Sandpit Songs of the Season: Week 9

Bangkok Utd are the visitors to the PAT this evening in the first Bangkok derby of the season, and whilst many of us quite admire the Angels, for being one of the best-run clubs in Thailand, for sticking with the same coach for 4 years and for playing some cracking football last season, it has to be said that we don’t really enjoy playing them – I’ve been following Port for 4 years and I’ve never seen us beat them, and last season they put 15 goals past us in 3 games.

As the legendary Mark E Smith (RIP) put it, “They are waiting for you, bitterly, for you to fall over…it’s a curse.” It is indeed, and let’s hope Port can finally lift it tonight…
