kyleolly Posted 27 October 2020 Share Posted 27 October 2020 So why do you not like being called Athens? and in your opinion who does better Indian food The Raj Mahal or The Prince of Punjab?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Because that's not the club's name. We're also technically not in Athens proper and there are other top flight teams playing in Athens as well. B. You tell me which one to visit if I make it Leicester for the away game. Edited 27 October 2020 by picklerick21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 27 October 2020 Share Posted 27 October 2020 We need our best, or as good as, 11 here. I'd prefer to get in before the international break with 2 wins in the group. I think we'll play tactically with leeds like we did arsenal and if we can get a result against them as well then that's a great window for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half your XI is Portuguese, the colors are pretty much the same, even the badge looks suspiciously familiar … Did Fosun and Mendes go in together on your club too? Or is it an under-the-table Wolves “B” or some s***? Because this is seriously whiffy. Edited 27 October 2020 by KingsX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 27 October 2020 Share Posted 27 October 2020 @picklerick21Welcome to the forums and love it that you are participating in the banter! This is one of the things I am looing forward to the most this season, finding out more about teams that get very little exposure over here. What's the Coronavirus situation like over there? Fans won't be allowed into European games, but there were rumours that they would be allowed back into league games. Is that going to happen this year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in Greece but do follow current affairs closely. Cases are exploding - albeit on a smaller scale compared to more populous countries - and it looks like the next 6 weeks will be quite difficult. Becaue of this, any plans to allow fans back in stadiums have been scrapped. We, of course, follow the EPL, and Leicester is a very likeable side. It gives me hope that success isn't only predicated on a club's budget and worth. Edited 27 October 2020 by picklerick21 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have a long history with Portuguese players and managers for some reason. But we were severely undermined by a clown of a coach last season.

Go watch the highlights from Braga-AEK then. If we were at full squad, if we had fans present, I would give us a 50% chance to draw. I'll be thrilled with 0-0, but I'd put my money on 0-1.

All our holding midfielders are out, our center backs are new acquisitions and still gelling, our best winger is out, and our featured attackers are far off form. We stand no chance. Couple of things: 1. Please don't call us "Athens"- team is called AEK, sounded out phonetically. 2. There will be no fans in the stadium. 3. Ask me anything Welcome. 1 - What are general predictions from the AEK fans on this 2- What are your fans hoping for in the group in general? 3- What is your style of play? 4 - Any star players (or hidden gems) we should be wary of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fear the worst. A 0-3 would sting. 2. We're hoping to finish 2nd, but we shot ourselves in the foot in the opening game. With a full squad, we're capable of it. 3. Our coach is Italian, from the Juve school. Think cynical, no frills Italian soccer. We've employed 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 but we play like ass with the latter. 4. In theory yes. Nelson Oliveira and Marko Livaja are potential game changers, but they are in contract talks and playing like garbage. Petros Mantalos, the captain, is important all around in terms of pace and spreading the ball. Our star winger in the making- Levy Garcia- is out. This kid has EPL potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
