Well, that's it then. Everton traveled to Athens, scored their single goal quickly and then hunkered down behind the ball, conceded the bulk of possession and showed how hard it is to break down a defensively organized side.

We conceded early, due to poor marking. It looked to me like Gorgeas just let his man slide right by him on the wing, receive a lay-off pass and fire it into the ol'onion bag.

Yes, I know we have been so incredibly lucky lately, but for a bit of bad news, it looks like the deal with Kozonis might not go through, at least not yet.

Notias was supposed to meet with Kozonis yesterday, however, we started hearing things about rain in New York preventing Notias from flying out.

This match proved one thing: This is the worst AEK we have ever seen.

The match started terribly, with plenty of chances for Panionios to score until the 21st, when they did manage to get their first goal. Riera and Estoyianoff absolute tore AEK up this evening. Estoyianoff was able to get past our defence with ease while Riera missed some dangerously close chances.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone! Hopefully we can all enjoy the last few days of 2009 with plenty of rest and joy despite this not being the greatest of years for AEK.

I would just like to apologize for not posting lately, I injured my knee last Saturday and it makes things alot harder to do.

Below I basically just pasted some notes that we made with the help of my father (who's Greek is much better than mine). What is below is just pasted so I apologize if it isn't organized well. Also, it is all from unofficial sites, so it is quite possible none of it is true.

Here is the official press release from the amateurs, http://www.

To update what AEKMAN already posted. I went on Monday all the grafiti was painted.As of right now though, it hasn't been the Originals involved (they have been very quiet so far and we haven't seen them anywhere). It's mostly been the Ano Patissia Club, which is separate from the Originals.

Below is a translation from AEK's site stating what is going on at the moment. Sorry the translation isn't very good.

H PAE AEK referring to the case of transfer of shares, made the following announcement:

"After consultation between the k.Notia and k.Kozoni the preliminary agreement for the transfer of shares of AEK FC will not be signed.

Not the greatest quality, but heres a video of the goals:

So, 3-2 against Levadeiakos (who currently sit second from last) when we had a two goal lead. Not good enough. Even in our terrible state we should not be giving up two goal leads to teams like this. But, nonetheless, we got the three points and we now move up to fifth, thanks largely to PAOK who drew with Kavala as well as Panionios who drew with Larissa, and Aris who lost at home to Tripolis!

We lost 2-1 to Benfica yesterday in a game which made no difference to either side (Bate beat Everton 1-0 away). The funny thing here, however, is despite this match meaning nothing to AEK (except a little pride) we saw some pleasing football from our players.

Benfica hit the post on a penalty early on which kept us in the game for quite a while but our luck didn't last too long as Benfica scored two goals (the first one took a nasty bounce though Saja still should have been able to save it) without response from AEK.
