BAR?AAAAAA

According to football observatory PAOK is #46 in the list of the best youth academies. See this article on metrosport: http://www.metrosport.gr/article/paok-sto-top-50-me-tis-kaliteres-akadimies-tis-evropis

Sabo drew 2-2 with Slovakia away against Ireland and provided Miroslav Stoch an assist for the 0-1.

Our K15 reached the final of the We Love Football tournament. In the semis they beated Italy B yesterday. Today they will face Atletico Madrid in the final:

Kace got sent off with two yellows in the friendly against Austria (2-1 defeat).

Mak played the whole game in the friendly against Latvia. Score 0-0. Sabo came in as a substitute in the 89' minute. I can not stand those coaches that do this. What on earth can a player show in those few minutes and what on earth can a player do wrong I those few minutes??? It's time that players stand up for their rights of not being ridiculed by coaches.

Don't know, RS. I do know we have a good academy. Would be great if a few of those kids make it to the first squad like Pelkas.

Teke I agree. Though I would be mad as hell if I would live in Thessaloniki and were denied to use my "diarkia". Points hurt the most. Formally we are the first with so many points deducted, but for real we were nailed last year with a deduction of 15 points as those MF%#$* deducted 3 points from us in the play-offs.

Robin Olsen played the whole game with Sweden against Turkey (2-1 loss)

Looking at his goal, Reaper, he sure was :-)

Giannou played the whole game in the 7-0 win over the always dangerous hometown-team of one our beloved red members: Tzatziki-stan.

It's because we are: Voulgaroi; Tourkoi; Jiftoi; Salonikeis; * choose one of the above.

The verdict: 5 points deduction and 3 games without fans, though other sources say 5 points deduction and a 5 game ban.

Cruijff played in Toumba on February 14th 1973 with Ajax in a friendly game. Result 1-1. He also played a game with FC Barcelona in Toumba on September 16th 1975 in the first round of the UEFA-cup, nowadays the Europa League. Result: an unexpected great 1-0 win with Koudas scoring for us. Here a vid (poor quality though) of that game with in the beginning the highlights (at the end Vojvodina-AEK).

Just heard that one of the greatest players passed away. Johan Cruyff died today after a struggle against cancer. He was only 68 years old.

Yes. It still bothers me though that we (might) get a deduction of points in the league for riots in the cup. I could live with an expulsion from the cup but not a deduction of points in the SL like last year as they are two very different things.

Well, the man is a century in Greece. But there are also individuals that refuse to learn a foreign language.

Again 3-0 and only one yellow is good. Lets keep that in the last ten minutes.

Korovesis 3-0

Might be useful at the end of the normal season. We will see.
