Ziaka Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 The draw for the 2004-05 UEFA Cup draw is made tommorrow 27-Aug-04 at 13:30 GR. PAOK is ranked quite high in the teams ranking, which means they will get drawn with a relatively easy opponent. This is something that scares me. Everytime we get an 'easy" opponent, we struggle. Winners of the 1st Round qualify to the new Group Stage of the UEFA Cup. This should be PAOK's goal after the debacle in CL. If we make it to the group stage, we will play at least two games at Toumba. This might also be a chance to get the new season back on the right track.

Irlandos Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 PAOK drew Dutch side Alkmaar in today's UEFA Cup draw. Good luck to our brethren! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOOD Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 im preety sure u guys can win however what nation do this team come from? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsos Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Tough draw but a must advancement for many reasons. First to keep their sanity and second for Greece to move further ahead of Holland in the standings. Good Luck P.A.O.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Tough opponent. But here is a good chance to redeem ourselves for the poor showing in the CL, however my initial prediction is that we will not qualify to the group stage. BTW, I merged the topics so we can discuss PAOK in UEFA Cup in single place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Before the draw, this were our possible opponents: Chateauroux (France), AZ Alkmaar (Holland), Banik Ostrava (Czech Rep.), Elfsborg (Sweden), Hafnarfjordur (Iceland) I think we were draw with the hardest opponent from that group. As a side note, so close to have a match-up of two teams that I support: PAOK and Banik Ostrava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziaka Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 First game 16-Sep-04 at Toumba. Return leg on 30-Sep-04 at de Alkmaarder Hout, althought the Dutch side is trying to change the date to 29-Sep-04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 The big problem for PAOK (and the other Greek team in CL and UEFA Cup) as I see it is that our championship will not start until sometimes in October, while the Dutch championship is allready under.

Ziaka Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 I don't think so, but in Greek soccer, even if it is official, it does not mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tihio10 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 PAOK did get the toughest draw from that group, but I think PAOK will win easily. Although Debrecen of last year's UEFA Cup did look easy...but they were knocked out :unsure: I hope PAOK plays terrific :D (not like how they played in Tel-Aviv <_< ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed over the past few years following the soccer happenings in Thessaloniki, that the Aris fans have a bigger interest in what PAOK does, than what their own team does. ;) There are excpetions of course, but not too many. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziaka Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Aris fans have no business comparing their European records with the ones of PAOK. Statistics speak clearly. PAOK has played 84 games (including appearances in Champions Cup) in European competition while, Aris has only 40 European games. On top of that PAOK has a winning record in Europe, while Aris has a losing one. And don't bring up the Debrecen games up, becuase for every game you will bring up I can give you a comperable result by Aris in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
