Blackhawk

1:1

Vieirinha type goal.

Pelkas 1:0

0:0 halftime. Should have had at least one goal.

Giannoulias in for the captain. Hope it's not serious.

Big chance by Limnios

Pelkas and Bieswar with good chances.

Henrique is signed until June 2020, but a most likely scenario was that he would be loaned out again. Here is my lineup: ----------------- Paschalakis ------------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Giannoulis --------- Oliveira -------- Shakhov ----------- Limnios ------ Biseswar ------ Vieirinha ------------------- Swiderski ---------------------

Looks like Henrique played his last game for PAOK. He is out for the rest of the season and I don't see him returning to PAOK next season.

It is tragic that we don't know for sure yet the exact date,m time and even location of the final. There should not be any discussions right now about those issues. There should also not be any discussion about who will attend the game. Just two days ago the government official (the idiot Vasiliadis) mentioned that the game might be played without fans.

None, since we officially will not get tickets. In other news concerning the game, Henrique is injured and will miss this game and possibly the Levadeiakos games as well. Biseswar returned to practices. Jaba will return to practice tomorrow. Akpom now practices with a cast on his hand and is questionable for Sunday.

Biseswar is not leaving. He just signed a 3-year contract extension. As for Pelkas, considering the poor season he has had if we get any decent offer we should sell him. However if we would replace him with an average player such as Bouzoukis it might not be a good idea. The 3 mil asking price for Bouzoukis by Panathinaikos is nothing but a wishful thinking by them. All those rumors for Panathinaikos players are nothing but fake news by media. One I heard today was that PAOK will buy Kourbelis and Bouzoukis for 7 mil and will give Karelis to Panathinaikos for free as part of the deal. Never mind the fact that Karelis is not even property of PAOK and his loan ends in June.

No need to claim conspiracy. From what I understand Canas himself does not want renew his contract and wants to return to Spain.

Superleague wants 16 teams, but the idiot secretary of sports Vasilidias is threatening to cut the ERT TV contract from the 7 teams if the league does not go to 14 teams.

For Jaba and Akpom we have replacements. Unfortunately Biseswar will be needed in this game. This will be a physical game with a lot of fouls. Let's if the ref will let the Larisa players get away with it.

That was supposedly one of the ideas for next year's playoffs that I heard on the radio this morning. The whole playoffs idea sounds stupid to me. However, since they are going with 14 teams, Superleague needs to meet the TV contracts between them and Novasport /ERT where they need to guarantee at least 30 rounds of competition.

The capacity of SeatGeek Stadium is 28,000. Same as Toumba. Don't think a possible PAOK - AEK final in Chicago would draw more than 10,000, so the above mentioned stadium would be more than adequate.

It will be split into 6 teams for the title and 8 teams for relegation. The title race between the 6 teams will include 5 rounds of football, with the team finishing 1st in the regular season playing all their games at home (2nd team, 4 at home 1 away, etc.). At least that's the idea that was proposed today.

Looks like it's almost a done deal. next season will take place with 14 teams in Super League. That means 3 teams get relegated directly and one has a chance to remain if they defeat the second team from Football League. Next season will see the creation of Super League 2 which will have 12 teams. The Football League will become the third professional league with 14 teams. Still no news on what format the new leagues will utilize. We will most likely see playoffs in Super League again.

Akpom will most likely miss the game. I predict that Matos will score in this game.

Ever since the NT break and Jaba's trip to Porto during this break and the subsequent rumors that Porto is interested in his services his play has been nothing but dismal. This would make me even question his alleged in jury.

3:0 final score. Biseswar MVP again.

Buseswar 3:0

Nice goal by Shakhov
