Blackhawk

Because his performance for the money he is getting has been average at best, and if he does not want to give his best effort it might be better if he goes.

I ordered from them in the past. Their service and the merchandise was quality, but as you note it is overpriced, including high shipping rates.

Popovic has been officially loaned to Panserraikos for one year. Reports are that his contract will also be renegotiated and extended. Apparently Arnesen is talking to Costa's agent in order to cut his salary, which is currently the highest on the team.

After yesterday it is 99.99 % certain we will make the Europa league group stage. This should have been one of our goals this season. Any additional progress in Europe this season will be a bonus. It's quite important that we once again make the group stage. Five times in the last six seasons that we made the group stage. This can only be good for our UEFA team standings, which translates in being seeded among the strong teams in the European competitions. For next season we will lose the points from the 2010-2011 season, which was our 2nd best in the last 6 years. That's why we need to accumulate as many points as possible this season in order to offset the poor 2012-2013 season that will still be on the books for 2 additional seasons.

General thread for PAOK (and non) forum fans to talk about anything that's not related to PAOK. I'll start. You guys have any gyro places in Boston that serves pork gyro? We have none in Chicago. Had to make a stop in NYC to get one on my recent trip to Rhode Island.

Nothing to report.

The goals:

mak with his 3 goals today ties Sarafis in 5th place as PAOK highest scorer in European competitions. He and Sarafis have 7 goals: 17 - Klaus 14 - Salpi 9 - Giasemis 8 - Vieirinha 7 - Sarafis 7 - Mak

Kace with a second post in the game. Surprised Mak didn't take the penalty.

5:0 Mak again

Goal Mak 4:0

We need to keep a clean sheet. More important than scoring another goal.

Let's not also forget that five players that we picked up in transfers are not playing today.

Rodrigues 3:0

Veri good half by the team. Could have easily scored two more goals. Couple more in the second half and we are all set.

Beautiful goal by Pelkas.

Post hit by Kace free kick.

Nice play between Pelkas, Konstantinidis and Mak on the goal.

Goooooooool Mak.

Another great chance missed by Mak.

We are dominating so far. We need to score soon, before we get tired.

Unbelievable double chance for PAOK.

Over 20,000 fans are expected tomorrow for the game. Salpi has been ruled out for the game due to injury. Maduro has been left off without any explanation, which would mean he might be history. Here is the squad for the game:
