Blackhawk

Nice win. Postive things out of this game: - secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the cup - will have the chance to rest players in the return game - Mystakidis return into the lineup and almost scoring - Biseswar getting a start and scoring Negative: - the fans for possibly punishing the team with a 2 game fan ban of Toumba - Prijovic not scoring, who deserved at least one goal - Deligiannidis. I am afraid he is not a LB material. Can't blame the kid though. His natural position is a right mid/forward. - Rey looking shaky today Final note: Shakhov is out top scorer in the cup with 3 goals.

Shakhov 5:1

That would have been a nice goal by Mystakidis.

Mysta coming in.

campos 4:1

Bise 3:1

Guess it counted 2:1.

And here comes the Toumba ban.

Looks like Deligiannidis will be the first sub due to injury. Can't if he can't continue.

Don't think I would agree with that. he already moved Biseswar to the left and Pelkas to the middle. My first sub would be Campos for Limnios.

Deligiannidis's fault.

And as I say that it's 1:1

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.
