Started to watch the game on Laola, but could not stand to watch the whole game. Pathetic. if can't beat Albania and lose to Israel at home, you have no right to speak about qualifying from this group.

UEFA/FIFA never came out spelling what the exact consequences will be. All they did was sent a warning that there will be some if the cup competition is not played.

I hope UEFA/FIFA and IOC bans all our teams and athletes. Nothing better than one corrupted organization punishing other corrupted organizations. As it is I think this "UEFA will ban our teams from Europe" is nothing but a scare tactic used by EPO every time they are under pressure. For once I would really like the government to push the issue all the way through.

Let's not forget that Marinakis is a share holder (20%) in SKAI TV. Marinakis and Alafouzos are working together more than we think, although publicly they are projecting the image of bitter enemies.

Looks like Savvidis finally realized that people he tries to work with will eventually stab him in the back. I think Marinakis and Alafouzos are working together (after all they are business partners at SKAI TV) to keep the current status quo that benefits both. Alafouzos, the snake that he is will try to get the most out of this at PAOK's and AEK's expense. Just like he did with the -15 points 2 years ago. As a result he will get his ticket to CL qualifying I also believe Kontonis lost the plot, and eventually will be replaced by Tsipras, as I think Marinakis is putting pressure on Tsipras. The result of it all will be that the cup will be played, and PAOK will suffer in the end as usual. Worst of all, nothing will be done to change state of Greek soccer.

One of the greatest players of all time, Johan Cruyff, died of cancer today at the age of 68. Player for Ajax and Barcelona during his best years, as well as the great Dutch national team in 1970's. Later played few seasons in NASL, before returning to Holland to finish his career at Ajax and Feyenoord. He was a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer. He apparently smoked 5 packs of cigarettes a day. Heard Antoniadis on radio today saying that during the Wembley final in 1971 he saw Cruyff smoke one cigarette after another on the bench during half-time. Cruyff at Toumba in 1973 with Koudas.

After today's EPO decision, the situation is as follows: STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 27 4. Panionios - 41 5. PAOK - 39 ----------------------- 6. PAS Giannina 35 7. Platanias 35 ROUND 28 Levadeiakos - PAS Giannina Panionios - PAOK Platanias - Xanthi ROUND 29 PAOK - Levadeiakos AEK - Panionios PAS Giannina - Platanias ROUND 30 Xanthi - PAS Giannina Platanias - PAOK Panionios - Atromitos If the playoff started today, the initial standings would be: 1. AEK 3 2. PAO 2 3. Panionios 0 4. PAOK 0

Today's meeting between Kontonis and the bif 4 was cancelled, when Marinakis informed Kontonis that he is not showing up. Once the snake heard this, he showed up for the meeting. Savvidis travelled all the way from Russia for the meeting and was pissed off that it did not take place. If I was him, I woul tell Kontonis and the other clowns to not bother him again.

BTW originally we received a 6 (3+3) point deduction, which was a result of a punishment for two separate incidents in the game. In the end EPO combined the two and gave as a 1 point credit, resulting in 5 points. What a ###### joke. PAOK needs to appeal this decision. I think in the end we will end with -3 points (I hope). Can someone remember what happened in the two games against Kalloni and Panionios in order to deserve 2 game bans? I don't remember a thing.

Here it is in detail: 1 game ban, 6,000 Euro fine for the cup game against AEL Kalloni 1 game ban, 6,000 Euro fine for the cup game against Panionios 3 game ban, 100,000 Euro fine, and -5 point deduction for the cup game against Olympiakos TOTAL: 5 game ban, 112,000 Euro fine, -5 point deduction

Oh BTW Jairo re-injured himself during practice today, so we don't know when he will be back.

Both NT games (Montenegro/Iceland) will be televised live in Greece by OTE Sport 1 HD. The Montenegro game will also be shown on Arena Sport 3 in the former Yugoslav Republics, while the Iceland game will also be televised by RUV Sjonvarpid in Iceland. No coverage of both games anywhere else as far as I know. Also the U-21 game against Albania tomorrow will be broadcast by the Albanian channel SuperSport 2.

Four players are at the yellow card limit, and will need to get carde in the next two games so they could enter the playoffs clear: Klaus and Leovac have 6 cards and need to get carded in the Panionios game so they can sit out the last two regular season games Cimirot and pelkas have 3 cards and need to get carded in the Panionios or Levadeiakos, so they can sit out the last game of the season. Cimitor is injured, so I am not sure if he will get the chance to do that.

Just like with any area of the world, Greece has beautiful women, but also ugly ones. One turn off for me with Greek women is the excessive use of makeup.

NEVER B) I don't think Cimirot will be ready for the game. Kitsiou is available, and I expect him to play over Skondras.

On Thursday, Savvidis will have a meeting with Marinakis, Melissanidis and Kontonis to discuss the future of Greek soccer. Alafouzos is boycotting the meeting. Should be interesting.

Jairo should be ready for Panionios. Mak has one more games left in his suspension. Berbatov should be ready for the last two games, and he will be needed, because Klaus needs to get a yellow card in the Panionios game, so he can sit out the last two games and then be clean for the playoffs. By the end of the season most if not all players should be ready for action.

The Football League games are streamed legally on Laola1.TV. That's why the quality is great. Same with the PAOK Superleague home games and Greek Cup games.

I don't think they will take 6 points from us. I think it will be 3 points. There is also a chance that AEK will get deducted 3 points. Additionally, Panionios and possibly Giannina might not receive a license to play in the playoffs, so it could really become a big mess.

Well it's not the gamias we are after. Rumors are we are looking at the attacking midfielder Yeni Ngbakoto. What I fail to understand is that we are going after players, even though we don't have a coach for next season. Have we not learned anything from the last 4 seasons? What kind of F*** logic is that?

After Round 27 results, AEK has mathematically secured a spot in the playoffs. Panathinaikos will lose a spot only if the lose all their remaining three games. I also think Tripoli and Levadeikaos are pretty much out of it. With that in mind: STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 27 4. PAOK - 44 5. Panionios - 41 ----------------------- 6. PAS Giannina 35 7. Platanias 35 ROUND 28 Levadeiakos - PAS Giannina Panionios - PAOK Platanias - Xanthi ROUND 29 PAOK - Levadeiakos AEK - Panionios PAS Giannina - Platanias ROUND 30 Xanthi - PAS Giannina Platanias - PAOK Panionios - Atromitos If the playoffs tarted today, the initial standings would be: 1. AEK 2 2. PAO 1 3. PAOK 1 4. Panionios 0

The big test is our next game against a very good Panionios team. That's where we will see if we have turned things around.

Well the hearing was last Thursday and the verdict es expected by the end of this week. My prediction is that it will be -3 points, 4 to 6 games in empty Toumba and a a massive monetary fine.

We must not lose to Panionios and win our last two games an we will be ok.
