Tactics: City 3 – 0 Aris. Dzeko finds his feet
A swift brace from Edin Dzeko quickly sunk Aris' hopes of a famous giant killing. The Bosnian netted twice to make it four goals in six starts since his £27m move from Wolfsburg. This comfortable win allows progression to the last 16 where we will fac...
City’s Probable Team v Aris, 2nd leg
The absence of Richards has forced Mancini to delve into the EDS for cover. He has included Reece Wabara in the squad. The injuries to de Jong and Milner mean that Vieira will probably continue in midfield after his brace against Notts. Despite all the...
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...
PAOK 1-0 AEK
After all these years we finally lost to PAOK. I left this game for so late because, well, I don’t really feel like talking about it. We played terrible, like a bunch of amateurs. It was obvious PAOK weren’t putting all their effort into the match yet they still out played us. We played with...
THIS IS AEK!
So, we drew to PAOK and Lost to Oly. Things were looking very bad and people were wondering “what’s wrong with the players???”. Well, I don’t know what was wrong with them but yesterday’s 4-2 win against Aris saw a completely different team on the pitch. Sure, a little late to start playing some football...
Announcement

Olympiakos 2-1 AEK
Well, I’ve calmed down since last night so I’ll attempt to explain in a clearer way what I saw last night. Below is a video showing some of the main highlights of the match (it unfortunately misses the hit to Scocco’s chin so I’ll keep an eye out for that one). Well, after the draw...
AEK Dissapoint with 0-0 Draw; Other News and Rumors
AEK Athens could only manage a 0-0 draw with PAOK Saloniki today. Dusan Bajevic had this to say after the match: We started well in the first 10 minutes and they only deserved the first half. We got the rhythm of PAOK and did nothing remarkable. In the second half we played better but we...
AEK Has Supposedly Fixed Upcoming Match
Reports coming out of Greece suggest that the upcoming match with Levadeiakos has been fixed. Levadeiakos are in a fight for survival and currently only sit one point above the relegation zone and some are saying that AEK will let them win this match so they stay up. Many betting companies (both in Greece and...
PAOK 0-1 AEK
So, our excellent form in the second half of the championship continued with only one loss since the December break. Shame we couldn’t have had this form from the start of the season but oh well, maybe next year. Anyways, a great win away in a stadium which has only seen one loss (for the...
Some updates.
Well, I never got around to a summary of the Aris match so I’ll post something brief now for those who missed it.
So, if I had to describe that game and how we got away without conceding, all I could say is luck and Saja. Aris’ offense is fantastic, and they started off extremely strong...
AEK 1-0 Aris!
Well, I don’t have time for a full report right now, but for the time being, here is a video of some of the chances as well as Kafes’ goal.
Huge win, four points clear of Aris now and safe in fourth place.
