I am relieved to announce the addition of at least one new face to the AEK roster for this season, with the acquisition of Rafik Djebbour from Panionios for a fee rumoured to be around the €3 million mark.
Whether the Algerian will command a role during tonight’s crucial derby match against Panathinaikos is another story [...]

Bad week gets a whole lot worse…

It’s official: AEK will not be playing European football this season, courtesy of two quality strikes by Albanian veteran Klodian Duro.
And quite frankly, as a club and as a team, they don’t deserve to. Across 180 minutes of football, we barely broke down AC Omonia, who arguably aren’t even Cyprus’ strongest side. To me, it [...]

He’s out and it’s about time.
There are those amongst us AEKtizes who will be devastated to see World Cup-winner Rivaldo leave the OAKA Spiros Louis, supposedly in pursuit of a bigger paycheck in the East. In truth it probably has more to do with the impending exit of his close ally and friend, Demis Nikolaidis, [...]

I thought it appopriate to announce the impending exit of Demis Nikolaidis in what I understand is one of his favourite languages – so much so that he even speaks to Rivaldo in Spanish? Correct me if I’m wrong…
In any case, Nikolaidis called the press conference and did what this blog had expected him to [...]

It feels like our first legitimate win of the pre-season in so many ways. After all, we can only consider the win over EPL side Bolton in the context of the Athenian disaster that followed the following week. How can we remember anything pre-Omonia-at-home? Painful stuff.
Nonetheless, we scored 2 goals and beat a Dutch Eridivisie [...]

By: Chris Paraskevas | No Comments
AEK could be in the hands of a new owner within the space of a few hours, with rumors now circulating that a press conference called by current president Demis Nikolaidis for Friday, 22nd August, 11 am local time, could be used to announce his departure from AEK.
The man tipped to be his replacement is [...]

By: Chris Paraskevas | No Comments
By most accounts, a fairly open match and a nice goal scored by Rivaldo. Alexopoulos looks in really good nick and apparently produced a cracking performance and it was nice to see Juanfran get forward a little more and to see Aussie Burns get an hour under his belt. Saja also seems to be shaping [...]

Still no sign of them then?
Kyrgiakos and Basinas join Rehhagel’s squad to take on Slovakia, consequently missing tonight’s friendly against Serie A outfit Bologna, which doesn’t help Donis’ preparations for the crunch UEFA Cup Qualifier in Nicosia next week. We desperately need both of them to inject some life into a flat side…
On the flip [...]

Exactly what went wrong against Omonia?
All of the warning signs were there, plain to see, just one day before the Kitrinomavri entertained their Mediterranean ‘cousins’, if you will.
Aside from the fact that it appears as though the side were expecting a comfortable victory and were shocked – admittedly with a large stroke of fortune [...]

I’ve got to dash but I thought I’d let everyone who didn’t know already of what seems to be the inevitable UEFA Cup disaster that befalls this side every season…Yes AC OMONIA BEAT AEK.
It literally took the referee’s assistance to do it but surely no excuses can be made for Donis and his side, [...]
