Penalty for PAOK.

1:1 Rodrigues

Berbatov in for Konstantinidis.

And we keep missing clear cut chances to score.

And here it is. AEK 1:0

0:0 half-time. Time for Berbatov.

Unfortunately that is usually the case.

Sounds like we are dominating. Need to score one though.

Some idiot threw firecracker on the field. It's very likely we will be punished 1 game without fans according to new rules and that will be either against Olympiakos or Panathinaikos. On top of that it throws our game completely off.

Unless Kace is hurt, he must play tomorrow. There might be some other issues concerning the player. Hope not.

Apparently Tudor is considering the following lineup: ------------------------ Olsen ------------------------ --- Vitor ------------- Costa ------- Tzavellas -- Kosntantinidis -- Tziolis -- Sabo --Rodrigues -------- Pelkas -------------------------- Mak ------ ------------------------ Klaus ------------------------- Kind of surprised if he really goes with this lineup. Specially Sabo instead of Kace. It would have probably made more sense if he sat Tziolis and played Sabo with Kace. I also really thought that Berbatov would get the start. On top of everything the ref of the game Sidiropoulos (one of the very few good refs) could not leave Rhodos today and there is a big chance he might not make it to Thessaloniki to call the game. Let's see what kind of fruit will end up calling this game.

It's a 2- year deal. The base amount is 1.4 mil and with bonuses it can get up to 2 mil per season. One of the bonuses is if Berbatov plays a certain amount of competitive games for PAOK. Also if we win the championship, cup and make the Round of 32 in EL there will be additional bonuses.

pash I don't see Tudor playing Berbatov and Klaus together. That will be an unlikely pairing even in future when both are 100%. I think he will start Berbatov and will replace him with Klaus in 2nd half.

That's Christina Moustaka that used to be part of the Radio Arvyla TV show.

I like the striped one. Will probably get one with Berbatov on it. I also like the camouflage one. Something different. That one is most likely intended for the younger PAOK fans. Good marketing move by PAOK. I know my son will get one of those. There will also be a fourth jersey that will be unveiled in January 2016 to commemorate the 90 year anniversary of PAOK.

Apparently we are looking at the 22-year old Cypriot defensive mid Konstantinos Laifis from Anorthosis. Cypriot press is saying we made a 400K offer for the player.

Never too early to start the rumor mill going.

15,000 tickets have been sold so far for the game. Still no sign if the game will be televised in the US or Australia.

PAOK's new and official jerseys will be unveiled tomorrow and will be used for the first time in the game with AEK. It's expected that the jersey sponsor (SportingBet) will be first used in that game as well.

Kace being back in the lineup will be great help for our midfield. He was really missed in the Qabala game.

Berbatov will start in this game, which most likely means Klaus will sit this one out. Don't like the experiment with Kitsiou playing the left side. Few times Tudor tried this, Kitsiou was poor. As for Pelkas, I hope Tudor had few words with him to bring him down to earth as he did with Mystakidis earlier. I would still start him though, since he was playing greatso far.

I still think the 2 points we dropped might come back and haunt us in the end. I only hope that Qabala cuts points from Krasnodar as well, and then the 2nd place will be decided in our two games against the Russians.

Just in time for the elections a news skit by the Radio Arvyla guys: And video concerning the previous elections:

We must get 4 points in our next two games. I highly doubt if we can do that. I am afraid we will not qualify to the next round.

Bad result. 1. Dortmund - 3 2. PAOK - 1 3. Qabala - 1 4. Krasnodar - 0 Upcoming games: PAOK - Dortmund Krasnodar - Qabala
