If we keep our foot on the pedal at 70% we will score at least 2 more. Everytime we get deep into their half we create a chance. Just need to stay focused and not get too relaxed

what a miss re mak

Really looking like a training drill. no fans, our players just knocking it around Panionios look less than disintrested. hope we take full advantage and pop a few more past them. Btw how classic Klaus where his 2 goals :D

The sound quality is worse than my year 11 media project. Jesus dont they believe in microphones

If we do make the Champions league qualifiers, we would be heavy underdogs and would need a lot of luck to go our away. In saying that as others have metioned with a few signings there is no reason we can't trouble those sides on the break and give them some issues. But we are still 3 games away from this being an issue and our midfield is depleted as it stands. Lets get through Thursday first and take these games one at a time before we start dreaming about the UCL

He is in elite company

^Probably will be the line up. Vitor could take Malezas spot. The only change I would make is starting Rodrigues (havent heard of him having any problems since asking for the sub vs PAO?) and playing Mysta in his actual position as the dekari. We are still to see him have an extended run in the team in his natural position

That's fine Mak can be sick all he wants, doesn't mean the club will release him to go join his NT till after the play-offs. I'm not as cynical as Blackhawk, my bet is he is back and playing vs Panionios

Not many players I really hate, but he is one of them. Important win none the less, and we now can attack the rest of play-offs on an even playing ground. Big game on Sunday

Might have to make my way down to the hotel or a training session when the boys are in Melbourne and meet some PAOK players for the first time in my life!!

He did look very good, all of our attacks in the first half came down the right hand side and through him. Hopefully he stays fit and can give us a much needed attacking boost in the play-offs

I love Drake's rnb stuff, some of my fave songs are him singing. In saying that I'm not a huge hip-hop fan, I'm a huge Drake fan though. His last 2 mixtapes are pure rap, the album was always going to off a mix, classic Drake

Exactly, another big tick for how Savvidis and co run the club

Hasn't stopped us signing players in previous years

Even though they'll come down hard on us, finally Savvidis does what he said and comes through on a threat. It won't change anything but its a start Bravo Ivan

Apparently Savvidi is standing firm and we won't be playing the 2nd leg http://www.contra.gr/Soccer/Hellas/GreekCup/paok/den-katevainei-karaiskakh-o-paok.4017692.html

Really?? I don't think it was given as a 0-3? If its past the 60th minute or something then any result stands in terms of an abandonded game. I don't recall hearing about EPO awarding it as a 3-0 to olympiako, our punishment was the points deduction and fine. I could be wrong though

So even if they take the 5 points from us, the only way we miss the playoffs is if there is a crazy 3 way tie between us, Pas, and Atromitos. If our appeal is successful and they give us even one point back then we are safe in the playoffs.

Klaus is an ok poacher but thats it. When was the last time in a big game we said, Jesus Klaus took the game on and won it for us? He is not that sort of player, which is fine. But our team isn't good enough to have our striker standing in the box waiting for balls and chances to come his way. We need a striker who will come deep, be part of some build up play, play with there back to goal. Sure its okay for him (or any striker) to play as a pure poacher against Kalloni and others, but in European games and against the other big teams we need someone who will offer more than just a tap in. He has a good scoring record against Olympiakos but some of his worst game I recall being against PAO, AEK and in Europe against decent oppostion. Again, he is an ok poacher and scorer, but he does also fluff many chances he really should bury considering he is a poacher. Nothing against him I don't mind Klaus at all, but I think looking at it objectively if we want to take the next step he can not be our starting center forward. Just my opinion

My bet is they reverse it And we go to Pieraus and qualify for the final :D

what a joke. It's debateable whether Klaus and Vellidi are even PAOK quality, let alone for the ethniki. PAE have bigger things to worry about then who's is and isn't getting called up. Tziolis hasn't played much lately, yet he got called up? No word on that though? I'll just wait for the kafenio warriors to come in and tell us it's because he used to play it PAO and he is in with EPO. Far bigger issues to concern ourselves with then this rubbish

Santos after the world cup with the ethniki said he wanted to return to club coaching, since he couldn't find a job he took the Portugal job once Bento got the sack for Portugal's poor start to the qualifiers. That might still be a lure for him but maybe coaching his nation into a World Cup will be a bigger pull. He is a results manager, he got them with us and got them with Ethniki and now Portugal, I too think Portugal with Santos keeping tight and one of the best weapons on the counter (Ronaldo) are dark horses to win the Euro. I honestly wouldn't mind Santos, and I feel with the runs on the board he would be given at least 2 seasons but then again it is Savvidis a couple of losses and he will be shitty he can't go into the dick measuring contest with Marinaki and Theodordi.

It's always someones fault amorgos! But seriously, I have no problem with playing kids who have talent (Cimirot,Pelka, Mystakidi, Xarisi etc all look good and to have good futures) The problem is this Greece and fans demand immediate results no matter what the plan is. And I think in PAOK's case Savvidis is the same as the fans. He wants the team to win, he has no patience for development and building. Which is fine, then go get yourself a Technical director who understands, a seasoned coach who has had good runs in Europe and be prepared to pay for ready made players. I have no problem with either tbh, there just needs to be cohesion and everyone needs to understand and be on the same page. Which I don't think has happened since Savvidis arrived

exactly right bananas. Arnsen's plan was to build a team around a core of young players. He is now gone. You can't blame Tudor for us not having the players to compete. If we want immediate results, Savvidis needs to put his hand deeper into his pocked and bring ready made players. And even then there is no guarntee. Like I've said before Tudor may not be the one to lead us to success but he should be given at least a chance

Started and scored a nice volley to make it 3-0 against his old side Hellas Verona. He was subbed off after 58 minuets http://www.contra.gr/Soccer/Italy/SerieA/sampdoria/gkolara-xristodoylopoyloy-kontra-sthn-prwhn-omada-toy.3941229.html
