The last decent PAO side was that of Cissé.

And they won the league that year.

[Faliro]

Yip.. Amazing what buying decent players does..

AEK officially changed their emblem.

It is something they should have done years and years ago, but better late than never.
They have introduced the cross the globe in the right talon which now corresponds with the emblem of the Second Holy Roman Empire or Byzantium to others.

How it was before:



The new emblem:




Symbol of the Empire and the Greek church:

How do Greeks pronounce AEK?

"Aik"?

[Faliro]

a  - ek - literally ah-ek

[H]

Ah-eh-kapa, tuga style!

[Faliro]

To be honest it has been a relief not having those fans trashing athens these last two years...
They simply set fire to anything..

[Faliro]

AEK played their first game of league 2 today and won 0-1. Their goal scorer was sent off.



Next they play Apollon, which will not be easy...

[Godescalco]

They'll win the 2nd league easily.

[Faliro]

Not sure, the second division is famous for not letting the good teams escape..

Barbosa. who gave the assist to the goal, complained after the match that this 'was not football.' He said the game was too violent and it seemed violent on purpose.

[HJDK]

"My goal is the Euro Final".

I found that odd and awkward. So I did a little investigation:



Ranieri later expanded on his sitiuation, admitting that qualification was a must for the surprise 2004 champions.

"I know I have to arrive in the finals in Paris, that is my goal," he said.

"It is very important to beat Northern Ireland.

"If we do not reach Paris it is a disaster me, for everybody, and I would be the chief executive of the disaster."

Seriously, the portuguese press is such a huge pile of shit. They constantly mistranslate all the time, they will do anything for their catchy headliners.

[Faliro]

Hahaha.

So far he has been a very shitty coach.  Poor selections as per usual.

[Faliro]

PAO-0 OFI-1      33'

Watching it now. 

Ends 1-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OFI score in 90 +4' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Godescalco]

Is OFI still a PAO satellite club?

[Faliro]

Nope. They broke all ties with PAO a few years ago and subsequently got relegated. They worked hard with their new owner and came back and detest PAO now.

PAO can longer rely on them for 3 points. Never again. It is the opposite, OFI play with everything to beat their former masters.
