So, I know its a bit late, but I figured I'd get a short review of the season up (even though
its a season, one of many, that I would ultimately like to forget about)..
I guess it would be most appropriate to start from the beginning though in all honesty, I can
barely remember much from the first half of the season!
I'll try to keep some live updates of the match here for those without a way to watch it. From
what I know, the three links below will show a stream of the match:

I'll add more streams if I come across any.
So, just a little over a week after we won our first Cup in so many years (despite the rather
depressing events which followed after the match), us AEK fans were treated to yet another pleasing
weekend. This time, however, the attention was not only on our football team, but also our Handball
guys, a group of players who have fought hard and gave everything they had to offer to the club for
the past three years.
Alright, so I'm not sure whether I should start with the positives, or the negatives from this
match. Either way, I'm sure most of you have read about yesterday's events by now.
So, the big day had come. For months I had been waiting for it, as I'm certain you all have
also, and slowly the hours passed by, one by one, until it was time to finally head off to OAKA for
my first time in almost five months.
Im pretty sure Ive used that title before but Im going to use it again because I feel it works
for the occasion. Today, in the same stadium, against the same team we so miserably drew 0-0 with
five days ago, we witnessed a performance from AEK that was unlike anything we've seen yet this
season (in my opinion).
The roller coaster ride that has been AEK this season continues yet again, this time as a result
of a 2-1 home loss to Aris (only the 3rd time Aris has beaten us at home).
It wasn't all bad for me personally as I felt there were some positives to take from the game
including some nice football we were playing, particularly in the first half.
We NEEDED a win and thankfully that's just what we got! Now, before we get too confident, this
was Panserraikos we played. An AEK team that we the fans want should beat this team EVERY match,
home and away, and comfortably, rather than having us threaten the team not to return if they lose.
Yes, we got the win, but let's not forget the fact that we still have many problems which need to
be resolved, ASAP.
I was really looking forward to this game today as it was going to be my first AEK match that
I'd be seeing live since last season. I'm now sitting here wondering what I was all excited about
in the first place!
First match of the new year after a fairly quiet holiday period and we needed a win to keep a
good grip on third place.
