And Olympiakos is tearing it up? They all of a sudden became Barcelona. They barely won 3 of their league games with lucky goals in injury time and we should have at least 12 point gap with them. They also eliminated the worst AC Milan I can ever remember.

Didn't come close? We were one tie away from reaching the CL group stage. And why would you not count the games from July and August? What were those games for? The Balkan cup? The team peaked their form for those games and we are paying for it. At least in the league we are getting away with it.

Olympiakos won 3:1 and it will be them that will play Europe on February 14 and 21 in between SL derbies. This is good for PAOK

Olympiakos is beating AC Milan 2:0. if that holds they progress. Very good for PAOK.

I like that lineup. Matos and Vieirinha need to sit out few games. Pelkas as well. After the Christmas break start playing Tosca as LB and have Vieirinha play offense.

Akpom and Warda have to start in this game. Even if that mean s switching to 4-4-2 formation. Something that Lucescu should do anyway, since out previous formation is so predictable.

To recap our European campaign this season. The minimum goal set for this Europeans season was reached. We made the group stage of Europa League. Don't forget that is something we did not do last season! Also we came very close to make group stage of Champions League. Overall, I would say our campaign was satisfactory, but the Europa League campaign was a disaster. We scored only one goal at Toumba!

Too little, too late. Also Vidi is beating Chelsea.

Tosca in for Vieirinha. Warda in for Limnios.

wow

Lucescu out coached by some Belorussian nobody. Pathetic.

Pretty much all over.

penalty for Bate

It's more likely we will concede a second one instead of scoring a tying goal. This is exactly like the Vidi game.

We are playing like we don't want to win this game.

And there it is. 0:1.

Almost like a SL game. Parked bus by Bate and I don't blame them as a tie might be good enough for them.

But is not as full as I would expect.

Starting lineup: ---------------- Paschalakis ----------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha ------ Mauricio ------------ Canas -------- Limnios -------- Pelkas ----------- Jaba ------------------- Prijovic -------------------

I too believe Warda will start on the bench. I think Jaba will be on the left side and Limnios will get a start. I predict easy victory for PAOK, but I think Vidi will snatch a 0:0 tie from Chelsea unfortunately.

I wouldn't hold my breath either since the government is involved. And also, I would not be making any deals with anybody from POK.

Our fans have been on good behavior for the past 2 seasons compared to the past. There is really no reason for them to create problems for the team right now. I really believe that our opponents will use any possible means to prevent us from winning the title. Last season should have been a good lesson. There were already two attempts this season. I don't see a reason why we would risk it by officially getting tickets for the game.

Don't think our fans are really the problem ...

PAE PAOK has agreed to officially get tickets for the game. Big gamble. Hope it does not backfire.
