Beyonce, BATE and Bob The Builder

As always, nothing ever even slightly connected to AEK Athens is simple or easy.
Take for example, the fact that I had already fashioned this blog entry a mere few days ago. The reason it didn’t turn up then? An Offside blogger’s nightmare: namely not bothering to continually “Save” the article on Wordpress due to a [...]

When Urban Dictionary Is Oh So Right…

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments 4 Comments

I barely knew of the existence of Urban Dictionary until a few weeks ago and perhaps its best that way, seeing as how I would have been tempted to use it as I desperately completed a number of university assignments with only hours remaining till their deadline last semester – I’m not sure my lecturers [...]

Conspiracy Theories Welcome

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

Well, it’s that time again: conspiracy theories about Olympiakos will be rife after a rather poor performance by referee Georgios Daloukas (see the aptly named video embedded below) but the reality of the situation is that – again – AEK simply proved that the gap has widened between themselves and Greece’s best club.
Aside from the [...]

And now for the Toffees…

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

Well, we’re a few hours out from what could be a memorable trip to Merseyside and English opposition naturally brings out somewhat nostalgic conversations with the old man about AEK’s European history (particularly against English opposition).
Apart from his recollection of an away win over Derby, from past conversations I seem to remember that AEK generally [...]

Memo to Bajevic: Send fruit basket to Rafa Benitez

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments 5 Comments

Sotiris Kyrgiakos might have been something of a steal for Liverpool at a rather paltry £2-or-so million – and some of that will most certainly have to go towards a lavish fruit basket (not that his stomach needs expanding) for Rafa Benitez.
For the Spaniard appears to have blessed AEK with one of the most exciting [...]

Rising From The Ashes

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

It’s been a hellish pre-season – and last 18 months generally – if you’re an AEK Athens fan, with the departure of presidents, managers and players adding to a sense of helplessness that is heightened with every new Panathinaikos or Olympiakos transfer dealing.
Over the past week the club has risen from the ashes somewhat though, [...]

Who needs the English Premier League? Oh, that’s right…

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

…clearly, Sotiris Kyrgiakos does, AEK’s talisman, captain and resident “belt-the-crap-out-of-all-players-and-annoying-VIPs-in-my-path” Greece international leaving the club this week in the biggest transfer in the history of Greek football.
His destination? None other than Liverpool, which makes his move oh-so-special within the context of a growing number of Greeks representing their country abroad.
Aside from the obvious advantages this [...]

OK…It’s going to be a VERY long season…

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as though I wasn’t expecting a 3-1 loss to Spanish outfit Mallorca in AEK’s most recent friendly encounter but it doesn’t stop the result – combined with the general lack of movement both in terms of club investment and player transfers – from adding to a sense of utter [...]

D’Alessandro Linked, Edinho Gone…

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

A bit of an update on the transfer market, with serial bottle-kicker Edinho set to be officially unveiled as a Malaga player in the very near future, as confirmed by the Spanish club’s official website (and for those who can’t speak Spanish and are familiar with the figure of the brooding centre-forward, the picture should [...]

Finally Some Good News

By: Chris Paraskevas | Comments No Comments

This week has brought news that the administrators have managed to raise 6 million euro in share capital with a view to taking that number up to 15 million, it was officially announced on the AEK Athens website.
Wonderful news given the club’s well-documented recent financial struggles, with the likes of Panathinaikos having embarked on a [...]
