Not that far away from the Euro! - 22/08/2003
I just came back from the game against Sweden. It was good to get involved even for 10 minutes.

I guess it is not a surprise how good it was to be included in the squad for game again Northern Ireland.


Top priority... - 25/03/2003
Being selected to represent your country is always a great honor. However, this time playing for the national team will be a bit more special.


Disappointed - 09/02/2003
I was really disappointed when I found out that I was not going to play against Arsenal.


Is our CL position secured? - 30/01/2003
I have heard many people even talking about winning the League after beating the Spurs away, but I think we should first make sure we secure our CL position!


Not True - 11/01/2003
An article in a nationwide paper recently claimed that I threatened to leave the club if I do not get to play. This is simply not true.


Happy New Year! - 01/01/2003
I would like to thank everyone for visiting my site and for expressing their support during the good and bad momemnts of the last year. I would also like to wish everyone a happy new year and if possible... ask Santa Claus for a title!


Fans should back up the national team! - 22/11/2002
I was really disappointed to see only a few thousand fans turn up for the recent game of our National team.


A great day for Greek football! - 15/11/2002
I was very pleased to see both Panathinaikos and PAOK go through to the next stage of the UEFA cup.


First time ever! - 14/11/2002
This was the first time ever that a team that lost their first three games managed to qualify to the next stage!


If I had a second to think! - 21/10/2002
When I saw their striker about to shoot the only thing I could think of was how to prevent him from scoring.


Nikos was named Captain! - 18/10/2002
I was really happy when I was named captain for the game against Armenia. It was the single most important moment in my international career.


Euro-2004 - 15/10/2002
It was a great opportunity to gain a significant advantage as far as the second place was concerned, but unfortunately we did not make the best out of it.


It will get better - 20/09/2002
I know the fans are a bit concerned with the latest results but I really confident that things will soon get better.


Returning from Greece - 13/09/2002
The last week was really difficult for me. After picking up an injury during the Liverpool game I had to be ready for the game against Spain.


Looking forward to a good start - 09/09/2002
It is the beginning of a new campaign and everyone is excited about our prospects.


Nikos' comments after the game against Liverpool - 08/09/2002
I was very happy winning a point at Anfield after all the previous bad results there.


Nikos' comments after the Man City game. - 25/08/2002
Losing a game is always a painful experience. It may have been an away game against Manchester City, but I was hoping we were going to get something more out of it.


Welcome back.. - 01/08/2002
This is the beginning of what I hope it will be an exciting season! Last season we proved that we are a considerable force in the Premier League but we are now faced with an even bigger challenge.


Returning to the CL - 24/04/2002
It is very important that we managed to ensure our Champions League position 2 games before the end of the season as it is a strong indication of how well the team performed this year.


We have the advantage - 19/04/2002
Nikos comments about the Champions League race and the last international game.


I hope I will be ready - 08/04/2002
I had a very difficult week as my tonsils were in a very bad shape and as a result I had temperature for a couple of days.


It is now past.. - 31/03/2002
Nikos' comments about the last game (vs Everton).


FA Cup: The last game - 25/03/2002
Getting through to the next round by playing Arsenal away was a difficult task, which was made an almost impossible one when they scored twice in the first 20 minutes.


This is what I call a difficult week! - 08/03/2002
We had to play against Arsenal a few days ago and the result was certainly not what we had wished for. Then, mid-week, we had to face Liverpool away and lost 3-0. Now we have to play Arsenal once more!


Hopefully next time.. in the FA! - 05/03/2002
We missed a great chance to remain at the top of the table, but it is never easy playing against Arsenal. They managed to convert 2 of their 4-5 chances and I think that tells its own story.


Arsenal's turn - 01/03/2002
Tomorrow's game will be the beginning of a series of three very difficult games.


Looking at the top - 22/02/2002
Playing against Sunderland is always a special occasion no matter where the two teams are in the league table.


Back from Greece - 16/02/2002
Unfortunately I picked up an injury during the game and I am not sure whether I will get to play on Sunday against Manchester City.


Dedicated to Antonis - 09/02/2002
I would like to dedicate the win against Southampton to my very good Antonis, who died two days ago.


A difficult one.. - 08/02/2002
I know that the game against Southampton is an important one, if we want to maintain our league position, but it would also be special for me for a very different reason.


We did it again! - 30/01/2002
After we broke the deadlock against Arsenal it seems that we have found our way against the teams based in London!


100th Premier League Game! - 29/01/2002
The game against Tottenham will be a special one for me! It will be my 100th Premier League game I have played for United.


We needed the 3 points - 20/01/2002
I was very disappointed with our performance during the Leicester game.


Here we go again! - 13/01/2002
Winning Leeds was important as it brought us back to the top of the table.


I was not the one to blame.. - 03/01/2002
I believe that the result was fair. Although Manchester United's performance was not that better than ours, they were more effective than we were.


I want to return as soon as possible! - 31/12/2001
I was hoping we could achieve our 5th win in a row, but I am not disappointed at all by the last home game.


Top of the table! - 22/12/2001
If someone had told me that we were about to get 6 points from the games against Arsenal and Leeds I would had told him that he was crazy!


Finally, 3 points in London! - 19/12/2001
Before the game I would had been really happy if someone had told me that we were to get anything from the game against Arsenal.


Even closer to the top! - 16/12/2001
Before the game I was told that Blackburn had not manage to beat United at St James Park more than 40 years.


Good but unlucky - 15/12/2001
Although our defense is getting better and better in the last games, unfortunately we were very unlucky in the last two away games.


3 more points.. - 10/12/2001
I knew that the game against Ipswich was important one, but it proved to be even more important that I had originally thought


To be happy or not to be? - 26/11/2001
I have to admit we did not perform very well against Derby.


Perhaps next time - 18/11/2001
Unfortunately for another time we did not manage to win in London. I believe it just a coincidence and not a matter of low moral when we play in the South.


Possibility of a tranfer? - 01/11/2001
Nikos' comments about the "West Ham" rumours.


In the top 5 - 15/10/2001
I expected us to win the game against Bolton this weekend and indeed we did so.


A great day for the Greek football. - 06/10/2001
We proved that we are a good side and we can achieve great things if the right circumstances exist.


Not bad for a start - 27/09/2001
6 games, 3 wins, 2 draws, and we have lost a game.


Need to win the next two games - 25/09/2001
I was disappointed with my performance in the last game for the Premier League.


About the National team and the next game - 06/09/2001
Never before in the last 7 years as a player of the national team did I encounter such a defeat.


Almost there.. - 21/07/2001
After the excellent 4-0 in Belgium I believe the second game is of no importance as far as the qualification to the next round is concerned. We did not expect to have many problems and that was what happened. Still we have to face the second game seriously and not only as a training exercise. We now expect our next opponent who I guess from the latest results that will be 1860 Munich.


A new beginning - 11/07/2001
It is true that this season has started a bit earlier than we had originally expected due to the European games. It is not a secret that we wanted to play in Europe and perhaps the Intertoto games will end up being our way into the UEFA cup, which is something we all hope.


World Cup Qualifications - 04/06/2001
For many reasons we expected it to be a difficult game against Albania, and it was. I am really happy that we manage to get the 3 points, as the win was the only way to keep the dream alive. We can still hope and try for the second place in our group. A significant role in the game was the support we received from everyone at Crete.
