Vassilis Pliatsikas, who received some play time with Donis but little with Bajevic is no longer with AEK. Schalke have signed him for a price within the range of 300,000-400,000 euros. Its a good move for him, assuming he manages to impress and therefore earn some playing time. Greeks often seem to play quite well in Germany (Gekas, Liberopoulos, and many others) so hopefully he will play well there as well.

The squad has been anounced for tomorrow's game.

As I was hoping earlier last week, Kyrgiakos will not play at this game. Neither will Alexopoulos due to being suspended (along with Scocco and Pelletieri). Since Juanfran is injured, and neither Alexopoulos or Kyrgiakos will be playing it is possible that we might see N'Siambamfumu, our recently aquired French centre back, play!

A lively first half has rendered a few yellow cards, a penalty kick and two goals, one by AEK's Blanco (penalty kick in the fifth minute) and one by Xanthi's #6 (not sure who that was).  Bajevic appears to have meant what he said in his Thrasyvoulos post-match interview on Saturday:  the starting eleven is no [.

After a month and five days AEK managed to clinch their first win and gain a long awaited for three points. This was the first win for Dusan Bajevic after two away draws before this, one to OFI and one to Levadeiakos. Ismael Blanco scored the only goal of the game which puts him as [...] Click to continue reading...

AEK's poor away form, as many fans feared, has continued with little improvement. AEK drew away with Levadeiakos who currently sit in 11th position with 13 points. Despite hitting the post three times throughout the match neither Djebbour or Blanco could score. AEK were handed a chance to salvage the three points in extra time after [.

AEK's three first half goals did not go unanswered for long.  It took just 31 minutes of the second half for Thrasyvoulos to pull even.  Yes, it is almost unimaginable that a team of AEK's supposed caliber would concede three goals in half an hour to a team holding onto the bottom of the table [...

Those of you who read my game review from last weekend's derby know I think quite a lot of Pliatsikas. Apparently, so does King Otto. Pliatsikas's first call-up, combined with Rehhagel's call-up of Ninis and exclusion of Giannakopoulos may mean that King Otto is finally about the business of revamping the National Team.

AEK ended their second friendly of the preseason against German Second Division team Greuther Furth in a 2-2 draw. AEK went down early on in the first minute and by the end of the scond half they were down 0-2. Two goals however, in the 83rd and 85th minutes of the game allowed AEK to catch [...] Click to continue reading...

PAO is currently tied 0-0 with Aris in the 38th minute. A draw for Aris against PAO and a win for AEK against PAO this wednesday at home for AEK will be enough to ensure that AEK finish first in the Playoffs and can therefore qualify for Champions League. The squad for AEK's away match against [...] Click to continue reading...

Well, I was wrong, we didnt get the win I was expecting, far from it. There really isnt much good news to say about AEK from this match. AEK played a similar style of football to the how they were playing earlier in the year at games such as our 2-1 loss to Iraklis at home [...] Click to continue reading...

Kostenoglou will be taking his usual squad with him to the Appostolos Nikolaidis stadium. The squad will include Macho, Moretto, Dellas, Bourbos, Arruabarrena, Papastathopoulos, Pliatsikas, Geraldo Alves, Edson Silva Ramos, Kone, Julio Cezar, Liberopoulos, and Blanco. Georgeas and Manduca are still not 100 percent ready. Click to continue reading...

The squad the Nikos Kostenoglou will be taking with him is rather similar to the usual. Lyberopoulos, Rivaldo, Edinho, Kone, Macho, Lagos, Kafes, Morretto, Arruabarena, Blanco, Geraldo Alves, Pavlis, Toszer, Pappas, Julio Cesar, Bourbos, Kallon, Pliatsikas, Dellas, Ensaliwa, Edson Silva Ramos. I am pleased to also see Kapetanos included in the squad for the game tonight. Click to continue reading...

A powerful shot by Rivaldo and a beauty of a goal by Ismael Blanco helped to ensure that if the court's desicion tomorrow favours Kalamaria (and therefore AEK), AEK are champions. Demis Nikolaidis said that no matter what the outcome, the players, in his eyes, are champions. AEK this year had the best offence in [. Click to continue reading...
