We are very good offensively. Looks like we might secure qualification to next stage today.

Matos 1:0

PAOK with all blue jerseys. Will be hard to get used to it.

As pash points out this is the actual lineup:: ---------------------------- Rey ---------------------------- Matos - Malezas - Varela - Deligiannidis ------------ Shakhov ---------- Cimirot ---------- Limnios --------- Biseswar ------------ Pelkas ------------------------ Prijovic ------------------------- BENCH: Siabanis, Crespo, Mauricio, Canas, Mystakidis, Campos, Koulouris I would like to see Mystakidis get at least 15 minutes of play today.

According to reports this is Lucescu's lineup: ---------------------------- Rey ---------------------------- Matos - Malezas - Crespo - Deligiannidis ------------ Shakhov ---------- Mauricio ---------- Limnios --------- Biseswar ------------ Pelkas ------------------------ Prijovic -------------------------

This is the rule: Siabanis and Limnios meet this criteria.

There was a clear hand ball after the Pelkas free kick. In any case, pathetic display by PAOK so far. If we don't wake up we'll end up like AEK earlier toda.

We have been linked to few PAO and ex-PAO players, including their coach, already. I think it's just fake news. As for Koutroubis, we have Poggouras and Dimitriu. They are young and promising prospects. Our pressing problems right now are LB, RB (Matos backup), and forward (Prijo backup).

My lineup: ------------------ Paschalakis --------------- Matos - Varela - Malezas - Crespo ------ Mauricio ------------ Cimirot ------ Campos ------ Pelkas ------- Limnos ------------------ Koulouris ------------------ Depending on the score line we might see Mystakidis and Dimitriu for 10 or 15 minutes. In my opinion this game is tougher then it appears and I would not be surprised if we drop points tomorrow. The team needs to be serious when it enters the pitch.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check out some of his music. Speaking of Greek guitarists, my favorite one is Giannis Spathas, who formed the group Socrates Drank the Conium. These days at age 67 he is performing in Athens clubs with Blue Airways. I remember seeing him in Chicago in 1994 as a guitarist in the Mikis Theodorakis orchestra at Auditorium Theater.

I would like to keep him too, but I think the decision has been made already. I think the main reason for letting him go is financial. This means we need to acquire another CB. As for Stafylidis, he himself said he does not want to come back to Greece anytime soon. He'll probably pull a "Vieirinha" and come back to PAOK when he's in his 30's.

If I had to venture a guess it would be classical music.

Your wish has been granted. Still looking for a good place in the Chicago area that serves the real gyro (not the concoction invented in the US). Few places started serving the pork version around here , but nobody has perfected it yet.

Sounds about right except as you mentioned Crespo as LB. Hate to see Koulouris in the lineup as I don't rate him at all, but we don't have any options. I would like to see Biseswar being utilized as well. I see us dropping points in this game. Usually happens after a convincing game and the resulting euphoria. Pelkas all of a sudden is the new Messi if you read the local press.

It's their last chance to make some money before they drop to B Division.

Mak, Prijovic, El Kaddouri and possibly Vieirinha will miss this game.

The last two broadcasts of the New York PAOK Fan Club: November edition: December edition:

Looks like ERT is ready to sell the rights to ERT World and 5 radio stations for the next three years for the US market.

Now that we have disposed of Panathinaikos there is a string of games that we can't and should not drop any points. Basically until the game with Olympiakos (mid-February) we need to win all our games because it is very doubtful that Olympiakos and AEK will drop any points except for the game between each other. Those games are: Platanias - PAOK (12/16) PAOK - Levadeiakos (1/6) Kerkyra - PAOK (1/11) PAOK - Apollon (1/14) Panaitolikos - PAOK (1/21) PAS Giannina - PAOK (1/28) PAOK - Larisa (2/4) Lamia - PAOK (2/11) After these games we have four games that I believe will determine if we win the championship or not: PAOK - Olympiakos (2/18) Tripoli - PAOK (2/25) PAOK - AEK (3/4) Atromitos - PAOK (3/11

AEK drawn against Dinamo Kiev. They stand a good chance of advancing.

NOVA is not available via satellite in the US because the satellite footprint where it broadcasts from does not reach North America. It does reach Europe and Middle East, but the only way to subscribe to them is through "grey market" providers. The other way is through IPTV using streaming boxes with KODI installations, but they are cracking down on those boxes lately.

How stupid can you be coming to the stadium with a laser pointer. It should be very easy to pick out the guy who's doing it. I wish the security would just locate the guy a kick him out of the stadium and revoke his season tickets if he is a holder.
