Don't see this game ending well.

Canas red card and penalty for Atromitos. 3:2

Shakhov in for injured Pelkas. 3:1 Mystakidis

We are sitting back and letting them get back into the game. We need to score a 3rd goal.

I think Biseswar will come in for Pelkas.

2:1 just like that

Klaus has the flu. Rodrigues is injured and that was the reason he was subbed by Mystakidis.

It will be played mid-week before Christmas according to a report I heard on radio.

What is Koulouris missing? Got to score on a chance like that.

2:0 Koulouris

Brkic in.

Well he got his new contract in his pocket. Time to relax now.

Rodrigues 1:0

Starting lineup:

EPO did not pay for this. Superleague did on the advice of Forthnet (Novasport), that wants to see a more competitive league. Of interest are the other findings by Delloite: Between 2010 - 2016 Superleague revenue declined by 84% Between 2009 - 2016 tickets sales dropped 48% Between 2009 - 2016 TV revenue declined 13%

Tzavellas is sick with the flu and did not travel to Italy. I have to assume that Malezas will get a start.

Ajax - PAOK 2:1 in the return match in Holland. PAOK goal scored by Dimitriou.

We will not get smashed. Historically we never do against big teams in Europe. And I don't expect any different this time around. If we lose it's going to be 1:0 or 2:1. Pareyra will stay in Thessaloniki as he injured himself in practice. With Klaus banned by UEFA, and depending who you listen to also by PAOK, we have a problem in the forward position. As Bananas points out we are left with Koulouris and Thiam. I don't think it makes that much difference who starts. I expect us to play a defensive game and rely on counters using the speed of Rodrigues and Campos. The big qquestion is who will start as dekari. Will it be Biseswar or Pelkas. Hope Ivic does not do something stupid such as using Shakhov in that position. With that in mind, here is my lineup: ------------------ Glykos ---------------- Matos - Varela - Tzavellas - Leovac ------ Canas ------------- Cimirot ----- Campos --- Biseswar --- Rodrigues -------------- Koulouris ---------------- Players travelling to Italy: Γλύκος, Μπρκιτς, Λέοβατς, Λέο Μάτος, Κίτσιου, Τζαβέλλας, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Κάνιας, Χαρίσης, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Μπίσεσβαρ, Πέλκας, Μυστακίδης, Τιάμ, Ροντρίγκες, Κάμπος, Κουλούρης

New Radio Arvyla season started with some great skits. Of course the US elections and the Obama visit to Greece could not go unnoticed:

Consulting firm Deloitte presented their findings concerning the future of Superleague, and came out with the following suggestions: Let's see if people at Superleague take any of these suggestions into account.

Glykos and Cimirot extended their contracts until June 2019. According to reports the financial details are as follows: Glykos - 500K per season with 4.5 mil Euro buyout option Cimirot - 500K per season with 6 mil Euro buyout option

PAOK has to go to Italy and try steal the game. Ivic should look at how PAOK beat Dortmund last season in Germany. The good thing is that Klaus is not available for the game, as he would be useless in a game when a team is trying to steal a game. Ivic should rely on players with speed (Rodrigues, Campos) and counter attacks to try and get a result. Main thing is for PAOK not to lose, and hope that Qarabag does not get points in Liberec. Game will be on ESPN3 here in US, so we can all watch the game and then go stuff out guts with turkey.

Friendly against Panserraikos tomorrow at 15:00 EET. It's an official friendly (tickets sold, etc.) as opposed to the last week's one against Agrotikos Asteras (4:0). Glykos, Klaus and Leovac will sit this one out. Glyskos and Leovac to rest for the Fiorentina game, while Klaus has a minor injury.
