Very good Kop.
Very correct.
The reason why Skops are taking Greek histort as theirs. Is because their is shite and they might as well try and improve themselves. Although I dont understand why the world listens to their ruibbish when it has been proven to be just that - rubbish.
Macedonia has been Hellenic for at least 3000 years.

Lol you seriously couldnt make this $hit up....6 rounds into the season, the league structure has been changed for 6th time and expanded to 18 teams....From 14 to 12 to 11 then 12 then 14 then 18.

PAOK have played 6 games, AEK 5, Olympiakos and pao 4 and 4 newly promoted sides 0.

The SA local leagues are seriously better organised.....says a hell of a lot!!

How does that prove you right, it proves it USED to be greek (PAST TENSE). In the present (you know the time we are presently in) it's Turkish!!

No they haven't, and I only know that because I'm a Diagoras fan. Games still come up on my phone as "postponed"!!!

Diagoras was dropped anyway, you won't be getting phone updates!
They're up there with Volos, Asteras and Kavala in terms of stimena.

No start date for lower leagues as yet.
Mid-Nov at the earliest I'd say.

My avatar is my team OLYMPIAKOS. I have a soft spot for Diagoras and follow their results because they are a team from Rhodes whom one of my cousins played for and so i am a fan of theirs, but I only support and am a member of 1 club...OLY :wink:

As a noun, the word "fan" can be used in many different ways. I already told you I only "support" Olympiakos. I've used the word "fan" as in "to like" another team and given my reasons for it. Quite obviously, "I like" Diagoras because they're a team in Rhodes whom my cousin used to play for. Hope that clarified it for you Mr technicality :roll: :arrow:

So, why don't you support your local team. I can't stand bandwagoners.

From where you're from you should support diagoras (I think I might have seen them play - I watched a game when I was in rhodes) or adelaide city/modbury jets/metrostars I think adelaide city would be the closest.

:lol: :roll:
Who says i dont??? My "local team" is neither Diagoras FC or Rodos FC which are the 2 teams from Rhodes who play in the 2nd and 3rd tier of the National competition. Specifically, my local team is in my village which we call "Omonia" who currently play in Div 1 of the Rhodes comps and who I have even played for myself back in the day :wink:

Are you saying that every supporter of the local leagues in SA should not support AU??? :shock: :roll: :arrow:
