To be honest I have never looked for or noticed it. I am pretty sure if they did have one it would just be showing a constant wallpaper of Essien's pinto 24/7.

PAOK now has a similar channel to Olympiacos - rock music with interviews and videos of the processes of the club, just like Olympiacos. I watched the live stream of their new manager Tudor (of Juventus fame) just after Marco's presentation on the Olympiacos channel and it was quite interesting. He seems a no nonsense type of guy and he is now in charge of one of the biggest nonsense clubs in Greece. He has already been shouting down players for turning up late and not showing respect. Here it is:

Tudor punnished Lucas and Pereira for being late to practice and they refused to pay the fine. So he dropped them from the squad for their first Europa League game tomorrow. Pereira is probably the best player PAOK have. Looks like the self sabotage has started early at PAOK this season. May be hard to blame Olympiacos for this, but I am sure they will find a way.

In other news, PAO from this year onwards have Puma as their new shirt maker. Their new shirts were unveiled tonight:

That second kit is one of the worst i've ever seen 

It will be another walk in the park for you. Can't see Paok and PAO sorting themselves out and AEK have been a lot less ambitious than I expected. Maybe because of this crisis?

AEK are owned by a Pontian Greek, like PAOK. Pontians are notorious for being the Jews of Greece. Meaning they spend less than Jewish Catalan who shops at Lidl.. Tiger is worth close to a billion euros, he simply doesn't like spending. I have no idea how rich Savvidis is, but just look at the squad of PAOK, they would be relegated in one season in the Portuguese division.

AEK I think have built an okay side, perhaps they are hoping to sneak past PAOK and PAO to get a CL spot. They are buying quite a few latin americans. I think Tiger will try and get one big buy to sell shirts. They are looking at either Scocco and Buonanotte as the big signing and sniffing round the right-back Giovanni but Fluminense may have got to him.

Alain Baroja signs a one year loan deal to AEK.

He is the starting Venezuela keeper.

There will probably be more South Americans on their way to AEK. I predict the club will probably look like a bottom half La Liga club by the end of the summer. So far..



.....................Baroja (VEN)........

Galo (BRA).. Arzo (ESP)..Lambro (GRE).. Soliedis (GRE)

Simoes (POR)...Cordero (ESP)...Johansson (SWE)

Barbosa (POR)...Aravidis (GRE)..Vargas (COL)

With Platellas (GRE), Djebbour (ALG), Mantolas (GRE), Zoric (MNE) in the running.

That diamond pattern blue kit of PAO is really ugly. Any team that dresses that way should be forbade of winning anything .

Good luck to your Olympiacos Faliro! Hope you have a great season mate

[Faliro]

Thanks mate ^^ I wish the same for Benfica!

Will be an interesting season. Marco has to start strongly, because the owners of PAO, AEK and PAOK will not hesitate throwing games to make sure Olympiacos doesn't get the league.

Asteras new kit:

Paok 6-0

Yip, worked out for them in the end.

Markarian quit as NT coach. He cited some people sabotaging him who he didn't expect.. Everyone knows he is talking about Karagounis.

Karagounis is basically out of the NT now - but the EPO does not want to fire to him because of the compensation that they will need to pay him. So they are waiting for him to quit..

Complete chaos.

PAO vs Brugge live CL:

Was a mad game. Sanchez got a yellow, then the ref thought about and changed his mind and gave him a straight red. Never seen that before.

Two pens, mad game.

Great victory for PAO with 10 men. They've given themselves a good chance of progressing against a very good Brugge team (managed by one of our best goalkeppers of all time  )

Quite a few people in Greece remembered this keeper.  I had no idea who he was.

Looking at the game it seems the fans managed to pull the team through. I thought Ninis was inspired first half. Was subbed off second due to the red card.

You didn't know him?    

He was one of the best keepers of his generation.

He's a legend for us    Unfortunately he played here in a terrible period for the club and didn't win the trophies he deserved.
