I think they are trying to copy us.. We got Pardo (fairly good Colombian winger) - they get Ibarbo and Wakaso etc. PAOK also think they have made good signings. I am not convinced - each year it is the same and each year Panionios beats them all.

They look good on paper but after all it matters the most on the field.

[Faliro]

True, I actually think their oldest signing will help them the most, Ledesma.

Europa update:

PAO beat AIK 1-0

AEK - first game back in Europe for 5 years..  did well, they drew 0-0 with St Etienne. AEK played just like they did against Olympiacos in the final. Very physical - every pass direct and cutting. Horrible team to play atm. Their new central defender Chygrynskiy looked like a fucking rock.

As for the Super Cup it is no longer held. it would be Olympiacos vs AEK again if it was held.

To those of you with an interest in this...



Something interesting happened this year. FC Sparti (aka as Sparta in English) are now in the second division. Not only that, they have a very rich backer who wants them in the top league next year.. he is the same man who controls PAO BC:

PAOK vs Ajax - sold out within six hours of the tickets being put on sale.

AEK vs St Etienne - All 5000 online tickets sold already and I think they have sold around 20,000 tickets today for the game. We could be looking at over 60,000 AEK fans at the OAKA  for this game.

Looking forward to watch the PAOK game.

You think they can do it?

They have a chance, but it would not be the first nor the secound time that they lose a qualification after having good result in the first leg.

[Cloughie]

I think Ajax will win 1-2.

[Faliro]

PAOK had very little control of the midfield in the first game. Will be interesting to see what happens at the Toumba.

I think Ajax will win 1-2.

Izi.
