PAOmelbourne

Is this an actual true fact? Not a single penalty gone against them since cisse got fouled at oaka... Wow!! Get around it, money on that for sure

THANK YOU!!!do you guys actually think the players dont give a F*** about europa because of the little money that PAO can earn from it when compared to CL? Let's be serious here guys, they'd all rather play in a europa league game than a standard GSL game any day of the week. Europa league competition is better than GSL and also allows the players to showcase themselves to the world what they are all about. Weather PAO is a stepping stone for them to a better future or it's their passion to play for PAO. The incentive to play europa league is much higher than a shitty game against levadiakos away on a pitch that is no better than my backyard... And like red sherif said...wtf is 6 games really going to do to a squad in the long scheme of things. Those of you saying 'F*** europa' are flat out idiots!! We have a great squad to have a very good chance at excelling this year in the europa league, why not take our chances and see how good we really are. Anybody remember the two wins against Roma 3-2 and 2-3??? They were in europa league... Oh i bet you all forgot about them didn't you

Despite his very high profiled resume, I don't consider him a leader at PAO. Leaders at pao are players like zeca! Essien hasn't done s%$#! for me to call him a leader. Freezer you need to chill out man, few kilos isn't anything to worry about. We are playing in the SL, not EPL. Your acting as if the bloke has a chronic weight issue and has no idea how to work out. m#$%!, essien has been doing HIT training for probably close to 2 decades...

Maybe he needed to shed a few extra kilos of muscle mass to adapt to the high paced game of the SL :p

F*** the Turks!

You guys cannot compare the 90s football era to now!!!! We need to move on from a couple of good runs that we had back then! Money wasn't as big of an influence as it is nowadays! Players actually played for the shirt.. As the years progressed, so did the influence of money. And the gap between the Barcelonas and Real Madrids compared to the Panathinaikos' and Brugges also increased... Which is generally why the final 4 of CL year in year out, seems to come as no real suprise! No one is going to invest in a Greek team any time soon, it's a piss poor business decision to do so.

It's certainly not a decline! The league this year is stronger, especially with the addition of aek. Creates another big derby and some extra worthy competition. Panathinaikos have added some great players into the squad, we fell short and were out played by a better team. Yeh it sucks, but realistically speaking none of us expected to be in CL. Take some positives from a negative, this is another competitive game under a belt in the pre season, a good assessment of where players are at, and a good chance for anastasiou to tweak the lineup/formation to suit us. You do realise the second goal we copped was a huge deflection and as well a massive kick in the nuts for the team psychologically.. Karelis with a bit more composure could of had a few, I think there was a penalty that could have been given to berg... Some days these come our way, sometimes they don't. Funny thing is, had all those factors played to our advantage, you wouldn't hear one single complaint in these forums about our team. And every one would have the confidence of a person who just racked 3 lines of coke in his nose that we would be able to beat Man U in the following round. Some of you need to picture the game of football in a more realistic sense. I understand it's frustrating seeing mediocre performances for years, especially when we compare ourselves to many other former years. But fact of the matter is, we are who we are! We will qualify for europa and we will be a lot more ready for the qualifying game!

Correct to a certain extent We did top a CL group with a defence of sarriegi, goumas, spyropoulos and Gabriel.. We still have essien to add some extra defensive measure in the midfield too. Everyone needs to chill the F*** out on the forums, it's quite absurd how quickly some of you turn on pao.

I thought koutroubauer had a decent game in the DM role. Kept the play quite simple, didn't over do it. Not saying he had a perfect game, but what more do you expect from him...

Great win considering the circumstances Huge morale booster for the team! Was a shame to see ninis getting dragged at HT, especially after he seemed to be playing with a huge amount of confidence, but decisions like that need to be made when red cards occur.

OTE Sport 1 has the rights

Ajaguns touch is absolutely atrocious Not a starting 11 player But can be well used when needed, he's a big hit and miss. He's either on or completely off. Best thing about him is, weather he is on or off, he is putting in the hard yards by doing the running off the ball. And he may be having a stinker of a game, but he won't leave anything on the field. Bit like what the old Papadopoulos gave us when he was playing upfront

Money is power...

Time will tell guys.. It does give us some hope knowing there's a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel

Sooooo essentially he's gotten away with a slap on the wrist... Those punishments are directed towards which crime exactly..?? This is a joke

You gotta spend money to make money..

Ninis' talented never dissapeared.. He always had a spark in him since Munoz gave him a run at the age of 16. He has always had the tools, just failed to apply them to the trade on a consistent basis.

So can somebody clarify to me what's the situation so far, I'm hearing and reading things that are giving me two stories. Is Olympiakos out of CL next season? And if so, does that give the playoff winner an automatic CL group stage birth?

Geia sas palikaria Was hoping we'd all jump ship and find each other somewhere on a forum to talk about pao. When I logged into GS, it shut down, so I never got any memo of the movement.
