5 Portuguese starting in Cardoso's AEK:

Simões + Simão haha

They didn't look too good but it was probably the first time they played together.

Oliveira looks like he wants to play hard. Paulinho was actually one of their best.

Interestingly Geraldes looks like this:



As for Basaksehir - they looked quite organised - but not very. Robinho looks very effeminate - I remember now why I never liked that player - he could have scored but instead decided to pass. Their defenders like to foul. Look a fairly strange team. We have to be forceful with them.

Wow, really like the new Xanthi shirt:

And on the subject of Xanthi, they sign Eduardo Teixeira from Braga!

Very good signing.

Very good signing.

Interesting, it is the most expensive signing in Xanthi's history.  Hopefully this signing brings the fans.

Talocha also signed for Atromitos today. Very average defender.

Aris

They were raped my dear friend Calcio. Artificial pitch made Aris look like some old pub team and Molde looked like an Arsenal youth side.

The coach, Savvas Pantelidis, who was banned from the touchline also made some mistakes. Should have started Fetfatzidis (who has started all the other games) who is
made for this kind of game. Instead he left Tonso on for over 60 minutes - a player who is finished as a professional. Basha in the midfield was poor and Sundgren very vulnerable. Ideye didn't offer much - Larsson looked far better.

I doubt Aris can come back from this, the rematch will be worth a watch though.

Atromitos drew 0-0 with Legia in Warsaw. Very good result for them. All 3 of their Greek defenders are good enough to play in Iberia at the top level - Goutas, Katranis and Risvanis. All superb professionals. If there is one thing Greece produces - it is exceptional CBs and serviceable FBs.

AEK made mince meat of Craiova  - beat them 0-2 in Romania. Looks like Mantalos is finally starting to get back to where he was before that terrible injury.

AEK's new stadium filmed at dawn today by drone. The internal concrete works are complete. Just need to place the last of the concrete stands on the south side. That will take about 2 days. Stadium still wont be ready though this season it seems.

This will be one of the finest stadiums in all of Europe.

Fantastic tribute to Byzantine civilization.

Mateo Garcia?

Mateo Garcia? 

IMO better than Marin. A proper winger who has goals.

Better than Marin!! OMG. It seems like they are different types. Marin has a fantasy, he has goals. But he is still not ours.
