PAOK players called for international duties: GREECE: Tzolis, Giannoulis POLAND: Swiderski AUSTRIA: Murg, Schwab SERBIA: A. Zivkovic ICELAND: Ingason SURINAM: Biseswar

Would not be surprised to see a PAOK - PAS Giannina final. Specially if we have foreign refs.

Or use a VPN and watch it on OPEN TV with Greek commentary.

Murg was also called up for the Austrian national team.

Semifinal draw is tomorrow. Hoping for PAS Giannina considering we have issues with the big 4 teams this season. First leg to be played on April 6/7. return leg on April 27/28.

The team needs to wake up and take the play-offs seriously. Hopefully a win against AEK this weekend can change the momentum.

Performance was not bad, specially in first half. Once again stupid defensive mistake decided the game. Schwab, Tzolis, Warda, and the two CB's very poor today.

2:1

Don't we'll see a miracle today.

I expect 2nd Panathinaikos goal any minute.

Krmencik needs to start in 2nd half.

And there it is 1:0 Panathinaikos

Need to score in 1st half.

Interesting that Augusto made the squad.

Kagawa got injured today and his availability for this game is questionable. My lineup: ---------------- Zivkovic ------------- Vieirinha - Ingason - Varela - Rahman ------ Tsiggaras ------- Schwab ----- Zivkovic ------- Warda -------- Tzolis -------------- Krmencik --------------

He is not really going to have any power at EPO. He is just a figure head. And when the people behind the scenes turn on PAOK, they will come out and say that we should not really complain since the president of EPO is a "PAOK" fan. I would describe Zagorakis as a Trojan Horse in this situation.

Because he is a diehard New Democracy party member and an elected official in the European Parliament on their ticket collecting a hefty salary. Last year when he criticized the New Demoracy over the PAOK/Xanthi issue, he was punished by Mitsotakis by expulsion from the party. Now Marinakis/Mitsotakis came up with a plan to gain control of EPO by proposing the position of EPO president to Zagorakis. In return for him accepting the position, Zagorakis was welcomed back to the New Democracy party. He will also keep his position and salary in the European Parliament. Additionally there are rumors that his wife Lily will get a TV show on MEGA Channel, which by coincidence is owned by Marinakis.

Big deals are happening behind the scenes and I am pretty sure PAOK is taking part in those deals. Unfortunately the government was holding us hostage with the PAOK/Xanthi issue and the new Toumba stadium. Deal was made and the courts that are controlled by the Greek Prime Minister Evaggelos Marinakis declared us innocent and I expect the new stadium will start getting the permits soon. In return we agreed behind the scenes to support their puppet Zagorakis.

Brugge is missing one big point. Does Tzolis really want to play in the Belgian league? I think not. His eyes are set on Premier League or Bundesliga. This is where he will end up. The big offers will start rolling in June/July.

The Superleague play-off and play-out draw will take place on Monday, March 15. The draw will take place electronically, so there is no need for team representatives to be present and touch each others balls to see if they are warm or cold.

PAOK ex-player and ex-president Theodoros Zagorakis has been picked by Olympiakos/Greek Government (Lefteris Avgenakis) to become the new EPO president. So far he is the only candidate that has officially announced that he is running for the position in the upcoming EPO elections. One of his demands to become a candidate was that there will not be any other candidate running and that all the "big" teams would be behind his candidacy. So far only Olympiakos, Aris and Larisa have officially endorsed his candidacy.

Exactly. The only difference is that to get the European ticket you need at a minimum 2 ties and one win in the Greek Cup, or 10 games in the playoffs against teams that we have had problems beating all season long. I would strongly concentrate on winning the cup.

Agree 100%. And on top of that he could also be an option for RB and LB position as a sub.

I believe Sport FM is controlled by Alafouzos and they behave just like every other news outlet. They are biased on behalf of whoever the owner is and who is financing them. They will push stories to suit their agenda. Some are more blatant than others.
