What the F*** is a Socceroo?

Good interview with Lucas about PAOK: http://www.metrosport.gr/article/ti-lei-loukas-gia-dietisia-ke-voithou-anastasiadi -

Yeah. I had mentioned that ea couple weeks ago....unfortunately I'll be at Foxwoods for the Bill Burr show, I would otherwise have attended.

WTF is going on with him? He switched management, now what?

IT's more like stopping in the middle of sex, putting your pants on and leaving, lol.

I think the midfield is less porous when Kace on the field...but for whatever reason Tudor won't/isn't allowed to play him.

Beretta was like 16 days, lol...

I refuse to accept that Blackhawk is 5x better than me...nor that 3rd and 4th place are so close behind.

If we can pick up speed now, and hope for AEK and PAO to drop some points in the upcoming weeks, we can be going into the playoffs with some momentum and minimal point differential to overcome.

How did Antonis do in his limited time? I just hope that now with the rest of our season consisting of the "smaller" teams, we can use it to keep a decent pace in the standings, and find some chemistry until the playoffs. Let the injured get back, and then if we're 1 or 2 points behind in the playoffs, it's easily made up, if we're playing well.

Cimirot with an impressive goal.

win what cup? Are you watching how these clowns are playing?

So as long as I pay the bills at home, it's OK to neglect my kids and beat my wife? Let's not give him too much credit for doing WHAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING! "At least the players are paid!" The Players are supposed to be paid! "At least he's paying the bills!" He's SUPPOSED to pay the bills. How low is the bar of expectation? He's hiring people, and not allowing them to do s%$#!. He needs to stop listening to the fans, and do what's right for the team. Getting Arnesen was a HUGE step in the right direction. We had to unload a disgusting amount of dead weight in players, and had to pay out another disgusting amount in money for all those shitty contracts. This upcoming summer, Arnesen would have had the entire budget to work with We just pulled a Greek p*****a....if Arnesen stayed another month, he was guaranteed another $2M Euros in pay...

I think next season Klaus needs to go. We need to sign a tried and true CF and bring Koulouri back to play backup. The Chinese are throwing cash all around lately...

Lucas didn't want to be here. 2 years ago, or now. His leaving had nothing to do with Arnesen. Like Pash mentioned, Costa was on the top of the drop list, but there were complications with his contract, etc. I think Savvidis meddling in game he has no idea about is a big issue. Also, let's be clear about something. Just because PAOK wants to sign a quality 10ari or CB or whatever, doesn't mean they HAVE to come here. There have been more than a few situations where the players straight up just didn't want to come here, and I don't blame them.

I was reading Skondras is injured, and Antonis is active...

Yeah.... I'd rather have had a more experienced coach, but I think that if we didn't start European matches in July, had all these injuries, and had Olsen in net, he would have come out to a much better start. Along with that we've dropped 12 points in the last 4 minutes or less of matches this hear. I don't like to make excuses, but I also like to judge people when they're at their best, not their worst. It's like I tie your hands behind your back, throw you in the river and say "Wow...that guy really sucks at swimming!"

That's short sighted. The entire season has been riddled with injuries, and an early start in July didn't help things at all. Besides the Olsen deal, I don't consider any other player a real bust....they are all what we wanted: Young Talent. Jairo, Rodrigues, Cimirot and Leovac are all very promising. Let's not forget the task of unloading a ton of dead weight...that's all part of the budget as well. We have a young coach who has a brand new team, with no chemistry dropped in his lap, with games starting in JULY. The number and level of injuries are probably record setting in any European league for a TOP 5 team. PAOK had a perfect storm of s%$#! land on it's doorstep, and we want to fire people. If you take away Olsen, and the injuries this year, we are in 2nd place with a 6-10 point difference.

I almost wouldn't mind having no fans in TOUMBO vs Oly....at least we know the game will be played, and there will be no more punishment after ...

Man U, not Arsenal....But to be fair, maybe he's more effective with bigger budgets and not really for scouting young cheap talent to rebuild.

Can't argue with a single point you made.

Man U considering picking Arnesen up.

Jairo and Rodrigues won't be ready for the first match, but we should be full force for the 2nd leg in Karaiskaki. Probably looking to play a conservative, defensive game in Toumba, and then go balls to the wall in Athens.

We need a 1-0 or 0-0 in Toumba to even have a chance.

Hi Hater..
