[Blackhawk]

There was a talk by Greek police to have the game postponed, but it looks like it will go on as planned.

[PAOKSYD]

We should smack these s%$#! c**nts and get a good victory here 

[Blackhawk]

Greek refs assigned for the game even though it was promised by EPO that foreign refs will be assigned.

[Dutch Eagle]

EPO is famous for all their Malllllllakies. They are morrons if they do not keep promisses. But what can one expect from a bunch of clowns that leaves the national team without four regulars assuming they were suspended .......

[Athens4]

Will miss the game as I will be flying back from Prague. Hope we smash them.

[Blackhawk]

 @Athens4, how is Prague? Will be there later this month. Don't drink too much of that fine beer. 🍺🍺🍺

Squad for Champions League final #1 this season for the worms:

Ζίβκοβιτς, Κοτάρσκι, Βιεϊρίνια, Κεντζιόρα, Εκόνγκ, Μιχαηλίδης , Κουλιεράκης, Μπάμπα, Ράφα Σοάρες, Τσιγγάρας, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μεϊτέ, Μουργκ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μπράντον, Τζίμας, Σαμάτα.

Marcos Antonio and Felipe Soares not fit and injured.

Sastre, Nåsberg and Lyratzis have to wait till we play a Panserraikos or so.

[Blackhawk]

Sadly some empty seats at Toumba. That should not be the case in the city derby.

[PaokCT]

That one section is pretty empty

[PaokCT]

Paok playing better so far. Had some good chances off of turnovers. The field is heavy. Ball gets slowed down 

[Blackhawk]

We are playing quite well, but except for one shot by Zivkovic not much to show for it.

[paokarag4]

Agree we are looking good but just can't quite create a clear opportunity once we've worked the ball into a dangerous area. 

I really like the look of Samatta, good touches on the ball and links up well. Very pacey too especially given his size.

Meite is giving me Alexandros Tziolis vibes, way too composed on the ball and when you think he's surely lost it, he somehow retains possession. He is making me nervous early days, but we'll see how we goes. 

Was always likely to be a tight game with not many goals. Aris look solidly dangerous on the counter, will be tight 2nd half. 

Edited September 17 by paokarag4

[Blackhawk]

Meite and Baba probably our best players in 1st half. Another poor showing by Konstantelias.

There should have been a penalty for handball at the end of 1st half, but it didn't even go to VAR.

[PaokCT]

Meite is the best player on the field

[Blackhawk]

What is wrong with our fans? 

[PaokCT]

Games been delayed for about 10 minutes due to flares being lit

[Dutch Eagle]

GGGGGOOOALLLLL DESPODOVVVVVV

[Blackhawk]

Goooool Despodov

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn offside Brandon

[Blackhawk]

No goal offsidde

[Dutch Eagle]

Except from first 20-25 minutes we looked bad. Second game in SL we do not score. 

[Athens4]

It is starting to get boring seeing our team struggle against this s%$#! team every season.

Who decided to resign Kedziora?
