ARIS vs PAOK The mother of all battles. Thessaloniki split at half. Whole Greece waiting for it. El classico of Greece together with Olympiakos - Panathinaikos. The match everyone is waiting for. Cuper vs Santos Super3 vs Gate4 I dont know how many titles to put for this game. Hate between Aris and Paok is something that noone can describe. Similar or more to Real-Barcelona, Liverpool-Everton, ManU-City, Milan-Inter etc. Aris is 5th and trying to be at playoffs and have the smallest gap against the other teams. Paok is 2nd with a team really good at defense and mediocre at offense. They are thinking of title but this is something really difficult since Panathinaikos is a lot better and propably wont loose a game til the end. Aris is going for the win, any other result is loss. Johnson propably at bench and we dont know about Adu. We have to wait til the end of week. My guess is that we need Adu since we gonna play really offensive especially at start of game. Javito is a dissapointment last 2 matches. More reports til the end of week
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Weren't the press saying he would start last match? Why is it one bad half and all of the sudden he's done. Makes no sense but happens regularly.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET i will be watching this game saturday morning regardless of EJ or Adu playing time, this will be happening I certainly hope they do, would be a good bonus
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Its Sunday I m hoping Adu will play and make the difference at left wing
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET I hope both of our boys get on the field for this. Neither of them has played in a game with this kind of atmosphere before. Am I correct in thinking that there won't be any away fans at this match?
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Correct. No paok fans at our stadium. Double training today. Old players described the nature of the specific match. Cuper keeps his plans secret.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET I hope to catch a stream of this. I bet the atmosphere will be unreal. And I hope both EJ and Adu play a lot and play well.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Atmosphere will be sth like this [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtTHFNlck20"]YouTube- AYTO EINAI TO ''???????? ?????????''[/ame] but x10 this time THis video is from last year game Aris - Paok 0-0. Its too early but here http://liveole.tk/ and here bebinio.com the game will be live 150%... Only problem is that because all the greece(at least) will be online to watch it.... i dont know how easy will be to watch it. Anyway you will find the way i am sure.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET This is one of the top quality sides in Greece that Aris is playing this week right? Sandwiched between Panthanaikos and Olympiakos? If Adu or EJ can get in, this would really be one of those games that they can make a strong impression.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET So far Meriem is most possible to play in left winger but so far nothing is sure. We will have more news during the week.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET And sth more to understand how much important game is and how big rivals we are. Before a lot of years(1980) in the end of the year(last round of championship) Aris was in first position with Olympiakos(37 times champion... 2nd team has just 19!... Panathinaikos untill now). Rules were clear. One single game in natural ground and the winner takes the championship. In greece the 2 big derbys are Olympiakos - Panathinaikos and ARIS - PAOK. BUT......... the teams of salonica(ARIS PAOK) are big rivals with the teams from athens(Olympiakos Panathinaikos AEK) so when a team from salonica plays with a team from athens(and specially with Olympiakos!!!) all fans are extra motivated.... So.... In this game Olympiakos won 2-0 and they took the first place and Aris took the second one.... But this isnt the important thing of this game.... This photo is from PAOK funs.... The most fanatics club of PAOK(Gate 4) were in this game together with Olympiakos fans and they support them against as!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I explained you before why this is crazy.... For example.... now if you want to go for a walk in salonica with Olympiakos jersay.... its almost sure that after the walk you will need to go at least in a hospital.......................... I use this as example to expain you how much hate there is between fans of ARIS and PAOK.... If you dont understand my examples ask again to explain... I wrote a lot of times for my bad english... you know So after all these hope to understand how crazy are the fans(from both sides) with this game.... Every year all funs are extra motivated even if their team is in last position even if they are in first position with 50 points extra from second....
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Here we go... The most hated team in the Universe against our beloved team... The "dirtiest" team in Greece... The one that the football officials and system of refs favour the most... Their stronger supporters are people with criminal records in thefts and assaults in women and children. We show them who is the boss in the streets every time... We fear noone, neither the police who give them pardon most of the time. It's now time to show them who is the boss in the field. Reveal their "fake" position and prove them unworthy of being in second place. The crowd of fans and the players will demolish them... Time for war... At the side of the god... Soldiers...
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET I got press news. Javito at bench. Adu or Meriem at left wing. Nice post Mich, good description about our rivals.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET HaHa, you guys are crazy already and now this game has made you ********ing NUTS!!! I love it! Lets GO ARIS lets wipe these lowlife scum from the field!!! PAOK are already dead to me!!! The sword is to good for them! VAMOS ARIS!!! ARIS!!! ARIS!!! ps-It reminds me of the Jets-Dolphins rivalry down here, so many fights, it's crazy. Fans really hates each other, but it's probably a lot closer to UM/ FLorida State/ FLorida, (football) there was some real bad blood between these schools for a while. ( and I was in the middle of it !!!)
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET ******** those p.o.s. Paok! Vamos aris!
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Any idea if Nacho will start? I saw that someone said he had a issue with his shoulder. Could we see him start? Or will Prittas play in his place?
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Prittas and Nafti will start. Nacho on bench....
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Nop I have more if you want.... Labriakos attack Sapoutzis behind him.... Koltsidas with Nasouti CB etc etc etc..... Back to topic
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Maybe one day you will grow up to be a dog.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET i think this game will be great for Adu. historically, he's been known to stand out in big games. hope we'll see the same on Sunday.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Do we know for sure that he's going to play?
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET Be careful... Even a puppy can bite...
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 12:00 ET FYI it is daylight savings time Sunday morning in the US -- not sure if that will affect the noon EST starting time.
Re: EJ & Adu: Aris vs Paok (Superleague) 3/14 19:00 Greek/ 1:00 ET Good point. Can someone change the starting time in the thread title? The game starts at 1 pm EDT, not 12.
