Use Tinypic, OS!

As there is no EL-topic yet I'll post your group and possible opponents for the draw later this day here: Astana (KAZ) Osmanlispor (TUR) Arouca (POR) Lokomotive Zagreb (CRO) Trencin (SVK)

UEFA just revealed the groups. They changed it a bit. We will face one of these clubs: AEK Larnaca (CYP) Rosenborg (NOR) Dinamo Tbilisi (GEO) Vojvodina (SRB) Beitar Jerusalem (ISR) Avoid Rosenborg. Rather not AEK, as I don't want Greek and Cypriotic clubs to eliminate eachother. Think we will draw Dinamo or Beiter as we always draw the same clubs. Olympiakos gets the others I predicted with Astana instead of Rosenborg

If UEFA uses the same algorhytms as it usually does then we will face one of: Rosenborg, Arouca, Osmanlispor, Lokomotiva Zagreb or Trencin. Of those we rather avoid Rosenborg and Osmanlispor. The others do not bother me. If UEFA choses another way of preparing the draw my work is done for nothing. Drunk a delicious frappe glyko me gala in the meantime, so I wasn't wasting my time.

Pity you also lost. Hope this experience helps you next year. With also a little luck in the draw.

Finally Grasshopper scored 3:3 in the 120' Apollon eliminated despite being seeded.

Caio with the 3:2 in minute 103' and therefore 4:4 agg. With this score Apollon is eliminated on the away-goals-rule.

3:1 Guie Gneki in minute 101'

Qabala (5.225) also possible again. They threw Lille out of EL.

Heracles was eliminated on away goals by FC Arouca from Portugal. Therefore no Dutch opponent possible in the play off. I'm glad because they are our worst nightmare. Arouca (10.616) possible though. As is Skhendija Tetovo (2.950) of FYROM. They eliminated Mlada Boleslav, the third seeded side in a row for them.

FT 2:1 Agg score 3:3 30 minutes extra it is.

No goals in the second half. PAS is eliminated. 1:3 agg score.

Fotis Papoulis with the 2:1 in 86'.

73' 1:0 by Paulo Vinicius but in 77' 1:1 by Lucas Andersen. Ten minutes left to score 2:1 for 30 minutes extra time.

Hope you manage to turn it over, guys. You have over an hour to do the trick.

Bravo AEK. They eliminated seeded Spartak Moscow. Did not expect that to nee honest.

Trickovski in 89' with the 0:1. Hang on those last minutes AEK!!!

And now need three as AZ makes it 1:2 (and 1:3 on aggregate).

PAS need at least two goals now.

Pedro Conde 1:0 in the 9th minute. PAS - AZ 1:1 aggregate score

After having my dinner my thoughts are straightened and this is how I see it. We lost together. Oh yes, Klaous should have scored more. Shakov should have. Leovac should have kept his hands from Viergever's body or positioned better. Ivic should have made another choice (a Mak-type for the tet-a-tet) or subbed earlier or not leaving Pelkas out of the squad. If If If, should should should. Tomorrow the sun will rise again. I will be PAOK again. Till the day I die. For better or for worse. And I will look again. And again in agony. It will hurt sometimes. And someday we will win a kypelo or protathlima, but we will suffer more. That is the essence of being a supporter of clubs of the people like PAOK, Schalke or Liverpool. Even Atletico, where the supporters are called the sufferers. Friday the sun comes up again and there will be a draw. With our next opponent and next dreams etc. etc. Keep your heads up. PAOK imaste!!!
