Fatigue ! Can't buy that - the season is about to begin! - Real European matches, after Schalke 04, Romanian Petrolul - or whatever it was. - The runup to the championship. I know a team or two who play well from early July to August 8, saint Emilian's day, through the friendly newspaper headlines, when the players of all the other teams are off to the beaches. Displays like Mel Pepe stadium and Constantinople are out of the question.' I expect 4-0 against Fulham - who should be "fatigued" too I suppose.

Watch that character Mitroglou. I don't think he is useless and as far as Greece in Brazil are concerned, he's the only one worth a mention in the FIFA website. The other two mentioned there are Karagounis and Katsouranis who are 38 and 38 respectively! Kostas Mitroglou is 26 years old, something of a late developer but he has become a prolific goal scorer. As Gert Muller type players go, I think he is the most accomplished we ever had (and I 'm not a supporter of his former club Olympiakos).

I missed the matches against Basel early in the season. Then I believed those Swiss were some sort of miracle boys, but they proved to be utter clowns. CFC produced a "Mel Pepe" type of display back then I suppose like they did with Galata. Galata Saray (and Fener) are trying but have way to go. But because of the economic crisis in Greece you may see the Turks moving ahead of us. MU were disgraced by the way and they played like conference league team.

Some ostpolitik 2day ... Backpasses to Czech from as far as Galata's corner flag ! Don't tell me we played like that against Liverpool and City.
