The Special Edition jersey was unveiled today by PAOK. Only 1,000 jerseys will be produced. They go on sale for 55 Euro.

Looking at the OFI goal again I think more blame should go to Vieirinha as he passed the ball to Canas who was covered by two OFI players. He should have never passed the ball to him.

What can I say Yianko? You said it all. Biseswar was great today. He participated in all 3 goals.

Mates from a corner.

Biseswar. 1:1

Only player trying is Biseswar

Big mistake by Canas

1;0 ofi

Can't get used to watching the game with OFI in PAOK jerseys and us wearing all red.

PAOK in all red jerseys.

WTF. PAOK players wearing red shorts and socks during warmup.

And no Khacheridi and Limnios either. Here is what I think will happen. Tosca will definitively play in this game, and I expect him to take Vierinha's place at some point and/or if one of our CB's needs to be subbed, since he played as a CB in the past. For Chelsea game, Tosca will start at LB and Vierinha will play as RB, since Matos will be out. Kitsiou will be on the bench. If Tosca can't handle 90 minutes, Vierinha will switch to LB and Kitsiou will come in.

You're talking small potatoes here. The case was being postponed at every court appearance using various excuses, which is a normal thing in judicial Greece. The verdict against the guy will probably come down 5 years from now. Here you have people that tried to smuggle two tons of heroin into the country and nobody is blinking an eye.

You guys have to realize that at least 80% of Greeks in the Chicago area originate from Tripoli, and specifically from one village.

Could be an old member of Greeksoccer forums, who is an Asteras Tripoli fan and AEK fan at the same time. Although I doubt it's him. I don't picture him at a Farmer's Market.

Basically they are moving the benches underground, but the coaches will still be on the sidelines yelling at the players most importantly the refs. Also Gate 2 gets an increase in seats, while gate 8 (visitor's gate in European games) gets a reduction.

20,750 Euro was the fine for the flare thrown by an unknown person in the game from inside the stadium (not the stands).

OFI and Larisa games this weekend are on Sport Plus, which only leaves PAS Giannina as the only unknown. We'll find out next round where they fall as they finally will play a home game. From what it appears it looks like Antenna Sat/Pac has home games of AEK and Panionios and Sport Plus the rest of the non-ERT teams.

We have not lost to an English team in Europe yet. Hopefully with a little luck this streak will continue. Also somewhere I read that Akpom in 3 games against Chelsea he scored in each of those games.

The two most important games coming up are the OFI and AEK. They are both must win. The Chelsea game on paper is a lost cause. It will not be a disaster if we lose that game. Against OFI the players that are in best form need to start and finish the game early. After that they have 5 days to recuperate. After the Chelsea game there is no time for rest. I would even start 2nd stringers against Chelsea to rest our main players for AEK. My lineup for OFI: ----------------- Paschalakis ---------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha ------ Mauricio -------- Werbloom ----- Jaba ----------- Biseswar ------- Warda ---------------------- Akpom -------------------

He will most likely miss AEK as well. That's what happens when you don't have proper pre-season training.

In Greece nothing is 100% sure.
