Is this the new Aris logo?

That is the original ARIS logo from 1914 until the 1970s. I doubt they would ever drop the 'God of War' logo they currently have. Too many of their fans have it as a tattoo for one thing..  ;D
They changed their Facebook page to this. It's also their birthday I think.

Yip, 105 years old today.

Final table.

Was a terrible season. One of the worst as a spectacle. The violence was there as usual, but this time infused with the communist SYRIZA government who don't really understand football or even the concept of sport in general.

Next season, SYRIZA forced the league to reduce again, this time to only 14 teams. That will not be enough games to keep any type of spectacle - so the thinking now is a bizarre playoff section of the league half way through.. :crazy2:

Positives? Very very few. Obvious one is AEK will have their new small stadium next season - here is the current progress - roof goes on at the end of summer:

Other positives? PAOK may get a new stadium in the next few years. VAR will be implemented next season. Aris are back - thrashed Xanthi 7-2 today.  :estrelas: They will be in the Europa League Quals - hope they qualify.

In general terms the league will continue to get smaller with the help of Syriza. Less games, less money, violence as strong as ever - disorganisation as strong as ever and not much to attract the better the players or even managers.

As for now. The Cup final - AEK vs PAOK will be played in an empty OAKA on orders of SYRIZA..  :crazy2:

OFI will play local rivals Platanias to see who gets into next season's super league. Volos get automatic promotion and may merge with Olympiakos Volou. All in all, this season was a waste of time and deeply embarrassing for Greece and the Syriza government they thought it would be a good idea to elect. Not sure I will watch much of next season. Before, there was always intrigue - always interest - even at a basic level - however the league now is basically dead.

So Paok ended the league with no losses at all. Is it a first time in Greece?

Last team to do that were panathinaikos in 1964.

Nothing New about Panathinaikos?

Reduced their debt from 50 million to 20 million this season by spending nothing. Still have that stupid owner who pretends he is selling but has no intention of selling. Next season will be the same. Youth team 11 and saving money like mad.

They will continue to play at the OAKA too. Leoforos is just being left to rot. The property should be sold as part of the Votanikos stadium deal, but no one at the club has the brains or motivation.

At least their financial situation is better. The rest is Panathinaikos as usual.

Yes. To be honest, they were lucky not to get relegated they spent so little. So many games they were debuting some 17 or 18 year old. Last game it was Vangelis Theocharis making his debut. Just a constant youth 11. The club just seems to be heading into oblivion which is sad in a way. It is the only Greek club to ever make it to a European Club final.

Aris's final game of the season, a 7-2 thrashing of Xanthi. Fans after the final whistle showing their dedication to the club and players:

One of the few bright things to happen this season. The return of Aris.

Byzantine influenced arched windows that will circumnavigate the arena now being added to AEK's new stadium:

This place will be a very hot stadium.

Is PAOK's recent success sustainable?

Remember when AEK won it in 2018?  Tiger - the owner of AEK worth €4 billion - refused to give any raises so most the team - including the manager just left. So this season they finished 3rd..

Well PAOK the last week has gone the same way after wining the double. Their main central defender since 2016 - Fernando Varela - just left - wasn't offered enough money..

Today they lost Yevhen Shakhov - again there since 2016 - and again, instrumental to their success..

They may be able to replace them... but it wont be easy and this season we plan to outspend PAOK.

AEK sack Jiminez for absolutely no reason.

Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso favourite.

Let's see what he can do, he has a nice football proposal. But has not had much success outside of Portugal.

What type of teams does he build?
