Really not sure where to start this one, but I guess Ill begin with Scocco transfer (though I'm
sure most of you have heard by now). Yep, Nacho Scocco is no longer a player of AEK. And I really
don't know what to say about this... literally.
Three seasons he's been with us and in during those three seasons he has left us with so many
great memories: his two goals in the 4-4 Cup Final, his two goals against Oly to give us the win in
Karaiskaki, his two goals (one of them being an outrageously beautiful shot, as were most of his
goals) against Aris, his two goals against Vaslui, his fantastic shot against Panionios, a number
of goals against PAO.
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.
AEK took a big step towards qualification for the Champions League last night at the OAKA with a
comfortable victory in the 3rd game of the playoffs.Coming off a midweek 1-1 draw against pao(a
game in which we could have taken all 3 points).Last nights result leaves us with 8 points,paok
6,pao 4,Oly Volou 3 with 3 games still to play.
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.
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.
We made it much more difficult for us than we needed to but, thanks for Michel's last second
GOLARA, AEK are through to the semi-finals!
I'll admit that I did miss the second half due to this lovely snowstorm we had today in Ontario
and the shoveling which was required, but I managed to catch the first even though it wasn't all
good news.
Davide Mateo, 23 year old centre back signed on loan by AEK, had his first training session with
the team today and nothing but praise has been said about him.
According to team mates and management, he is excellent with the ball at his feet and has an
excellent sense of the pitch and positioning.
AEK traveled north on Saturday night,looking to get back on track after last weeks miserable
game.And it was all positive for Manolo Jimenez and his team as we came away with the 3 points
courtesy of goals from Leonardo and the seemingly never aging Liberopoulos.
Jimenez sprung some major selection surprises in this game with the idea of resting players for the
upcoming midweek 2nd leg Greek Cup clash against pao.
That's right,your eyes are not deceiving you.Our beloved set a new unwanted record on Saturday
night.Heaviest defeat at home by a team from outside Athens or Thessaloniki.And this coming days
after our massive 'away' victory against pao only 3 days earlier.
So what went so wrong????Honestly,i'm not sure.
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.
