[Blackhawk]

Tie is all we need in this game.

[Yiankos]

Κύριε Ίβιτς τα κλαρίνα που κάνουμε στο ΟΑΚΑ και τη Λεωφόρο δεν έχουν τελειωμό. Θα σας παρακαλούσαμε ιδιαίτερα αν μπορείτε να μην χάσετε ξανά εκεί μέσα. Είμαστε καλύτερη ομάδα, επιτέλους να μην παίζουμε σαν χεσμένοι χωρίς λόγο!

[Bananas]

Nice said Yiankos.  I don't even care so much if we lose to a team that plays very well, but let's at least play hard and without fear and the result will be whatever it will be.

[italosPAOK4]

parte to diplo kai boulwste tous ta stomata ANTE PAOKARAAAAAAAAAA !!!!

[Dutch Eagle]

57th game of the season. Have we ever played that much?

SL: 30

PO: 3,5 and 2 to go

EL (including Q3/4): 12

Cup: 10

We need just to avoid a loss. Not only to qualify but also to improve our bad stats against AEK.

[pash]

The team looks absolutely exhausted. No energy in any of the playoff games.

AEK will be missing Vranjes (suspension) and Patito (injury).

[BostonThanatos]

they should be equally exausted, if not more.  Their roster has less depth.  European competition has been over for a while now, and even then it was only, what? 9 games more than them?

They need to wake the F up and get 3 points in there. 

[pash]

No, I agree. They can and should finish this now...even if their performances this month are lacking. Our conditioning is better than theirs and as you say, we have depth.

[Blackhawk]

Matos was not punished yet by EPO, so he is available for the game on Sunday.

[Dutch Eagle]

Apparently Glykos got himself a very bad injury at the last training before the AEK-game that needs surgery and will cost him months.

[Dutch Eagle]

O Βλάνταν Ίβιτς επέλεξε τους 19 παίκτες που θα ταξιδέψουν στην Αθήνα και είναι οι: Μπρκιτς , Σιαμπάνης , Λέοβατς , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μάτος , Κίτσιου , Κρέσπο , Μαλεζάς , Πούγγουρας , Κάνιας , Χαρίσης , Τσίμιροτ , Μπίσεσβαρ , Πέλκας , Κάμπος , Ενρίκε , Πρίγιοβιτς , Αθανασιάδης , Κουλούρης .

[pash]

Tore his ACL.....He's out for months. I just knew he was overdue for a season ending injury

[paokarag4]

wow how unlucky for him and us, an acl 2 games before the end of the season. Guess we'll be in the market for a new goalkeeper in the offseason. 
For the last 2 games I don't know how how much I trust brkic, he hasn't looked amazing when he's played. Fingers crossed I guess and we'll see what happens. 

[Bananas]

Feck.  Terrible news concerning Glykos.  Just on the tail of his best ever season for us.  I guess we'll find out how good or bad Brkic really is.  He hasn't been encouraging in the few games we've seen him but at the same time he hasn't had a run of games to get match fitness.  We shall see.

I have a feeling we are gonna find out pretty quickly how valuable Glykos is to the team

[Barcelona4]

Very hard game. 

[Blackhawk]

Missed penalty by AEK

[Dutch Eagle]

1-0 Bakasetas :-(

[Blackhawk]

We played very badly in first half and we are loaded with cards as well. Also Campos got injured.

[BostonThanatos]

Pathetic

[Dutch Eagle]

And two more yellows.

Will we have enough players next game?

[Dutch Eagle]

FT 1-0. And a second yellow for Malezas = red..................

[Blackhawk]

We are going to the final game that we need to win without defense. Don't like our chances.
