Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time Wait a minute... Aris has two american players? Next you'll tell me they have a rabid fan base...
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time Panathinaikos sounds like something you'd pick up at a whore house.
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time I think it means something like "of all Athenians."
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time ^^ Yeap! That's right! In greek, the prefix "Pan-" means "all". So, Panathinaikos means the team of "all Athenians". It was named like that in order to represent the entire city of Athens.
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time YES! 5 years of Ancient Greek classes are useful!
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time Looking forward to watching this one.............hopefully some quality streams make themselves available!
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time Well, if the the rabidity of a fan base can be indicated by the earliness of the game day threads, these Aris fans are tough to beat!
Aris plays with Panathinaikos in "Kleanthis Vikelidis"(aka Harilaou) It is heard that Adu will start the game. Hope our team wins. υγ. τρελιαρη κανονισε το θεμα με το μοντ
Υes, I wrote that before Cuper's press conference. He thinks he is not ready for 90 minutes in the greek league and especially for a derby like this. He will probably be a substitution
It is gonna be day at the start of the match...and the fire won't be so easy to be seen... but yeah... we 'll do something
Well, "something" isn't exactly enough to describe what's gonna happen on Sunday! Prepare yourselves for smth spectacular!
Hector Cuper's press conference Aris coach Hector Raul Cuper's statements for Sunday's game: Translated from here: http://arisfm.gr/article.php?node_id=1676
Did Cuper said Adu will only get a few minutes on Sunday? That would be a huge disappointment. I was hoping he'll get around 30 minutes or so.
By saying "few minutes of participation", I think he meant approx. 20-30 minutes. Of course, the way the game evolves could differentiate his participation. Don't take smth for granted... Only Cuper knows. Sunday approaches!
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time Well, let's hope that they don't have a "wooden wall" that "shall not fail" them on Sunday. There, that's my classical Greek reference for the day.
Re: ARIS Salonica vs Panathinaikos: 1/24/2010 16:45 greek time no they are a great team, and will definitely play to win... there big chances for a great game...
Really appreciate the translation. Was thinking about it just now. If it weren't for the dedication and generosity of the Aris fans on here, USA fans would be very much in the dark on Adu and EJ.
Aris' pre-selection for the game: Sifakis, Peskovic, Prittas, Lambriakos, Kouloucheris, Calvo, Campora, Neto, Arano, Ronaldo Guiaro, Nacho Garcia, Javito, Nasuti, Koke, Vangelj, Johnson, Adu, Aravidis, Rovas, Pitu Garcia Before the kick-off, 2 players will be left out. Aris won't have (Tunisian international with French passport, ex-Birmingham) Mehdi Nafti, due to yellow card ban, (Argentinian with Spanish passport) central midfielder Dario Ezequiel Fernandez, due to injury and (Irish U21 international, ex-Man City) forward Ian Daly, due to injury. On the other hand (Argentinian defender with Italian passport) Cristian Nasuti is available again, after a 2-match yellow card ban. Given the absences and Cuper's statements, a possible lineup could be: [LINEUP-4-4-2]Campora, Koke, Calvo, Prittas, Nacho Garcia, Javito, Arano, Nasuti, Ronaldo, Neto, Sifakis[/LINEUP-4-4-2] On the bench: GK-Peskovic DF-Kouloucheris, Vangelj MF-Pitu Garcia, Rovas, Adu CF-Johnson, Aravidis, Lambriakos
