2016 - 2017 Season

[Blackhawk]

Dumb decision by Superleague to bend over for Forthnet to start the league from Round 3. Why everything has to be done backwards in Greece?

[maggica]

I am really looking forward to the greek league this year. Panathinaikos, Paok, Aek, and Olympiacos all have realistic chances of winning the league.  

Olympiacos are the favorites; they are the defending champs, with the best team chemistry.  Perhaps not making too many signings will help them maintain unity and familiarity, underrated components of successful teams.  However, they don't have very much talent compared to previous years.

Panathinaikos have the best roster, on paper.  Since there are so many new signings, team chemistry may be an issue.  We have started the season very well, however, and I really like our coach.

AEK also have some very good players, with good depth in most positions.  If the CDMs (Simoes and Johannson) are out through injury/suspension, however, they don't have adequate replacements. Being knocked out of European competition may help their title chances, since they will be less fatigued and suffer from less injuries.

PAOK have the most depth; they can field 2 decent squads. They lack a player who can score/create out of nothing, however (like Robery Mak, Vierinha etc...).

 

Overall, the league should be tightly contested this year.  It will go down to the wire.

Veroia is in danger of being kicked out of Superleague after failing to receive a license, since the transfer of shares from Karypidis to the new owner can't be verified. Karypidis had to get rid of his Veroia shares after taking over Aris.

The first goal of the season is scored by Georgios Giakoumakis of Platanias in their awaymatch against Kerkyra.

Can't believe how panionios dismantled asteras like that. I really thought asteras would blow all non big 4 teams over with ease with their squad. Still early I guess. 

[Aitolos1926]

Wish panaitolikos signed fountas when we had the chance. He's from missolonghi not far from where I live. His second goal was an absolute beauty

Larissa's owner is an absolute maniac.

 

Greece: where you lose when you win.

 

Their record, incidentally, was 2/2/3. And only three points out of an EL slot (at this early stage).

[Bananas]

It must've been some sort of a personal clash between the two.  Nothing else explains it.  In terms of results, they were doing quite well.

[Dutch Eagle]

Here are the average attendences of the teams so far this season. The big 4 on the first four places. Three clubs with less than 1,000 tickets per game:

Superleague resumes as schedule with Round 11 this weekend. 

[Bananas]

So much for that then.

[Original Sydney]

Big difference that week off made, f*ck we are a joke.

[RED SHERIFF]

what? you guys actually supported this ban?>

No.

[Blackhawk]

Looks like Superleague will not resume this weekend. They just can't make their mind. What a joke.

There was no ban to support. It was just a temporary stoppage. In any case I support a complete stoppage. I would prefer to just cancel this season and not start the 2017-18 season unless things get fixed. And that means holding EPO elections that were blocked by a FIFA coup last month. Also in that time frame all the legal issues should come to trial, so once in for all these legal issue can't be used by different people to push their own agenda. I know, this will never happen, but I can dream.

[Original Sydney]

Call me crazy but it honestly seems like FIFA/UEFA put a hold on these EPO elections as they new one of their own wouldn't be the top man. I don't trust Theodoridis, Infantino or this Cypriot m#$%! that's been sent to make the changes.

How is it that this s%$#! constantly happens in Greece and nothing is ever done about it? To me it shows UEFA/FIFA are on the take big time.

Blackhawk I agree with you, the league shouldn't be re-started and a massive clean out is needed, especially those who have charges against them and still have involvement in Football.

[Original Sydney]

^^^ He prob wanted the ban as he has too many injuries to deal with so another week would help him out lol

They can have as many bans as they want, each season we see the same old s%$#!, bans, delays, stoppage of matches for violence, evidence of match fixing, bribery & extortion and yet we are still in the same position we've been in for the last few years.....

[Dutch Eagle]

There will be no matches this weekend. All national leagues will start November 22nd. Therefore the postponed game Giannina-Levadiakos can be played as scheduled. 

It is not known yet if the SL will resume with MD 11 or 12.

[Original Sydney]

Has it been confirmed to start the 22nd?

Does it actually matter who is for the suspension of the league and who isn't when its not the teams who have the power to re-start the league?

[Dutch Eagle]

SL restarted today with a goalless draw between Ioannina and Levadiakos. 

[Original Sydney]

Seems the league will re-start from Round 12,another round of football lost. Has anything been said about playing that missed round?
