I have a feeling the Karelis deal was made just to stick it to AEX. I predict that Biseswar will be sold.

BATE Borisov has several CL group stage appearances and won't be an easy opponent. Vidi is not easy either. It will be a mistake if we go into the games thinking they are easy. Our schedule is as follows: 1η αγωνιστική / 20 Σεπτεμβρίου ΠΑΟΚ – Τσέλσι (19:55) 2η αγωνιστική / 4 Οκτωβρίου Μπάτε Μπορίσοφ – ΠΑΟΚ (22:00) 3η αγωνιστική / 25 Οκτωβρίου ΠΑΟΚ – Βίντι (22:00) 4η αγωνιστική / 8 Νοεμβρίου Βίντι – ΠΑΟΚ (19:55) 5η αγωνιστική / 29 Νοεμβρίου Τσέλσι – ΠΑΟΚ (22:00) 6η αγωνιστική / 13 Δεκεμβρίου ΠΑΟΚ – Μπάτε Μπορίσοφ (19:55)

I would also be fine if Pelkas has not been called up as well. As long as the national team is run by special interests people I don't want PAOK players on the team.

Epsilon TV has acquired the Greek television right to the national team until 2022. This includes Nations League games, Euro and World Cup qualifying as well as friendlies. All the games will be available to free and on over the air transmissions of Epsilon TV in Greece.

Tough one. Could have been quite easier.

This is PAOK's group: Chelsea PAOK BATE Borisov Vidi FC

I'll take Anderlecht Malmo FF Dudelange

Good signing. Nice back up for Vieirinha. Can also play CB if needed. If we like him we buy him. If not we buy Stafylidis.

I only agree with starting Warda in place of Limnios and to a lesser extent with Vierinha moving up if we had solid LB to take his spot (which we don't). - Paschalakis has been solid the past few games, so there is no way Lucescu would have started Rey over him. - Varela has been one of our best players and he cost us two goals. Really bad day at the office for him. Also Crespo was our best player in Lisbon, so I am not sure Khacheridi could have come in for him.

AEK to play with Bayern, Benfica and Ajax. Just hope their game with Benfica is not on the last round when the result won't matter and Benfica fields their 3rd stringers.

Well several of our players already played in CL group stage Perhaps we need few more on the squad.

Exactly. Need to look forward. Had the title last season not been stolen, we would have been in the group stage today for certain. Even though we had a tough path to reach the goal we came really close. Nobody gave the team a chance when we were drawn against Basel. Proud of the team. Came real close and with a little luck we might have been able to accomplish the dream. Had we made it 2:0 when Limnios had the chance we might have seen a different outcome. The tying goal and the big mistake by Paschalakis completely demoralized the team and the player lost all the composure.

Very proud of our fans today. Did not stop supporting the team until the end. PAOK does not need band wagon fans.

Common Pelkas just shoot the ball.

This wan't really a yellow card offense, but he has been asking for it all game.

And there is the Matos red.

Might have been a mistake not starting Warda in this game.

Nothing goes our way today.

it was clear penalty.

Another penalty

Exactly. The season has not even started yet.

There is no way we can turn this game, but I hope we come out and get a respectable result. The players lost their composure specially after the penalty.

WTF are you guys talking about? We eliminated two group stage type CL teams so far in this campaign. One quite convincingly. Today we are facing one of the best European sides and it shows. We were never favorites in any of the six CL qualifying games. Much worse teams made the group stage just by going the easy champions route.
