This is not looking good. I am getting on a plane from Chania to Athens. Hopefully when I land, there will be good news awaiting.

1:0 loss to Karditsa in our second game if the season.

And finishing 5th in the final. In competitions like these if you don't improve your personal best or come close to it you don't stand a chance to medal.

Better wake up and bounce back from the disaster in the cup.

Disaster at the World Championships. After the Karalis silver medal we expected a gold from Tentoglou. Unfortunately he ended up in 11th place after sustaining injury during his first jump. Lets hope for a medal from Tzengko in javelin throw.

What a disaster.

WTF is going on? I am doing some wine tasting in a local winery in Chania, Crete and follow this disaster on line.

Game will take place at OAKA Stadium. If the local police does not give the permission than it will move to Leoforos Alexandra in Athens. All this for a game only 4 days before kickoff. Sad thing is that I will be in Athens on that day, but the game will be played behind closed doors.

Jovanivic was outcoached. The Danes neutralized our offensive threats quite well, and then they just punished us when we made mistakes. Maybe it would have been better if he started Bakasetas and then go with Konstantelias in 2nd half. The next two games will decide our fa. Win against Scotland (we have done it before), and maybe try to get a tie in Copenhagen to keep us in the race.

Still not clear where this will take place. Pankritio Stadium might not be ready by game time. It might be played at OAKA in Athens. In any case it will be without fans as OFI has 1 game fan ban from last season.

Sadly he never got a chance to prove himself.

1:0 final score.

That should open the door for couple more.

Watching on shitty stream in a hotel in Nafpaktos. We are playing badly even with an extra man.

Unfortunately I was stuck in Athens and missed the game. The bars I checked out were showing only the AEK or Panathinaikos game.

So who starts as forward in this game? Giakoumakis or Chalov?

Second home game in a row. This time with fans. Must win too.

Yes Chalov is bad right now, but so will be every forward we will use if the team plays like we did the last 3 European games. Add the fact that Zivkovic and Konstantelias are playing very poorly does not help the situation.

1:0 final. What a pathetic performance by PAOK. Don't see how we can advance without crating any chances for goal. We have no clue on what to do with the ball when we reach the offensive zone. And we are not playing any good teams either.

The left side with Baba is a constant danger for PAOK.
