Blackhawk

My prediction for a lineup: ----------------- Kotarski ---------------- Satsre - Ingason - Koulierakis - Soares R. ------- Augusto -------- Dantas --------- Zivkovic A. ---- Konstantelias ---- Taison ---------------- Thomas -----------------

2022 - 2023 Season: Round 27 (26.05.2023, 15:15 EEST - Makedonikos Stadium, Efkarpia) PAOK 'B' Thessaloniki - PO Triglia Iraklis TV: ERT3 TV (Greece), ERT3 Web TV via ERTFlix (worldwide with VPN)

I am sure most if not all players have a bonus clause in their contract in case the win the cup. That should be big enough incentive to win. Bad part is that AEK players have the same clause in their contracts. In my opinion AEK is a slight favorite to win this time. It's been more than 40 years for them to win a double.

The only questionable player is Oliveira. It will be decided tomorrow if he will get on the bus to Volos. Don't see him starting though. Of course Narey is out until next season.

I heard Austria is very likely destination.

Almopos - PAOK 'B' 0:0

Hopefully you can get a chance to see PAOK's last game of the season and the title fiesta that will follow the game: On Saturday, may 20 at 16:00 EEST, PAOK's women team will play it's final game of the season at Toumba Stadium against OFI. Immediately after the game a fiesta will be held at the stadium to celebrate the national title that the team won. Attendance for the game and the fiesta is free.

Police decided not to allow youngsters into the stadium, so the game will be seen live by 40 PAOK/AEK officials and 50 invitees by EPO. Total attendance for the game: 90 people What a joke. How low can Greek football get.

Kargas is a decent player, but he is not to be a starter on PAOK and he was not acquired to be a starter. He was bought to be a backup. The players who would replace Crespo were Nasberg and Michailidis, but Michailidis sustained a serious injury. Eventually Koulierakis grabbed the chance to claim a spot on the team and we ended up with 3 players for one spot. It looks like we are trying to unload one of them (Kargas). I don't thing getting red-carded should be the main reason for being dropped from the team.

2022 - 2023 Season: Round 26 (19.05.2023, 16:00 EEST - Dimotiko Stadio, Aridaia ) Almopos Aridaia - PAOK 'B' Thessaloniki TV: no coverage

Latest rumors: Players whose contracts expire and will not be renewed: Biseswar, El Kaddouri, Kurtic, Oliveira Players that the team will try to unload (even if they have contracts): Kargas, Murg, Ninua Players that will probably stay: Dantas (loan extension) Thomas (PAOK will exercise the 1 year option in the contract) Unknown fate: Vieirinha (depends on what he decides) Zivkovic Zivko (contract expires) Talichmanidis (contract expires) Possible sales: I expect one of the Koulierakis, Konstantelias to be sold

No fans. PAOK and AEK will get 20 invitations each. EPO will get 50 to give out to sponsors. There was a talk of allowing student under 13 to attend for free, but I have not heard if they agreed to that.

There is a PAOK 'B' team which plays in the 3rd division, which the team won. However as a 'B' team they are not allowed to qualify to the 2nd division.

What a disappointing result. For the second straight season the team just does not have the ability to compete in the playoffs. The most glaring weakness is goal scoring. As for the Greek Cup final. Let's hope the AEK players keep celebrating at bouzoukia and won't take the final too seriously for us to have any chances of winning it. We are clearly the underdogs in that game.

Good for the youngsters. That's a revenge for last year's robbery.

Not watching the game, but I kind of expected the scoreline. If we are lucky we will tie it up.

Hope I am wrong, but I don't see us winning tomorrow. Not with Greek ref calling the game. I see this game ending in a tie. 0:0 or 1:1.

PAOK U15 team defeated Panathinaikos 2:0 in the semifinal of the U15 Superleague competition played at the Panthessaliko Stadium in Volos. We will now face Olympiakos on Sunday in the final for the title.

Taison will most likely be saved for the cup final, even if he is fit to play. This will be a tough game as Olympiakos is playing for two result. We must win and will not be easy.

Only one result is beneficial to PAOK and that is a win even if it is only 1:0. With a win we finish in 3rd place and secure Europa League spot thanks also to being in the cup final. With any other result we finish in 4th place and we will need to win the cup in order to secure Europa League. Hopefully some of our injured players will be back for this game.

Latest possible venue for the cup is Zaglebie, Poland. Final decision is supposed to be taken on Friday. President of Superleague is doing everything possible to discredit the Greek Cup final, since it is not under his control.

There are no longer COVID rules. The one day delay was decided by the fat owner (and president of Superleague) of Olympiakos. This has nothing to do with COVID or the health of the players. It has to do with power struggle for the control of Greek football. That's why we still don't know where and when the Greek Cup final will be played.

Easy win. Now if we can beat Olympiakos on Sunday for the 3rd place. In the other games. Aris - AEK 1:2 Olympiakos - Panathinaikos 1:0 With these results AEK is pretty much guaranteed to win the Superleague title next Sunday.

0:2 Thomas Very nice goal after an assist by Schwab
