Preview: Panionios vs AEK Athens
By: Chris Paraskevas |After a dismal showing against Iraklis at the OAKA last weekend, Giorgios Donis now faces the unenviable task of taking his new side to the Nea Smyrni for a potentially disastrous fourth round encounter against Panionios.
Coached by the brilliant Ewald Lienen, the Kyanerythri probably won’t have Alvaro Recoba and Fabian Estoyanoff making their GSL debuts [...]
A different kettle of gavroi…
By: Chris Paraskevas |An utterly uninspiring game of football and a turgid performance from the Enosis.
The good news is that we won. And that we won playing terribly. And that we won against Iraklis (consider the result in the context of last season’s OAKA debacle).
Majstorovic had his characteristic schoolboy-error-prone match at the heart of defense, with Kyrgiakos coming [...]
AEK vs Iraklis: Preview
By: Chris Paraskevas |So the official 18-man squad for the Iraklis fixture has been released by Donis and here it is: Saja, Macho, Majstorovic, Alexopoulos, Kyrgiakos, Edson Ramos Silva, Juanfran, Georgeas, Basinas, Pliatsikas, Rikka, Pelletieri, Kafes, Lagos, Scocco, Edinho, Blanco, Djebbour.

PAOK 1-1 AEK: Dikefalos Aetos Survive
By: Chris Paraskevas |Survival is the word that springs to mind when reflecting upon what was a typical derby match between two sides in-form.
If any AEK fan were to be offered a total of four points from the opening two matches this season, he or she would have no hesitation in taking it, considering the relative quality of [...]

For those of you out there in the blogosphere wondering where I’ve been for the past few days, the answer is, sitting in front of my computer screen each and every day without fail, trying to think up witty and insightful entries to appease all of you loyal followers [...]
Pelletieri signs, Pliatsikas called-up, good week gets great!
By: Chris Paraskevas |Geia sas!
After announcing the exciting acquisition of striker Rafik Djebbour and then proceeding to deservedly beat PAO in an oh-so-sweet-but-ever-so-crucial derby clash, AEK yesterday announced officially the season-long loan signing of Lanus midfielder Agustin Pelletieri, with an option to make the 25 year-old’s move a permanent one at the end of the campaign.
What a week [...]
Bad week gets a whole lot better
By: Chris Paraskevas |Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
There could not have been a more appropriate response by Donis’ players to one of the most tumultuous weeks in the club’s recent history, as our beloved Enosis outfought, outplayed and out-enthused a woeful PAO outfit on Sunday evening.
As expected, it wasn’t an attractive game of football by any stretch of the imagination [...]
