Blackhawk

Very tricky game, and it has a great bearing on the cup game that follows on Wednesday. The chance of a red card on PAOK player(s) is a big possibility. That's why I am not surprised that EPO (ie Marinakis) has appointed the kamikaze Aretopoulos as the ref for the game. If I was Tudor, I would bench some of our important players, but unfortunately we need a good result in this game as well.

Giannou was sold by Tripoli to some Chinese team for 2.2 million Euro. He will get 1 mil Euro salary.

I like it too. I've seen Paridis do a live version of the official Ymnos on TV once and it was a great version. I only wish a youtube footage of that existed. I think it was on a Christmas program by ERT3 about a decade ago.

Deligiannidis and Savvidis are being sent out to Slovakian team Zemplin Michalovce for tryout, and if the two team agree both players will finish the season on loan there.

PAOK Eisai Enas (Pontiako) Singer: Takis Papadopoulos More to come ... Post any PAOK related songs that you find out there.

Of course there are countless PAOK Pontiaka. here are few of them: PAOK Timimene (Pontiako) PAOK PAOKARA Ole Ole Ole (Pontiako)

More older PAOK songs O PAOK tis Evropis PAOK Sygkopi

Couple older PAOK songs: O PAOK Se Mia Nyxta Eeinai Tropaiouxos PAOK To Emvlyma Sou

Couple of my favorite PAOK related songs are the following: PAOK Dirlada Dirladada and Aspromavri Fanela Singer: Polys Kermanidis

Another song that sometimes reffered tou as PAOK Ymnos is the song Dikefale Aete sung by the great PAOK player from the 70's Dimitris Paridis, who passed away recently. It's a great song, sometimes also called PAOK Ymnos tou Paridi Dikefale Aete Singer: Dimitris Paridis

Two songs by the great Apostolis Nikolaidis are sometimes wrongly presented as PAOK Ymnos. They are not, but despite that they are great PAOK songs: Maggia Mou Pou Mai PAOKtsis Singer: Apostolis Nikolaidis Eimaste Trelli Singer Apostolos Nikolaidis

What's been missing from the PAOK forum is a topic about PAOK songs. There are many old and new songs out there. Some of them are classics, and some of them (mostly the new ones) are just plain (in my opinion). In this topic we can post all the PAOK related songs that we can find. Let's start with the official "YMNOS" of PAOK. There are several songs that claim to be the PAOK Ymnos, but there is only one official PAOK Ymnos, and it is this one: San Tou PAOK Tin Omada Singer: Petros Garonis

On February 28, PAOK majority shareholder Ivan Savvidis will be visiting New York City and will have a meeting with the PAOK Fan Club members located on 31-25 23rd Avenue (2nd floor) at 3:00 pm local time.

Kace can start talking to other clubs in December 2016. he will probably sign a contract extension by them in my opinion.

The Hawk will have you and your bananas for breakfast. :D

Playoffs are after the cup final.

Antonis had one good pass but did not have time to show anything else. Nice to see the team come back from being down 2 goals. Can only be good for the upcoming games. Next Saturday is an important game. It's a must win.

Tudor is apparently going with a 3-5-2 formation: ----------------=------- Vellidis ----------------------- --- Chatziisaias ---- Malezas ---- Tzavellas --- Kitsiou - Cimirot - Pelkas - Charisis - Leovac ------------ Mak ---------------- Mystakidis --------

That's good news. Let's see if Dishnetwork will take them back.

Worst possible draw. Not only do we play Olympiakos, we play the second game at Karaiskaki. First game on March 2. The return leg on April 6 or 7. If Olympiakos qualifies to next stage of Europa League, than that date will move back. let's hope so we can get as many injured players back as we can get. First game in two weeks. None of our forwards (Klaus, Berbatov) and wings (Jairo, Rodrigues) will be back for that one. It will be important to finish this game without conceding a goal. Even if it ends up 0:0. The other possible problem is the fact that we might have to play this game without fans, as we will definitively get punished for the incident in the PAOK - Atromitos game. The timing of the hearing in that case is important and will determine which game we will have to play without fans.

If we by a miracle don't lose on Sunday that will be a big bonus. We have a very important game next week against Tripoli. That will be a must win game. Hopefully some of the injured players will be slowly returning. Following the Tripoli game we have a fairly easy (on paper) games until the rest of the season. That should be enough to collect points to place us in the top five. Then in the playoffs anything is possible.

Draw fro the semifinals is taking place tomorrow at 12:30 Greek Time. The only team I want to avoid is Olympiakos.

I mentioned Malezas above, but I am fairly sure that Tudor will play Tzavellas instead as CB. I also hope Mystakidis is able to play. Otherwise we have no offense to speak off. Possible lineup: ---------------------- Vellidis ---------------------- Kitsiou - Chatziisaias - Tzavellas - Leovac -------- Cimirot --------------- Kace ------------- Mystakidis ------ Pelkas ------------- Golasa ----------------------- Mak -------------------------
