What do you think of Epicurus?

Like the Romans were, I am a massive fan of Epicurus. Pure logic and a good way to live one's life.

But don't try and get out if it.. if Santos dares return to Greece, I will not forgive you. 

That's OK. I can live with that. As long as he leaves I'll be relieved. Even if that's the price to pay.

Evil. Took me years to rid Santos from Greece.

At least he never managed Olympiacos. He sadly managed Benfica. When he was announced as our manager a lot of us were intently depressed. Sporting and Porto fans don't miss him as their manager either. He had this fetish for getting knocked out at home against lower tier teams in the Portuguese Cup.

Olympiacos would never even tolerate a coach like him. Fans would be at the training field at Renti in 5 minutes pelting his car with rocks.. his style of football plus his selections make him repulsive.

PAOK fucked.

So... a poor transfer season because Savvidis didn't return to Greece to oversee a proper strategy. However they sold their star player Tzolis and did not replace him. So... today, at home, losing to Aris 0-1 and being outplayed by them, in the final minutes of extra time.. this happens..

Always a party in Greece.

A fan of PAOK died of cardiac arrest @ the stadium. yikes

[Faliro]

Yes, tragic. I am amazed they arrested 4 PAOK fans. Must be a record. Usually zero arrests.

The ref was Bobby Madden. He posted this image on his insta explaining it is not a photoshop..

Seems we may be saved. The EPO - with their ridiculous amount of hangers-on can only afford €600k per year for a coach. I believe Santos is on around 1.5 million.

Gattuso being linked

Not sure how I feel about that. He done anything in Italy?

For me it has to be Valverde.

Faliro, is this poll accurate?

Didn't know PAO was so close to Olympiacos in terms of support

Probably yes. Panathinaikos has massive support but they stay away when PAO lose, hence their name, "the rabbits." For decades PAO was the bigger club than Olympiacos but shit owner after shit owner has diminished them greatly. Remember also Piraeus is a separate city to Athens and Athens itself is huge.. and PAO probably dominate Athens proper. Olympiacos has many fans on the islands, Peloponnese and beyond though.. so this redresses the balance.

When I first joined these forums a few Benfiquistas told me the Greek league will never be competitive without a strong PAO. They are right. However their demise was self inflicted.

Their new stadium will be built soon, there is an auction for the constructors about to begin. I have said it before but will say it again, once this stadium is built, the club will rise far above AEK (never a big a club as PAO) and PAOK. Alafouzos has done the club massive harm too.. he never even wanted it..

When AEK, PAO, PAOK and Aris all have their new stadia, the reality is PAO will take its traditional position behind Olympiacos again. It is like Cruzeiro.. like them or loathe them, they are destined to be a big club.

Surprised to see Giannina in there.

Yea, good spot. I think they are overstated by this poll and Aris understated slightly. I mean Iraklis, even now, has more fans than PAS and Atromitos. OFI looks a little understated too. AEK looks about right.

Whats the club before Atromitos? Smyrnis?

You mean PAS Giannina?

I think the Athens clubs goes as follows,

PAO
AEK
Panionios
Atromitos
Aegaleo
Fostiras
Kyfissia
Glyfada
Apollon Smyrnis

I really can't see any Apollon fans anywhere and they have one of the best stadiums in Athens too.


Atromitos should have gone down years ago but they merged with the then successful Xalkidona FC to take their league position.

The most popular Piraeus clubs are:
Olympiacos
Ethinkos (used to be quite good)
Ionikos
Proodeftiki

One final thought, if you were to add together the Niki Volou and Olympiakos Volou fans as one bundle, they would be just after OFI on the list.
