Djebbour signs………..
Refik Djebbour has signed on with AEK until the end of season 2013.Hopefully this is the beginning as Blanco and Scocco have yet to sign and both are off contract at season’s end which will make them free agents available to sign anywhere with AE...
Borbokis attacked……
AEK’s scouter and former fan favourite Vasilis Borbokis was attacked last night at the home ground of Iraklis in Thesaloniki.He was at the ground to do his job as Iraklis was playing a friendly and are our opponents next weekend. As Borbokis took his seat in the stands close to the Iraklis officials,a group of...
Ouch… Thrasivolous 1-0 AEK
I’ll be honest with all of you… this friendly completely slipped my mind! So I obviously never got to see it, however, some videos can be found here. I did hear though that Makos, unfortunately, received a potentially serious injury. Patsa might have been injured slightly as well Dadomo. I heard from some forums that...
Patsatsoglou and Nasuti signed.
So, both Christos Patsatsoglou (former right back of Olympiakos and Omonia) and Christian Nasuti (centre back last year for Aris who we are loaning from River Plate I believe) signed with us today. Not bad for some last minute attempts. In particular, I’m happy with Nasuti. We definately needed someone else back there after Majstorovic’s...
Not what we were hoping for.
So Friday evening comes and PAO draws 1-1 with Xanthi at home. Saturday evening comes and Iraklis beat Olympiakos 2-1. Looks like Sunday may turn out to be a pretty good day I was thinking… and then AEK loses 2-1 to Kerkyra. The game was played in Patra since Kerkyra’s stadium was not yet up...
Moras stays put….close to Yiranek……
The saga with Moras is over,Bologna want to keep him and he won’t be going to Greece.This was his first choice.Sources say we are close to signing Martin Yiranek,first choice stopper for Spartak Moscow having played over 130 games for them since 2004 and who was a part of the Czech squad for Euro 2004....
Europa League Group Stage Draw: Not Bad At All
The draw, which took place in Monaco, is done and AEK find themselves in relatively easy Group G with Zenit St. Petersburg, RSC Anderlecht and HNK Hajduk Split. Aris, by comparison, will need a miracle to advance out of Group B, which contains defending champions Atletico Madrid as well as Bayer 04 Leverkusen. PAOK have...
“I Love It When You Call Me Big Pop-pa!” Papa Bouba Diop Opens His Account in the 23rd Minute!
As I post this, our second-leg playoff match against Dundee United for the Europa League group stage is in the 35th minute, but AEK is already 1-0 up (2-0 on aggregate) thanks to PBD! Match cast here: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/matches/season=2011/live/day=-1/session=2/match=2003118/matchcenterlight/index.html Decent stream here: http://www.iraqgoals.tv/ch17.html update: half-time still 1-0
Looks like we have replaced Majstorovic
Seems like we nearly have an agreement with Kew Jaliens, Dutch defender for AZ Alkmaar. Dutch papers report today that AEK told AZ they agree on the transfer money. AZ doesn’t want to have a whole lot of money for Jaliens, they just want to stop paying his salary as soon as possible. Jaliens, who...
Aek v Dundee Ground 3
Following the destruction at Nea Smyrni by the fans of Panionios themselves,UEFA has ordered that the match be played in Pireus at the stadium Karaiskaki.Not our favoured option but better than being kicked out of Europa alltogether.Suppose the win will taste sweeter. There will be no AEK fans in the stadium for obvious reasons but...
Dundee United at Nea Smyrni!…wait a minute…oh god no…
The BBC and other British media outlets are reporting the good news! AEK beat a UEFA deadline and secured a new stadium for this week’s second-leg Europa League clash with Dundee United! We are all set to play them at Nea Smyrni. According to the BBC: AEK Athens have beaten a Uefa deadline to find...
AEK V DUNDEE UTD MOVED FROM OAKA……
Due to the dangerous playing surface, the 2nd leg of the Europa League clash between AEK and Dundee Utd will be moved from the Olympic Stadium to another as yet unannounced ground in Athens (we are hearing either Nea Smyrna or Peristeri). AEK and UEFA officials have inspected the ground this afternoon and the decision...
