Frankly it couldn’t have been scripted better, we won the biggest preseason prize on offer (Champions’ Cup? Never heard of it). Beating bitter cross-town rivals, having come from a goal down, thanks to an injury time winner scored by their former goal scoring hero. The evening started like a lazy metaphor for Ports […]
The second half of the season begins with Port in somewhat of a slump. Having gone into the Buriram match top of the table and for the first time feeling like we did so not as underdogs but as genuine rivals to the champions, we have twice been undone by well organised teams that […]
Port return to action on Sunday after a brief hiatus for the Royal ascension, with a growing sense amongst Thai football that the next coronation the kingdom witnesses could take place in Klongtoei. As much as that opening line got in due to lack of a superior alternative, there comes a point where we […]
Thai football’s biggest inter-club bromance resumes on Wednesday night at the PAT, as Port welcome Chonburi for the final home game of the season. The home side should be buoyed by a 5-0 win at the weekend over Navy, while the Sharks ensured another year of top-flight football thanks to a 3-1 win over […]
The headline for this report is derived from the title of the debut album of British indie rockers British Sea Power. A band with more than a passing similarity to Port, at its best a night spent with BSP is a near riotous evening of beautiful noise, with a band of likeminded souls. Its […]
Thai domestic football returned after its annual midseason unnecessary bullshit break, with Port making the journey south to take on Prachuap. The good news, Prachuap aren’t going anywhere soon. The bad news nor are Port, as we were defeated 2-1 in a match that had that a familiar feel of Port defeats that have […]
Port secured an important three points on Friday night against fellow top-five team and one of the home form teams in the league: Suphanburi. With just two of us going we made our way to Suphanburi via public transport and allowed plenty of time for mishaps or a little sightseeing. There were mishaps aplenty […]
There is a bible story that talks of a young German Christian (Ziege) manager taking the first steps on his assent to the footballing promised land, who traveled far to the lands east, for a fat bag of gold coins (one suspects) to lead a mythical sugar dragon and is confronted by a league […]
When I signed up to write this preview, the plan was simple. With months to go, I’d have an excuse to re-watch the Batman movies, pick out a few lines that could be used to vaguely reference football, Port or Sukhothai to quote, and get the juices flowing on the bat/batman puns front. Throw […]
Port head North this weekend to face Ubon UMT. Both teams could be forgiven for “taking it easy” for the rest of the season as both the Eagles and ourselves have achieved target number one of all promoted teams and sit comfortably in mid table with that “peaceful easy feeling” any realistically chance of […]
