Gudjohnsen fractured his leg in two places in the game against Olympiakos, when he collided with Oly's goalkeeper Constanzo. Gudjohnsen will be out for at least four months, but I think we won't see him on the pitch for the rest of the season.

Well, more or less good news is that we didn't lose the game: 1-1.

When I went to sleep yesterday Manolo Jimenez was still in charge of AEK. When I woke up it was Nikos Kostenoglou. 'A decision both AEK and me agreed on', as Jimenez put it, 'AEK will always be in my heart, but it was time for a change.'

Jimenez has been our headcoach for about a year, and the first one since 2002 who was succesful when it comes to prizes: the Greek cup.

Yep. Not looking good for us.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much at all from this match. However, after seeing our players give it their all for much of the first half, I almost felt like we had a chance for the three points. But sadly fatigue, and terrible goaltending (if it can even be called that?

So we play in Brussels against Anderlecht on thursday, our first game in the group stage of the Europa League. A very important game ofcourse, and a chance for retribution after last years Euro League games against the Belgians. But things don't look very good for us. We didn't get to play one game in the Superleague, so we lack playing rythm.

Once featuring USA internationals Freddy Adu and Eddie Johnson along with Mexico's Nery Castillo, Aris Football Club (Greek: .Α.Ε. Άρης), is a Greek soccer club based in the city of Thessaloniki, Macedonia. Aris currently competes in Superleague Greece, the top tier of the Greek professional football system and has won three Greek championships and one [.

UK journalist Matt Slater has summarized the corruption scandal in Greek football for the English speaking world here, but one line struck me in particular:

When Deputy Culture Minister Giorgos Nikitiadis said this was "the darkest day in the history of Greek football" it was probably the first pronouncement by a politician anybody in the country had entirely agreed with for months.

This is Mike (AEK Baltimore). I haven't posted since our 2010/11 Europa League campaign came to an end. But summer's here and its time for some summer reading suggestions for the thinking footballer!

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.

The board of AEK has asked Greek prime minister Papandreou to take meaures to clean up the Super League. Adamidis wants Papandreou to end the supporters violence, corruption and accusations of fraude in the Greek topleague.

AEK chairman Adamidis thinks that Papandreou can play the same role as Margareth Thatcher did in the UK in the 1980′s.

I seriously wonder sometimes... if it wasn't for what our badge stands for and some of the legends that have worn our shirt, why would any of us bother even paying the slightest attention to this joke of a league. I'm referring specifically to yesterday's derby between Oly and PAO though also our match today as well as yesterday's match between Tripolis and Kerkyra.

While the New England Revolution fans have been waiting for news of a big dollar, big name Designated Player (DP), the team has instead added a couple experienced, if not front of mind, French internationals: Ousmane Dabo and Didier Domi.

The first question across many Revolution fans' minds: Who?

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.

What a sweet, sweet victory for all of us AEK fans today! A 2-0 victory over PAO in their own stadium, with both goals being scored by Libe.

The match was a fairly even affair throughout with neither side absolutely dominating possession. The match started with a very low pace with neither team looking to risk too much offensively too early in the game.

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.
