Yet another national record for Karalis: 6.02 meters At the same meet Duplantis breaks world record 6.27 meters

2:0 final We just clinched the playoffs with one game to go, which we need to win. We are 3 points behind Panathinaikos. In the other game AEK and Olympiakos are tied at 0:0 at halftime, so we will gain some ground on either both of them or at least on one of them.

2:0 Samatta

8,270 is today's attendance.

1:0 halftime.

Another big save by Pavlenka. We are making frequent defensive mistakes.

That was some great tackling by Ozdoev. Probably saved a goal.

No penalty. Wieteska touched ball first.

Penalty for Tripoli

Taison 1:0 Goal created by Samatta.

Unbelievable chance missed by Konstantelias. Earler, big save by Pavlenka.

My proposed lineup: --------------- Kotarski --------------- Sastre - Kedziora - Michailidis - Baba ------- Camara ------- Ozdoev ------- Zivkovic ---- Konstantelias ---- Pelkas --------------- Chalov ----------------

Jonny, Schwab and Lovren are injured and will not be available for this game.

True, and only Tentoglou and Karalis have a chance of getting a medal, although it appears that Tentoglou is not at his best form lately.

In a perfect scenario, OFI wins the cup and goes to EL. We finish 2nd and try again our luck in CL. Aris wins the 5-8 place playoff and goes home empty handed. But as our luck goes this season we will be happy to clinch 4th place and UCL.

Also Panserraikos has asked for 800K from PAOK to let him transfer to PAOK.

Pretty sure he was promised a starting position when he signed, but instead he was excluded from the European squad in favor of the unfit Meite who is also getting starts on regular basis.

According to rumors, Sergio Pena has asked to be released from his contract!!!

This is a must win game in order to secure a spot in the playoffs. Tripoli always gave us problems, but one good thing is that they will play a cup game on Wednesday and will have to spend some energy if they want to progress to the final.

Heard a rumor that the keeper in question asked to be the no.1 keeper on the squad. This would mean that Kotarski is gone this summer.

Jonny will probably miss 3 to 4 weeks, which basically means that he played his last game for PAOK yesterday. Vieirinha will get some playing time going forward. Also I would hope Lucescu gets his head out of his ass and give Gomez and Tsaousis some playing time to help out Sastre, Vieirinha and Baba with some rest for the remainder of the season.

Looks like it will be us against Panathinaikos for the 3rd place.
