Sadly Toumba Stadium is not full. Way too many empty seats.

Yes, there was a 5 Euro general admission for this game. Toumba will be full.

Tough draw. We are definitively not the favorites to advance, but I don't think that is necessarily bad.

2:2 Meite

Again a foul not given on our player which results in a goal for Lyon.

And if it finishes like this we would play either Red Star Belgrade or Genk.

Both of his yellow cards were needless. Really a big blow for PAOK. Not for today's game, but in our next European game.

Konstantelias red card.

Too bad we could not hold the lead until halftime. Also it appeared there was a foul on Konstantelias prior to their goal.

Giakoumakis 1:0

PAE PAOK has requested that UEFA postpone the game on Thursday. UEFA declined to postpone the game.

May they Rest In Peace. January 27 just like October 4 from now on will be remembered as one of the dark days in the PAOK history.

Today a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between PAE PAOK, AS PAOK and the Nest of the Two-Headed Eagle concerning the construction of the new stadium. This opens the door for the application of the needed permits for the project to move forward.

Agree. Tie in those games is always the preferred result. As for Panathinaikos, their team is in disarray and I really think their chances of making the top 4 for the playoffs are not that good. However this might mean that they will give it their all in our two games in the cup. It will be very important for us not to lose the first cup game against them in Athens.

Also with a tie at Lyon we will at least end up in the 9 - 16 position, which would mean that in the playoff game we will play the second leg at Toumba.

The buyout option is 5 mil. Hopefully we can reach a deal with Cruz Azul at around 3 to 3.5 mil. The other stumbling block will be his salary. Right now he is making around 3 mil (we are paying around 1.8 mil and the Mexicans the rest). I don't see us paying him that much if we sign him outright.

Major win against a very good opponent.

The entrance of Konstantelias all the difference in 2nd half.
