All PAOK home games were either played at Syndrivani Stadium (prior to 1959) or Toumba Stadium (after 1959) unless otherwise noted.

[Blackhawk]

Why even bother ...

[Dutch Eagle]

Well, the gayros lost 2 points against the worms. Pana are trailing 2 goals just after HT. So, we still have it in our own hands, fearless leader!

[Bananas]

Easy guys.  Win all 4 remaining games.  Olympiacos to steal points from AEK and PAO.  Job done.

[Blackhawk]

It's not that it can't be done, but from what the team showed me the last 4 game I don't see any hope.

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 bathmous

[Blackhawk]

I don't see how we can win this game. Don't how and who will score a goal for us. And as usual we will have defensive lapse and AEK will score. My prediction is a 0:1 loss unfortunately. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Lineup:

Κοτάρσκι, Μπάμπα, Κουλιεράκη, Κεντζιόρα, Ότο, Σβαμπ, Μεϊτέ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Α. Ζίβκοβιτς, Μπράντον.

[Dutch Eagle]

Match not started yet as a banner needs to be removed. Don't know what it says. 

[Dutch Eagle]

And we are off.

Pame PAOK!

Damn 1-1

[Blackhawk]

1:1

[Blackhawk]

Wake up PAOK

[Dutch Eagle]

Great save Kotarski. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Brandon 

[Dutch Eagle]

Crossbar as their keeper pushed the ball away.

[Dutch Eagle]

And yellow Jonny

[Dutch Eagle]

Schwab should have scored that one.

[Dutch Eagle]

Konstantelias with an unintentional professional foul and yellow.

[Dutch Eagle]

HT 1-1

[Blackhawk]

We had chances but so did AEK. Hopefully we can win it in 2nd half.

[Dutch Eagle]

Second half started with one sub: Jonny out and Sastre in.
