Greece - UEFA Club Competitions Participants - 2012-2013

Olympiakos Piraeus --> Champions League Group Stage
Panathinaikos Athens --> Champions League Third Qualifying Round
Atromitos Athens --> Europa League Play-off Round
PAOK. Thessaloniki --> Europa League Third Qualifying Round
Asteras Tripolis --> Europa League Second Qualifying Round

Notes: Panathinaikos did not directly qualify to the Champions League due to finishing second in the league, but they had to play through the Greek Superleague Play-offs, against AEK Athens, Atromitos and PAOK. These play-offs also determined that Atromitos and PAOK were to enter the Europa League, and at what stage. AEK, even though they participated to the play-offs, was not granted a license to play in the Europa League 2012-2013, so the remaining place for Greece in the Europa League was taken by the next team in the Superleague standings, Asteras Tripolis.

What the Hell?

Last matchday, in Greece, PAOK beat Panathinaikos, 2-0, in Athens. They probably cost the currently second-placed Greek outfit the title...

Today, however, the Thessaloniki team did not even get a single point, on its own turf, against the much lower-ranked Asteras Tripolis.

What kind of a team is this PAOK?
I know I could never be a fan of theirs, with such extreme ups and downs.
