So, a two hour press conference was held by Thanopoulos today. Reporters said it was very
sincere, "straight from the heart" kind of stuff. Clearly not saying what he is being told to say
but rather what is true.
So, progress should be made soon with regards to Kozonis. A paper should be signed this weekend
stating both sides are intending to go through with the deal (or something along those lines) and
if all goes well (no arguments or hidden debts suddenly showing up) the transition will occur
December 31st.

So, a nice, relatively comfortable win on Monday brought us up from ninth to joint fifth.
We got the three points we so desperately needed, as well as a little bit of reassurance for the
players and fans. Beating a team like Larissa with a score of 3-1 is always a nice thing. Sure,
Larissa might not be at their best, but they are rarely an easy team to win against (I feel like
I've said that many times already this season).

So, one point from a game where it won't really do much to help us. In reality though, we could
have come away with all three points had we managed to score one more of our chances, or had Saja
not made a terrible mistake that the goalkeeper on my own amateur team would likely avoid.
Well, AEKBaltimore will watch the match on TV soon, since I believe he recorded it, and I'm not
sure if AEKMAN74 watched as well.

So, as is typical with AEK, we blow an early 1-0 lead and end up with a draw (today, the match
against PAS, the Cup Final, the match with BATE).
My stream today was poor quality, so I can't comment as much as I could have. But basically what
we saw throughout the match was that we had many chances, yet we only scored one of them.

After a pretty good performance by AEK, we are up 1-0 from a Manduca header off of a fine cross
from Karabelas. Some great chances for us, including one with Manduca and one with Blanco.
Ergotelis started stronger but we picked up the tempo around the 20th minute and we are now
dominating for the most part.

We are officially a club in crisis.
A lackluster AEK missed chance after chance, and it was 0-0 after regular time. Â Then, in the
14th minute of extra time, Thrasyvoulos nicked a goal and they held their lead through the rest of
extra time. Â That is it then. Â We are out of the Greek Cup, felled by a Division B team.

Ok, to be honest, I was expecting a loss for AEK here. Aris were considered favorites for this
game and I think that's somewhat justified. Bearing that in mind, I'll take a draw here. Its never
easy to win away against Aris, even on a good day.
I wasn't able to watch the match since it was satellite.

Well, our night went from good to about as bad as it could get. As you can see from the post
below we were up 1-0 at half time.
The second half started and early on Majstorovic gets his second yellow and is sent off and Bate
tie the game. So, one of our key players is sent off, the pitch condition is deteriorating (and it
was disgusting to begin with) and we were loosing the control over the game we had before.

45 minutes in and we're leading this one 1-0! Blanco scored a penalty (certainly the correct
call) to put us up and we now are in a great position and the win is definately possible.
Conditions are terrible in Minsk. It is extremely cold (near zero degrees celcius) and the pitch
is extremely wet.

Dopo la due giorni di

Europa League. In campo, per quanto riguarda

Genoa e le due romane. Trasferta insidiosa per i liguri che fanno visita ai
francesi del

As Greeksoccer reports, Robert Kozonis, a wealthy bussiness man from Chicago is interested in
becoming the main owner of AEK. This could be great for the club. He apparently has the necessary
funds, and is not worried by the debt. The link discusses more details.
This is the kind of guy that can make the difference with AEK.

AEK returned to the winners circle with a much needed but largely unimpressive victory over the
team from Komotini at OAKA.The visitors actually took the lead in the 26th minute when Majstorovic
got turned "inside out" by their striker Buval in the box and he left Saja clutching at air with a
nice finish.

Uefa have dismissed Aek's appeal over the 3 match ban given to our Argentinian right full back
Carlos Araujo,for his send off against Everton at Goodison Park in the first match of the Europa
League.He therefore will miss the 2 matches against Bate and the away game to Benfica,returning for
the last group game against Everton at the OAKA.

Kanellopoulos has given his 13.5 % of shares to the amateur club so that they now have a 23.5 %
share of the club. A pretty big share of the club indeed. Dimitris Hatzichristos as many of you
will know is the head of the amateurs and Original21.
What will happen from this move nobody can say yet.

First off, the highlights:
AEKMAN74 posted a review earlier on this match which covered most of the main points so be sure
to check that out as well. I'd just like to add a few things.
We lined up with Saja as keeper, Araujo, Arce, Majstorovic, and Georgeas (who played left back)
playing defence, Hersi, Geurreiro, Jahic, and Manduca playing Midfield, with Scocco and Blanco
playing attack.

A 1 Nil loss away to Xanthi on Monday night has brought the AEK players back down to earth after
what will be our famous victory over Benfica,by the same scoreline in the Europa League,midweek.My
comments are based on play between the 20th and 70th minute due to technical difficulties(no
stream),so hopefully Aekbaltimore orAlexaek wiil have a more indepth review.

A resurgent AEK overcame a depressing 4-0 thrashing to Everton two weeks ago to grind out a
surprising but deserved 1-0 victory over Portugeuese powerhouse club Benfica FC.
The night started dismally for AEK. Playing what I believe was a 4-2-3-1 with Saja in goal and
Juanfran, Arce, Marjstorovic, and Gorgeas in the back, Kafes and Jahic in defensive midfield roles,
Manduca, Scocco and Hersi forming a three-man attacking line and Blanco playing lone goal-poacher
up top, AEK struggled for possession early on.

A huge win for us, absolutely incredible! So many good things to say, its going to take a while.
I believe AEKBaltimore recorded the game since it was on in the US as well, so hopefully he will
have some more comments as well.
First off, let me just repeat that once more. AEK 1-0 Benfica.

Finally, the victory we've been waiting for. The victory we needed. Our team, loaded with a
hastily-assembled talent and led by an excellent coach, just needed a little but of confidence to
gel and see us through, and we got it tonight with a decisive Europe League win over Portuguese
powerhouse Benfica.

Makis Psomiadis, a previous owner of AEK who stole millions of EUROs from the club, will now
face jail time. He's been sent to prison before but got out of it and I really wouldn't be
surprised if he gets out of it again. Too bad though, the guy deserves nothing more than some sever
punishment for the harm he caused to our club.

So, another derby lost. That makes it the first time we've lost two derbies in a row in about
ten years. Not a good sign.
Not many positives to take from this game, both sides played some pretty poor football. I'm not
going to bother writing much as there is little to say. Firstly, our forwards still can't
score.

Well, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the post AEKBaltimore put up. Since the match
alot has happened, most regarding the horrendous officiating at the match. But first, a review.
For everyone who has been following AEK you know how incredibly unlucky we tend to be,
especially when it matters most.

Obviously not the result we were hoping for. The lads did indeed show up to play tonight but the
final touch wasn't there. Creating and finishing chances is a huge part of football though, so
we've only ourselves to blame (well, maybe the refs can share the blame!). I was stuck in the
office for this match, but I was able to watch a low-quality stream for about twenty minutes in the
second half.

Decent match preview here. We've had a bit of a bad run lately, so it's hard not to be
nervous. But if our lads show up to play, there is no question we are the better team.

The FIFA Under-20 World Cup starts tomorrow (Thursday) in Egypt, and ESPN has identified eleven
players it believes will stand-out in the tournament. Among them is our own Krisztian Nemeth:
Krisztian Nemeth (Hungary & Liverpool)
Krisztian Nemeth joins Liverpool team-mates Andras Simon and keeper Peter Gulacsi in the Hungary
squad, although he is currently on loan to Greek side AEK Athens.

Very dissapointing result,considering we had the match "in the bag".It was a very dfferent AEK
that started today's game from what we've been seeing recently.No
Blanco,Leonardo(rested)Scocco(suspended).Bajevic started with the diminutive Pavlis up front and in
truth he had little impact.Nemeth,playing just behind was dangerous and he set up Pavlis or
Manducca(not sure) 1 0n 1 on the 1st half,with the ball ending up in the stands.

An extremely disappointing result today for AEK in Giannena.
Our starting lineup consisted of Saja, Araujo, Majstorovic, Arce, Juanfran, Hersi, Guerreiro,
Jahic, Manduca, Nemeth, Pavlis.
I can't comment much on the first half since I could only watch the second half, but from what I
heard we saw some decent passing from the team.

AEK Archives 20 September @ 08:13 AM EST
Well, our match in Giannena starts in a little under an hour. Our most likely starting lineup is
said to be Saja, Araujo, Majstorovic, Arce, Juanfran, Jahic, Guerreiro, Hersi, Manduca, Nemeth, and
Blanco. We will be going 4-4-2 with Blanco and Nemeth up front. A good line-up in my opinion, very
strong, with some experienced players.

Anish references the six referee rule that Michel Platini has implemented for the Europa Cup and
already David Moyes is irate because he believes that the goal line assistants missed a deliberate
foul on Louis Saha by AEK's Juanfran which got the Everton striker sent off as he retaliated.
So why is it not going to work:
The Parallax error.
