Dutch Eagle

Well maybe it is not exactly 100 years ago...... We had the Julian calender that days. After the Gregorian calender was introduced it suddenly was August 18th. Same happend with the Russian October Revolution. They remember it overthere on November 7th nowadays.......

Her is the "parakamera" from Olimpik('s point of view):

And counting. 9,030 season tickets so far.

Today is exactly 100 years ago that a great part of Thessaloniki's centre was destroyed by fire.

Saw in the Dutch media that defender Mattias Johansson of AZ Alkmaar signed a three year contract at Pana. He played 5,5 years at AZ (129 games, 6 goals). Not a bad player, but he works hard. Has a lot of injuries and suspencions as I recall. Hence the 129 games where AZ plays mostly 50+ games a year.

After yesterday's game these are our alltime scorers in Europe: Αναλυτικά η λίστα των «ευρωπαίων» σκόρερ του Δικεφάλου: 20 γκολ: Αθανασιάδης 14 γκολ: Σαλπιγγίδης 11 γκολ: Μακ 10 γκολ: Γιασεμάκης 8 γκολ: Βιεϊρίνια 6 γκολ: Φραντζέσκος, Σαράφης 5 γκολ: Κωνσταντινίδης, Μαραγκός, Δημόπουλος 4 γκολ: Οκκάς, Λουτσιάνο, Κωστίκος, Σκαρτάδος, Ίβιτς, Ροντρίγκεζ 3 γκολ: Ασλανίδης, Τερζανίδης, Παρίδης, Κερμανίδης, Ζαγοράκης, Γεωργιάδης, Φρούσος, Καμπς, Μουσλίμοβιτς, Φωτάκης, Λούκας, Πέλκας 2 γκολ: Κούδας, Αναστασιάδης, Βόκολος, Ολιβάρεζ, Σάμπρι, Ναλιτζής Λίνο, Μάρτενς, Περέιρα, Κάμπος, Κίτσιου 1 γκολ: Πέλλιος, Ορφανός Δαμανάκης, Γεωργόπουλος, Βασιλάκος.

It will be against Club Brugge. Second game will be in Athens (Unless UEFA changes this for whatever reason).

Just realised that this is the first time we have an opponent from Sweden in European comeptitions. Pity that I will be back in The Netherlands when we play them in Toumba.

APOEL got Slavia Prague in the draw for PO CL. I would say that APOEL is the favourite in this tie.

Viktoria Plzen - AEK Larnaca in PO. Chances are 70%-30% in my opinion. The form of the day might do the trick for AEK.

Best draw possible considering the circumstances for Apollon, I think: Midtjylland. First game at home.

Oly will be in GS too. If they win in CL. If the lose in EL.

Be carefull though. In Sweden the league is underway. And they eliminated Tudor's Galatasaray.

PAOK - Östersund

And no Sheriff

No Videoton and Utrecht sofar

We are in Group 4 for today's draw: Seeded Partizan (SRB) 16.075 Marseille (FRA) 28.333 PAOK (GRE) 35.080 Legia Warszawa (POL) 28.450 Viktoria Plzeň (CZE) 40.635 Zenit (RUS) 87.106 Unseeded Videoton (HUN) 8.650 Sheriff Tiraspol (MDA) 11.150 AEK Larnaca (CYP) 6.210 Utrecht (NED) 6.712 Domžale (SVN) 4.125 Östersund (SWE) 3.945

And indeed: 2-0, with the second goal scored in '86, was enough. Apollon will be unseeded in tomorrow's draw.

AEK equalised in '90 to earn themselves a 1-1 and a place in EL PO, where they will be unseeded (again).

Easy, as in really easy, would be to draw Hafnarfjadar (to play them not to pronounce the name of that club....), Östersund or Sudava.

With the Braga - AIK Solna game in extra time we have the following results of the countries from #8 till #17: Belgium: lost Gent and Oostende; Anderlecht and Zulte Waregem GS; Club Bruges seeded EL. Ukraine: Olimpik out; Shaktar and Zorya Luhansk GS; Dinamo Kiev seeded EL; Olexandria not seeded El. Turkey: Galatasaray eliminated already; Besiktas, Istanbul Basaksehir (even if they lose in CL PO) and Konyaspor GS; Fenerbahce seeded EL. Netherlands: PSV out; Feyenoord and Vitesse GS; Ajax seeded EL; Utrecht unseeded. Austria: Sturm Graz lost for the Aussies; Austria Wien and RB Salzburg seeded in EL; Altach unseeded in EL. Czech Republic: Mlada Boleslav and Sparta Prague eliminated; Slavia Prague (even if they lose in CL PO) and Zlin GS; Viktoria Plzen seeded in EL. Switzerland: Sion and Luzern out; Basel, Young Boys (even if they lose in CL PO) and Lugano in GS. Greece: Panionios out; Olympiakos GS (CL or EL whatever the result); PAOK seeded EL, Panathinaikos (unfortunately Braga progressed while writing this post) and AEK unseeded in EL. Croatia: Haven't lost a team yet; Rijeka always in GS after PO CL; Dinamo Zagreb seeded in EL; Hajduk Split and Osijek unseeded. Denmark: Brøndby and Lingby out; Copenhagen GS no matter what happens); Midjylland seeded in EL. Not too bad if you ask me. Hope the draw for our EL teams is not to heavy.

Just home in Chalkidiki. Not a great game. Should have put in 4 or 5 today. Biseswar by far MVP of the match. When he was subbed off we looked like 11 separate Ltd. instead of a team. So I agree with Yiankos. O Priojovic perdepse ta podia tou simera. Luckily Donetsk was not a good team. We need to improve to reach GS.

2-0. What a shot

I'm in. Great atmosphere
