Antonis Papakanellos damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom25 May 2037

Continental nights are coming to Aris Thessaloniki

Qualification is secured, and next season the big floodlit nights are continental ones. For the players it is a stage; for the accounts it is a lifeline; for the supporters it is passports.

Squad25 May 2037

The season belongs to Tidiam Gomis

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Aris Thessaloniki have had the benefit of it.

Tempers go at Aris Thessaloniki

Giannis Theodosoulakis was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom25 May 2037

Anastasios Manolas signs for AEK while still at Aris Thessaloniki

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Anastasios Manolas has agreed terms with AEK for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Jesse Derry falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Experience through the door at Aris Thessaloniki

Ugo Raghouber arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Squad15 Dec 2036

Laurent Seji keeps Aris Thessaloniki in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match10 Dec 2036

The cup run ends for Aris Thessaloniki

1‑3 against PAOK, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad15 Dec 2036

Tidiam Gomis is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.90 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match10 Dec 2036

A European lesson for Aris Thessaloniki

3‑4 against Viitorul. Continental football is unforgiving about the things a domestic league lets a side get away with, and this was a night spent finding out which of those the club still has.

Player ratings15 Dec 2036

A brace, and Tidiam Gomis takes the afternoon — 9.14

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Tidiam Gomis provided it, and the 9.14 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market15 Dec 2036

Mamadou Gning puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Aris Thessaloniki, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings15 Dec 2036

André Henrique, 35, rolls back the years — 8.16

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.16 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market15 Dec 2036

Antonis Papakanellos wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Aris Thessaloniki hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
