place it is then.

Hope I am wrong, but with Meite and Brandon I don't think we'll even get a point out of this game.
