CNN posted 35 amazing sports pictures on their web site. Here are some of them:

That might be the case, since Ivic said that he can't play 3 games straight in one week. However I think there might be another reason, why Ivic likes to put him in the 2nd half. By that time the opponent's midfield line is getting tired, and it is easier for Biseswar to use his technical skill to the fullest. That being said, it's quite obvious that we are a different team when he is on the pitch.

I saw about 60 minutes of the game. We were quite unlucky. The first goal was silly defensive mistake. Then we were pressing them to tie it up and on counter they scored the second one. At the end we had two great chances to score, but looks like the kids took lessons from out senior team not being able to convert. Having said that, it was quite obvious that the Ajax academy team was one class better. We had the passion, but they had the technical skills. Still this is a good experience for the youngsters.

He'll probably start Klaus. My lineup for the game: ------------------ Glykos ---------------- Matos - Varela - Tzavelas - Leovac ----- Canas ----------- Cimirot -------- Mystakidis -- Biseswar -- Rodrigues ---------------- Pereyra ----------------- But I think Ivic will go with: ------------------ Glykos ---------------- Matos - Crespo - Tzavelas - Leovac ----- Canas ----------- Cimirot -------- Mystakidis -- Shakhov -- Rodrigues ----------------- Klaus - -----------------

Superleague changed the kick-off time from 15:00 to 17:15 EET.

Looks like Campos is out due to injury. I want to see Biseswar, Mystakidis and Perayra in the starting lineup.

Well let's see if we can finally eliminate a Dutch team from European competition.

Must win. If we do even if we lose to Fiorentina we play Slovan Liberec at home in the last game. By that time Liberec will be eliminated and the Czech league will already be on Winter break.

I don't think it has been decided, but I think it will be more than four. The new bidding process has not been declared yet, since the E.S.R. board has not been formed yet. This is a big political game between ND and Syriza right now.

The law that awarded the 4 licenses was deemed unconstitutional by the courts because according to the constitution only E.S.R. (Ethniko Symvoulio Tileorasis) is responsible for awarding broadcast licenses for private radio and television stations. However since 2015 E.S.R. was temporarily disbanded by the Syriza government, and any moves to elect a new 9 member board was blocked by New Democracy. basically E.S.R. became a political tool by the two parties. While this was going on Syriza decided to run a bidding process for 4 national television licences. This happened few month ago, but now the courts decided this move was unconstitutional and now a new bidding process will have to take place under the auspices of E.S.R. In the meantime it is rumored that until the new bidding process takes place there will be 6 national television stations operating with a temporary license. Allegedly they are the four that won the licenses in the bidding process (ANT1, Skai, Alter Ego, Dimera) as well as the two that did not win (Alpha and Star). They will need to pay around 7 million Euro in licensing fee to operate. Let's see if this will happen.

I think this is a non-story. I don't see us going for Stoch despite the fact that a countryman of his is the Technical Director of the team. I think a bigger possibility is for us to get Vierinha instead of Stoch.

No kidding. Notice that the intruder is already pre-wired with a microphone. Got to make sure all the audio is captured by the Raptopoulos Enterprises. Like the show title says everything for a "Marmita"

That's what I heard. Could be just BS to make themselves look good. Who knows.

Olympiakos was fine 26K for the silly smoke bombs. I expect a heavier fine, including fan ban. Also from what I heard, the fan that threw the flare was apparently beat up by gate 4 fanatics. As for the ball crossing the line. All indications are that it crossed the line after watching countless replays. Linesman made a mistake and as noted above he was in a bad position to begin with. I don't think it was on purpose as a lot of AEK fans are claiming. Anyway only 5 minutes earlier on the other side the sideline ref did not give corner kick to PAOK even though the ball was touched by Anestis after Rodrigues shot. It's silly to make such a big deal about minor mistakes like this. if you really want to see crooked refreeing you should have watchd the Atromitos - Olympiakos game. Talk about influencing the result of the game.

This was a must win game. Happy ending in the end. Big win.

Biseswar warming up. About time.

And BTW Klaus needs to be subbed as well. He is non-existant in the game. Bring in Pereyra. Don't know why Ivic insist on playing Shakhov as dekari. That's not his position. Biseswar needs to be starting every game. It's obvious AEK came in to defend and rely on counter and our midfield just helps them playing their game.

0:0 half time. Free kick by Leovac and Cimirot header the only chance by PAOK. AEK had a great chance to score in the last seconds of the half. Otherwise not a single chance. Biseswar and Mystakidis need to come in.

I would too, but we all know Klaus will start.

Looks like everyone practiced today except for Pelkas. That includes Tzavellas. I wonder if he will get a start, but considering he is the owner's son best friend he will start. Lineup I expect Ivic will use: ---------------- Glykos ----------------- Matos - Varela - Tzavellas - Leovac ------- Canas ----------- Cimirot ------- Mystakidis -- Biseswar -- Rodrigues ------------- Athanasiadis --------------
