UEFA Cup Returns
The winter break is over, so UEFA Cup fixtures return this week with the Round of 32.
AEK faces Spanish-side Getafe this Wednesday, February 13th. UEFA has some gathered some interesting factoids on the match. We are in the middle of what some are calling a mid-season slide. This would be a great game to break the fall, to reassert ourselves as a European powerhouse that can compete against the best teams in the world. A loss, on the other hand, will further cement our “also ran” status, demoralize our players, and send the fair weather fans running into the arms of Olympiacos replica kits.
The only other Greek team left in the UEFA Cup, Panathinaikos, face Rangers FC in Scotland. Interestingly, the Rangers seem to have dropped American DeMarcus Beasley from their UEFA Cup campaign and added Steven Davis, a midfielder on loan from Fulham FC. Panathinaikos, for their part, have Dimitrios Papadopoulos at their disposal. Papadaopoulos is one of the leading scorers of the current UEFA Cup campaign.

Papadopoulos has to be one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in my life. I have no idea how he has 5 goals (three coming from penalties) and will not be starring for us. He deserves to be outside the stadium selling souvlakia.
