Sandpit Songs of the Season: Week 7

After an international break of quite staggering pointlessness, T1 returns this week with Port taking on lanterne rouge club Air Force at the PAT on Wednesday night (20:00). The Flyboys may be bottom of the league but with a front line featuring the likes of Marques, Assumpcao, Jaycee John and former Port legend Ekkapoom, Port’s defence will need to be on their guard.

Talking of Ekkapoom, I imagine that when he announced to his friends & family that he’d signed for Air Force, it went something like this bit of sub-Sgt Pepper whimsy from a very youthful Bee Gees. “Mother, I don’t care what my father might think/Perhaps it’s going to drive him to drink…It’s better, it’s better than being alone.” Given their performances so far this season, I’m not so sure about that.
