Dutch Eagle

Lyratzis is flying to Lublin too for just in case. A player - not Kenny according to the media - might be too injured to play or sit on the bench. We'll see. Our initial squad: Παβλένκα , Τσιφτσής, Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Αρίτζ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Τέιλορ, Γκόμεζ, Θυμιάνης, Σανταμαρία, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλιας, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Άλι, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Μύθου, Γερεμέγεφ.

Travelling to Lublin for our first official game this season : Παβλένκα , Τσιφτσής, Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Αρίτζ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Τέιλορ, Γκόμεζ, Θυμιάνης, Σανταμαρία, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλιας, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Άλι, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Μύθου, Γερεμέγεφ. Will you be so kind to make the topic for the Dynamo Kyiv awaygame with logo's, @Blackhawk?

We had this type of stripes before. I remember we wore them against Feyenoord in the friendly I attended at De Kuip with Koutsias and Tzolis (pen.) scoring. I like the kits with 7 or 8 stripes like we had last year. Only need to fix that back and front-stripes are matched and not "a mess" at the shoulders.

I am afraid not, fearless leader. We need to survive three rounds. After EL Q3 there is the play-off in EL or CoL. Having said that we better play Anderlecht as we take their coefficient if we fall to CoL and as that is 30.750 we would still be seeded. If we face Hammarby and drop to CoL we will have their coefficient of 6.000 and will be unseeded with possible opponents as Atalanta, Braga, Freiburg, Monaco, Copenhagen, Brighton to name a few. A nightmare draw awaits in that case.

2836 season tickets sold on day 1. I can not recall these huge numbers in past years.

I think that Hammarby is tougher at this moment as it is summer and they are second in the Allsvenskan. Anderlecht has no big names going through their roster. Therefore I think we will meet the Swedes as I have a feeling that we will beat Dynamo Kyiv. The ultimate banana skin.

If we lose in EL Q2 and demote to the Conference League we will face the loser of Qarabag vs CSKA Sofia in CoL Q3. First leg at home.

For the Europa League it is first a home leg against Hammarby or Anderlecht.

If we are demoted to the Conference League we are seeded and face one of: Losers of pairing HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) - Pafos FC (CYP) Losers of pairing FC St. Gallen 1879 (SUI) - SL Benfica (POR) Losers of pairing Qarabağ FK (AZE) - PFC CSKA Sofia (BUL) Winners of pairing NK Aluminij (SVN) - FC Dinamo City (ALB)

The unseeded in our group for the EL-draw this afternoon: Winners of Pairing 3 Hammarby IF (SWE) - RSC Anderlecht (BEL) Winners of Pairing 4 HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) - Pafos FC (CYP) Jagiellonia Białystok (POL) Winners of Pairing 5 Tromsø IL (NOR) - FC Hradec Králové (CZE)

The sale of season tickets starts Monday 20th of July. It will be for another last season in Toumba. Well I went in 2023 to say farewell to Toumba in a match against the worms so I am not convinced yet. Especially since there is not even the slightest beginning of making our new stadium. Buyers of season tickets have the opportunity to buy season tickets first for the new "Double Eagle's Nest". Smart marketing to mention that, though it has always been the case that season tickets holders can renew before the sale for the leftovers begin.

It is not a shame. It is smart. We have more options/players we can field. List make me smile. Just say the names of the first two players of the A list.....

Matches will be broadcasted by OPEN. Don't know if it is available outside Greece.

Chatzidiakos signed for us. He will wear jersey #4. He is the third player to play for my two favorite clubs (PAOK and AZ). Maurice van Ham and the great Maarten Martens being the other two.
