PAOK vs Besiktas. Tough game.

Yes, played in the Toumba in a one off game. A lot of money at stake.

I think I may support PAOK for this game.

Great victory for PAOK. That kid is that good?

Yes. That good. Looked impressive in the last few games of the season too. 18  and very hungry and confident.

Benfica vs. PAOK for the millionth time.

With the same result as last time.

That would be nice.

I think we always won at their stadium? Our record against PAOK is nearly 100% victorious, I think.

PAOK just remembers me of the seasons we did not win the championship.

[Faliro]

I think Benfica is too strong for PAOK - even at the Toumba, even with a resurgent PAOK.

BTW I think the Toumba crowd many times works against PAOK (I know there will not be a crowd in the game anyway). They turn on their team very easily and put massive pressure of their team. PAO fans often do the same to their team.

In 13/14 we won it.

Interesting cuz I've seen several fans saying we got the strongest team out of the possible options. Some do say AZ Alkmaar is stronger, however.

Anyway I'm not afraid. If we can't beat fucking PAOK then what's the point of playing Champions League football?

Precisely.

The first 30 mins crucial. In my opinion Benfica should load the attack from the first minute.

Same as Sporting, it's unbelievable the amount of whistling their own players

Xanthi relegated.

With Panionios it's 2 teams that added flavour to the league.


Giannina & Smyrnis promoted. Don't have much feedback on them. I would like to see Ergotelis, Chania and Panachaiki promoted tho.

Yes two big losses.

Panionios finally ran out of luck and Xanthi were finished the moment Savvidis got involved with them.

Apollon dont have any fans but a good stadium. Giannina have a terrible stadium and around 4000 fans. Both wont add anything.

I see you want Cretan football to evolve. I believe as the smaller Cretan teams rise, Platanias too.. there will be more pressure on OFI to build a proper stadium. OFI should be bigger than they are - especially when you look at the size of Iraklion.

As for Panaxaiki - the biggest failure of all. Fans, a decent stadium, a good city but just clueless management.

Kalamata has new ownership and they may be back soon if the hype I heard first hand in the Peloponese is to be believed.

Limnios of PAOK has coronavirus, however his moving to cologne is almost complete anyway so that is one less player Benfica have to worry about. He was sold for a bargain basement price of 3.3 million euros having rejected an 8 mil offer a few months ago..

They are bringing in zivkovic, Ninua, Janko and Adrian Pereira.

They are not reinforcing but getting weaker.

Zivkovic it's a good move. If he keeps his focus only on football he is a good player. There's still time to do good things.
