So far we have sold 3,500 season tickets.

It's obvious Bradonjic is not in the plans for the senior squad. I see him, Kanis and probably some other players being loaned to Panserraikos or Kavala, our unofficial 'B' teams. What I am wondering s why is Dantas still on that list?

Latest rumor is that Kotarski is on the list of possible acquisitions by Bayern Munich.

Game highlites:

Latest rumor is that PAOK is talking to CSKA Moscow about acquiring Colombian Jorge Carrascal for 4.5 mil which would give PAOK 50% ownership of the player. Samatta had to reschedule his flight to Thessaloniki and will now show up later than expected on Saturday (today).

They are saving Augusto for the return game against Beitar since we don't have many options in his position. He will miss the first one due to a red card ban.

Emmanoulidou finishes in 5th place in the final of 100m. Her time 11.40.

Maria Despolari gets the bronze medal in the 800 m final with 2:04.14

The team is coming back from Holland on Monday, so it would be useless for him to go there.

Good results in the full first day of the U23 European Championships: Emmanoulidou qualified to the final thanks to having the 6th best time (11.32) in the semifinals. She will need to do much better to medal in the final. In the men's hammer throw two of our athletes (Dousakis with 70.08 and Polychroniou with 68.36) made it to the final. Korakidis (66.09) did not make it. In men's discus throw, Bouzakis (53.44) qualified to the final. Pavlidis (53.05) failed to qualify. Pavlidis has been an utter disappointment since his national record throw of 64.90 back in the USA earlier this year. Despolari qualified to the finals of 800 meters with best qualifying time of all participants with 2:04.53. Retsa qualified to the pole vault final with a jump of 4.10 Dragomirova is in 18th place in the heptathlon after the first day. Also failing to make the finals are Stamatinikolas in long jump with 7.03, Kosmidou in hammer throw with 61.11, Karydi (12.88) and Rapti (12.49) in triple jump.

The friendly is against Al Taawoun on Saturday. Apparently it's a practice game behind closed doors (no TV coverage). I think all the second stringers will get to play in that one. The starters will play next day against Westerlo, which will serve as a last test before our European match against Beitar Jerusalem.

Apparently we reached a deal with Mbwana Samatta for 2+1 years. The player is expected in Thessaloniki on Thursday. One option agreed is that we will not sell the player to a Turkish club in the future.

3:2 final

3:2 with own goal by Giaxis.

Tragic mistake by Kotarski and 3:1

Zivkovic 3:0

pash we are playing Genk, not Go Ahead Eagles. 2:0 halftime

Quite a few fans watching the game too.

2:0 Schwab

1:0 with Tsiggaras
