Sorry for the delay for this one. AEKMAN74 posted a good summary of the game which you can check out as well.

Well, my Father and I decided that since I only have half a year left in Greece before I, unfortunately, have to return to North America for university (don't get me wrong, I love North America, I just don't know how long I'll be able to stay away from AEK) we'd go up to Thessaloniki and watch this one so I could experience a proper away game.

Olympiacos F.C. (Greek: .Α.Ε. Ολυμπιακός), also known as simply Olympiacos, Olympiacos Piraeus or with its full name Olympiacos C.F.P. (Greek: Oλυμπιακός Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων ειραιώς), is a Greek football club that is part of Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus, Athens.

Yes, the N5er is alive and happy. Arsenal beat those gits at Hull City last night with a sensational last minute goal from everyones favorite egomaniac, Nicky Bendtner! So I am happy. I have been traveling around Greece for the last few weeks after finishing up my work in the lovely country of Cyprus.

Due to yesterday's death in Athens as a result of large protests and riots, today's games between AEK-Aris and PAOK-Olympiakos have been called off and will be scheduled for another date. I haven't heard news yet about when that date will be.

More details here.

Eddie Johnson, Aris Thessaloniki (Greece)
Away to AEK Athens, 2-4, 90 minutes, 1 Goal
Eddie Johnson started and played the full 90, netting a goal for Aris, but Freddy Adu was left on the bench as they fell 2-4 in a heated match in which both sides ended with nine men on the pitch.

Krisztian Nemeth's agent has revealed that the Liverpool striker is attracting interest from a number of clubs other than Olympiakos.
Reports in Greece have suggested that Nemeth is poised to join Olympiakos after the two clubs agreed a deal for him to move.
The Hungarian's representative Viktor Kovesdi admits that negotiations have taken place over a switch but insists nothing has been decided yet.

Jozy Altidore and Villarreal will look to take care of business at home against Greek team PAOK while Sacha Kljestan will hope to see some time on the field for Anderlecht when they host AEK Athens.

I'm downloading the match right now and will watch it when its completed. In the meantime Ill add what I've heard being mentioned so far.

First of all, huge win! We needed a positive result to pick ourselves up after stumbling with Anderlecht, and we did it. As AEKMAN74 stated, Manolo made a few unexpected choices, but it sounds as thought they've paid off.

Bad taste bear: Charlie Itandje

"Liverpool FC has released Charles Itandje from his contract and the goalkeeper has signed a two and half year contract with Greek Super League club Atromitos.

"He will officially join the Athens-based club on January 1, 2011.

The Gods of War roll into Athens on Sunday evening looking for their third consecutive win and a chance to reclaim the fourth spot in the standings.

The visiting Black and Gold brigade took the early lead in Athens thanks to Eddie Johnson's second tally of the season, but conceded minutes before the curtain fell.

Daniel Agger Sends Us to Athens! SEASON SUMMARY The 2006-2007 season was about the Champions League and yet another 3rd place finish... yet it was clear that something was missing in this squad. Never has 3rd place looked so much like 10th. Away from Anfield Liverpool were absolutely dreadful, not scoring a goal or picking up a [.

Rafael Benítez must decide upon the future of young Liverpool striker Krisztian Nemeth or risk losing him this summer, according to the player's agent.
Tibor Pataky told Goal.com UK that 21-year-old Nemeth - who is currently on loan at Greek side AEK Athens - would be happy to return to Anfield at the end of the season, but hinted at interest from across Europe.

Liverpool have been told by UEFA that they will only receive around 12,000 tickets for the Europa League final in Hamburg if they get past Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.
The Reds face the Spaniards in the first leg on Thursday night with supporters being warned that thousands won't be able to get their hands on a ticket for the final on May 12.

I did this in 2006 for Portland, so here's another round for Athens. That's Georgia, not Greece.
Portland is a football-mad city--more than 10,000 people turned up for the Italy v. France 2006 final shown on a giant screen downtown in Pioneer Square. I confess that 2/3 of us have been more than a little worried that we'd spend the month watching every single match alone in our living room.

Hunkered in our living room(s) or drinking at inappropriate times in our local pub(s)... apm will be watching and blogging about every World Cup game.
We'll also be Tweeting! And if you want to follow us there while we vent our spleen or wax poetically about some player or team who defies the script of the tournament.

We've had some great feedback in comments and email on other places in town to watch the World Cup and are happy to report there are more of us soccerheads than we thought out there in Athens. Here's what we've learned so far. Original post on where to watch the World Cup in Athens, Georgia is here.

I didn't know what to expect from my new home Athens, Georgia during World Cup. American tackleball is huge here... a religion... and something taken very seriously. So I figured only a few places would be showing matches. Much to my surprise there are quite a few pubs, restaurants, and cafes doing so.

It's official: the reign of Otto Rehhagel as Greece manager, which lasted nearly nine years, has ended. The EPO have confirmed they're searching for a new successor, heavily tipped to be former AEK Athens and PAOK coach Fernando Santos, who represents something of a risk given it'll be his first [read more]

Liverpool forward Krisztian Nemeth is being linked with a £1 million move to Italian side Lecce, the price covering a 50% ownership of the player's rights, according to the Mail Online.
The 21-year-old signed for Liverpool from MTK during the summer of 2007 for an undisclosed fee, thought to be a basic compensation package, but failed to break into the senior squad during Rafael Benitez's time at the club.

Kafes, who has played before for the Greek National team, will return once again while Savvas Gentzoglou will get his first call up. It is likely that both will feature in Greece's upcoming friendly match in preparation for Euro 2012. I truly believe both of these players have something to add to the team and will both bring some much needed security and stability to our midfield.

First, the story at the front of everyone's minds, the senseless attack on Bajevic.

NBC sports picked up the story from the Reuters service and has it posted here.

Blic, an online English-language Serbian newspaper has the story here.

And, of course, the Scottish Press has picked up on the story since Dundee's fans have to travel to Athens to support their club in our Europa League match this month.

Ipswich are reportedly set for a loan move for Celtic and Ireland defender Darren O'Dea.
The Dublin born international is not set to be a first choice in manager Neil Lennon's defence this season, and he is looking to gain first-team football.
The 23-year-old has already played at Championship level after a spell at Reading last season, and is due in Suffolk on Monday to agree terms over a spell under form Hoops man Roy Keane at Portman Road.

Sources here in the Netherlands say that AEK is interested in buying Dutch defender Kew Jaliens from AZ Alkmaar, former Dutch champion. With Majstorovic gone that would make a lot of sense, because Jaliens is an experienced defender who usually plays on the right back position, but can also play as central defender.

Due to the dangerous playing surface,the 2nd leg of the Europa League clash between AEK and Dundee Utd will be moved from the Olympic Stadium to another as yet unnaounced ground in Athens.
AEK and UEFA officials have inspected the ground this afternoo and the decision was made to change venue.

The BBC and other British media outlets are reporting the good news! AEK beat a UEFA deadline and secured a new stadium for this week's second-leg Europa League clash with Dundee United! We are all set to play them at Nea Smyrni. According to the BBC:

AEK Athens have beaten a Uefa deadline to find an alternative venue for their meeting with Dundee United and it will now be played at Nea Smyrni Stadium.

Possessive Greeks Fans of Greek side Panionios were so infuriated when they heard rivals AEK Athens were going to play a Europa League clash with Dundee United at their stadium they vandalised their own ground to stop the match going ahead. AEK's pitch has been recently relaid and was not playable in time for tonight's match.

Why? Because they hated the idea of rivals AEK Athens playing as the home team at their stadium so much, that they trashed their own stadium...

AEK failed to bring their Olympic Stadium to up to UEFA Europa League standards and so had to find a local alternative.

A UEFA divulgou as verbas que distribuiu pelos clubes que participaram na Liga Europa 09/10. Se bem que sejam sensivelmente s distribuídas na Champions League, não há dúvida que há um acréscimo bem grande ao que se pagava na Taça UEFA. Não se pode esquecer ainda as receitas provenientes da venda de bilhetes.

The solution to the sudden international retirement of goal machine Theofanis Gekas, who's currently in red-hot form for Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt?

None other than 35 year-old AEK Athens striker Nikos Lyberopoulos, who recently enjoyed a successful spell with the same club before returning to his spiritual home this season.

Our new manager,who we hope will be the saviour of our AEK,has touched down in Athens.He was greeted at the airport by about 150 jubilant supporters who kept on singing his name,and other songs,regarding our enemies.
He stopped briefly to give an interview to the waiting press,who could barely breath as they were surrounded by AEK fans.

The Europa League is back in action today, with several quality match-ups on the schedule and two Americans in action.

Sacha Kljestan earned the start for Anderlecht in its clash against Greek side AEK Athens. Jozy Altidore isn't in the starting lineup for Villarreal's match against Greek side PAOK, but he is likely to see time as a reserve.

Sacha Kljestan and Anderlecht beat AEK Athens 3-0 in the Europa League's Group G on Thursday. Kljestan was in the starting lineup and Anderlecht was a goal up after 37 minutes through Mbark Boussoufa. Romelu Lukaku made it 2-0 in the 71st, with Roland Juhasz finishing off the scoring five mines later.

If FC Barcelona had won yesterday's Champions League match against FC København at the Parken, they would have qualified themselves automatically for the next round. The Danes had another idea in mind however, and the Catalans walked away with a draw, making a win in Athens against Panathinaikos imperative.

Jozy Altidore will likely see minutes for Villarreal when they try to maintain their Group D lead over hosts PAOK while Sacha Kljestan could also figure in as Anderlecht try to take hold on second place in Athens.

Jozy Altidore and Sacha Kljestan both got the start for their respective teams in Europa League group action, as Villarreal slipped to third with a loss while Anderlecht remained second with a draw in Athens.
