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 -------------------------

Welcome to the forums.

Korovesis is back practicing, so he might be able to help. Also Vitor is out due to the red card he got against Iraklis, so I expect Malezas to get a chance.

Tzavellas is a liability. Flirting with a red card in every game. He's also prone to defensive mistakes, just like he did last Sunday.There are better players we can get to play his position, but for now he has a spot on the team due to the lack of other options.

And when we do, the refs take it away.

That's because you include home games. My stats are only for the away games, since that's what Sunday's game is.

Well Berbatov is out, but Mak is back. As far as I know no other injured players are expected to come back. Also Leovac and Mystakidis who played last Sunday were not completely ready either.

There probably is some truth to this, but if the team is run in a professional manner, such issues should be taken care off by the coaching staff. However at PAOK it might be difficult, when the owner's son (and future team owner) publicly claims that he is friends with Tzavellas and has a poster of the player hanging on the wall.

I believe we will lose big on Sunday. Hope I am wrong.

Not sure if he will play another game for PAOK. Maybe at the friendly match commemorating the 90 years of PAOK.

Well I was off by few months.

I am certain that he will not finish the season with the club. Remember that couple weeks ago during a vote it was revealed that Arnesen and Aggelidis voted to keep Tudor at his position, while Michel and Vezyrtzis voted to fire him. Well Aggelidis and Arnesen are gone. Tudor is next.

I think it is 1926 run. The year that PAOK was born. Placed my order for two shirts today.

Savvidis for the past four years takes one step forward and then six month later two steps back. I am now convinced that PAOK will always be stuck in the "village" mentality. When people like Kolkas and the organized fans are able to influence the team decisions, there is no future.

Looks like it's a matter of hours before Arnesen is fired or resigns. He did not attend yesterday's match and did not take part in any top level meetings with Savvidis after the game.

The problem at PAOK is that it's the players that divide the locker room, and some of them have the backing and the support of sleazy PAOK reporters.

Looks like Tudor and possibly Arnesen will be history after tonight. Same story every year for the last 4 years. Savvidis just does not have a clue. As for AE Pontion, their season is complete success. They did not lose to the Turkish visitors (as they like to call us).

PAOK women's handball team won the Greek Cup today beating Nea Ionia 32:31. Now they are ready for the double.

Starting lineup: Hey, no Tziolis!

I am not challenging you. I am just repeating myself. Must be Friday. LOL Anyway if we don't improve our play it does not matter who we play. I remember Atromitos just a few years ago eliminating us from the cup final in Toumba, with Itanje gifting the win to his ex-team.

If this law is actually enforced, which I doubt, it will be interesting to see which of the existing national networks get to keep their licenses: Alpha Antenna Makedonia Mega Skai Star Don't forget that most of these stations have severe financial problems.
