Couldn't get a ticket so will be watching this one at the fan club.

A win means we can play a second-string side against Helsinki.

[Blackhawk]

Squad for the game:

No Baba, but Marcos Antonio is present.

[pash]

A shame about Baba. I actually like Soares but I'm hoping that injury is in its final steps. Baba a clear upgrade.

It would be quite surprising to me if Antonio gets minutes, but you never know with Lucescu. Just when you think something is impossible, he does it.

[Athens4]

The game is tied 0-0 then in the 85th minute Antonio comes on and scores the winner. You heard it here first!

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα!!!

[PAOKSYD]

Big game. 

Paok fans all over world losing it

Κοτάρσκι, Ράφα, Κουλιεράκης, Κεντζιόρα, Βιεϊρίνια, Οζντόεφ, Μεϊτέ, Τάισον, Μουργκ, Αντρίγια και Σαμάτα.

[Tahma]

anyone know how many tickets were allocated to PAOK fans?

[Blackhawk]

2,500 were allocated, but approximately 5,000 PAOK fans are in the stands.

 

[Dutch Eagle]

Koulierakis crossbar but also offside. 

[Blackhawk]

Good chance bu Murg.

[Dutch Eagle]

Great save Kotarski

[Blackhawk]

Big save by Kotarski.

[Blackhawk]

Half time 0:0

Hopefully we can keep them from scoring in 2nd half.

I'd propose to you immediately. I'd invite your king and everything.

 

As I type this, the camera zooms in on Antonio kicking the ball around (still halftime obv). SERENDIPITY?

[Blackhawk]

I think with Konstantelias in 2nd half instead of Murg we'll have some scoring chances.

[Dutch Eagle]

Gooooaaalll Kedziora

[Blackhawk]

1:0 Kedziora

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn. 1-1

[Blackhawk]

Common 1:1

[Dutch Eagle]

2-1 for them but offside

[Blackhawk]

We are playing with fire

 

[Blackhawk]

Wake up!!!!!!

[pash]

Konstantelias and Thomas coming in
