A thread for this specific game, rather than the general Europa League. They played for both: Helder Postiga (see Spurcat below and corrected by Boss) Previous Games: None Share your thoughts on teams, prospects, past results
American athletes are actually trained to say f-all in interviews. Makes for boring reading, but the alternative is often worse. Just tick off a list of cliches, kind of like English football commentators.
DID YOU KNOW? Panathinaikos have only tasted victory against English opposition once, with that win coming against Arsenal in 2001 in the group stages of the Champions League. The Greeks have not scored in their last three European games, but have not conceded a goal at home in Europe this season. Panathinaikos striker Sebastian Leto spent two years at Liverpol, but never made an appearance in the Premier League due to problems with his passport and his application for a work permit being rejected. These teams have never played each other before. Tottenham have conceded just one goal in their last four away games in Europe, with that goal coming in a 1-0 defeat to Rubin Kazan in the group stage last season. Spurs midfielder Aaron Lennon (pictured right) set a record in 2001 of being the youngest player ever to have his boots sponsored when he signed a contract with Adidas at the age of 14. Tottenham have played four games against Greek opposition, including two last season against PAOK in last season's Europa League group stage, but have never scored in Greece.
Their website. It's all Greek to me. http://www.pao.gr/en/ Actually it's in English. They've nicely asked their fans not to bring fireworks and lasers! Guess what they're bringing?
Meanwhile back at the news conference Earth shattering stuff there. Although clearly on first name terms with Jake, but not Kyle N!
I'm really struggling to recognise the players in that pic, but if a senior player is on the plane, then for me, he might as well play instead of a youngster. Doubtless we'll find out soon who actually travelled, and that will tell us a lot about the team tomorrow. I guess with Andre's conference we've had some kind of official team news this time It's great we didn't pick up any more injuries, the squad is really stretched ATM we know 3 players who won't be playing, plus Kaboul BAE and Parker. I wonder if Gallas travelled, I expect Brad didn't.

I remember Pana in the old European Cup and they were good so they have a bit of an aura for me. As for not scoring in Greece well we hadn't beaten Utd had we but now we have so we can score in Greece. I think we'll win this one but what by I don't know. After beating Utd each match now takes on more significance.
Looks like Ade second in from the right going by the way he jogs So what's the deal with our Andros, is he Greek or what?
