[Dutch Eagle]

Already 5,000 tickets sold online. Add the 11,396 diarkias. As of tomorrow tickets are available at the ticket counters at the stadium. Hope for a sold out and a great atmosphere next Sunday!

[pash]

Do we have any word on the paoktv price? I'm guessing the 5-euro level for this one?

[BostonThanatos]

Wouldn't it just be the standard price?  What was is 2.99?

[pash]

I think earlier this season they charged more for one of the more important games, maybe one in the EL? But hopefully it is 2.99 or whatever.

[Blackhawk]

The standard price is 1.99 Euro. The Europa League game was 3.99 Euro. I expect the same price for Sunday's game.

[Yiankos]

Μας έχουν πάρει πολλά διπλά οι βάζελοι. Και το περσινό στα πλέι οφ ακόμα το θυμάμαι...

Ελπίζω να μην τα σκατώσουμε σε αυτό το παιχνίδι. Αν δεν παίξει ο Βιεϊρίνια θα είναι τεράστιο πλήγμα. Με Κρέσπο αριστερό μπακ θα μας βγει η πίστη. Καλύτερα να βάλει τον πιτσιρικά. Όχι άλλο Κρέσπο......

[pash]

I agree. The only way I"d want to see Crespo on the outside edge, is if we're playing a 3-man defense. Considering that Xanthi is better than PAO, I'd like to see nearly the same lineup (assuming Prijovic is still out):

 

                  --Pashalakis--

--Matos--Varela--Crespo--Deligiannidis--

            --Mauricio--Cimirot--

         --Limnios--Pelkas--Mak--

                --Koulouris--

Confirmed today, 3.99

[pash]

So that's...good or bad?

[Bananas]

Am I missing something ?  Why isn't Rey going to be GK ?

Rey wasn’t either last Sunday at Xanthi. Paschalakis played well.

[Dutch Eagle]

Only 3,500 tickets left for Sunday.

[Blackhawk]

I think Rey will start Sunday unless he is also one of the players designated to leave the team to save money. 

Looks like Vierinha is trying very hard to make the game. Hope he does. I don't want to see Crespo as LB.

[pash]

It's very possible he'll make it. They did estimate 6-8 days, and this game is 8 days after his last one. Fingers crossed!!

[Bananas]

If we get rid of Rey based on Paschalakis playing one decent game that would be lunacy.  But then again, we are PAOK ha ha.

[mcp4]

Savvidis Jnr just posted an insta story about avoiding a pyro show to avoid fines..?

"Mono xartakia kai fwni!! Nikh xwris timwries!"

[pash]

We're definitely going to get fines

[Blackhawk]

Lucesco said it looks good for Vierinha and that Prijovic is a possibility.

My lineup for Sunday (if Vieirinha and Prijovic are ready):

------------------------- Rey ----------------------
Matos - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha
--------- Mauricio ------ Cimirot ----------
Limnios -------- Pelkas -------- Mak
---------------------- Prijovic -------------------

However I think Lucescu will start Paschalakis, Canas and Koulouris

[pash]

Was Prijovic just with a sprained foot? I'm kind of worried that one or both of those players will be rushed back and risk a longer-term injury.

[Blackhawk]

Well after this game we have an "easy" affair against Platanias and a cup game before Christmas break, so there is some time for healing. Prijovic is sitting out Platanias game due to cards and Kouluris should be able to handle the cup game, so the risk might not be that great.

[Blackhawk]

Vierinha has overcome his injury and was ready for the game on Sunday, but all of a sudden he came down with an appendix problem. He will have a surgery tomorrow to remove it and as a result will miss the game against Panathinaikos. 

[Yiankos]

That's a huge problem. Hope he doesn't play Crespo as left back, but probably he will.

Getting rid of Rey? Where did this come from? He played 10 games and we are selling him?

[pash]

Prijovic is in the squad:

Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Μάτος , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μαλεζάς , Κρέσπο , Βαρέλα , Μαουρίσιο , Σάκχοφ , Κάνιας , Τσίμιροτ , Πέλκας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Κάμπος , Λημνιός , Μακ , Πρίγιοβιτς , Κουλούρης
