Is it the first time we've had 2 teams in the EL playoffs?

We've got 3 in the play offs because Omonia got knocked out of the Champions League so she'll join these lot now! But after seeing their useless defense don't hold your breath!

A population of a few hundred k puts 3 teams in the playoffs. To me its absolutely incredible. It was unthinkable a few years ago.

What is incredible is how these teams manage to employ 15 foreign players each. Where do they get the money? Then, lesser teams such as DOXA and PEYIA also field a team of foreign players when in every home match they have less than 200 spectators when they do well. May be they invented a mcchine that makes money or perhaps there is something fishy here. Any ideas GR?

One way is to scout for wealthy families willing to financially support them in return for some sort of recognition and VIP status in the club’s managing committee, etc. :lol:
