What the hell was that. Don't believe I wasted two hours of my time watching this. At least we qualified without any injuries and card problems.

Swiderski in for Akpom. We will win 1:0 woth Karol's goal.

Yes in for Jaba. Very good move.

Good move.

This has the makings of a major disaster.

Also Misic has been non-existent so far. As was Jaba and Limnios.

I don't like Crespo as LB. Hopefully that's not an experiment to be used at the cup final (if we get there). Don't understand why Giannoulis could not play today.

Halftime 0:0. What a dismal display by the champions. Tripoli could easily be winning 2:0.

Way too many mistakes by PAOK players. Need to realize that fiesta is over.

Paschalakis almost burned us.

Tricky game if you ask me. The best scenario would be to score a goal early, which would pretty much seal the deal and then coast and try to avoid any injuries and/or red cards. As proven in the two league games against them they are a dirty teams with a lot of fouling which they seem to get away with. I am worried we will end up with injured players from this game.

You will never see that happen Bananas. They are too busy celebrating 10 year anniversary of a cup final that they lost, the epoch of Peruggia and the Gallis years.

Varela has a preliminary agreement with Savvidis for 1.1 mil and generous bonuses. The sticking point from what I understand is his agent who demands a signing bonus. Apparently he thinks he can persuade the Chinese to give him his big cut.

Rumors are Varela signed a big contract with a Chinese team. Either that or his agent is spreading rumors in order to squeeze more money from Ivan.

From now until August 31 we will hear all kinds of rumors. This just the beginning. The other I heard recently is that we will definitively go for Ezequiel Ponse who is on loan at AEK from Roma.

Hope the team gets beck to reality and focus on this game so we don't have any surprises.

The 2018-2019 Champions of Greece:

The PAOK U17 team defeated Panathinaikos 2:0 in the semifinals of the Greek championships and will play Olympiakos in the final on Thursday.

This picture speaks for itself. This kid has been in the PAOK ranks since 13 years of age. This must have been a dream come through for Pelkas.

I have witnessed all three championship titles by PAOK. This one is by far the best!

And the party continues at the White Tower.

Vieirinha in for Pelkas

Can't. That sub is reserved for Vieirinha.
