Tsitsipas reached the semis after a 6-3, 6-2 win over German Alexander Zverev. First he has to face Nadal in MD 3 in his group.

Chris, Next season we have 1+1+3 like this year. The ranking always is one year ahead otherwise FA’s won’t know at the beginning of the season or even at the end what is at stake. So the final ranking of the 2018/2019 determined the spots for the 2020/2021 European season. The final ranking after this season determins the spots for the 2021/2022-season with the new format (CL, EL and EL2). Greg, we can salvage #15 if Olympiakos make it to the semis or so. But Scotland is in pole position with Celtic (qualified for last 32 in EL already) and Rangers doing so well.

Vrousai is injured at this moment. Therefore he did not play last Sunday either.

Stoiximan extended their sponsorship with us for another three years: http://www.metrosport.gr/article/cheri-cheri-paok-ke-stoiximan-gia-alla-tria-chronia

Tsitsipas is playing at the ATP Finals in London for the first time. Tsitsipas won his first game against Medvedev: 7-6, 6-4.

Zisis Chatzistravos scored for Karaiskakis today.

Last qualifying match for EURO 2020. For the Ethniki another “friendly that matters” against an opponent with hopes to qualify.

Armenia still has hope to qualify for the first time for a major tournament. Good opportunity for Van ‘t Schip to prepare the Ethniki under the pressure of a team that is eager to win.

FT 0-1 !!!!

I have read that it was close to a sold out.

Limnios will play and Swiderski too. Therefore Vieirinha and Akpom in the bench.

According to metrosport we will start with: Zivkovic Matos - Ingason - Crespo - Giannoulis Misic - Augusto El Kaddouri - Biseswar - Vieirinha Akpom I don’t understand why he is leaving Limnios out of the starting 11 as he is playing very well the last weeks. Maybe to please Vieirinha. I think we should be carefull with him and don’t start him. Just sub him in in ‘46 and start him against Doxa to get used to play more than a half game and sub him out in ‘70 or so. We don’t need another backdraft.

Our former coach Heinz Höher passed away yesterday at the age of 80. He was almost two years our coach (1981-1983).

Wednesday November 13 we will play a friendly against Doxa Drama at 17:00 EEST. More info to come. I guess it is organised to give the Lamprou's, Jaba's and Rodrigo's of our team the playing-time they lack.

Lamprou is added at the last moment as Swiderski is a questionmark because of fever.

Another goal today in the EL against Astana. A strike from a distance and 0-4. Score is now 0-5 with a few minutes left.

My "Friends" of 020 got a bit of karma yesterday. I do not watch their games - unless it is against us - so I can not judge about their complaints but I feel very very veeeeeeerrrrrryyyy sorry this happened to them. You can call me Pinocchio this week........

Lamia released Markos Vellidis. The soap-opera started after the game against us in Toumba.

Spanked with 3-0. 2-0 at HT with both goals from the penaltyspot. The lads need a "remontada" in the return.

As long as you don't call our Scotsman an Englishman it will be alright, I guess.

Hail to the Halifi !!

Varela is a former international for Cape Verde from now on. He announced his retirement after 51 caps and 3 goals.

Good Vincic watched himself at the tv-screen.
